mostly grip and core, i believe, but i think it's pretty good on getting some unilateral hamstring work as well (at least i feel them there).

are they done from the front or the side?

The "suitcase style" pickup is most effective for hitting the core muscles being as you must stabilize 19823 times more. From the front, might as well do real DL's.

A scientific study shows this to be 234523% true.

i use nitro-tech and enjoy it.

Nitrotech is a quality protein, but it was overpriced before milk cost went through the roof!

AHAHAHAHA A sweet update...most of you will think this is lame, but I am excited like you wouldnt imagine. I did my first "direct" upper body workout today since I was injured in 2005. It has been almost 3 years since I have done anything noteworthy for chest, shoulders, or triceps. I worked up to a sweet and MASSIVE

max bench, and did a bunch of lateral raises and stuff too.

BENCH
Up to a massive 155x1. I shake less under 900lbs on the squat than I did on this bench. I am literally completely uncapable of unracking the weight, but pressed it fairly well.....but its only 155 too.

Front Raise
45lb platex3x10

Lateral Raise
20lb Kettlebell x3x12

Pushdown
40lbsx3x20

Overhead cable extension
40x3x20

Face Pulls
110x3x12

155 is a lot better than 45 bro! With all thats happened Im sure you're happy to press that much. Good job!

The Squadfather · « **Reply #65 on:** April 04, 2008, 05:58:45 PM »

given what happened to your arm that's amazing man, good stuff.

PANDAEMONIUM · « **Reply #66 on:** April 04, 2008, 07:51:38 PM »

J, congrats on the bench PR. Do you have any mobility/pushing strength in your injured arm? Are you basically pressing with your good arm and just using the other arm to counterbalance the other side of the bar?

Thanks Pandae. Ive got some strength in it, but, obviously, it is very limited. Hopefully I will be able to do a 200lb bench in that meet in august.

Thanks for the support buddy! I was honestly nervous trying it, but the confidence slowly came back. Today, Im actually sore a bit in the delts and pecs...must be a good sign!

actually i was just making a playful, if tasteless, joke at jason's expense. frankly, the fact that he's benching anything at all is AMAZING given what he's been through.
