TGR's Modified PowerBuilding v2.0

I have been seeing a lot of sumo pulling in tights. Or leggings, whatever you call it. I'd wear shorts over them tho if you go that route.
 
Sorry reg I forgot to respond. Truthfully, i just rake the fuk out of my quads. I don't always get it bad though, I still haven't figured out why some days i do it and some days i dont. Could be technical, could just be bc I didn't cut my nails. Dunno. There's really no specific way (that i know of) to mitigate that issue other than im sure the leggings route would work, but that aint happening for me.

I will never, ever, wear leggings. It's by far the gayest male trend I've ever seen. While they are called leggings they are by definition: yoga pants. And yoga pants are for girls.

Maybe I do need to trim my nails.

Food sensitivities is very real. Gluten is a scape goat however. But glaiden can cause the opening of tight junctions in the digestive tract leading to leaky gut like symptoms and further digestive issues etc. glaiden comes from gluten btw. But this effect varies from person to persona and is does and time exposure dependent.

I mistakenly had food "allergies" (IGE tests) bloodwork instead of food "sensitivities" bloodwork. Anyone know about these?

Hey you push enough gear thru a woman and she'll turn back into a man, more or less

I do know some very strong people that wear leggings, but typically they use them in combination with at least gym shorts if not also as slippers for Rehband warm pants or briefs/suit bottoms. They're basically long underwear so idk how people just walk around with their nuts out - that's where it gets weird for me.

It's weird to me too. All I'm saying is I won't do it, ever, and it reminds me of yoga pants. Which they are.

I liked them except the awkwardness of bending down to hook up the chain. There's probably a better way I haven't figured out yet

If you start with the plates resting on a 12-24" block its a little easier to get into position. Then just angle off to the side to do the squats. Thats the best thing ive found so far.

Yes, you want an igg test done. Life extension offers a food safe allergy test that captures this and no dr needed.

V-bar press-downs x10, 20, 20

Notes:

So, I had to move to a narrow grip bench to relieve lower bicep Tendonitis but now to a wide grip to relieve upper BT.

What feels the best is if I flare out on the descent and focus hard on bending the bar on the press. This will probably take some time getting used to. I'm pinky on to just outside ring. Usually my "wide bench" had my pinky just inside ring.
 
Did you get a chance to check out the FB page called Functional Fitness Garage Sale?
 
No gym today, at least not yet. Wife said she wanted to go with me and when I get back I can start on X, X, X, and X. This is on top of running electric to the back shed to add a pump. Soooo, no time for gym. Grr

Awesome workout.

1 hour total time including mobility.

Does anyone bench as wide as a pointer on ring? The wider my grip the better my bicep Tendon feels.

I tried a floor press but the bar sits on my chest instead of the plates on floor. Are these supposed to be done on pins/boards?
 
Nice session Beastman!
 
I'm sure some people bench that way. Not sure that the shoulders would like it long term. With light loads it might be okay.

For floor press I use a pinky on rings grip and my triceps hit before the bar hits my chest. A wider grip might change that. Plates aren't supposed to touch the floor, at least to my knowledge.

My shoulders really felt better with them. T-Nation article (Invalid Link Removed) suggests it may be better for shoulders with wide, but you have to use more pec. I guess it can be a temporary bench until my Tendon is better. I'm def stronger closer grip.

So on floor press, you're using pins or a low j-hook placement?
 
On floor press you should just go down until your elbows/tris hit the ground. Im honestly confused as to how you got so low where the plates were hitting the ground. You use a low j hook and unrack like a normal bench

This. I was like WTH when you said you touched your chest - I have long arms and don't bench wider than pinky on rings so I suppose ultrawide like that with regular arms might get you there. BUT the limiting measure for ROM on floor press is typically when the triceps have contacted and you let the weight pause at least enough not to bounce it.

Well, it's called a floor press. Soooo I set the damn plates on the floor and tried to roll the bar over me into position. lol

Never done them - and wanted to.
 
I tried to make band pegs for the front of my platform but having only two holes with 1" screws isn't going to work. It would need to go deeper in wood, which I don't have and can't afford in height, or into the concrete. Maybe I'll do that, dunno. I wanted a band option outside the rack though.

It isn't going to work because the slightest tug puts too much on the wood. It would rip it right out.

Could get these and pull inside your rack. They also make pegs that slide under (on the outside of your platform) the side of the platform that you could look into

My rack will have pegs inside. I was wanting some outside as well in case I was lazy.
 
I bench with middles on the rings at times when my arm says FU and it works pretty good. Not as explosive as pinky on rings, but not a huge drop off either. It's all relative to the lifter ya IMO

Indeed. If no one else benches comfortably the way I can, why can't I be the first?

I don't have room under the plywood unless it's flat. I've seen nuts that have pointy things that lock into wood to be flush, do they make those in bolts as well?
