Good ****. Don't stop! :)

I'm going for 39, later today, after work. That will be a 1 card PR. :D

[dookie1481]

OK. Help me and critique the 405X4 deadlift video if your intention is to actually HELP instead of ****-stirring.

The exact same **** as in every other one of your vids that I've seen:

Rounded back
Hitching like crazy
Not controlling the descent (I'm surprised you haven't been kicked out yet)
Assuaging your ego instead of using proper form

A lot of people on said boards say that you have a lot of potential (strong for your size), but if you are injured (which WILL happen at your current rate), you ain't lifting ****.

[Gr8Ape]

One day, CRACK!!!!, BAM!!!!!

broken vertebrae

[tonguey]

OK. Help me and critique the 405X4 deadlift video if your intention is to actually HELP instead of ****-stirring.

Ok. Here it is:

1. Youre not using your legs at all at the bottom of the movement. You are stiff legging your reps. This shows you have a very strong posterior, but its not good form for conventional deadlifts. Youre not lowering your butt enough to start the pull. Your butt is high up even at the beggining of the rep. Not good.

2. As dookie said. Once you get the bar past the knee, you beggin hitching it. Which may have different meanings to different ppl, but to me it means that youre kinda resting the bar on your thigh a little and leaning back to try to lockout. Call it what you will, hitching or whatever, but you are doing it.

3. Which brings me to the last thing. Youre not actually locking out. Your legs are still bent at the very top. Not too much, but its noticeable. Its not impossible to see either (Im sure you will deny all of these things, but the lockout is what you will deny the most, as Ive seen you do it before).

Thats all I can see, and keep in mind Im FAR from being an expert (like a lot of the ppl that tried to help you at Iron Addicts). Maybe your back needs to be a little straighter too like someone said before, but those three are the most important.

You can dismiss me like you have done before. Call me an amateur or a noob, cuz I havent lifted for 22 years like your "friend", dont listen to me if you dont want. But for ****s sake, at least listen to the more advanced ppl that have tried to help. Dont always feel attacked by all the advice they give you. They were even very nice to you at IAs and you still didnt want to listen.
Thats why some ppl just plain dislike you. Anyones form can suck, but its only you that WANTS to stay so blind to the truth and never listens to anyone, but his "friend".

[uk machine]

hey diesal, if you dont really think that your forms bad, take your cheater belt off, why are you lifting with it anyway when your doing reps?, and see if your back holds out. if your form is good then you wont get injured. are you willing to take me up on this?

the FI crew have tried to help him aswell, but i think you can guess what his repsone was to everyone.

The belt is irrelevant. His form (or lack thereof) is the issue. Nothing wrong with a belt; I would even recommend it when doing <3 reps.

Screw you. I will lift with whatever equipment I damn well please: belt, wraps, whatever.

Gr8Ape: Don't you have homework to do or something?

[AJ010]

I watched the video even closer. He did not seriously hitch. Look very closely, you'll see it yourselves that it slides up. Maybe on the last 1 or 2 reps its a slightly bumpy ride up the thighs, but it really doesnt look like hitching.

I watched the video again a couple of times and I think these points are more or less valid. Maybe you should listen to him. I don't think he mean to attack you with this. When I lifted I noticed my form was all screwed, it took will to back off the heavy weight and to actually perform the lift with better form. What if you wake up a day in five years, go and train and the lower back suddenly pups and the vertabrea is broken? It looks way cooler if you perform a lift with perfect form even if it's less weight.

[Danimal]

It's definitely hitching. I'm a certified ref and I wouldn't pass any of those reps. I know this isn't a meet but DW should still be striving to use proper form and check is ego by using weights that allow him to use good form. If you guys would stop swinging from his nuts everytime he posts one of these feats of strength maybe he would learn how to lift properly. It's not my body, but the way he's going, he won't be lifting anything when he gets to be my age.

How old are you?

You're a ref in which fed?

I'm not worried about flawless, totally perfect form that's good for three white lights. I'm not concerned with that because I don't see myself ever competing in a powerlifting meet. I lift for PRs, pride and the challenge, not trophies.

I'm 42. I'm a ref in the APA.

