Thanks guys, I think some of my lifts are good for my weight..
Damn straight!That's the way to kill it G8...
Haha, I'd look like a tool if I went to the gym like that lol.. Oh wait, im the guy that holds an 80lb DB between his calfs to do dips, guess I am a tool :bigok:Dipping belt? I just put a chain through a normal belt
My max might be 100lb or more if we are talking 1 good rep.. In the past month I have gone from 45lbx6 now to 80lbx6.. Im hoping to get to 90x6 within a few weeks..^ total tool :crazy:

Oh I know that feeling bro.. Its terrible...Damn, i'm jealous of you guys. If I put anymore than 25lbs on there my shoulder starts screaming at me.
Maybe I'll find new form 2maro and I'll magically be fine. It happened on monday with bench, so the mer fact im sub'd to this log should give me good karma for dips 2maro, right?
I get that feeling quite a bit.My chest just stopped hurting from dip day last week lol Felt like my sternum shattered
Never have, should I?Gamer, you ever try starting chest routine with incline work first?
I think it's worth a shot. I never used to, then once I met the guy who has helped me with the show and my diet/training now he advised me to. A lot of people have lagging upper pecs, I dont. If anything my lower is because once baseball seaosn starts I try and do at least 1 exercise and it's alwas incline.Never have, should I?
DW...try dipping with your knees out in front of you. It will feel strange at first but it really forces you to stay upright and helps with the shoulder pain. The minute I start rolling forward my shoulders rage.Damn, i'm jealous of you guys. If I put anymore than 25lbs on there my shoulder starts screaming at me.

ok, so like im kinda doing a leg raise?DW...try dipping with your knees out in front of you. It will feel strange at first but it really forces you to stay upright and helps with the shoulder pain. The minute I start rolling forward my shoulders rage.
But I thought it was the rolling forward that makes a good dip with your knees behind you? That's how it get's your chest too as it puts you on a bit of a decline.DW...try dipping with your knees out in front of you.

Yea i see how this can be a catch 22. I know they are great for lower pec development when done like you are describing. I'm looking at it more for tricep work so it's all good for me homieBut I thought it was the rolling forward that makes a good dip with your knees behind you? That's how it get's your chest too as it puts you on a bit of a decline.
Dude....I've been to cool for lower pecs for like 4 years now. Haven't you seen my pictures? lolOhhhh all of the sudden you're too cool for the lower pecs.. I see how it is
lol
My upper pec doesn't lag that much really. I bet I could press 95lb-105lb DBs for reps if I did incline DB press as my first chest exercise. I'd really like to bring my flat bench to the 300s before I start doing upper chest work first.I think it's worth a shot.

Plus you look like a bad ass when you have friends that boast about a 315 flat bench and then you go over and incline 315 for a set of 4, lol. Little do they know I more than likely couldnt have pressed that 315 for 1 on flat :lol:

Haha, guess it takes time, but I have been stuck for a couple months.. Sqaut, flat bench and military press take so long to increase so little.. Most my other lifts jump all the time.Yea benching more than you squat.....gamer we gotta work on that my friend or else idk if I can be seen in your logs :ntome:
I kid, I kid. Takes time man, everyone has something they dominate with and something that's weak. Foucus on that form and go deep, so even if you"re not mivng a lot of weight, you'll at least have some nice wheels.
Maybe you should look into DC. It's helped a handful of people, that I know not to mention what you read on the internet, that it has really helped break through pleatues.Haha, guess it takes time, but I have been stuck for a couple months..

I may try that!Maybe you should look into DC. It's helped a handful of people, that I know not to mention what you read on the internet, that it has really helped break through pleatues.
I just get into a seated position. I did strictly body weight reps until the form got comfortable.ok, so like im kinda doing a leg raise?
This does bring the chest into the movement and sort of skews the numbers for the triceps. I like to totally isolate the triceps.:veryhappy:But I thought it was the rolling forward that makes a good dip with your knees behind you?

I went with the Hammer seated Dip machine 2day, kinda to get back into the swing of things and that way i can focus on what you were talking about. I think it went well. I loaded it up with a little more than my bodyweight and got 21RP reps. Thanks for the advice!I just get into a seated position. I did strictly body weight reps until the form got comfortable.
Lol. I'm sure I wasn't the 1stGood Night AM:bigok:
Love ya Ed.
Well thanks, besides the squats of course, but im not gonna give up. I think I know why I was able to squat more a while ago; I had been squating with vibrams finger shoes, which are amazing for squats. Now I wear super padded underarmor shoes because I lost my vibrams. Anyways, im off to do a shoulder workout!Great numbers on the leg workout

Bump for views on a great log!
Nevermind, im not smart enough to figure out dumb bell rows make more sense hahaEver try single handed T-rows with the bar?
Just wondering, i haven't. It is back day and gym time in an hour though

agreed. i use one leg squats in the end of my cutting cycles but only then. i dont think these are useful excercises in terms of mass and size... and i would tip over with that t-bar idea.I would feel so off balanced lol? Never tried it. But, just like 1 legged squats, I dont think it would contribute to back size or strength..
