Step one: Do a deadlift
Step two: How high can I pull this dealift?
Step three: Could I catch this deadlift?
Step four: If I squat down I won't have to pull this deadlift as high
Step five: Deadlift more weight

Just wear the fucking mask, Bob

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

Benching is okay in my book.

Step 3 is where everything goes wrong.


Also I'm pretty sure my shoulders won't do whatever the hell shoulders do in the snatch.

I guess a lot of really strong and/or swole people do them but I just don't loving get it. Like the human body was definitely not meant to lift things in that fashion

some people have more room in the acromial cave or whatever the gently caress that part is called so their rotator cuff doesn't grind against poo poo. i don't bother with upright rows though because i bench and ohp plenty enough for my front delts

Mike Israetel recommends upright rows for side delts (as long as it doesn't hurt).

Drunk Driver Dad
Feb 18, 2005
Oh wait, those are more side delts aren't they? I think I confused them with front raises. I've just been doing lateral raises and one arm Z presses(and whatever amount regular barbell OHP hits them). There's also a lateral raise machine thing at the gym but I haven't even bothered with trying it yet.

Like this?



It's a good machine I really like it.

Also plate loaded or pin-selected pullover machines rule, but I only ever had one in my huge campus rec gym.

Drunk Driver Dad
Feb 18, 2005
Yeah, it's like that one for the most part. I usually lateral raise like 3 times a week, I'll replace one day with the machine and see how it feels.

edit: vv apparently it's too hard to judge, but whatever. I say do it anyway vv

USSF does overhead instead of bench. They don't have judge commands either you have to get the lift right on your own. They also do weigh outs after your last deadlift and no sumo.

:hampants::hampants::hampants:
I've added 30 pounds to my OHP by including it in my 5/3/1 cycle along with bench, squat and deads, all of which are cool and good lifts.

Thanks again to the thread for suggesting the 5/3/1 to me.

I did squats again finally. No knee pain, so I'm hoping I'm good to go now. And if anyone is curious about deadlift to squat carryover I was able to do 225x3 for a few sets, probably could have went heavier or did a few more reps but I didn't want to push it. So there definitely was some carryover because I'd say ~185-195 felt about like the same intensity around the time I stopped squatting.

If you're in the states, find a Team USA-certified club. It's quite fun and you'd be surprised what your shoulders could do with some encouragement.

Edit: someday I'll snatch 100kg... Someday.

My work schedule changed recently and getting up at 0345 to go to the gym loving sucks.

Bonus is there is absolutely no one there negative is it takes me longer to get going and I don’t have as much time as I need.

Its actually quite something. It was first opened in 1969 by a Venice beach Body Builder and then sold to Horace J. McKenna in 1976 who... http://articles.latimes.com/2000/oct/29/local/me-43962

It changed hands a few times after that but the guy who owns the building now has been working out there for nearly 30 years. My coach Jason was a competing powerlifter that held a World Record in the deadlift of 716 lbs. at 220 lb. body weight (WPL or something). He really does some amazing work with the women clients too and there is actually a good mix of men vs some pretty strong rear end women that actually compete.
