I have a hard time doing the standing overhead press without flexing the crap out of my back. However I did do a 1 rep 135 once that felt gooooood

E_P posted:Yes it does. If you over work your front delts and dont work your rear delts your relaxed posture will have your shoulders rolled forward. You can bend over and slouch no matter what size your shoulders are. Sit up straight you loving goon. sassassin posted:A lot of the popular programs are written by dudes who admit they only include bench press because it's fun and people will do it anyway, it's the furthest thing from essential (unless you're training for a combine or actual powerlifting competition). Chinese and Russian lifters have all started benching.

I only train back and legs and abs. Everything else is just a byproduct of the compound lifts.

ohp is weird, for some reason i can hit 100 for 10 with dumbbells but only 105 for 5 with a barbell, can't even hit 10 if i go below that to 95/85. if I do literally any exercise that involves my shoulders before I OHP in a workout then I can't hit either of those numbersFizFashizzle posted:You can bend over and slouch no matter what size your shoulders are. fwiw I've started doing facepulls every time I workout and my posture has no question started to improve, previously i had done 0 rear delt poo poo.

Do you guys seriously not know how to pull your shoulders back? You think all those ninety pound ballet dancers are doing pendlay rows backstage at swan lake?

I fixed my posture by stretching my shoulders a pecs and being mindful of posture throughout the day. poo poo fixes itself if you just think about it instead of going fetal because you got stomped playing League of Legends.

I think if you have big boobs then that means you'd have a big dick as a guy. That's how it works im pretty sure.

Gravity was heavy today. Went in to chest day with big boy plans of doing 405 on bench. Worked up to 295x8 and decided maxing is for weirdos. Did some tricep work and got on the exercise bike and one of the trainers came over and talked my ear off about how he didn't want to do anything with his engineering degree.

I could probably be working with the 80s db for shoulder press, but I can't get the drat things up...so I've been stuck with 75s for a month now... I try to bump them up with my knee, standing in front of the seat and using momentum to swing em back then fling them up like clean,.. Then I see these loving monsters repping out 125s in each hand and feel so inadequate. I wanna take steroids

Tolkien minority posted:I was lifting with my friend today who is literally the vp of his fraternity and he told me he never works out rear delts because "girls don't look at rear delts." gently caress chicks, just lift. Take that however you want. I talked to my local gym dwarfthe mythical creature, not genetic. He was a cool dude, I complimented him on his squatting of 550 lbs, then he brushed it off and said he was trying to get to his 1 rep max but decided not to and just peak there. He squatted myself, my other manlet gym friend, and my big friend all piled up. To me, he's a goddam hero.
