Do they even lift? NomZ and Rhadam train to compete with SNS!

Damn, you're so much smoother than I am. And I can't overhead squat, snatch balance, or catch a weight overhead with any manner of weight.

I couldn't either, just recently started getting better, just have to work at it.

They're a little sore actually, lol.

Technically it shouldn't bang the hips, it may look that way but its just the hips extending.

Why the false grip on the benches?
 
jimbuick said:
I always false grip on Bench...
Click to expand...

I feel like I can't pull on the bar hard enough when I do that, I'm always thinking "spread it, break it" and I don't crank on it the way I want to with a false grip. That's just me.

I do it because I get more direct force to the bar that way. :shrug:

If I had some wrist wraps I would wrap my thumb, but without them false grip is gonna be stronger.

My partner and I just weigh the setup with a loaded bar after we finish all our sets, then remember for next time.

Thanks, wanted to know what 530 feels like on my back for next month's meet...

Not sure on both really, lol.

If I can hit 195 by the beginning of October, I may do a 15lb cut for 24hr weigh-ins.

I'd like to open 465/265/550 I am guessing, completely up in the air since I don't know where my deads are.

Optimally want 530/300/615...

Pretty unsure this far out though.

I've done 11-12lbs without sweating, figure those extra 3lbs can be sweat and spit...

Just 3lbs of sweat and spit? Talk about a walk in the park.
 
NomZ said:
After 12lbs dehydration? I don't think so chief...
Click to expand...

True. When I wrestled, I would sweat 4-6 each practice, and then lose 8 the night before. But, I was doing it every week and my performance was compromised. When I dropped 8 for my meet in August, I thought I was going to die. It's funny how what used to be easy for me is no longer easy. In college, I was told I was taking it easy for coming down from 205 to 184. We were expected to perform while we felt like ass.

I meant no disrespect, bud.
