A similar thing happened when I started taking pull-ups seriously. I think a bit of mass definitely doesn't hurt in OHP. | ||

Perfect technique was created to lift the most weight possible, so why would you try to lift more weight with less than perfect technique? I mostly use this in reference to the olympic lifts, but yeah pretty much any lift benefits greatly from perfect technique. Obviously it's not practical for most people to refine technique until perfection with a broomstick unless you're like 7 years old, but you get the point. | ||

As far as I can tell that is not true for powerlifting though, isn't it? Where you get told to not do the technique of record breaking lifters (like wide stance squat / DL, overextended back during bench). | ||

Also zatic the ultra wide stance squats you may have seen is likely geared lifters and that squat in my opinion is a completely different movement using almost exclusively your posterior chain. Thats reflected in they're training too, the guys at westside bb seem to only do box squats. | ||

Where you get told to not do the technique of record breaking lifters (like wide stance squat / DL, overextended back during bench). As mentioned, world record lifts in powerlifting use great technique, but you shouldn't try to emulate them (at least directly) for a couple reasons. 1. That technique has a whole bunch of strength and body awareness requirements that someone who is not world-class isn't going to have, and when a piece comes out of place it's going to mean injury 2. That technique is refined specifically for the body mechanics of the individual using it, over years and years of practice, and no two bodies are the same 3. That technique may or may not relate to squat suits and similar equipment, if the record in question is a geared lift instead of a raw one, and if you're posting here, you're not a geared lifter. I'm up for a november progress pics thread, even though it seems a little weird to make it in a new thread in the open sports forum. Maybe put a [TLHF] tag on it? | ||

I'm starting to see my abs and my back is just so fucking strong. I wanna try 270kg DL on the meet for my 3rd (at least 265, depends on scores and what not) However last week I fucked up my right quad pretty badly, could not squat above 100kg without pain but it feels a ton better now. Heat+tissue massage+deadlifts+fish oil + anything hopefully I can at least mantain my strength and learn to use squat+wraps. Shoulder is also almost good, but can't bench 100% yet. Today: RDL: 180kgx3x9 BB Rows: 70kgx8x3 Pull Ups BW x10 x8 x6 BB Curls, BB Finger Curls (reason my grip didn't die after months of DL/Shrugs with straps) | ||

Current Big lift numbers for us Me. Bench 165x12(Est 1RM 225-230) OHP 95 x 12 Squat 205X12(Could probably do 215x12) Roommate 1 Bench 185x11(Est 1RM 245) OHP 95 x 12 Squat 205X12(Could probably do 225x12) Roommate 2 Bench 225x12(Est 1RM 305) OHP 115 x 12 Squat 205X12(Could probably do 215x12) Anyhow I really prefer working out with them as opposed to alone, but not really sure of a good routine to run for all of us. | ||

Pretty sure trying to run DC with 3 people working out together is just going to result in 3 hour gym times where not a lot gets done though, isn't it? Unless they were all to split up and do different lifts, but then you're defeating the point of going to the gym in a group... | ||

If everyone waits for everyone else to warm up and do each superset and takes awhile inbetween working in, then yes, it's going to take a long fucking time. Not sure what you mean by "not a lot gets done." The guy asked for a different kind of workout from the starting strength-type plan he was doing and even though he's on the noob-ier side of intermediate, his friends at least appear to be strong enough to gain some benefit from doing DC. Yes, I am biased. | ||
