with face pulls, i sit down on the floor, and brace my feet against the machine. from there, its a bicep curl that turns into a reverse fly - moving the elbows till they're in line with your head.

when doing them standing, i have to lean back. a lot.

good workout by the way!

Hmmm never thought about sitting down? Good Idea! Ya i felt i was leaned back pretty far, when i got it pulled in i would hold for a sec and release slow! But thats when i kept wanting to tip forward lol

Thanks Brother! Glad to have you back :)

Nice workout my man. Keep working on those deads, you're gonna be a beast soon!

I wouldn't worry about the weight lost, I fluctuate 5 pounds very easily. Eat some carbs if you're worried!

Will Do! Some ppl like one of the big 3, but i like all 3 more then any other workout. I think its cause i know that those are the main stays of building mass and getting stronger, so thats what i enjoy them lol

Your right. I was just suprised when i stepped on the scale? I was like wow i actually lost weight yet am still gaining strength. Im not complaining in that regard by anymeans tho!

Nice w/o Teg. The grip strength will come with time. Do you use an overhand or underhand grip for the BB rows. I go underhand just because it seems to force me into using more lats than upper back. Just drop your rear and arch the back...pull to your upper belly. Sunny has the right idea on the face pulls too. Do them sitting and pull with your elbows. Keep the momentum going here Teg!!

Yes, i just like everyone else hate havin a weaker part that relies on another part to work. Like my Pull Ups! Owell, as you said, in time..... I was using overhand. Ill swap next time and try it that way. Overhand has always felt awkward even at light weight. Ok for sure, ill try the sitting face pulls see if i can get them down!! Thanks AZ! Im goin to keep this locomotive rollin till the track stops or the wheels fall off!

YW on the RDL my man... Get some straps now.

Face pulls - just get into a nice deep stance and lower the pulley a bit...

Ya i thought about getting a set. Of course use them only for heavy sets and work on forearm strength in the mean time.

GMG760 said:
I like that you are teaching people good lessons on how to train back. My work here is done. :28:

Teg - invest in some wraps if you want to increase your deadlift numbers. It isn't going to help your grip, but it's not really a grip exercise. I do them w/out wraps because I am nuts like that, but in reality my last sets should have wraps. I suggest you do just that, and use wraps, but just for the stuff that you need them for.

Hahaha TY Gmoney! :notworthy:

True and i have heard that before! Guess ill pick up a set, cause i do want my DL numbers to go up. You just sealed the deal! I know if i have a strong back, itll help with other lifts as well, not to mention weight gain! I do look like a twig still so i wanna get my baby wings to grow as well!


Wow Thanks for teh encoragement guys! Its much appreciated! I know its a long road and i must be paitent, its just hard sometimes, when youve already been in the same spot 2other times and had to hurdle it yourself with no help! So thank you agian guys!

To Yall :notworthy:
 
I don't use grips either, but I'm going to start incorporating them when I go up in weight more. Me and G are f*ckin crazy

Ok Sooo im happy with todays over all workout. But, i just didnt feel good again and i think i know why. I forgot to take my Iron Pill early in teh morn, and then i had some gatorade and it didnt agree with me! ARG! Sooo i FEEL like ish, but my lifts still went well and so, im happy about that!

***Heres why im a total N00B and feel DUMB! So i had me a spotter on my 165 BB Bench which was one of the Trainers there(who is very strong and smart) Anywhozzle, ive known him for like 4yrs now and hes seen me in my ups and downs and said wow man your coming back really quick and i told him ya i hit my maxs already on RDLs and he goes nice, and for some reason he goes, "you do know all these new bars are the 45s right?" i go, "So which ones are the 35s and which are the 45s they all look the same cept the silver one" He goes, "we got rid of the old ones that were bent and so there are 4 45s and 2 35s." I got wow, i feel really dumb right now" He asks why? I say "Cause i calculated my lifts wrong then for my DLs. That would mean i blew my old RDL numbers outta the water" He asks what they were i told him and so NOW, REAL numbers are 225 for my RGLs!

Wow im dumb........ Someone hit me pls!:banghead:

You should feel safe assuming that any Olympic bar is 45 pounds. The 35's were probably bending because they were either hollow - or a cheaper alloy.

:werd: You are going in the right direction.

True. They look almost exactly like the old ones, cept the lil end pieces(were the plates hit against) are bigger, NOW that i looked at them. I dont think there hollow, prob. cheaper alloy tho :dunno: There are quite a few guys there who reg. used them and put 400+ on them for DLs, Squats ETC. and some just "let it fall" on the safty rack or floor and i know over time that it does wear on them if they are treated like that.

Guess the main thing is, Now i know atleast!
 
I think you should be celebrating instead of berating!! Nice PRs bubba.

Yeah, of course that will beat up the bars...

I still have no clue why they were only 35 pounds though...
 
Yea, 35's... that's pretty wack. I expect all my bars to be 45 lbs+. My gym has a few 55 lb'ers that have an extra thick grip... I hate them, but they make you work soo much harder. Good job Teg!

I dont know why they did? Maybe just didnt wanna spend the extra on new bars till they needed them or something? I :dunno:

Since they have built this newer and BIGGER gym, they have upgraded ALOT of stuff tho! Everything from the treadmills, bikes, to the plates, mats, DBs, and benches! Guess BBs werent at the top of the list???? Ya i hope they get some of the 55s in. I would just like to try them! Thanks Bradda! Today "seemed" hard, yet was still soild!

BTW im feelin a lil better now! :)

this reminds me of a story of a powerlifter that was never able to break 500 pound bench. the trainer (this was in the 60's, before powerlifting suits), told the guy "okay, this is 496, just like you did last time. after the powerlifter got a clean rep, the coach said "count the weight, you just did 501".

moral of the story - your mind will give out before your muscles will.

anyways, nice progress man.
 
Wow GREAT story bro! Ill have to remember that! And yes, the mind is a damn tricky lil thing! Ive had to learn that in many situations, namely pain and over coming it, as well as doing things that ppl say i cant do! ARG!