Whether you plan on competing or not has nothing to do with your form. Form is something that should be stressed over all else regardless of your goals. It will help keep you injury free and give you longevity in the gym. It's fine to lift for PRs, pride and the challenge. Thats what most powerlifters lift for, not a trophy. But you should do so with the best form possible. If that means you have to drop your weight back to something you can do with good form, thats what you should do. Not do ugly, dangerous looking lifts to stroke your ego.

Are you serious? You really are one of those people who learns everything the hard way, huh? No one is trying to beat you up; I would rather see everyone use good form than lift heavy weights. You will be kicking yourself in the ass a few years from now.

You're a ****ing dick.

[DieselWeasel]

I did some crush grip work today with the Trainer, #1, #2 and #3. I did regular reps with the first three grippers and two negatives per hand with the #3.

[AJ010]

How many times can you close the #2?

[DieselWeasel]

How many times can you close the #2?

I don't know. I never repped out with it. I don't think it would be very many reps. I can get the #3 to about parallel, more or less.

[ChuckTaylor]

You're a ****ing dick.
Thank you.

[hepennypacker52]

How many cards did you start with for tearing? Do you just grab the deck like you would grab a bar (all fingers wrapped around bar/deck) and push with one hand and pull with the other? I can't think of many cooler things than taking someones deck of cards after you lose and tearing it in half.

You have to work them back and forth like a mother****er, it gets tiring.

[DieselWeasel]

Yeah, that's basically how I do it. But there's like three different techniques. Here's a good link for card tearing info:

http://www.heavysports.com/emag/Clay_Edgin/cards.html

hepennypacker52: The first day that i tore cards, I did 20, 25 and 30. Then I did 35, the next day. After that, the gains were much slower. It's been +1 card every time since then.

20 cards

[tonguey]

They are not the only "losers" tearing you a new one man. theres like five other boards where your videos are critized negatively. And if you think that EVERYONE who disagrees with you on your precious deadlift form is a loser, you got it all back asswards man. You wanna see a loser?...see your videos.

[waitlifter82]

**** the videos for deadlifts.... I want to see those chins!!:)

[AJ010]

I should get one of me when I finally nail that +115. :D

I was so damn close

[Porky]

ur lifting is going good man but lets see some bending :).

i know u can kill that yellow.
i think u should start experimenting with a different style.
when i started i naturally went to double overhand, but double underhand is where its at :).

[waitlifter82]

cool beans... just wondering what everyone's form and tempo is on these

[AJ010]

cool beans... just wondering what everyone's form and tempo is on these

Start from about full hang, then get chin above bar. Use as much force and speed as needed. No bodybuilder **** with a tempo. :D

I only got my mouth to the bar. I'm practically doing "thick bar chinups" though, because I use my oly bar to do chinups, and not the thin pullup bar.

[Porky]

You have nothing else in your life to look forward to besides my videos? That's horrible. Sorry about your miserable existence.

no i dont. is that a problem :D

[DieselWeasel]

Yes, it is! ;)

I'm still waiting on the bender's bag from Fat Bastard Barbell Co. which is taking entirely too long to arrive in the mail. I'm going to bend some square stock when I get that bag. That should give me enough strength to bend the yellow.

Are you referring to the pics in the Clay Edgin card tearing article? They work on my end.

Thanks for that card link diesel! My card tearing just jumped from 21 cards to 29 just by using the suggested form :D

- After I got home from the leg session, I couldn't resist the urge to do some tearing. I found a couple of old phone books and tried the smaller of the two which was ~1000 pages. That was too much for me. However, when I tore about half of the pages off, I tore the remaining 560-570 pages in half. I will post a pic of the half that I saved after I return from campus.

[BRADP2]

Nice! Which technique were you using before and which one are you using now?
The grab the cards technique and move hands back and forth until the cards were torn in half :D

I'm going to start doing zerchers...look like fun

[DieselWeasel]

Are you referring to the one hand on top and one hand on bottom method? Is that the technique that helped you increase your tearing ability?

Yeah, the zercher deadlifts are great. They really hit the hamstrings and I always get lots of stares. :D

[DieselWeasel]

Here is a pic of one half of the ripped phone book which is ~565 pages.

[Halfway]

can you post a vid of your next 20 rep squat attempt? I would LOVE to see your zerchers too, I can't quite picture how you're doing the lift...

your deadlift form is remarkable, I'm eagerly awaiting your 455 attempt, I'm sure you could get a couple of reps with that weight at least... dont sell yourself short.

