But I stopped doing deadlift since I couldn't find any chalk around here, I did 90kg barehanded and it felt great! tomorrow Imma try with 95-100 :D babysteps bro! You don't want to build an imbalance. Take it from someone who suffered a 6 month lower back injury. I know decaf would laugh at this while he Deadlifts my max with 1 hand. But I always use straps and a belt on my work set. | ||

So i don't know how much that will scare off the boys :-p @brootogy all i've been doing in terms of working out is heavy squatting, deadlifting, benching, rows, pull ups, overhead press, and recently olympic lifting. And i have a very aesthetically pleasing body (according to female companions and envious friends). Form often follows funtion. Sure it's won't give you the volume or "peaks" that bodybuilding does, but i'll be damned if it doesnt leave you with a good body. Also refer to rosa's point. @koagel...big anatomy words scare me Also, here's a vid of one of my snatches today. Not my best, i really need to work on my footwork T_T. It feels so much more solid when I don't lift my feet off the ground. Stupid bad habits from football coaches teaching us powercleans. Need to work on squat snatching more..i feel like my power snatch is better. lots of work to do! edit: and i look down when i get under the bar...god dammit let your arms loose when you are pulling, too much arm pull. good job, are learning quick :D | ||

Place your order, tear some sleeves off an old tshirt and wrap them around where you place your hands until chalk gets here, hold the bar properly (in your fingers not in your palm), and quit making lame ass excuses for not deadlifting!

I like your effort and all but the lower back recovers slowly, so if that was a strenuous 3x5, you're gonna have some serious DOMS tomorrow. So true. I was doing a shit ton of volume (anywhere from 30-50 reps) for my deadlift workouts over the summer. it was pretty brutal.

I feel stupid being able to squat and deadlift a small horse and then on the other hand not being able to finish 1 set of dumbbell curls with 17.5kg weights. The only work my biceps get is from weighted chin+pull ups and barbell rows and i can curl 50+ dumbells for reps. On the bright side, being able to squat a horse is far more practical than failing at trying to curl it On December 08 2010 23:20 Energies wrote: You don't want to build an imbalance.

Off to go throw heavy shit in the air. Without jumping. Or looking down. Or using early arm pull. Objective: Bodyweight snatch. Maybe clean 125 I might try out the hook grip on my snatch, i know the more experienced lifters there use it. | ||

As long as your muscles are feeling pretty good I don't think it matters TOO much. If you wanted to get serious with handstands, etc, I thnk it would be a very good idea to do at least some mobility work before and flexibility after each workout | ||

.Yeah, I know about the hook grip, and that amazon page, I don't like amazon as of now. I ordered a PS3, and I paid for next day shipping, the fuckers delivered it one day later, and My aunt couldn't bring it to me (she left earlier that delivery day). So Yeh, I'm fucked. I'll try hunting down some gymnastics shops or some shit, and see if I can find some good chalk and buy something that'd last me a while. Most people here, use gloves, like 99% :/ I think I'm the only one who doesn't want to use gloves. :o! And well, I just recently found new love for deadlifting, it's so empowering, I just fucking love it, asdfasdfasdfasdf. Man, if 2010 was this good for me and everyone else in athletics, gym work and better body composition, I just can't fucking wait to see how far are we, this time of the year in 2011!. :D! CELL TECH FOR MAX GAINS Bro! | ||

I've been working towards the planche as well, but I can only hold a tuck planche that's really low to the ground. I can't fathom how I'm going to raise my hips up any higher. | ||

halfway through the year i switched hand positions and it slowed me down a lot, but frankly my progress has been abysmal anyways. I can hold a normal tuck that's pretty high for 25-30 seconds if im fresh, but that's to failure. I can hold a pretty weak advanced tuck planche for 1-2 seconds. what hand position are you training with? | ||

I'd like to be able to hold my self up on my fingers, but that in itself is a far away goal. | ||

i think that practicing various hand positions may make it harder to reach. just my guess though. | ||

Fucking phenomenal workout. Snatched without jumping my feet and it felt so much more stable. But i wasn't finishing my second pull so i struggled around 75. Got my shit together, relaxed my arms, and dominated 80kg twice. Did c&j up to 95kg today. couldn't get 100, prob tired from snatches. Kept cleaning went up to 120 without thinking about weight and got it pretty good. 125kg. Enter Beast Mode. Let out thunderous roar during second pull. Catch it perfectly. More roaring as i power through the front squat. 275 pounds = owned. new pr And then another guy there cleaned and jerked 140kg like a boss. at 41.
