The Y board lifting thread.

[SS]

Are you challenging my position of Y Board Broski? 

Well my twig legs never squatted over 405 so, um hell no

[CalvinH]

Rushed for time last night so only biceps,
straight bar
dumbell curls
rope pullups
one of the machines.


tonight is back,traps,triceps.


do any of the guys here go really heavy on traps

[chaos]

Hmmm.... interesting...... i still have no idea what it is supposed to achieve..... if you wanted to improve your bench why not focus on the weakest part of the lift rather than the strongest

The idea as I understand it "Big"MarkC, is let's say you can lift 300lbs, then when you load the bar with 245 and 75lbs in chain = 320lbs at the top of the movement right? So if you bench that, when the bar is at your chest it is maybe 260+ and at the top it's 320, so when you lift you have to "explode" to push past the weight increase as the bar lifts the chain from the floor, this helps your weak spot as well as your lockout.....now it's the same with bands, except the bands "feel" different, it's hard to explain....

Here's Louie's explanation......

315+ up to 405, is that heavy?

Keep in mind I use the angled smith machine so the bar comes up and back, really hits the traps good.

Did that stupid machine with someone last week. It can hold 7 or 8 plates/side and some on the handles.

Interesting..... So it helps to push through the sticking point..... Sounds like something that would help quite a bit to increase my mega bench even further

Just a regular smith machine with a normal bar on it, but it goes up/down at an angle.

Are you talking about the one you can do standing or seated shrugs?

Yes. I swear the workout partner was retarded that day and I caught some of it. We pyramided up and down and my fucking shoulder almost popped out of the socket.
