    My grip keeps holding me back on sumo/sumo romanian deadlifts

    So the most I ever got on deadlifts was doing sumo style and I got 405 for just one rep. I trained and trained and still kept coming back to 405 for one rep. So, I decided to switch it up and do sumo romanian deadlifts. Well, to pout it simply, I have flat feet and I'm in my early 30s. I just...

    Will DIM work well for prostate health(BPH)?

    That's great, but I still need an alternative if they won't approve it.

    Will DIM work well for prostate health(BPH)?

    I was using Nettle Root, but feel I need something more powerful. I have had BPH on and off for a while now and each time I take Nettle Root, it seems to go away, but it takes way too long. As far as askign the doctor, I don't want to take any medicine that lowers T levels and since I have...

    Can't progress past 135lbs on reverse grip bench.

    I've injured my shoulders in the past from ego lifting in my early 20s. I am now 31. I have never had an x-ray of my shoulders. My insurance isn't the best and they make you run through all these hoops, so I never got them xrayed. I did go to PT before when I first injured them. Then later with...

    Can't progress past 135lbs on reverse grip bench.

    I injured myself years ago benching 290 flat. Then I injured myself close grip benching 215 close grip bench. So for about 2 years I've done dumbbell bench and hit 80 pound dumbbells. Then I switch to reverse bench. Well it's been a month and Im still at 135. I did dumbbell bench with 85 pound...

    Any big benefit to doing reverse curls cross body?

    I tried it today just to switch it up from hammer curls and felt a huge pump in my arms, but apparently I must be the only person on Earth that does these, since all I can find is info on curl body hammer curls.

    Unanswered Will Romanian Deadlifts help me sumo deadlift more?

    I switched from standard deadlifts to hybrid sumos, because it takes a lot of stress off my back. I feel in almost entirely in my legs when I hybrid sumo deadlift, UNLESS I already have an injury prior to deadlifting. My goal is to be able to hybrid sumo deadlift 405 2-3 times consistently, or...

    Unanswered Will Romanian Deadlifts help me sumo deadlift more?

    Right now I am recovering from an si joint injury. It wasn't actually caused by deadlifts, but by bad posture sitting on my chair. I PC game a lot and hence am in my chair a lot. Anyway, I went from standard deadlifts to hybrid sumos awhile ago and I got up to 385 hybrid sumo for a set of 3, but...

    Unanswered I'm curious, are these good numbers? I think I'm close to my natural max limit.

    Dumbbell press flat, or incline? At flat I can press 105, but it bothers my shoulders, hence why I do incline.

    Unanswered I'm curious, are these good numbers? I think I'm close to my natural max limit.

    So for reference, I'm 31, 6 foot(182cm) and weigh 260(118kg). I do need to loose weight though, about 45 pounds (21kg). Anyway, I bench press with dumbbells on a high incline at 45 degrees, because of past shoulder injuries from barbell ego lifting in my 20s. So I'm benching with dumbbells that...

    Looking to take cortisol supplements I can take all year preferably cheap

    I haven't been on in awhile guys, but thank you for all the suggestions. I found out the true issue. It wasn't cortisol, well not directly. It was a Dopamine deficiency. Everything is pretty much under control now. I do still have spikes so to speak, but I am much, much more calm.

    Unanswered Can I used two bumper plates on the bar, instead of usign a mat?

    I found a company and thanks. I had to look at a bunch of sites, but finally found one that charges $43 and not $286 for shipping, or $170 for shipping. And Yeah, I have a return label from the company I ordered through Amazon from, but I wasn't about to order again from them because they're...

    I checked and the only close place is in a completely different county at least 30 miles away and I have to rely on family for transport at the moment, so no one will take me all the way out there.

    Unanswered Can I used two bumper plates on the bar, instead of usign a mat?

    So, here's the deal, my elbows have been taking a beating from deadlifting. I don't drop the bar, but when progressing on the lift, there is impact. I ordered stall mats from Amazon, they sent me the wrong ones. I ordered stall mats from overstock and they canceled my order and said they were...

    Unanswered Deadlifting on wrestling mats?

    Good idea, or no? They're the only mats on Amazon that look like they're worth anything. Every site I go to for house stall mats want hundreds of dollars in shipping. I get free shipping on Amazon since I have Prime, but of course they don't carry horse stall mats.

    Answered Switched to narrow sumo style deadlifts and grip is giving me issues

    Well, I'm limited to lifting at home for now. I have a mid grade Titan bar and don't really have the money, or room for a high quality new bar right now. I can try straps, but I didn't want my grip strength to suffer too much. I was thinking of trying those grip glove things at Rogue Fitness...
