Deficit BSS are the true test of manliness. So much so that I can't do them at the moment. (angry face).

They're actually my favourite lift behind the two Olympic ones, because they're just so beastly.

Im feeling it today from the normal BSS. Although I'd have to buy myself another platform if I want to attempt the deficit ones.

then why try and counter my point about them actually having quite an impact on the off leg with a comparison to bicep curls? you, of all people, should know how tasking they are

Love you really <3

I love split squats more though

In a weird freakish way.

There's also a high chance of falling over which adds to the fun.

Heh, that's a standard occurrence for me if I do them!

I actually found using a loaded barbell in front squat hold makes balancing A LOT easier...

Takes the immediate 'fun' out of it, but that just comes later...

Tried some unweighted last night...

My balance is poooooor. Great fun though wobbling around all over the place xD

Also need to find something around the house that is a better height for my rear leg, current choice is causing twinges in my back.

Try the sofa?

Delvis · 13 Nov 2012 at 10:35

Sofa/kitchen chair/pile of books/dog

Single leg squats are almost as bad from a balance perspective.

Probably the only exercise I know that's easier with weight than without...

King Damager · 13 Nov 2012 at 13:14

Pile of books is the answer to that one it seems. Adjustable height makes sense and it'd make a use for all those textbooks I've got...

Just be careful, they may move around

More core work having to maintain balance. Perfect

Delvis · 13 Nov 2012 at 20:02

Nice work man. In awe of the dips, I struggle with BW ones let alone with adding weight

Result on the paused bench as well

King Damager · 13 Nov 2012 at 20:25

Your benching in general is remarkably impressive, if depressing!

That's because LiE has been working out for around 12 years, 9 of which were spent benching 6x a week with triceps on "rest" day.

LiE · 13 Nov 2012 at 20:59

8 years lol

Skillmister · 13 Nov 2012 at 21:00

So you don't deny the benching 6x a week?

LiE · 13 Nov 2012 at 21:13

Only ever once a week, although I've done it twice a week recently.

King Damager · 13 Nov 2012 at 21:14

When I get around to finally getting into a gym, the short term aim will be benching BW...

And you don't just do chest and arms days?

So that's what I've been doing wrong!

You're probably joking, but make sure you don't just do bench press, you'll end up with an imbalance and knacker your shoulders.

*sigh* I wish joking was more obvious in the interwebs
