I don't think they are calf raises I think he is just so explosive he is forced to go onto his toes .



Also, yesterday was eventful:

 

[Begbie]

Pffft you made that look easy

 

[N19h7m4r3]

Even now I think I can squat deeper than that

 

[Morba]

Mate, normally I'm the first to say to get back in the gym when you have a cold, but given I'm weeing out my rear end and now vomiting, I don't think it's a good idea attempting anything that might strain me

Brb breaking my squat PB by 100kg as I'm aided by jet propulsion from my back side

I know this feeling, had to drop doing deads last night as rear end was producing very weak ox tail soup tbh!

 

[Morba]

damn, not as easy as they look!

It's a very good thing to do. What it highlighted for me is the best stance width to achieve a good position. If the stance was too narrow, my knees would hit the wall as I didn't have space for my hips to go back.

Here's a video of my quick test. No stretching or warm up. What you find is that as you get towards the bottom of your range, it's very hard to maintain an upright position, this is where you stop. If you go a little lower your chest will drop and your lower back will start to round.

Not been to the gym since friday. Goodbye sweet gains. Monday i'll be back though.

 

[friddela]

This guy scares me.

 

[Ultra_Extreme]

This guy scares me.

omg im really not going to come to pro fitness, i might take popcorn if i did tho!

EDIT Commented -

500lbs aint so much when you weigh that bro, a lot of power there but that form is very poor, you are using so much spring in your chest! Speed work is about using your arms explosively to move the bar fast using the fast twitch fibres. You are using your **** to bounce it like a goddamn basketball. Whats more kids on here see you doing that they could get really hurt.
