Stallone was actually extremely strong and has some very impressive lifts.

Not saying he didn't, was just saying he was a bit, erm, out of balance with the levels of hypertrophy between his upper and lower body.

I think growth hormone was more his flavour

may i ask what you do/study as your responses have a science edge as opposed to a typical gym rat edge.

WillSpengler · 10 May 2008 at 20:09

Biochemistry (but i've been pinching the lectures which are avalible for the sports biomedicine people too (there was even a course specificall on muscle hypertrophy!), all 4th year life science students have access to all the courses)

What a great feeling it is to wake up and put on a tshirt that has come straight form the dryer

Makes you feel like the hulk

better is when you put on the tshirt you wore to the gym (after workout) and realise its all suddenly tight around arms neck and back

Thats the pump . . . it's like cumming at the gym

Set a nice little rep PB at the gym on Thursday. Deadlifted 180K for 16 reps before hitting failure.

single set or multiple?

Pigeon_Killer · 11 May 2008 at 14:38

Single. Had a few seconds break after 13 but completed the set in around 50 seconds.

Agreed. I could do it... but over the space of 30 mins! lol! That's just insane.

BennyC · 11 May 2008 at 20:42

pritty impressive, i watched a bloke i know set his PB the other week at 183 Kg's, working his way up from about 150 Kg's. Look damn painful, and i dont think he could have screamed much louder! was a reasonably clean lift too. We dont get many screamers down there, plenty of half rep heroes though!

Freefaller · 11 May 2008 at 21:11

I don't scream much, when I did my 200kg DL I was concentrating on getting the bar up and making sure my technique was spot on - I didn't have the energy to scream!

I'm in 2 minds whether shouting/screaming helps or not.

im sure i read a report that actually said that screaming / shouting is detrimental to your form. i think it was something to do with the release of energy at the wrong time and of course the concentration of actually shouting / screaming working muscles that dont need to be used.
not sure how detrimental it was, just that it was said it would be better to hold it in and breathe out at the correct time in a controlled manner (basically at the sticking point rather than randomly during the rep).

Chong Warrior · 11 May 2008 at 23:47

I find it can destabilize the core muscles if done at the wrong time. During the last 10% of the movement or whatever when hitting failure shouldn't be too much of a problem I wouldn't think?

Pigeon_Killer · 11 May 2008 at 23:56

Agree. I sometimes find a little grunt at the top of a rep helps to regulate my breathing because I don't always remember to exhale between reps.

I'd agree with that.
