Dude that is genius! I have to try them. However I had been making great progress with my squats and deads when I tore a hamstring. I swear my legs hate me. After two months I can finally work on my legs again. Did some deads today that felt pretty good. I will get my squats nice into the 400s...
Board presses are used by guys who lift with shirts. The shirt does the work for them at the bottom so they need most of their strength from mid to lock out. I can't stand equipt lifts. I never understood why people care what can be lifted with something helping them. Why not just get in a...
Wow! Props pn that cut! I raced bikes last year, hence the screen name, and I cut down to 175. It was hard on my body and my strength went to ****. It came right back and then some when I gained the weight back this year though. If you train hard while gaining weight you will see what I mean...
Not bad at all! You definitely need to get that weight up for your height. The taller you are the bigger you need to be to take advantage of each lift. One of the easiest ways to cheat on bench is to have a big stomach. Unfortunately I have a 6 pack year round and I have a very long travel in my...
Lmao! That's takin it a little far but if someone challanged me in a shrug off I would definitely do it! I'm a sucker for a challange.
Still my favorite is bench, then dead, then squat, then curl, then everything else.
I'll be honest though, I am very surpried most of you didn't know about...
I agree 100% that curls are the least of all functional strength tests but I don't care if it's finger curls, it's nice to be stronger then others in as many things as possible.
Now if I could borrow someones right hamstring I would love to get back to work on my squats and deads.
Strict curl is at almost every meet I go to. Not many people train heavy with curl. It usually just a vanity muscle so you tend to see huge guys that can't curl jack. Try it one time. Put you back on the wall and make sure you ass and shoulders stay planted on the wall. It's a lot harder then...
Awesome #s for your weight and your age! I don't know where I'd be right now if I could lift that weight at your age. I can't squat or dead that at MY age!
Finally over benched over 400!!! This cycle has worked wonders! This is my second cycle and between the two I have made crazy gains this year! Next week I plan on taking video of my 405 bench. I currently weigh 205lbs so it will be easy to make weight for my next meet.
Don't let it get you down. Bench is by far most peoples hardest lift. I trained nothing but bench and curl since I was a kid. It was the only lifts I thought were cool back then. Hahaha! Now I know better and I am struggling to get my deads and squats to a respectable level.
I have only been to...
