I pulled a muscle real good deadlifting, like require assistance getting in and out of bed for a week good, and I've never trusted myself going heavy since. I can feel that snapped guitar string feeling just looking at a loaded bar.

I pull way more sumo than conventional, and it feels a million times better. I have long legs and arms, however I squat with a somewhat narrow stance.

My goal is to be able deadlift enough so that it's not embarrassing when my back snaps.

My gym tossed out every dumbbell over 50kg. The gently caress is this? Curves?

Kelp Me! posted:. Is there a reliable cue for "don't attempt this rep it will destroy your back?" Always chase that final rep. I guess be willing to drop the bar if you perceive your back is starting to bend in a bad way. I'm definitely guilty of trying to finish my rep at all costs.

The safe answer is that reps only count if they're done with perfect form, and that you should stop when you "miss" one.

I'm talking about your spine lol Real talk, train more until you're confident in gauging your ability to lift heavy and grind heavy. Hitting that last tough grinder and pushing through it safely is a skill that takes time to develop proprioception.

There is a girl who go to the gym when I go to the gym and she basically works out in the tightest semi-seethrough pants I've ever seen. You can see she's wearing a thong and she squats a lot a lot How do I marry this girl?

See my post before that. They helped me out when I first stated lifting and now they don't do much for me. If you feel like something's helping and it's not universally condemned by people who know what they're talking about then you're probably not wasting your time.

cool. My upper traps have long been the source of neck/shoulder pain for me, and doing shrugs has helped immensely. They're also so overall low-effort that they're perfect for supersetting in with some other isolation poo poo. e: it also seems like a natural target muscle for people focusing on aesthetics?

Kelp Me! posted:cool. My upper traps have long been the source of neck/shoulder pain for me, and doing shrugs has helped immensely. They're also so overall low-effort that they're perfect for supersetting in with some other isolation poo poo. For sure. Keep in mind though that if you want truly bodacious traps, don't rely on shrugs alone to hit them. Shrugs are essentially an up-and-down movement, which is fine; however, the orientation of the trap muscles wrap around the upper back, and all the way to the front, by the clavicle. You'll want to include some exercises that are more '3D'. So two more options I'd add are; 1) high seated cable row (either with a bar, bringing it to your chin, keeping your back tight and traps engaged the entire time -- OR, with a split-rope in a face-pull motion) and 2) standing trap raise (stand upright, hold a plate in front of you level with your face, arms extended, and lift it up above your head whilst keeping everything tight, and back to the starting position for reps)

Compared to farmers walks even for a muscle building exercise they don't come close. https://www.t-nation.com/training/farmer-s-walk-cure A light farmers walk, which for me is 60kg in each hand, walked for 80-100 meters gives the most insane trap and rear delt pump i've ever felt, with the added bonus of huge forearm pump and grip work. Compare that to a very heavy farmers walk, which to me feels like it works more the entire back, stomach and legs with less or not as much work on the shoulders comparitively. (I get more shoulder pump out of the longer, lighter walks) Considering how simple both the exercises are versus how much you get out of each one.. if you want big traps you can't beat farmers. Also if you are going to do shrugs dont roll your shoulders. And don't roll deadlifts either. I'll stfu now Sludge Tank fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Oct 27, 2017 |

Nah that's good info. My gym is tiny so farmer's walks could be a slight issue, but it seems like a pretty sweet exercise. Maybe I'll try it on a treadmill

Doing laps of a small room is fine. Doing the turn with heavy loads is loving hard and a workout in itself. The room i do mine in is 20m long, so i do 3-5 laps of that.

I've only done farmers walks a few times, I think you're the expert here. I'd definitely say they're a more useful exercise if you only had time to do them or shrugs.

I did that a few times after seeing that video, and it was pretty awesome. Probably not a good idea if you train alot of volume on arms, though.

Admittedly, I train Sumo more than conventional anyway. Breaking it off the ground is my permanent weak point and I over rely on my not-legs in conventional. Breaking it off the ground in Sumo is brutal as heck when you have the arms of a 5'9 dude at 6'1.
