The 6-foot-1, 305-pound senior has grown so strong that the Trojans had to buy a set of 200-pound dumbbells for their weight room just to accommodate him. "Before, the heaviest we had were 160s," said Chris Carlisle, the Trojans' strength coach, who adds that Ellis can now do sets of eight reps on the incline bench with the bigger iron.legit?
i dunno Joe, inclines are pretty important for lineman.
I believe it.....however it's absolutely not necessary for what he does.
yeah..I agree. Hubcaps don't weigh anywhere near 200 lbs.
BULLSHIT, no one in the world other than ronnie could do that shit.
thats true and i think most college strength coaches use barbells for heavy pressing. squats and inclines are two big lifts for lineman.
I thought Dumbells would be safer than the barbell,correct me if im wrong
They are, but I usually use DB's on the incline for either change or unilateral movements, when I have my guys do incline BB, I have them use a fairly close grip to use more tricep....not as wide as regular presses but not as close as tricep presses. DB's are always more functional than BB simply because you use more stabilizers in the movement. Same with DB inclines, elbows in and on both I will use a 4-0-1 tempo.
Dr Del, ive notice youre a bit of a douchebag Do all gimmicks come out of the box as extreme turds nowadays ?
