What's the deal with people:

a) wearing belts as soon as they step in the gym and keeping them on for every exercise, including machines?

b) lifting huge weights but for 1cm?

Is there something that I don't know?

yes, it means you can hate people other than me.

MoNkeE · 10 Sep 2012 at 10:44

But you're so hate-able

Thought I was in the gym rats thread... moving post to there.

Not quite sure what you mean Monkee? (UE is on ignore

)

Disagreements or not brah, I wouldn't ignore him. Amongst all his trolling BS, he's got some good knowledge to draw from

I find myself using a bit of body English when doing DB rows, but they're always last, but I find it's more of a jolt up at the beginning of the movement, then I contract my back like a mofo at the squeeze

Oh it wasn't a pop at you - but you see people doing almost a deadlift everytime, and twisting their bodies... Lock that scap in place, and that core, and bloody get it done!

DB rows are a very poor exercise for beginners period, no way can you properly engage the back in the movement without years of pulling experience. Every beginner i see is using bicep+momentum+lateral twisting to lift the weight and will get little from it apart from fatigued arms and shoulders.

hey im not a troll, i do live under a bridge but that makes you a racist!

You're right. However, so many movements really are experienced movements. Heck even my deadlift and squat wasn't that good in terms of technique. However, as you learn and get better you get so much more from your exercises.

Oh indeed but there is more room for so called body english in things like bent over rows and face pulls / pull downs which will teach proper back engagment. I swear its only in the last year or so that ive figured out how to contract my lats when doing pulldowns!

You know when you've got it, as you can't move for days afterwards!

Monkeee brah you gained like 20% bf?

MoNkeE · 10 Sep 2012 at 16:15

Yep, I literally lost my abs in the first weekend after my cut. Not even joking. I binged a little too hard

Skillmister · 10 Sep 2012 at 16:50

Looking joocy though. Shame i'm going to lose my main competition once you start training for the tour de france

PS you need to start fapping with the other arm.

Brah, there's always Delvis.

Excuse the left arm. A mixture of not tensing it properly and it actually being a bit smaller than the right anyway! We established on Saturday that I really need to start hitting the outer bicep - my biceps seem to be entirely dominated by the inside, and near non-existent on the outside, which does nothing for my peaks!

Dem der zits came through quickly mate

Nice V going on though man, I must see Steeds for some proper posing tips

MoNkeE · 10 Sep 2012 at 20:04

Fuark brah, please give me your skin cleansing techniques! On seconds thoughts, don't........ Haven't started anything yet, being in the hot Maltese sunshine resulted in me breaking out in spots annoyingly!

Chris1712 · 10 Sep 2012 at 20:28

My back is always sufficiently spotty to make me look naughty aswell Monkee.

MoNkeE · 10 Sep 2012 at 20:30

Don't tell Delvis brah, he'll judge you, so to speak!
