Gossip & Opinions / Re: bhank is banned from Getbig
« Last post by Grape Ape on Today at 09:31:02 AM »He seemed afraid of back injuries from heavy deads. IIRC he did deads with just 200kg which is pathetic when you row almost the same. But what does it matter with the back he had! His pics still amazes, and he now says he would have trained even less when thinking back.
His hip was busted so he couldn't squat conventionally. In that pic you see how you get extra depth by stepping in front just a bit further, you can't do that with free weight.
There are a lot of folks who push for the smith machine pump style for training quads and such.
I avoid the machine since I literally separated my should using it for bench in 90s.

President Trump concludes his meeting with Zohran Mamdani and says he thinks Mamdani will "surprise some conservative people."
Trump says he is going to be "helping Mamdani" and "the better he does, the happier I am."

« Last post by Dave D on Today at 09:29:22 AM »Deadlifts and squats feel great for me and definitely aid in building a powerful looking physique but I do them for the enjoyment, the challenge and the mental/spiritual benefits first.
LOL you’re so spiritual and righteous.

You can find early shots of power rack squats too. He gradually dropped things out, if he found them painful. Squats annoyed one of his hips, so he added in other stuff. He Romanian deadlifted, but I don't think I ever saw conventional or sumo from him.

« Last post by Humble Narcissist on Today at 09:26:51 AM »https://www.scribd.com/document/111676889/Isometric-book-1-by-Bob-HoffmanThis book was written to cover up the incredible steroid gains made by York lifters. Hoffman claimed this was the secret to their gains. I checked the book out at the local library as a teenager convinced I had stumbled upon the secrets of the universe in muscle building! Three months later I had lost strength and all the muscle I had previously built.

Gossip & Opinions / Re: One exercise per day
« Last post by IroNat on Today at 09:26:07 AM »I do one basic "heavy" main exercise per workout.
Example:
Day 1 - Flat or low incline press
Day 2 - Some type of squat or deadlift
Day 3 - rest
Day 4 - Vertical press
Day 5 - Carries with weights or sandbag
Also I do a couple other things like calves, grip, and sometimes lats, biceps.
However, if my goal was bodybuilding as it is understood today I would do much more.
Here's an article about one lift a day.
