Cheers man, gets better though :P As of this morning I'm weighing in at 77kg...and managed that 180kg pull :D vid below - was a bit sloppy halfway up, not quite sure what happened but at least it wasn't an almost-failure point hahaha

Dude.. go see Shero about your form before you do pemanent damage.

I hope it was a one off but if your hips are rising that much each time before the weight comes off the floor then you are on your way to injury town soon.

Forget that you had a brain fart midway through the lift...

you basically lifted your arse right up, then you invented the first ever sumo stiff legged deadlift with a pause halfway up

bretty sure you're not allowed to discuss gear use on this board - AusBB has a gear section

Don't see any issues with it, aside from most members here having no real interest in steroids or the discussion thereof.

Also, swapped out the 3rd set of flat bench for 2 lighter sets of incline just to mix it up.

I'm assuming it's not normal for the bar to be flying around above me at only 50kg lol.

Clearly I'm lacking some strength in some supporting muscles when benching on that angle.

Do you regularly do incline? With a barbell or with dumbells? If the movement is new to you, it will take some getting used to. Start with a lighter weight (empty bar?) maybe?

No never, so it's a new thing.

It's already getting better, I think it was just a combo of it being very light and me not knowing what to hold/how to do the movement smoothly.

It was funny though.

I remember the first time I did decline bench - couldn't even get the bar up with 60kg on it, and that was when I had a 117.5kg flat bench. Then it wasn't long before my decline overtook my flat. Different movement will change everything!

What did I miss in his post that made it about steroid use? Clearly I'm not up with the lingo.

eat clenbuterol, trenbolone hard lol.

Troy I was under the impression that it was verboten to actively discuss it here - I find it an interesting topic, but have no plans to use myself (and I'd be mad to at this point).

I used to find decline easier than flat Birds - I have noticed that nobody uses the decline bench at the gym any more, has it fallen out of vogue now?

Clearly I do not even know enough about the topic to see the words in front of my face lol.

I could care less if people use it/don't use it. Claim they don't use when they do, or openly admit they do. Your body, your business.

If I was competing I'd care, I'm not so I don't.

i only really care when people who present themselves as role models or are teaching / instructing / motivating others lie about their use.

It's bad enough the legions of young guys who think they can look like an IFBB pro or Zyzz without chemical assistance, let alone those supposedly setting an example, Kali Muscle being a notable case.

The day this board prohibits DISCUSSION of AAS on the basis of them being illegal is the day you'll stop seeing my username anywhere in this section. Sourcing and price discussion shouldn't be allowed, of course...but anywhere or anyone that would rather force ignorance onto the curious has no place in my ideal community.

I don't think it'll ever get that far Troy.

By that standard we would also not be allowed to discuss burnouts, speeding, drifting on public roads, or things like speed, pot, etc.

A "discussion" hurts nobody. Condoning on encouraging illegal activities is quite another thing.

It is usually easier/stronger than flat bench, particularly if your flat bench position is a "flat back" style. I'm pretty sure powerlifters / pro-benchers try to mimick the angle of decline on flat bench with their severe back arching (as well as creating leg drive). It not only has less range of motion to travel through, but creates more leverage.

Since adopting a position like this, I've overtaken my pre shoulder injury PBs on bench press.

I have a friend who ditched flat bench altogether because he likes that decline gives him an extra few reps or 5kg more over flat bench lol

I totally agree with this. If someone is on the gear why do they feel they have to lie about it.

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingieย  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like ย 
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car. ย
