When I bench press or shoulder press my palms are parallel with the ceiling, where as most peoples hands face almost forward. I was on my sixth rep in the second set when my wrist snap forward, I dropped the bar on my loser chest, it bounced, I caught it and pressed it. My training partner was like "Holy shit!! Are you alright? I saw you drop that bar and there was no way I could catch it. How the hell did you catch that and press it? I have never seen anyone drop 225lbs across their chest catch it off a bounce and then rep it out?!!" I just laughed my ass off and said "I don't know man, it didn't hurt, my wrist just gave out but my strength didn't so it was no big deal pressing the weight." I can't believe that I am not hurt right now? hahahahahaha.........the great p-funk escapes again!

What the hell? Sounds like you stole that story from a Looney Tunes cartoon.

What are the new exercises you are afraid of?

Yeah Mono, it looked pretty ridiculous. Once my buddy saw that I was okay and laughing we were both laughing our asses off for a while.

Ahh see, even while cutting you are still invincible!

Just got some crazy ass cold virus.

greekblondechic · 02-23-2004, 04:49 PM

I'm scared of deads and squats..

am i supposed to go parallel or all the way down for squats?

I will probably go light on both of these until I get used to them

PreMier · 02-23-2004, 04:52 PM

Yes, you need to go parallel on squats. That means your quads should be parallel to the floor. It is alos good to go light at first. Get solid form, before upping the weight

greekblondechic · 02-23-2004, 04:55 PM

according to exrx parallel targets quads and "ass to grass" targets glutes..

i dont want bigger quads, wouldnt mind a bigger ass tho

but i think i will do them parallel for now anyway, cuz like i said not used to them yet

As P will tell you when he see's this, "squats dont count unless your ass is in the grass"

I argee "ass to the grass or it doesn't count". However, Greeky you are going to need to really work on form so getting to parallel is your first goal, once you are solid at that then ass to the grass is the way to go. But FORM IS PARAMOUNT OVER EVERYTHING!!!

be safe,
Patrick

ps, come to the city and get a training session or two.

I don't mean to be insensitive or anything but how the fuck do you drop 300lbs on your neck? I understand dropping it and breaking a rib or two but who benches to the neck?

He might have been struggling with the weight and it 'wandered' north... or he just lost it while he was going to rack it.

you don't have to be benching to your neck! he could have been struggling like mono said or he could have lost his grip and the bar could have rolled out of his fingers bouncing on his chest and then hitting his neck. I wasn't there so I don't know how but regardless it happened and it is tragic.

Yan, you haven't posted in so long and this is the best you can come up with?

Is it better to go pass parallel? Any advantages or disadvantages?

he is saying at least parallel. if you read my journal or any of my posts on squats I say that if you don't go past parallel the lift doesn't count. Deep squats are the only thing that I'll except. But I am a prick....you know that ray.
