So it took you 7 minutes to realise that nowhere appreciates you?

Oh well, win some, lose nearly everything....

Those bar shrugs are awesome, really incredible.

actually it didnt even take that long, because i m a sloooowwwwww poster.
i like shrugs, a friend of my brothers says that i got them the same we my brother did, cheating on curls!!!

i really only have to lift it about an inch to start. i have the bar set on the safety bars on the squat rack right about thigh level.

i will definitely have to try them, a little more help on the lats never hurt either.

front and side raises always make my left shoulder pop

good thing I'm tough!!!!!!

the other half · 03-21-2008, 07:23 AM

TGILD- thank god its leg day.

front squats
135-8
155-8
165-8
i think that i might go back to reg squats, i just seem to be having a hard time getting a good workout with these. they start sliding off the shoulders and them my form goes t.u.

v squats
324-10
374-10
414-9
i think that i will stay here till i really hit all of them solid.

tri set
leg ext./leg curl/seated calf raises
265-10/120-10/90-15
280-10/130-10/90/12
290-8/140-10/90-12
i think(key word) that i might throw an "ARCHANGEL"move in here and start holding them for a few seconds at the peak contration, and drop the rep range down alittle bit.
on the leg extension, im doing the whole stack plus asst. plates. this way i can maybe explode my quads and hams and get a little more growht.

tough doesnt even describe you, billie

the other half · 03-21-2008, 07:27 AM

billie, when we were doing the rev pec deck, my left shoulder had to pop but would, so i couldnt go back as far as my right. but once i got off the machine, and rotated it, sure enough it popped.

JailHouse · 03-21-2008, 02:14 PM

Ya I prefer back squats over front also. That tri set looks crazy intense.

Archangel · 03-21-2008, 05:24 PM

You will LOVE the hold at the top of the movement my Friend, total burn and flush!!! Good Stuff!!! Excellent w/o's too BRother Half!!!

nice #s on the squats TOH! what's the difference between squats and v-squats?

i'm gonna be doing the same with weight on my squats too. i can squat the weight i do now, but i wanna have a nice smooth squat at that weight before i thinking about upping the weight.

Scarface30 · 03-22-2008, 02:32 PM

very nice job OH

I hear you on the front squats. I've never done them, but I still think I would suck ass at them, they just seem so awkward.

Actually, i find them more natural than back squats.

I was thinking of asking this in the training forum, does your body dictate what exercises you can and can't do? I mean, for example, people with longer legs than torsos (like me) are supposed to find it very awkward to do back squats (like i do), but are there other things that might limit you? Like, if you have really long arms are you more prone to injury by doing bb bench press??

Just something that was rattling around in my brain

... oh no wait... that is my brain

goob · 03-23-2008, 07:37 AM

Awesome front squats OH. Was katt 'urging' you on to great things?

This has been discussed in the training forum before. I don't remember which thread(s), but try a search.

The gist of the discussion is that your body does help/hinder some exercises. One that I do remember is people with long arms are at a disadvantage when doing a bench press. Not that they're more likely to sustain an injury, but at a disadvantage strength-wise.

makes sense because with longer arms you'd have to be able to sustain the load longer until your reached the top of the lift. also you have a longer way to go, needing more power and strength to get there because you're in the lift for a longer period of time.

at least that's how I see it...

Ahh, that makes perfect sense to me, because im finding it extremely difficult to add weight to my Bench (im not even pressing 90lb

), but then i started thinking that maybe it's just my big monkey arms thats the problem.

Not that it bothers me only pressing 90lb, i get a great workout from that! Thanks for that, i'll have a look for that thread.

Sorry for hijacking your journal OH
