I've never had one of those piston chairs that ever didn't eventually start leaking and sinking the more you use it. I can just imagine that happening to that MAXX Bench.

That is the most un-swole thing I've ever read. Just tell people you pinched it wrestling twinks in the steam room imo.

It only helps you in situations where not using clips or the roll of shame work just as well. If you drop the weight or your shoulder gives out you're still hosed. Just set the safeties up correctly and you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars.

I never really got the point of clips outside huge "the weights are gonna fall off the bar with even the slightest lean" lifts anyways.

If you're having trouble with weights falling off, doesn't that mean the problem is with your form loving up, not the safety features of the exercise working as intended

how much is that bench anyways, half the appeal of kickstarter (for me) is the early bird "barely higher than the manufacturer's price" discounts, but with exercise poo poo its hard to beat craigslist

I think the correct solution is just don't try and bench more than you can safely roll of shame or at least have a spot.

Still, cool idea I guess. I'm sure all the mc gyms will eventually buy these.

That's the smart thing to do, but even a spotter won't help you if something gives out. People can't react that fast or catch something heavy moving quickly.

But yeah, having them in McGyms will be a good thing. People are stupid and need them.

Personally, I love watching retards at the gym lifting without clips while the lovely iron plates slowly slide off the bar and they struggle to stay balanced. Put on a cool face, slide the plates back on, rinse, repeat :allears:

Yeah at least the spot can maybe help get he bar off your neck before you are paralyzed.

Never underestimate the desire of people to spend lots of money to not feel a moment of shame

I rolled over in bed to turn off my alarm and dislocated my knee. I was so sleepy that I popped it back into place without thinking much about it.

Gave myself a lovely permanent knee condition, but you know what manages that? Muscles. You know, like the sort you get from lifting hella.

I was 26, didn't even get to play the old fart card.

its happening, im getting addicted to DOMS, that oh-so-good soreness that your body uses to say "good lifts bro, feel the swole"

gonna end up squatting mailboxes to get my fix

actually worth reading: man Myprotein tastes nice. all three flavors (salted caramel, blueberry, chocolate smooth) taste awesome (tho chocolate smoothie is the easy winner) and mix real well. Been putting a scoop in my cereals GOTTA GET PROTEIN EVERYWHERE. a+ would buy again

I'm having the same issue of underpreforming in OHP. I think it is because I didn't have a dedicated shoulder day, so I now dedicate a day to do this workout:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/building-boulder-shoulders-lawrence-ballenger-shoulder-workout.html

I personally wouldn't do the rotator cuff, a stabilizer, before working the larger muscles and would do it after. However, if you are gonna follow that routine, at least make sure you don't exhaust the RC. He has it listed under the warm-up, make sure that's all you do, don't go overboard on the weight with it.

I'm sure that's fine. Personally I just do rotator cuffs last when I work shoulders. I just wanted to make sure he knew not to overdo it. Some people when they see "warmup" don't really get what warmup means, and it's important with the RC's especially to not exhaust them and then try to lift heavy poo poo.
