how is MY favorite fire fighter today??![]()
Thanks bud...I dont know why but I can't seem to keep my grip lately. I think the bar is just getting REALLY worn down so its getting to smooth. I can't seem to hold on anymore. Even with an alt grip. Actually starting to piss me off.Seanp156 said:Good workout DB, but straps for 255? Come on, you can easily use a mixed on that. Just feelin lazy?![]()

I am going to start doing some extra grip work on my circuit day....maybe some farmers walks or some shit like that to keep the heart rate up.
thanks bud!gwcaton said:Nice wo DB ,
Whats a Cg CBI row ? Pulldowns looking good![]()
Where I am able to deadlift there are 2....one is a smooth oly and the other is textured but so run down it feels like a smooth one.Seanp156 said:There's only one bar at your gym?![]()
Pylon said:Heya bolt, good looking lifts!
Archangel said:Good lookin w/o BRother Bolt!!!

Just allows you to put a little body english on it to move some more weight....really helps if you concentrate on the negative and the first 3/4 of the movement b/c this is where you are getting the most hypertrophy in the movement. The top is mostly momentum.boilermaker said:Nice workout there, DB. What is the word on cheat laterals vs. regular laterals. More beneficial if you concentrate on the negative part??
DeadBolt said:Where I am able to deadlift there are 2....one is a smooth oly and the other is textured but so run down it feels like a smooth one.
All the others are on the other side of the gym where the benches are but can't switch em....I would do my deadlifts there but there is only the big 45s...thin but large diameter. I deadlift with the thick ones with half the diameter (bout 8inches or so in diameter)
Isn't that a bit contradictory? do you mean, one's longer and one's shorter?No jackass not the oly 45s the 45lb platesSeanp156 said:Saying a bar is thin, but has a large diameter makes no sense to me..![]()

.I wish I could but its a pretty large gym and the owner wont let me....hes pretty strict with his shit. Its not like a big comercial gym its a mom/pop type shop.Seanp156 said:![]()
........... So, bring one of the benching bars over to where you do deadlifts and use the plates you like
.
Haha, our avatars are pretty much the same.
DeadBolt said:LMAO.....yea it was a bitch to get around up there! I was walking around with 50lb bags of corn on my shoulders all day which made it even worse! I'm payin for it today but its all good....all about the conditioning!
Thats where I do my static holds, talk about a burn!!!DeadBolt said:Just allows you to put a little body english on it to move some more weight....really helps if you concentrate on the negative and the first 3/4 of the movement b/c this is where you are getting the most hypertrophy in the movement.

Great to change it up....actually some of the biggest pros with the most impressive delts...ie cutler...use this method or even a more severe one of only going to about 45degress in their arms and using redioculous weights. There have been studies that have shown side laterals get most of the work from the first 45 degrees after that its minimal. But hey to each is own.
That brings up the question of failure. I always interpreted failure on these as not being able to make it to arms parallel to the floor. So do you go until arms cant make it to 45? Never seen anyone do this, but it would make sense to me.Pylon said:That makes me feel better about my ROM issues on lat raises. If this is the case, I'll keep the extra weight and struggle through it.
Na hes a strange guy...that much steroids really starts to mess with your brain lol.Triple Threat said:Is it possible to explain the situation to the owner? Perhaps if you promise to put the good bar back in the benching area when you're done he'd cut you some slack.
I am ordering one already ha beat ya to that shit! But I'll use mine to go hiking up in the moutains to really kick my ass!CowPimp said:That's badass. I think I'm going to start wearing a weighted vest when I do my conditioning workouts. Damn you DB, stop giving me ideas to torture myself. You know I'll use them. Heh.
Yea holding on to something is awsome! Great for thenegatives....cheat the weight up and really slug it down...awsome!Archangel said:Thats where I do my static holds, talk about a burn!!!
I have also tried doing them 1 arm at a time, holding onto something solid with the other hand, can really put some weight up with that technique!!!
How goes it today my Friend???
Mix it up bud....variation is the key to body building one thing doesn't work the best its the combination of them all that give you the best results.....check the ego at the door!Pylon said:That makes me feel better about my ROM issues on lat raises.
