Glad you liked the video. I plan to add more technique tutorials soon. It's easier to record now that my garage gym is completed and I'm lifting at home.
Hey Smont,
Many people (myself included) can bench with good (not great) technique and even a few muscle imbalances when using moderate weight (reps at 8 and above even taken to failure) and not feel anything out of sorts. Heavy weight can result in strain (slight pull can be from minor strain)...
My shoulders were getting beat up after about 10 years of bench pressing with elbows flared out to the sides and keeping my back flat. I had to stop pressing for a year. I worked with a strength coach and studied ways to keep shoulders healthy while pressing heavy. The size of the arch isn't...
I'm enjoying Bucked Up - All Bulk/No Bloat. I've added a couple reps here and there on my working sets. The swole whip flavor tastes like pina colada. Peach lemonade is pretty good too. I prefer the swole whip. Once in a while I'll add a couple shots of coconut rum and some crushed ice to...
Clomid doesn't have a great reputation for boosting performance in the gym. I tried it and like many others experienced an increase in total and free test in labs without any benefits in performance. There's also the possibility of permanent vision changes. It probably won't occur but why...
At 195 my bench is approaching 500. I'll be testing out my 1RM in a couple months. My best deadlift was 650 and squat 550 at 205 pounds. My squat is still in the mid 500s but deadlift is much lower. I'm not built for deads but I have enough muscle that I can still get heavy with it. The...
Here's my current delt routine. Invalid Link Removed Jump to 2 minutes for rear delt exercise information. I like to follow up 4 sets of incline rear delt raises with a drop set to bent over lateral raises. I have a hard time lifting my arms for 5 minutes afterwards.
2 on 1 off repetitively. Bro split. It seems push pull legs is the popular thing these days. The top level natural bodybuilders, Doug Miller, Phillip Ricardo Jr still bro split. At 40 I still get great results from my bro split. I like to trash each muscle with most sets taken to failure...
My bench is currently around 500 and weight is 194. My last usapl meet was 442 at 195 bodyweight and I set the VA state record. Let me know if you have any questions. Best deadlift out of comp was 650 and squat in mid 500's.
My limiting factor has always been keeping the joints healthy. I think adding in calories and staying at 200 when things get heavier will help. In the past a shoulder issue and later elbow pain forced me to cut back. A lot of that was bad technique... not knowing how to tuck shoulder blades...
