Ahh man, I didn't need to see that; a clenched male ass as soon as I opened the thread ;(

LiE · 30 Oct 2012 at 13:46

Nice Dom, you've got more in the tank

Djdom56 · 30 Oct 2012 at 13:51

You are most certainly welcome

.

Yeah that's the hope, but I guess we will see in a few weeks.

unrack
steady
clench
relax glutes
squat

keep the clench like your scared your spotter is going to bum you!

Djdom56 · 30 Oct 2012 at 14:55

I get your point but it isn't worth keeping your glutes tensed the entire rep, mostly because the glutes primary function is to straighten out the hip joint which is the opposite of descending into a squat. The initial tense is to prioritise good spinal positioning before I brace my core, there's no point being braced in a bad position.

Also really hope he doesn't decide to bum me! Not only is it not my sexual orientation to favour that but also he is my brother :eek:

SMed you do a lot of singles don't you lol

Why not do triples, it will improve your top end.

Beast Lie! Impressive

Delvis · 1 Nov 2012 at 07:57

Nice work lie! Your right side seems to lower the weight a touch further? Do you notice it at all?

TruffleShuffle · 1 Nov 2012 at 08:22

All the gear and no idea in my gym this morning.

Guy comes in wearing gloves and a lifting belt, then proceeds to do a chest and bicep workout

There's something very odd about a guy doing bench presses, in the smiths machine, with a lifting belt on.

Yea, just seems to be a thing I do. I don't actually feel it when benching.

Does my head in

There was a guy in the gym I used to train at, who wore his belt for every workout in our gym. He came in on a Wednesday and did abs and calves. Wore his belt for the calf exercises :/

icecold · 1 Nov 2012 at 09:19

I do wonder what they think it's helping with exactly...

Also, abs and calves. Solid split.

LiE · 1 Nov 2012 at 09:21

I also wear my belt for forearm training.

this may not be true

icecold · 1 Nov 2012 at 09:29

Technically I do.

Also known as: deadlifting.

tom_e · 1 Nov 2012 at 09:33

I wear mine when working out with the misses, gotta keep that core tight brah!
