deadlift involves traps, lats, lower back, glutes, hamstrings and some quads depending on form

you have to really push with glutes and hamstrings to use those 3 muscle groups in unison, if you're just lifting with lower back you have bad technique

and if you want to push through your plateau for overhead press then try push presses same thing but you're adding more momentum, when you get that weight higher you'll see how much easier overhead press is

I was going to ask if he is doing push presses already. Common mistake to those new to overhead press.

push presses look like they involve knee bending and leg help

i'm following the guide on the stronglifts website where it says to lock your knees and hips and clench your ass (which really makes a difference) so that it strickly uses your upper body

i'm definetly not dropping down and using my legs to help drive the bar up

should this be the form i want to follow for deadlifts? looks pretty good, but her back is way more veritical than mine is, which is i'm sure why my form is poor

(i know she's using that special bar)

mark riptoe says to drag the bar along your shins and thigs up and down to keep the bar close

i can't feel the lats when doing deadlifts :pokerface:

^ not enough hip thrust

this ok form?


i think my problem as well is that my legs are long so i really need to drop low to get my shoulders above the bar and not have a more horizontal back position

i just posted it because i thought it was hawt :3

Damn feels bad when i have to take a shit during a wrkout. Especially squats

Back day today.

Warmup with pullups
Deadlifts 5 sets 4 plate x 3 max weight lifted
BB Rows 3 sets 2 plate x 5 max weight lifted
DB Rows 3 sets 115lbs x 8
Reverse Grip Pulldowns superset DB curls 50lb
Machine Rows (stacked that bitch) Superset easybar curls with 35's

Weight on the scale today was 200lbs again so I guess that's real lol. I thought the scale was wrong the other day. Abs have def. lost some definition but overall I'm looking fucking solid.

Berz out.

Arrived at the gym today and they opened in the under construction portion. My weight room just doubled in size.

Chest and Back
Incline DB press
Weighted pullups
Incline Bench
Seated Rows
Pec Deck
T Bar rows
Low to high chest flies
Face pulls....

did deadlifts today facing away from mirror. feels awesome. wish i could squat w/o mirror but too dangerous cuz hard to rack it backwards.
tried to run bar up my shin during deadlifts. reduced bar's path alot but it hurts

Your leg press weight is solid as hell. I can rep 275lb squats, but can only do 10-12 reps on the leg press with 5 plates. :pokerface: Maybe I'm not pushing hard enough.

looks like im cutting squats for now..my knee is really bugging me, i get in my car to drive and 10mins into driving it's killing me :okay: fuck

10 plate leg press for 5 reps myron? lol this cut is strange some days weak sauce as hell some days just beast O_O

1 inch ROM? :smug:

Just got into an intense argument.

All I want to do right now is tear shit up and lift like fuck. Too bad my gym isn't open. I am FUCKING furious. Nothing matters when I lift.

Go to a dropin at a 24/7 gym

There's nothing you can do. The color goes away eventually

creams don't help lol, only thing which helps is time and getting more tanned

w0w its getting worse each day, is stretching before/after a workout a factor in preventing them from worsening?

^hanhchampion had a solution in one of his comment replys in his videos i forgot which one tho.

Back and chest together in one day.. :suspicious:
incline db and incline bench..?

chest flies!?! :suspicious: :suspicious:

Back and chest is fine
You are actually stretching your chest while doing back, getting better growth into the chest area
