It happens ... a couple weeks ago I was squatting and thought to myself "oh fuck im not gonna be able to get back up" so instead of falling I let go of the bar and pushed up off the crash bars and re-racked it lol :facepalm: I call it the dip-squat

Anyways, shortly thereafter psyched myself up and repped the same weight that almost crushed me.

Don't doubt yourself! Fear can make you do dumb things

Gym closed today.

Also, who in here uses straps or hooks for deadlifts and whatnot? I've read good things about hooks..

Anyone ever done Westside Barbell Program (specifically the Dave Tates Conjugate Version) or some derivative of it? Feedback and Comments

Mixing whey and coffee is so good. Energy + protein and it taste like mocha!

West side is great
Just like any program keep with it and u wil see results

it was either 5 or 6. But it's probably still on sale.

Good price. And from what I understand it mixes well and tastes well.

Ironmind makes a cool product called eagle loops if you want to train your fingers individually. Brooks Kubik talks about them a lot in Dinosaur Training. But if you really want to train your grip, the best thing would be a thicker bar.

its only 4.4 lbs and its a pretty shitty deal seeing how it use to be 40$ regular

Haha. If I did join a crossfit gym it would only be for a few months since there is no way I would pay 12 months out of a year for it. I'm sure there are some shitty crossfit trainers out there, but I know one guy who knows his stuff pretty well. This one gym that I've been looking at offers powerlifting classes and also I always wanted to learn Olympic lifts. I would probably benefit from some criticism as well since I've been training alone by myself for the past 5 years.

Still on the fence about it though. Might just quit my gym all together and build my own in the garage.

yup, pretty sure it was 4.4lbs.

avoid training infront of mirrors

great program, thats how i train. westside barbell is great because you can alter it to your own specific needs

My community gym was open just 6hrs so all the regulars were there squeezing in a work out.

There are 3 powerlifters at my gym with one who looks to be in his mid 40s squatting 4 plates plus a 25 on each side. Another guy who looks to be in his 70s squatting 2 plates. Not bad!

Recorded some sqwats from tonight to check depth. Not pretty to look at, kind of a bastard style using a low bar position with a narrow stance. But since I like it when other people post vids, thought I would share one too.

shit you are one strong dude red_sir. solid set

scott lets go workout tomorrow, early.

and it was just on sale last week for $10 off and I bought 5 tubs come at me.

ps, used to be $32 when I first started buying it

Sorry man, rest day tomorrow. Shoulder needs it. Will give you a shout later this week.

Everytime you post up a vid, i feel like a weakling... Nice squat man...

Just saw the deadlift vid too and noticed how shitty my vid taking skills were lol. At least i was able to get a clear view of you stiff legged deadlifting 4 plates like a beast

And everytime I see you I feel like I need to go on a diet!
Btw, I wasn't trying to do stiff legged deadlifts that day. Probably just looks like that cause of bad technique lol.

anyone got a good resource for track and field/speed training programs?

currently using brianmac

Whos on the Ibodybuilder program?
