Binging on Pure ****ing Rage
Where there is a will there is a way!
Standard dips, I believe Gironda's emphasize the pecs more, am I correct Mullet ?
Yes, they emphasize the pectorals more. I prefer them to standard on pec., day.

Wouldn't "good game" also be proper cause for a light hiney slap?
Do you have a proper Goranda bar setup at your gym?
I don't really have a choice... Just standard and wide grips conventional dips.

Go for a run with the burger meat exposed to the world.
As to the hand position of the G-dip, are you saying the knuckles will be facing inward (palms away from the body)? I've tried this on our normal dip bars and my wrists were not have'n it, so tried normal grip, but legs up toward my chest, like the end position of a leg lift crunch, but I don't think I was feeling it in the right places.
Exercise DVD, totally. I still utilize the Incline Bench, EZ Bar rows you recommended many moons ago.
Do you? Yeah, those are awesome for getting that thickness in the rhombs that's so hard to achieve.

I'll have to revisit the G-Dips, my primary intention when I do dips is for the pectoral stimulation.
I like focusing on booobies.. :boobies:I think most people also focus on pushing their body "up", whereas Gironda usually emphasized pushing the floor "down". I feel focusing on lifting the body up tends to produce movement and a truncated range of motion, whereas focusing on pushing the floor "down" tends to help you focus on your boobies more.
I think you explained it rather well bro. :thumbsup:Much of this stuff I find hard to explain with words, so this may come out a bit jumbled. It is really easy to grasp in person, though. Mullet Weird-Exercise DVD?
Shareeeeee? :banana:

You need an incline bench and an EZ Bar.
I warm up with the 45's. Load the EZ Bar with the 45's, position the EZ Bar behind the incline bench (top of the bench).
Lay chest first against the incline bench and grab the EZ bar by the two upward facing humps.
Go to town.
Some people complain that you can't "feel" BB rows, that the stimulation too broad and lack a targeted pump, but you can feel these pumping your upper back. The close grip also taxes your rhomboids in a special way. These get me sore around the same area as deads do.
Guessing you put the incline bench at the lowest possible setting - typically where one would place for incline DB flies? Does sound like a good exercise. I do BB rows every back workout, but you could probably do both, the latter being for more of a concentration movement.
I think the problem with BB rows is that 90% of the people load too much weight on, and make it a jerking motion (hips, calves, feet, back) instead of keeping everything still aside from the bicep and back portion. I get a great pump from the slow contraction, short pause at apex, and slow release.

I wish we had a V-Bar, but no such luck. You can emulate Gironda Dips on a standard straight-bar dip station via changing your center of gravity and grip, though. Most people tend to grip the bar and bend their wrists toward their body, place their shoulders behind their center of gravity, and push upwards; rather than activate the pectorals, this primarily activates your anterior deltoids and triceps. To emulate the GDIP, you bend your wrists outward to either side, bring your feet past your chest to alter the center of gravity, and push downward with the chest. The natural consequent of bending your wrists outward is the movement of the elbow and shoulder will follow, largely deactivating them; thus, a more complete pectoral movement. If you bend your wrists in the standard fashion, inward toward your body, you naturally end up pushing down with your deltoids and shoulders.
I think most people also focus on pushing their body "up", whereas Gironda usually emphasized pushing the floor "down". I feel focusing on lifting the body up tends to produce movement and a truncated range of motion, whereas focusing on pushing the floor "down" tends to help you focus on your boobies more.

Yeah, that is the setting I recommended initially. I do them as a finesse set with Crucifix Lat Pulldowns, both at 15 reps, on a 4:2:2 cadence; 3 supersets total.
Sorry for hijacking your log DFly!

I like how you now set me up for the purposeful miss-interpretations...
Gun shy?
:toofunny:
115lbs is awesome DF. I've never seen a "lean" girl bench that much.
There was this big, black track & field girl at Azusa Pacific University, one of the nations leading female shot putters. She looked like Ronnie Coleman from the back and she had a 225lbs, 5-6 reps bench. I might have been envious of her lat spread.
I'll re-emphasize, way to attain that strength while keeping your femininity DF.
There is a female trainer at my gym that has competed at the Arnold Classic, and was actually in a documentary about BB'ing. Her name is Marylenne, and she is phenomenally ripped. It's sad because few men at my gym swallow their egos enough to take advice from her; however, she is a wealth of training knowledge.

Speaking of taking advices, whilst you are here Mullet I've got a few questions for you !
1. When is Product X going to be available for common mortals and dragons?
2. Currently I'm on 6 Prime a day (wo days), 4 on "rest days" (I usually do some form of cardio). This scheme worked well for me in the past and it has proven effective again. I have increased the frequency and intensity of training and I continue to make decent progress.....and so I'm tempted .... to bump Prime to 8 on wo days Invalid Link Removed
Were these queries somewhat predictable ? :lol:
1) We will see, DFly. At the moment, the extraction is quite costly, and not at a level we feel comfortable mass-producing. Most people like to take jabs at "USPlabs' extraction", however, it is rather expensive when you develop a brand new product!
2) Are you using the 600mg or the 800mg version?
I can believe that
The 600mg but I am about to run out of it so it means I'll be visiting NP soon![]()
Haha, well then I see no issues using an equivalent to 8 capsules. With the new PRIME, you will need 6 capsules.
8 x .600 = 4.8
6 x .800 = 4.8
I've tried to emulate your multi set pull ups and it's not easy, but damn are pull ups a great exercise.
Indeed they are....I find hard to make progress on pullups but that makes all the fun :twisted:
Hell I struggle getting 8 with my body weight let alone weighted but agree it is the challenge that makes you do them every time for back workouts, oh, and the lats getting bigger is not too bad either. :djparty:
8 sets weighted, good lord. You're raising the pull ups standard too high. I've not yet caught up with the old gold standard of 8-10 sets BW.
