Leg day is my favorite because showing off on leg press and calf raises is my only reward for my years of obesity.

There's a couple of not big at all chicken legged bros with wrist straps and back belts futiley pulling on a 565 lb bar. Is this some exercise I am unaware of? The bar might as well be anchored in the Earth.

Edit now they're slamming the trap bar on the ground with two plates.

Try a trap bar/hex bar deads before giving up on deads entirely.

Yeah, I have a history of back problems going back to stress fractures from sports in my early teens. I started feeling a little discomfort in my back while doing deadlifts, so I switched to a trap bar and it's been smooth sailing since.

Lifted with a friend and his little brother. Little bro is a college sophomore and is fairly new to lifting.

Between sets on squats little brother goes "I want my thighs to get so big my dick looks small"

pfft I don't even have to lift to pull off that look.

I tried straight-bar deadlifts yesterday to work on my form so I wouldn't look like such a pussy at the gym and it felt really good. Really felt it in my hammies and glutes. Got up today, lower back is sore. Back to the trap!

Skip all this time consuming poo poo and go listen to Dorian Yates instruct you on form. Don't ego-lift and work at a weight that gives you perfect form.

skip to 0:40

This is for back but he covers form on lat pulldowns and deadlifts really well. He really understands human anatomy and how to get the most out of each motion - I like his approach to lifting a million times more than any youtube gym retard.

Try using a V handle and do ultra slow reps with a strong contraction at the bottom and a complete stretch at the top. My lats are fried after my sets of pull downs.

Those are my favorite. I do wide grip first because it's my weaker lift then I really load up on v handle. Get a good bicep burn, too.
