triggerhappy

I got 220kg dead lift last night with sore legs from 2 nights before so happy with that. Bench has sufffered but did heavy dumbells first. did 6 sets of 8 with the 46kg dumbells then flat bench straight after with just 80kg with 5 sets all to failure. After that did the incline hammer strength machine with 40kg each side. Safe to say i can hardly move at all today.

Will take a few weeks to get strength back mate. I ended up having a heap of time off due to various reasons and the main one is i kept getting sick on and off for about 6 weeks. Started back this week and very impressed with how strong i am considering. But sore... Wow never have i got this sore from training. I dont want a break like this ever again i can barely move haha

What else was on the car to make that power? Injectors, afm, fuel pump?

Be careful... Most of your mates will pay you out..

Hate to break it to you if you are concerned about health and body parts being injured weightlifting is the wrong game Eating what you have to do to get strong and big and lifting ridiculous weight is far from good on any of your body. Plus you only need that grip on your final lifts. Its not like you are doing it all day every day

Use chalk as well. Also if you lock your thumbs under your palms it wont fail it works like straps.

You can use double over hand grip but you have to tuck your thumbs in so they lock. It hurts but it works. Not good for high volume. Really best suggestion is persist with out straps and work on your grip strength. I had same issues and have been working on it since. Alternate grip makes me twist when i lift which in turn puts my pelvis out. My forearms have gotten a lot bigger since ditching the straps

I would have to agree the guy only asked an approx cost. Few ego problems Good on you piggaz

Ok had no spotter so did 10x 90kg then did 140 easy could have pushed for 2 or 3 but decided to set the squat rack up and try 150 and failed. Going to try fresh with a spotter in a few days. I failed 3/4 of the way back up so got a feeling i talked my self into failure. Back on the horse and try later in the week

Yeah i will play it safe. I believe mindset has a lot to do with strength too. A failed lift always sets me back a bit, even when needing a spotter. Even though me and my mates train a bodybuilding style of training we are all VERY competitive and everyone cops constant ribbing hahah. And will have a spotter cant risk injury anymore than i do

will do it either tomorrow or sunday will post results. Might give 150 a bash first and not get ahead of my self

Thanks L33SH ill give that a go. In your powerlifting point of view if i can get 8 reps out at 120kg for 6 sets i should be reasonably ok with 155 for a single? Or should i aim a bit lower?

all my 1rm have been at the end of lots of volume with decent weight. I want to try and not be so rooted when i try. I was thinking a set of 10 with just the bar then set of 5 with 1 plate each side then was going to have a bash at 155kg

Going to try my 1rm for bench tomorrow. Whats the best way to go about this as in warm up? Can tell i am not from the powerlifting side of things hahah
