Hi AJ
Yea I am hoping it was the extra day rest and not the garbage I ate... I would hate to start bulking like Mudge (corndogs, doughnuts, soda) I am hoping the shoulder is healed... Will start BB military in a week or 2.

Looking good buddy! Keep up the hard work. Are you using any particular tempo with your lifts?

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...

PreMier

Hey rock, good to see ya buddy. I dont really use a tempo, other than taking it down slowly(controlled) and then going up. I dont blast the weight up, I just lift it. I would say on BP it is probably like 2/3-0-2/3.

bro-

don't listen to all the "strap haters......

since i've been using straps, my lats, back thickness, and traps have increased TREMENDOUSLY by being able to handle weights i wouldnt normally be able to hold on to (chins, rows, deadlifts, shrugs etc.).
my forearms are naturally big, so that helps.....

but honestly, ask yourself......
do you want big forearms? or a big back, lats and traps?

i think you and i both kn0ow the answer to that one.....

You're a funny guy, Sully, I like you. Dat's why I'm going to kill you lahst.

Gotta start somewhere man!! I stopped using my belt yesterday and the only way to get your wrists/grip strong enough is to stop using them. Just work with a weight you can handle they'll build up fairly quick!!
Thanks!!

plus i've found that a few sets of forearm curls at the end of arm and back day is sufficient to keep the forearms decent.....

you know another secret i have............
it may sound stupid, but those little black grip things where you just squeeze it, then relax. do 'em driving, watching tv or whenver, and guarenteed your forearms will grow and get stronger as well........

I use versa-grips. THey are great! I got mine @ Galyions (sp)
takes like 2 sec to 'latch' on to your weight (dumb bells included) and rip!
check them out! I dom't ever use normal straps any longer

Yea, I have some prototype straps my gym gave me and they have this hook on them with rubber on the inside for grip. They then velcro around your wrist and it supports the weight, but I dont like em. I like the plain jane 6$ wraps.
My forearms are pretty good sized... I just cant hold much over 225Lbs. It just starts to wear me down. I also have some of those grip/spring things. Infact their sitting right here at my work desk, but I havent used them forever lol.

Sorry to disagree with you flex but don't you want an overall look instead of lacking in certain areas and looking disapportionate. I'm in no means able to compete competitivly or look even close to being big but if PM's forearms/wrists aren't naturally blessed like yours he is probably better off getting them in line with the rest of his body.
Well thanks for listening to my $0.02.
Thanks again!!

Your forearms are bigger than my biceps!

I'm afraid to measure my forearms and compare...but hey, I like my skinny wrists

PreMier

Ok.. Just measured and I lied. They are 13 1/4

Thanks for droppin by GBC

Do you "flex" when you measure them, I wanna do mine, for kicks

I'm Trying

Yeah not bad but they can be big doesn't mean they are strong as they are big. For example Jen. I'm bigger then her (I'm guessing arm/leg diameter) but she can throw up more weight then me in 90% of her workout compared to mine but you need to build up the strength to be able not to use the wraps as a crush. I believe all you need to workout are a good pair of shoes, comfortable clothes and gloves (I use to believe a belt but changed my mind with help from everyone).
