    Tossing Weight With Torobestia: Powerlifting Log

    Hey, guys. Sorry for lack of updates. I intended to lift on Friday, but as I was at the gym warming up my shoulder felt pretty bad doing flat benching, so I decided to put the gym off. Worth noting, I tried to do some stuff for the teres and I think that caused me to hurt myself. Thus I won't do...

    Rob112^3...That means cubed guys. See what I did?

    Looking good with the lilly benches. No vid for the top working set on regular flat bench?

    Can't sit cross legged

    Just to clarify, you can't sit in a chair cross-legged or you can't sit on the floor crossed-legged/Indian style? If it's the former, your low back, hip flexors, and/or piriformis need to be stretched. You may also have some spinal issues affecting this. If it's the latter, you're really...

    Ace's training log

    I imagine max 60lbs at the top since that's what I was getting and I'm a pretty tall guy. Though, if we're to believe Rodja maybe you can get more or even less out of them due to the subpar QC at EFS regarding bands. BTW, nice training, and looking real jacked. Lol'd at jim's comment. And damn...

    Hmm, what about using a smaller dip for the push press? I feel you go a bit too low on these, just my opinion. Good work though

    Well, these dips are just basically using my scapula to move myself. It's more of a rehab thing. Yeah, 6x5. Hey, it's almost like DE work, if only it were a bit more brisk than it was. Well, by tri-lat I mean I feel tightness in the area where the tricep and the lat meet.

    No, I don't have access to that. Our dip station is actually really trash. Hopefully as our gym continues to expand we'll get one of the nice dip stations that are also a decent pullup station - and I'll be able to do pullups with proper form, then, too, lol. Anyways, I make do. I can't say I...

    Chasin' Gaynor...

    I wonder what exactly you mean by hip snap - do you just mean that the lockout felt stronger? At any rate, I've always felt better accelerating through a deadlift rather than firing all cylinders from the start. Also, this may just mean that you're not pulling the slack out of the bar every...

    Haha funny on doing the stack with rows. Thankfully ours still has a bit of room left to accommodate me as I develop more strength before I have to add plates on the pin. Some nice sets of prs you've been hitting.

    Ahh, the joys of moving gym equipment.... Invalid Link Removed I'm the guy in the white with my back facing the camera all the way to the left beside the guy in burgundy The only thing worse than that jungle gym were the mats. Those f'ers are awkward and heavy.

    Well, it's fun in that just about any exercise can bring it up if it's at zero. So I can do shít that I like to do even if it's not necessarily a weak point =p (I won't overuse these movements, I promise!)

    Well, I came in to the gym today with the intention of getting in some squats and deadlifts. After my mobility work limber 11 though I was not feeling it at all lol. I did reverse hypers for sets of 10, stritct with pause at contraction, up to 180. After 3 sets of 180x10 my low back was done...

    That's awesome progress, man. You've been killing it. How old are you again? I caught that you've been exercising in some form or another since 15 but I have no way to put that into perspective.
