wide grip, arched bench press should hit that perfectly

2018-09-05 00:26:31 UTC  

or atleast it does for me

2018-09-08 18:51:58 UTC  

Upping the volume and doing incline and regular flat bench made by bench press skyrocket and my chest to really start to bulk up

2018-09-08 19:46:24 UTC  

I've never tried incline or decline bench, but the bench press has always been one of my weakest lifts. Might have to mix it up.

2018-09-08 19:46:57 UTC  

DB flys definitely helped my chest out, tho, in terms of size.

One of our boys has been programming me in the lead up to my next powerlifting meet. Can’t argue with the results, my conditioning is way up

2018-09-10 16:59:37 UTC  

Looking into buying a kettlebell. Are there any kettlebell characteristics besides weight that are relevant when choosing among the options?

2018-09-10 22:38:27 UTC  

@peytonT is it who I think it is?

2018-09-10 22:39:29 UTC  

@Nick-NJ I had 5x11 squats today w/330 so I think you know

2018-09-10 22:42:16 UTC  

😑 😑 😑 😑

2018-09-10 23:58:07 UTC  

@here if any of you guys experience knee pain when squatting, try substituting regular squats with Bulgarian split squats.

2018-09-10 23:58:43 UTC  

I've been doing it for the past 5 weeks and I've seen noticeably more leg growth than from when I was just squatting

2018-09-11 00:02:28 UTC  

Funny you say that. I have a little pain on the inside of my kneecap from squatting today. Never had it before. Thanks man

2018-09-11 00:03:25 UTC  

@Ben - OH Beats me.

All I know how to do with a kettlebell is swing it between my legs.

2018-09-11 00:18:04 UTC  

@Pat-MA I wouldn't make the switch unless the pain was unbearable, but you'll definitely benefit from using split squats as an accessory!

2018-09-11 00:27:22 UTC  

excellent

2018-09-11 01:14:41 UTC  

@Ben - OH I don’t think so. I bought my 35 pound KB from Rogue. I don think there’s anything special about them

2018-09-11 01:18:42 UTC  

I partial tore my mcl when I broke my tibia in high school the two things I found is making sure my knees track over my toes when I squat and lots of warmups. I take the empty bar 2-3sets and add slow until I’m in the groove

Anybody else have the Strong app say their total lb volume is higher than it actually was.

2018-09-13 04:31:55 UTC  

I did the math of what I lifted and there's a ~4000 lb difference.

2018-09-13 04:32:05 UTC  

Am I missing something in my math?

2018-09-13 04:32:39 UTC  

tf

2018-09-13 15:24:37 UTC  

Have never calculated it myself tbh

2018-09-13 18:12:15 UTC  

Idk what to make of it. Maybe there's something I'm missing.

2018-09-13 18:18:36 UTC  

Either way I've got my workout so Imma keep doing what I'm doing.

2018-09-15 21:44:41 UTC  

anyone following the olympia?

2018-09-15 21:48:36 UTC  

not really but I saw a video title saying big remy was out of conditioning, and some black competitor looks like eore from Winnie the poo?

2018-09-16 01:09:23 UTC  

Lol i would say thats kai greene but hes not competing. kinda lame that ramy didnt bring his best package, phil is going to get his 8th for sure

2018-09-16 16:11:31 UTC  

been sick with a respiratory infection since Friday but got some corticosteroids and now feel amazing. Time to get on that platform boys...

2018-09-16 16:18:52 UTC  

getting sick is for pussies

2018-09-16 16:21:17 UTC  

haha y-yeah i-i was just kidding! lol!

2018-09-16 16:22:41 UTC  

rumor has it identitarians are physically incapable of sickness

2018-09-16 16:24:50 UTC  

It's weird, but when I'm in great shape, lifting hard, etc. The closest thing I've been to sick in years is a sniffly nose

2018-09-17 13:43:42 UTC  

Lol @ Phil winning an 8th, conditioning was off, I hope Roelly wins next year

2018-09-17 13:44:02 UTC

Borthers (and sistars) I have been doing 5x5stronnglifts Turkish meme routine (with keto, morning fasts, and off day sprints) for a month. Started really low to ensure good form. Making good gains in mass and less body fat, weights on bar going up by 5 or 10 every time. Still rookie numbers but I am a recovering skinnyfat lanklet (although I can chop wood and portage a canoe as good as any man).

I am in an unrelated absurd gen ed PE class. Today for "lab" we did our one rep maxes on bench and squat. I had never tried before because I often do the doomer alone night lift and have no spotters.

POINT IS, is it normal for my 1 rep max to be so close to my easy 5x5? Within 40 lbs. I am borderline moron so please be patient, thank you.

2018-09-26 21:10:35 UTC  

Just seemed weird to me.
