Proper application of wrist straps...
I get asked, and see it asked quite often how one properly uses wrist straps. A fellow asked again yesterday on another site and I promised to make a video to demonstrate. This is what I came up with. I figured some of you here might find it useful:

Chris - that's very helpful!
You left out the second part though - "using your teeth to set up the other strap!"
(Yeah, right, like I'm the only one who does this!)
Seriously, thanks for this. It's a question that gets asked a lot, particularly by newbies who train alone.

Yep, you would be surprised. Like Built said, a LOT of people ask about it.

I mod a board of mostly women, and most women don't have buddies to train with like men often have. We rely heavily on the internet for training tips like this.

Pfft I wish I had a training buddy. Everytime I get one, they pussy out about a week after they start doing a beginner's workout. Always whining that they're so sore so they just quit.

No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

I actually HAVE one now, but mostly I've trained alone.
Danzik, how did you start lifting? Did you read about it on the internet and think it was a cool idea, or did you see other men lifting and figure it could do the same thing for you?

Long story but here's a brief version.
Basically I got extremely sick about 3 years ago when I weighed like 250lbs, and as a result I have a very weird condition. If I don't exercise consistently, I will literally start to be nauseous 24/7 and eventually just start vomiting. The most I can take off of lifting is 1 week without having bad effects. At two weeks I'll start to get nauseous, and at 3 weeks I'm in trouble.
No doctor I have ever gone to can tell me what it is, but it might be hereditary since my Dad has the same exact condition. He remedies it with racquetball instead of lifting though.Ron Paul 2012

Wouldn't be able to tell you. All I know is cause and effect. If I work out, I don't vomit. Win win.

No I've come close, but I've never vomited even while doing high rep squats with my 10RM.

Gotta be psychological. I have a nervous stomach and I can be nauseous for days on end. However, the moment I am busy or when I go through something intense (working out) enough to not care about things (endorphin rush) it goes away instantly. Originally Posted by danzik17

Explain how my Dad has the same exact condition then? Or how it only occurred after becoming extremely sick?
It's definitely a physical thing dude. When this first started happening I was on winter break - not exactly a stressful time.Ron Paul 2012
