 muscles weigh more than fat, so if your lifts keep improving and your weight stays the same thats a good sign of fat burning. | ||

Yep. If the weight on the bar goes up, you're getting stronger. If the weight stays the same, you HAVE to have more muscle and less fat. Keep going champ :") | ||

Deadlifting has been comparitively easy on my back because the barbell keeps sliding lower. Also, can anyone recommend a cheap pair of weightlifting shoes? | ||

How would you guys recommend doing the hypers? Bend back and then straighten it, or like try to heave the chest up as far as possible? Machine or just bench+dumbell? Would REALLy appreciate a fast response, hitting gym first thing in the morning | ||

And fuck Hypers, I have more fun cleaning my toilet than doing Hypers, so no advice from me there. | ||

There's generally machines for the back extensions and reverse hypers that you can use. Just plug in the name to youtube and you should be able ot see various ways of doing them | ||

I'm talking about reverse hypers, btw. | ||

Just hold a weight plate or dumbbell behind your head if you can do like 5x10 and work up from there. | ||

Reverse hypers are a pretty good rehab movement IMO, and build some good back strength. You don't have to use them though, depending on what kind of assistance work you want to target | ||

If this is better suited in the injuries thread then let me know and I'll make the full post, but I figured this was pretty minor and specific. Eshlow recently addressed this in his AMA on reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/o5nn7/i_am_steven_low_author_of_overcoming_gravity_ask/c3esbg4 Be sure to follow ehlows link in his answer. I had the same problem with my wrists at the start. It almost got really bad so i cut one hold out of my programm an i just became strong enough to do dips so I did those instead of pushups. I feel dips are way easyer on the wrists. Nowadays my wrists only hurt with very high volume. | ||
