I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

And your complaining about the weights you lift why????



Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Oh, I wasn't complaining. I'm very happy where I am. I was just congratulating you for lifting so much. You still lift more than i do

rock, on those rack deadlifts what kind of grip are you using? The only reason I ask is because I am a bit concerned about your scoliosis and your grip can have an affect on the way the muscles of your thoracic spine pull.

One hand up, one hand down. Shoulder width grip and I use straps. What do you recommend?

make sure that on each set you alternate the hand up and hand down. If you always do it one way (with the same hand up and the same hand down) you will build the muscles in the thoracic spine on the side of the hand down (because it is always pulling in internal rotation). This will cause an imbalance and may not be very good for your scoliosis.

if alternating bothers you because of your back I would say go with two hand down grip. I think that it would be okay for you to use straps in this instense if you can't hold the weight.

I just started switching grips a few weeks ago after reading another post by P-funk, Damn it is weird to begin with, but makes alot of sense once you do it, you will understand.

When I am doing squats or Deadlifts, or any compound movement for that matter, I have been trying to keep midsection and back tight.

I have noticed this has helped alot during my squats esp. w/balance.

great job with the squats rock. If you are really nervous about loading up your spine like that I suggest doing 20rep sets.......the weight is signifigantly lighter, the pump is amazing ad I swear it makes my legs grow like crazy.

*nice work*

Cool P-funk, maybe I'll try that! It's probably a good idea, for now the 8 reps was enough and wore me out since I haven't done them for such a long time!
