Do you recall your reps?

I can't do that. 225lbs on the squats is considered heavy for me (right now).

Well, TUT, bro. I think I was doing 4 or 5 on the V-Squat and 5 or 6 on the Squat Press, but my warmup set on the Squat Press was 20+ at the same weight. It's actually a very nice piece of equipment. I've never used it before. I like it much better than the regular Sled.

That's pretty much what I felt like. I've gotten over the humbling aspect of low weight on TUT. People look at my low working weight, and then look at my massive pump after I rack it, and often seem very confused.

TUT ain't no joke. It's PAINFUL stuff, but an excellent workout. Although, I can't say I want to stay on it much longer. I'd love to move some heavy weight. It's doable for everything other than my lower back and legs. :sad3:

TUT, 4-5 reps with 225lbs. I struggle to do 4-5 reps on 225 regular pace. How does the back feel now?

Alright-alright, that's enough of that low working weight business. You're not helping my healing process.

I feel ya. It's not so bad. I have to dead lift next to people that I should be pulling double to in comparison, but when we're pulling "around" the same weight and they look at themselves and look at me. Their ego goes up whilst mine shoots on down, accompanied by forcible shrinkage as a result.

It's all good though, I'm grateful to be doing deads, period.

Yep. I'm happy I can still move and get in the gym. I'm sure I'd be able to keep the same leg size or even grow without ever doing BB Squats again, but that doesn't mean I don't want to do them, you know? They're just...awesome.

oh for sure. Though with deads came a lot of muscular and strength benefits, I've built my back just fine without it for a couple of years. Not to sound douchey, but clearly my traps have not suffered from my lack o'deads. Was that douchey?

Good job bro, it sounds like an AWESOME workout.

No doucheyness that I noticed.

I saw some dude doing Dead Rows today (I just made that term up cause it sounds sweet)...He was doing Deads with an Upright Row at the top. Aren't those called "Complex Movements?" - When you have multiple exercises in the same repetition...?
 
I don't know why I was thinking about this on my way to lunch, but with the recent talk of AM admins and The Godfather, I thought, "If I had to rank the admins by Mafia standards, I think it would go."

CosmoKramer, Godfather
B-Fed, Boss
Jayhawk, Consigliere
(Underboss)
(Captain)
(Henchmen)

or just

CosmoKramer, Godfather
B-Fed, Consigliere
Jayhawk, Boss
.........

not sure how the rank technically goes or who other Admins are. Random Crap, I know.

"I take your log! lelelelelelele"

You could use complex, but it could still be umbrella'd under compound.

That movement is popular with athletes, if done with contact and a pop at the upper thigh (using the hips), that movement becomes a traditional "scarecrow." A technique to support The Snatch.

It's also wildly popular with Cross-Fitters, but most things cross-fit were derived from S&C training. Just combined and excelled in volume.
 
Dead Rows is pretty much just the first 2/3rds of a clean and press... without turning your wrists up. He must have been going relatively light?

I've seen a "ex college" Linemen do Scarecrows aka Dead Rows, with 225lbs, which is effing nuts. He wasn't even doing it ("right" for athletic purposes) in utilizing the hips. Just dead, upright row, barbell parallel to the eyes & back down, for about 6 reps.

135 I believe. The dude is real athletic looking; ripped to shreds. I see him in there every morning usually. We don't talk too much, but usually give the fist shake and share lifting information here and there.

I can manage 135, but I usually incorporate those two movements into two separate days.

Uh ohhhh.

I could see why schools banned it, and it shouldn't be worn under certain circumstances (photo identification, etc.), but I think they need to back off a little. I don't enjoy hiding a pretty woman's face, but it's not really hurting anyone. If they want to do it, they should be able to. I don't agree with it, but as I said, do as you will.

Might as well ban baseball caps, and those little beanie (no propeller) things the Jews rock.

Wellll, those don't cover your face. Not exactly the same, but I see what you're getting at.

I mean, I'm not siding with Al Qaeda by any means, but France should just let it be. I'm sick of hearing about governments controlling every aspect of life.
 
It gets cold here in the winter... One time, on an especially cold day, I was walking up the subway stairs, and this big dude came running down the stairs with a full face ski mask on...

I think I sh*t my pants a little bit.

so you are saying there is a chance? my math doesn't say so.

Irish Cannon said:
Bahahah! I just read that and it's actually quite funny. I'm confused why you're not getting lots of positive reps for that.

Ya, B5150 will wreck you.

i thought the same thing. i mean, this is a bodybuilding website right?

C'mon guys. Did you not see I supersetted Squat Press and V-Squat today WITH a busted back? Give me some props here!
Click to expand...

PROPS!! i would give you reps but i'm still around the -400000 point region.

thanks for all the reps guys.

i think i'll start a thread and see how many reps i can get just to get positive again.
 
:lol:
 
Haha that would put a big hit on LG.

"Ohh he's an LG rep.....wait why is he red......shady company"
 
What are you talking about? lol
 
One of my managers and I have discovered it quite fun to speak jibberish while there are customers around; unfortunately we've also found that Asian customers don't appreciate it...still funny, though.

hong I! toy-YA! toy-YAA!!!!

Plus, I need to tell another funny that happened yesterday...

Another dude I work with was flirting with this chick he was checking out. I picked up a clipboard (to look manager-like) and walked by him and said, "Hey, you're doing great here, but when you're done checking her out, I need you to go in back and clean up the toilet. Someone left a mess. Make sure you get in there nice and deep...(as I'm walking off) Thaaaaanks!"
