Most of them seem to have been involved with an olympic team at some point so they seem okay  . | ||

Snatch- 5 singles @ 110kg (no misses, one super bad though left arm totally unlocked and i just used strength) CJ- 5 sets of 3 @ 110kg and 1x3 @ 120kg. Beast mode decaf is getting in shape ASAP Bench- 3x5 @ 80kg Will probably start going up by 5 lbs each day instead of 10 soon. Should be at 3x5 @ 100kg in a couple weeks. The tiniest of remnants of my abs are reappearing. Feeling better running around at practice. Going to men's rugby practice tomorrow to see if the coach thinks i'm good enough to play for them for part of a game on saturday. Fuck that shit i'm about to go tear shit up there's no reason i shouldn't be starting and playing the full 80 minutes. BEAST MODE. I feel awesome not drinking for 4 days and eating decent (eggs chicken sausage rice oatmeal milk) and getting out in the sun.

Not sure how the powerball would help if it only goes to 40lbs of force? Even the new lifters among us are lifting near 300lbs. Sure, powerball might help endurance, but would it do anything for your 5rm? That said, I'm still double overhanding my DL's at 140kg, but that's because I'm a baller. I'll probably switch to hook grip soon, get on my level. Probably going to do a warrior dash in a month... my school's offering a huge discount and free transportation, so it should be fun to round up a few friends. Only problem is that it's the day after "mayfest" our huge spring celebration where they cancel classes, topped off by a 15,000 seat concert in the carrier dome... Gonna have to channel my inner decaf for this one. You can refer to yourself on baller status when you start deadlifting more than 2xbw ^_^ Warrior dash sounds fun but brutal after all day festivities...good luck :D Also i see syracuse isn't coming to nash bash rugby next weekend. that's too bad | ||

I think it's completely dependent on skill at using it and forearm strength (and shoulder etc if you want to bring that into it). I'm sure you're right it's probably not the best for strength and for training for deadlifts. Definitely works for size though and getting that muscle on the outside of your elbow big. | ||

Says right on the link you posted that it generates 1-40lbs of inertia, depending on the settings. I'm sure it's good for size - and endurance, like you would need for playing guitar. Also it's nice to have a big brachioradialis - which is probably the muscle you're talking about? very "showy" muscle I guess.

I've pulled 1.75x BW, but that was 30 pounds ago. I'll pull 200kg soon enough. For now, I'm going HAM on my squats. Our A side is going to Cherry Blossom (maryland/washington DC), Philly cup (in philly, duh) and Beast of the East in Rhode Island. B side is playing a bunch of local tournaments, and also going to philly cup. Nashville is just damn FAR to go for us, hell I couldn't afford the gas to go that far right now, let alone hotels and entertainment. | ||

I've hit like 95% of 150/130..literally had both above head standing up and lost them T_T. soon. Nashville isn't close to anyone that goes, especially us, its a very geographically diverse tourney. There's even a team from NY there (the NY bazooka cocks rofl). well i'll be on the east coast this summer for sevens...you might be able to play some sevens being a skinny forward. | ||

On March 22 2012 07:14 Hurricane wrote: Farmers Walks helped me with grip a bit. Also rack pulls from just below lockout (you can do use an absurd amount of weight this way, so be careful. I used ~200kg). Just pick it up and hold it for a while =] To clarify, anything you do where you hold some heavy shit for a while should work, I'm just suggesting what worked for me. The simpler the better imo. The rack pull seems like the best option because it is just the top 2inches of a deadlift and then you just hold on to it but lets you overload what you would normally do. Don't have a rack to it in  So I'll just do long holds.Been working out with my brother, so far he is liking it. But it's really hard for me to tell him what to do, he doesn't have the strength to do a full squat or the flexibility, nor the strength to do a push-up. Oh well, made him do a bunch of body weight squats every day and stretch until he can do something of a parallel squat. | ||

Deadlifts 1X5 315 (143 kg) PR Squats 1X5 255 (116 kg) PR OHP 1X5 120 (54.5 kg) PR Current bodyweight: 160 lbs (73 kg) On Wednesdays since my girlfriend goes to a night class we go to a different 24 hour gym, and it is massive. The free weight section is probably the size of my other gym I go to. But they decide to have only 1 power rack for the public (1 in the special trainers only zone) and 3 smith machines >_>'. Seen some guy doing bicep curls on the smith machine, it was one of those smith machines with the extra degree of freedom, aka, it can up and down and back and forth but not side to side. I lol'd. Same guy says hi to me that tried to correct my rows last Wednesday. Gives me a side high five like were bros lol. Tries to help me with my deadlifts, now I remember why I don't give people advice. Cause its just annoying on the receiving end most of the time. Id rather go over it with a friend I know is reliable. However, I made him show me before explaining and his form was good so I listened to his tips, except for the controlled movement downward fuck that. Fuck yeah almost 2XBW deadlifts for 5 reps. | ||

 I've got this older guy who looks like he tans and is trying to be bodybuilder, seems like an ok guy but I think he liked the gym less crowded in the morning before me and two buddies started coming. Yesterday he used the power rack for seated overhead press. Kept adjusting the seat so he could get it off the rack but not hit it on the way up... I mean why not just stand up? Then proceeds to try it in the smith machine O.o | ||

What else can I do on top of presses and bench that doesn't involve my legs? I have added weighted chin ups and dips, but at some point it seems I just overload my upper body and don't really get results on the later exercises due to exhaustion. I tried some machine for glutes and back (judging from youtube videos I was doing reverse hyper extension?) to get at least some back work in my day, but I maxed out on the weights the first go | ||

Just started running a week ago after not running (outside of gym warmups... which is nothing anyways) for a year and a half or so. Was painful to start Still debating what I want to do with my gym workouts. I know I can keep going with SS for a little bit, but I would like to switch things up, plus extensive running would keep me from getting awesome gains anyways. We'll see... | ||

I've seen the same kids come into the gym and do bicep curls to failure with the bar and sit ups...i shit you not...on the squat rack with their legs around the bar. They've been doing this for like over a year with no progress. | ||
