I got an Idea we can make it give the finger Friday?

LOL, my buddies and I have a chat on Whatsapp, and every Friday we have F---- You Friday and post pics flipping off the camera. Seems juvenile, but everyone seems to like it. And it's not surprising that most of the pics happen during the AM visit to the throne.

No more deadlifts, bench presses and squats for months, all is about looking good naked.
I found that bicycle (at high levels) is good for legs, chin ups and push ups make the arms thick -cables give me a good chest -and inverted rows, bent over rows for back.
No powerlifting here. For comparison: FireTitan does hammer curls with 100lbs DB's. I merely use 30lbs DB's but do them inclined TUT 3.1.1.
My bet: same effect on hypertrophy, -but leaving me strength wise on puzzy level.
If I ever have to carry my wife in my arms I may face plant, lol! Regressed back to my own intuitive training method, as it yields obvious results, screw HST, ha!


Just physique goals here, hehe! One day I'll look like you -but hit like a girl, lol!

Amen brother! I need to follow this same idea and stop punishing myself with heavier weights than I should be. As long as I look good, that's the most important thing. H3ll, I'm 53 years old! My body can only take so much abuse

I have still the "urge" to go heavy on some exercises like chin ups and rowing. Somehow I feel confident that I can do them without injuring myself.
70% of my training is geared towards fatigue using moderate weights to failure with rp sets.
Could be that the results from that are in great part AAS related. Anyway, it works great, that's what counts!

Just pointing out the "I'm old so I can't lift heavy" crowd. Is that belief actually helping you guys? Is it getting you closer to your goals? I know 20 year olds who have gotten hurt lifting heavy and there are 88 year olds on YouTube doing 10-20 pull ups.

And hairygrandpa then says he still lifts heavy on SOME exercises because of confidence. That says it all.

actually, never mind. You guys are still stronger than me and still lift heavier. So what do I know?

I have the gut feeling that pulling exercises, like rowing and chin ups, are less likely to cause injury. Can anyone confirm -or deny this? Is there a study about it?
I could probably live without weighted pull -chin ups but I bought the belt recently, the shiny, precious belt, damn. :)
 
I am kind of curious about that as well. After awhile of adding weighted pull-ups, regardless of what kind, I end getting a grinding, popping thing going on in my shoulders. I wonder if it is even worthwhile to add weight or figure out other ways to make BW pull-ups more effective

I love my shiny pull up belt. So much better than when I used ropes.

You mean pulling exercises like deadlifts?

I would agree that, to a degree, pushing exercises can cause injuries more often. ..but it isn't the nature of the push or pull itself. It is the ability to use momentum.

What we often forget is that if we throw a ball in the air, it decelerates as gravity acts in it, eventually reaches a velocity of 0, and then accelerates back to earth.

When we throw a weight, this same thing happens. Even the slightest momentum will cause the weight to come down with enormous force at some point. We don't consciously recognize it, but essentially we are throwing weight away from us, and then catching it as it falls out of the "sky". This puts enormous impact and sudden force on muscles and joints.

A bench press is a great example of this possibility.

Most pulling exercises actually won't put as much strain in the muscle as it falls because you dont have to "catch" it. For instance, if you use momentum in a bent over row, when it starts to fall ...you don't have to catch it, you just let it fall. With a bench, you can't do that.

Holding on top 3 seconds comes to my masochistic mind, did them with rest pause sets in the past. Maybe next would be one armed pull ups... hehehe!

What if you control your back movements throughout? I don't perform my rows with momentum because my lower back won't allow it. Slow and controlled on dat negative or I will be laid up for months

I never got an injury pulling. Tore my bicept dead lifting the weight was pulling on my arms does that count?

I don't think you can injure yourself ever if you are using a weight you can control and in good form. All a muscle does is contract so as long as there are no torquing type forces, impacts, etc. Injurybrisk is pretty low.

And I think the negative should be controlled in every exercise. You should be able to, at any point in the movement, stop and hold the weight. If you can't, then you are using momentum because you have three types of strength - concentric, holding and eccentric. The concentric is the weakest of these three strengths, so if you can't hold the weight still ...then you can't get a concentric contraction without cheating.

Now, if you are training for sports or to lift the most weight in a meet, you need to train for that and that will mean higher risk, explosive training.

Having said all that...you are doing it totally correctly. Which you figured out as a way to reduce injury. My point was exactly that though....IF you are going to use improper form and too heavy a weight and not have control...you are going to see the mist injuries in pushing movements.

The reality is, none of us use perfect form 100% of the time. Practice will make it easier to use good form, but many of us start off too heavy and bad habits become neurologically imprinted and we don't even realize it until someone who knows what is up sees us and points it out ...then we go. "What? I Don't do that, do I?"

When we get injured it is usually a break down in form, and that is often caused by ego. And a lot of times we don't realize there is an injury until a while later when we go to use the muscle and that is when we think it got injured...often it was injured before it started acting up.

That belt gets such great reviews. I asked for one for my bday and didn't want to ask for my gf to spend the extra so I just went with the harbinger belt and I am happy with it. Of course I am not doing chins with 100+ pounds on it either.

Agree that it's pricey. You also have to buy the chain and carabiners to complete the setup but, it's something you can pass down to your kids and grandkids. Lol

I have the cheap Harbinger belt, and it works fine with 135lbs on a regular basis.

I think pulling exercises, excepting deadlift, deconpress the joints which massively reduces the likelihood of injury.

I gave up OTC supplements, tried it all to no avail. TB-500 helped after 3 weeks but I used it all up. Have a new order on it's way, will take it longer to see if knees improve further. Have also CJC1295 With DAC coming. Sources cite that it's the best for overall healing due to his long half life. I'm full into the "dark stuff". Will keep posting what I find out.

I had my doc make me an appointment with an ortho, only problem is the appointment won't be until January...good thing the VA is on top of things, lol.

To be honest, I don't know why there are so many Chuck Norris jokes. The guy isn't even very smart.

Did you know that Chuck Norris REFUSES to believe in modern chemistry and does not even believe in there periodic table?


Yeah, the only element he will acknowledge is the element of surprise .
 
Speaking of which. I hope HGP isn't about to use the element if surprise with that friggin towel.
 
He's got that look in his eyes, doesn't he. Here comes the Full Monty
