good neck recruitment is actually the key to a powerful bench although it really doesn't need to be mentioned. if anything all the posters in the thread are probably overtraining their neck muscles in the locker room

Defiant Sally posted:pretty sure its bro science garbage perpetuated by starting strength autists You were right, Atoma is the best thing DT have put out since Damage Done.  no idea why they released one of the weakest songs on the album first.Anyway, trip to gym: squatted 95kg for three sets of 10 reps. I'm tired of being light, I'm switching to a hypertrophy routine to see if I can actually gain some mass rather than just getting stronger but looking similar. 65kg and benching 90kg for 3 reps is fun, but I'm sure being 75kg and doing it for 10 is even better.

My lovely new wrist strap snapped on the stitching during a 595lb deadlift. My old ones from elitefts lasted 7 years and these lasted all of 4 weeks.

While expensive, they seem pretty decent. Bought small because I got skinny wrists, but that might have been a bad choice. My only problem with them is that I feel the "flap" could come longer way into my hand, although I still get a really good grip with them.

I started my swole journey 2 years ago. A friend commented that I grunted and sighed when I sat up out of the drivers seat in my car. I've been doing barbell squats regularly since then. I now explode out of my car like Brock Lesnar. No idea about the testosterone thing.

Huh, I'd always heard that slow concentric was good too (while mixing in other explosive workouts, including doing faster concentric on the bench - so, switching out slow and normal some workouts). Good to know, I'll adjust.

Good to know, I'll adjust. You still get gains either way, and lifting is one of those most roads that aren't going in the wrong direction lead to rome activities. It just takes different amounts of time to get there. Khorne fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Nov 5, 2016 |
