Nice OH squats! I cant do them cuz I'm afraid to drop the damn bar lol...

Pylon · 10-30-2007, 07:33 AM

Great volume, DOMS. Love OH squats. They are also a great WU move, since they work so much at once. 2 or 3 light sets at the beginning and I'm ready to go!

vortrit · 10-30-2007, 10:28 AM

Yeah, as the two previous have stated - great overhead squats!

Delusional · 10-30-2007, 10:35 AM

nice looking workout doms ! good job

maybe its the shaking titties in your avatar that attracts me to your journals, but you're doing a hell of a job. I've never heard of the WBM, but you're doing some interesting exercises to go along with some interesting groupings.

Like everybody else said, the OH squats are real nice.

Awesome squatting DOMS. I tried overhead squats with measly 20 lb DB's and failed miserably, so kudos, good effort.

Do you have a dip machine at home to be able to do assisted dips? Or have you enslaved a Mexican and made them do push ups while you stand on them?

nice workout. overhead squats are always fun.

Thanks, man!

I'm be way more okay with pitching 85 pounds doing OH Squat than pitching 240 doing Back Squats.

Have you done them before?

I like any variation of Squats. I like the OH in particular because you can't really cheat it. Well, except for one going deep enough, that is. But I always try to go ATG.

Maybe it's all in my head, but I swear that I can already see a difference in my shoulder, chest, and legs.

It's a German word. It actually means "to ignore someone elses right of way." Something like that.

The Waterbury Method is one of the (many) workouts created by Chad Waterbury. This is simply the one that seemed to meat my goal (hypertrophy) and looked interesting. Plus, I've never done 10x3, either. So I thought that I really benefit from it.

Thanks! Like I've said previously, I really like the Back Squat and all of its variants. I'm really looking forward to trying the Lumberjack Squat.

Thanks, goob. You should have seen me the first time I did BB OH Squats. I did an empty bar, could barely go down (even though I go ATG on Back Squats), and almost fell over.

I have a could of adjustable metal sawhorses that I use. I get the assistance by putting a chair behind me and placing my right foot on it. I use as little help from my leg as possible.

So very, very ghetto...

Yes...yes they are! Doing my PR of 105 was tough! A very underrated exercise, if you ask me!

It's a lot of fun!

I tried them once with just the bar and it didn't feel right, I was losing the bar every time. Those lumber jack squats look a awesome idea!

Those lumberjack squats look really interesting.......

Gazhole · 11-01-2007, 02:21 PM

Lol DOMS - i did exactly the same thing first time i OH Squatted too

Squatting is great, though. Let me know how those Lumberjacks work out, they look pretty fun. Is the other end of the bar just free, or is it weighted/hinged?

You should keep doing them. They take some getting use to, but I think that they have some good benefits (especially for the hips).
