Nothing beats squatting 4 plates with a mix of 15kg and chunky bumper 5s.

MarcusSA posted:Does it hurt if you do the crossed arms front squat? No, I tried that and my wrists were okay but my baby shoulders weren't used to the loading there and I couldn't do it. I just added some weight and subbed in paused squats instead. I have a forced rest week now cause my work is making me go places so hopefully it's better when I get back.

What about using straps to hold on to the weight in the front rack position?

dads friend steve posted:That seems kinda dangerous. What if you need to bail? You're not strapped in like you'd "normally" use the straps. The straps go around the bar and you're holding the straps kind of like an inverted safety squat bar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIVKa7EfcMU Edit: I have discovered just how thirsty fitness Facebook group pages are by posting a picture of myself shirtless but wearing a waistcoat. Definitely the ego boost I needed right now. Fhqwhgads fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Nov 10, 2018 |

You don't use the straps to attach the bar to your wrists you use them as a handle. Like demonstrated by Mike T. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp18aI7iIdE/ They also make bar attachments. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp9y9oFhuKP/ Edit:Fhqwhgads described it better.

He probably just forgot about it Happens to me sometimes, after I spend several hours relaxing my anus in order to slowly and painfully insert a loving dumbbell up my rear end, and you know, you just kind of forget it’s there

I've not gone to the gym to start deadlifting yet, hard days at work and "busy" on the days off. Need to go there during office hours to get a keycard and I a guess need to buy gym shoes first too.

I go to the cheapest gym in town and they have signs at every entrance saying don't wear outside shoes in the workout areas. People still do it and I look down on them.

Finland is an asiatic country and wearing your outdoor shoes inside is forbidden by custom/religion. You would get banned from a home or a gym if you went walking around there and refused to take off your shoes.

what about the sock thing? Being serious for a second, imo it feels pretty good for deadlifts so you should try it if it's not faux pas to do.

To deadlift in socks? I'm sure I can try it. I realize now tho I can't get a real answer on footwear here since gym rules are not universal across countries, I just need to get some cheap shoes for the purpose and go.

In the US, I think the shoe thing is a northern thing. In the South, any place I've been to doesn't ask you to wear different shoes. May be a salt thing too?

That one guy recommended chucks for a flat sole and I recommended powerlifts if you want a heeled squat shoe. Also wrestling shoes work if you want to technically be wearing shoes but without much material between you and the floor. Drunk Driver Dad fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Nov 12, 2018 |

The shoe thing in these parts is a "don't track your dirty rear end shoe grime everywhere" thing. We get winters here too. Don't recall anyone ever lifting in boots.

My squat keeps going up even though I only train it once a week and don't do any lower body accessories I imagine this is because years ago I did Starting Strength and all that work is still paying off
