If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

Has anyone had experience with the Hex Trap bar?

Looks like it could be a bit easier/safer on the back.

I'm not about to buy one, just a random discussion topic more than anything.

Part of me thinks that it'd allow you to lift more without risking the back, but at the same time makes me think that if the back is supposed to be getting a workout during DLs then you're kind of cheating.

I'm thinking it makes the squat a pull exercise rather than push too.

Looks like it just targets your legs and traps more due to being able to load more weight onto the bar and retain a more upright/vertical spine.

You're right, somewhat defeating the purpose....though I'd definitely give it a shot myself right now - surely better than not doing deadlifts at all :P

Yes you will, I'm pretty sure your post count will start going backwards now too.

Until you go and squat again.

And don't hate on vagina's a decent one can take an absolute pounding.

I didn't squat last night when I was supposed to, will I lose all my gains?

If you don't mind contracting superaids and head cancer, you have nothing to worry about.

People keep referring to vaginas in a derogatory sense, implying weakness.

It's been said before, that testicles are pretty damn fragile, but the vagina can take a pounding by comparison.

Take that how you will :D

Exactly. Doing this exercise to avoid an injury that never used to be there is defeating the purpose of building the back stronger.

Stronger back = deadlift more.

Working the rest of the muscle around the problem makes those muscles stronger, but not the injured ones = imbalances

Imbalances are right up my alley, I should definitely get one.

Just gettig freight quotes on racks at the moment.

What?

I'm saying deadlift the proper way after, in this case back, is healed.. Not do something that is a way around fixing the issue.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan 路 Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
