Thick Bars?
« on: August 11, 2006, 11:32:35 AM »
I just read on T-mag that "thick bars" if used more often, will increase other lifts. Is this true that? I think I read this in MMI a few years back. I think Arnold also suggested it for forearms, but I'm not sure. Anyhow, I'm going to give it a try and see if there's any carry-over effect. I'll start by using it for arm curls. And yes, I promise to stay out of the squat rack while doing 'em. Arrrggg!!! Don't you just hate those people that curl for an hour in the squat rack? Bloody fools!!!!!!!!!

Ronnie trains so heavy that he kept bending the bars at Metro-Flex

after throwing them out, Brian Dobson decided to buy him a Texas bar - a bar thick and strong enough to hang with Mr. Olympia

I always use a thick bar and I always use the squat rack because I can usally curl more than the squadlings can squat
