Title: I have to start bringing a camera to the gym....
Post by: Palpatine Q on July 08, 2009, 01:36:45 AM
I was busy blowing my shoulders up the Dillet-esque proportions when i see this fairly stocky dude throw 405 on the decline. Now 405 is nothing to sneeze at, even on a decline, so when he finally got under it i stopped to check it out.

Well....this guy proceeds to do three of the ugliest quarter reps I've ever seen, with his buddy spotting/ helping the entire way.  I mean.....if the bar traveled six inches that's being generous.

I actually started laughing. what the fuck are some people thinking?

One funny story to share. Once a guy came to my gym (I had never seen them before) and when I arrived they were doing 1/4 squats with a weight of 180kg. Little did he know at the time that he would soon see me doing full (deep) squats with much more weight! He was still there when I started adding plate after plate, and I could see him watching as the weight went from 60kg (my warmup), to 100, to 140, to 180, to 220, 240, 280 :)

Pretty standard modern olympic weightlifting training. Best way to describe it to someone who is not familair with the training for this sport is pretty similar to the basic exercises in this old clip although with more modern equipment
, and different as follows:

-they often seem to catch the weights on the way down. These days people tend just to drop them.

-they don't seem to use straps much. These days we do, especially on exercises such as shrugs and pulls.

-we also have a range of machines that we can use that maybe did not exist back then (for me typically at the end of a workout to help balance muscles not overly stimulated during olympic lift exercises or to isolate a few muscles) - eg pec dec, pulldowns, cable crossovers, seated rows, calf raises, leg extensions, leg curls etc.
