it's all good. training is "rushed" so I get in and out really fast, heavy as I can go and out the door. are you posting over at IM?
this is just crazy stuff, man. i'll definitely be keeping tabs on it. i love checking out severely unorthodox styles like this.
my man, i would LOVE to see what kind of progress you've made physique-wise with this program. some of that sounds absolutely brutal (16 RP reps on the decline with 275? yikes)
Always meant to ask u al, with ur lower back probs....do u wear a belt with all back work/deads etc??davie
anytime my back is at risk or there's gonna be any torque on it at all I wear my belt. If I'm on a hammer row machine and my torso is supported I won't wear it but when I do t-bars, BB rows or seated rows it's on. Squats-wether they're free weight or on a smith it's on, hack squats. even standing curls..any overhead pressing movement. I really should have it checked out but I think one of 2 things is gonna happen either they're gonna tell me I need surgery or I'll be going to a chiropractor for years on end..I don't wnat to do either.
haha fair enough....i 2 have suffered from lower back probs, ligament troubles in lower right back, led to sciatica (when the pain goes right down to ur calfs). I think i found actually that heavy but high rep rp'd SLDL actually helped as it worked my lower back and hammies, and i read sumwer that alot of lower back pain can come from week and neglected hamstrings?!Iv just started back with heavy deads and squats and even tho im using about 10kg's less than a few blast ago (i lowered weight and im building it back up), iv decided to wear the belt, the old prevention better than cure notion?!Did heavy deads on friday and didnt even really fel it at al in my lower back, great!! lets see what happens when i hit heavy low rep squats this friday, as i tend to lean foreward on heavy squats (dont know how to fix it either)??On a side note my friend, im cycling back in powerlaterals after not using them for a while. after i stall on htem i was thinking of trying power cable laterals (one arm at a time)....any views?Tho im loving pressing movements for shoulders and feel there improving alot!!davie
Sounds good bro, looking strong!!Chest getting better??Im now basing alot of chest work around inclines. Im doing BB incline/DB incline/upright machine press (holding lower/decline handles). Im thinking of getting local rugby club set up with a gym, squat stand, pullup bar/dip bar. Good Db's and discs.+see if they'll buy cheap smith machine (about £300 one), so can do vertical leg press.aswell as having more options e.g. smith incline press/smith BNP.davie
Why have u shortened the stretch time??I hate the stretches, but hear they help with the results so who am i to argue, gotta just shut up and do them.There is already squat stands (can also slide bench in to do presses for chest and shoulders). So the smith will just add extra excercise options.See what i mean?Will alsomean only the team using it, no wee kids hogging the bench (my gym i use is getting rediculous).davie
If you want to see a pic of my boy natural al all you have to do is pick up your dictionary and look under dedication.
What scene was alexx in??Good work mate?!Fair enough al, iv thought about other workouts, but wen i think about it, i love whast im doing, and im stronger than ever, and heaviest iv ever been too.I cant wait 2 get a back squat widow maker with 300lbs, im a ways off that yet tho lol.What u think of rugby gym?Will be much more for serious lifters. Squat stands.bars for deadlifting/cleans etc. Pull-up/dip bars. Lots of DB's, hopefully a smith too.davie
the more hardcore the gym is the better. here in the US there's not a whole lot of good gyms left..they're all "fitness centers" now. REally, working out at the local rec center is just as good as the local world gym. that's sad.
how true. i prefer the cheaper gyms just because the environment's so much more conducive to lifting. i'm damn grateful the school here has a pretty harsh gym atop the hill, otherwise i'd go crazy.
