Fun day! I'm going to have to do some C&P with the new axle bar we got at the gym. I prefer benching on it, though. A fat, hollow bar makes me look like I'm strong.

While it's on your belly, flip your under hand over, and then transition to the rack.

I had no problem doing that, I just couldn't pop it up to the rack off the belly. I finally got the last one by dipping, triple extending, then dipping to catch.

That sounds about right, the axle C+P is rough man. There really isn't a lot you can do to technique it better, find a way that works for you and practice the **** out of it.

I like that session, I've been meaning to ask. You program your own training, yeah?

Those DE squats with 30sec rest wrecked me last time (315x8x3), but this time I felt good afterwards.
 
30s rest. Unreal. I'm more of the Dave Tate Reasons to be Big article "Speed squats where the only thing moving fast is your heart rate." That'll pay off, tho.
 
Sean1332, ya it would appear so. Plus all the strongman training is helping.

Not sure what you mean, as in Dave advocates more rest or less?

I like it this way for the work capacity; I just do as many sets as possible until my speed drops off, then shut it down.
 
It's a very tongue in cheek article about being a big guy. He states 27 reasons he loves being big, which are all really shytty things about being big.
 
rob112 that's the idea! You're not rob1882 on BB.com right? Your avatars are completely different looking dudes, but name so close, lol.

Ah, makes sense now. I have the opposite problem, getting skinnier (206 this morning), leaning out though it seems.

Damn! That's enough to get me on instagram tomorrow.
 
aceroni, your PM box is full but this was my reply: lol thanks, grip strength is a huge limiting factor for me, I have those little burgerking hands.
 
Thanks bud. I guess I just need to start picking up heavy farmer handles..

Also apparently "your device doesn't meet the minimum requirements to post video to Instagram " :(

Nice OHP numbers. Very close to your bench on the day. That sucks about the bench. I know exactly what you are talking about. Super hard to feel stable on benches like that.

Lol ya quad death.

Car deadlift is more leg drive than anything, so should help conventional more so. Sean got to see on Instagram...

Its more like a hack squat than a DL.

Do you think a barbell hack squat from blocks would have a good carryover to the car deadlift, then? Or from the floor?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I don't think I've ever even seen a BB hack squat.

I did a simulation of it that was pretty close (although, the pick was a little low so it would be better off blocks)

This is how we did it:

I'm going to say no since I've done both, minus a real car deadlift.

But from my understanding you should treat it like a vertical leg press and focus on pulling back, not just up, thus BB hack squats wouldn't be particularly good.