I'm probably never posting a 20 rep squat video because that gives the haters 20x as many opportunities to nitpick my form as opposed to a one rep max video. That's way too much ammunition for those losers.

I posted a 225x1 zercher deadlift video about a couple of months ago in this journal. That vid was from the floor. I might do another video from either the 1st and/or 4th pins in squat rack.

I wouldn't consider my deadlift form "remarkable", but it's a lot better than what many people are making it out to be. If I keep making steady progress, I will probably attempt the 455 deadlift towards the end of the summer.

Dont forget about your well deserved banning from IronAddicts.com.

Why did those other places ban you?. I could take a guess.

Why are you still posting in my journal?

[tonguey]

Im just curious. I keep wondering which will happen first:

a)You finally decide to stop stroking your ego and lift with good form

or

b)Your spine gives out and you end up saying "Gee, I think all those ppl were right all along!" or maybe in your case "Gee, I dont know what happened! My form was alright and I still blew out my back".


EDIT: let me guess. Youre gonna neg rep me again. lol.

You know what's strange? Shortly before I was banned on those forums, I kept reading recent threads about people getting injured (hernias, slipped disks, pec tears, etc.) It seemed like everyone else was hurting themselves. Meanwhile, I'm as healthy as ever, besides the common cold which is just annoying.



EDIT: let me guess. Youre gonna neg rep me again. lol.

You got it, buddy.

EDIT: I tried, unsuccessfully. I need to spread my rep points around some more.

He's not going to hurt his back doing one set of DLs a week is he? Maybe he could get away with back rounding doing much more, ****loads of other people seem to be able to. I wish I could get away with even slight back rounding, but I have a history of back injuries (well one) and sciatica/piriformis syndrome.

I'm interested to see how his numbers progress because I've never heard of anyone basically training HIT but with low-medium reps. I wouldn't have thought anyone could get that far using HIT. Making PRs every workout is not supposed to happen. When you get to a certain level PRs are supposed to burn you out for a while. Maybe that level is higher than DW is at but he is not exactly weak for his weight.

I wonder what the gains would be like using some sort of normal powerlifting training. It looks like you are switching exercises more now. Maybe this is helping.

[John Hicks]

DW,

Great pics and GREAT progress!! Question tho: whats' your current bodyweight now? Damn, you look a hellva lot better than to be at 155!! I'm thinking you're more like 175 or more! :D

BTW, didn't know you were banned at FortifiedIron!! What the hell happened there?!?

[Cricket_Fire]

Dis-respecting mods and members.

Diesel, nice phonebook tearing man. I tried it, and got the pages on mine started, but couldn't finish it (it's the phone book we use haha, mom would've torn my head off anyways).

Good luck w/ your training.

[DieselWeasel]

you have weird dumbells.....why dont they go by 5's

My friend has dumbbells that weigh 12lbs each plus two 1lb collars = 14lbs + added weight.

John Hicks: Thanks. I haven't weighed myself in a while.

FI? That place turned into a total flamefest against me. They didn't like how I was defending myself against the attacks.

Cricket_Fire: It seems like card tearing is a lot more difficult than phone book tearing.

FatboyJim!!1: "not exactly weak for his weight" ? Thanks.


Hey, guys. Here's a new video from last night:

[AJ010]

Bet you were relieved when you finally ripped that **** up. :D

[DieselWeasel]

Bet you were relieved when you finally ripped that **** up. :D

Yeah, it didn't take too long, but it wasn't as quick as I would've liked. That was a big PR for me because it was the first time that I tore through an entire phone book.

EDIT: Cricket_Fire, you can go **** yourself. You're a real big man, talking all kinds of **** about me on FI after I was banned.

[Luke Whippo]

hey Diesel, I ripped a full deck on saturday for the first time fast, twice, at Smitty's house, dude, Smitty ripped 2-decks at once then ripped a deck longways, crazy, I did a write up in my journal about it, check it out man.

Nice! My best is only 40 cards. :(

Holy crap. Those Diesel Crew guys are unbelievable. :eek:

[tonguey]

I couldnt care less about your stupid neg reps. Ill neg rep you back if I feel like it. I still owe you one for the first time you neg repped me.

You just cant stand when someone doesnt agree with your methods and thats why youre gonna pay with a broken back one of these days.

And to the person that said hes not gonna blow out his back in one deadlift session a week. Youre wrong. Just check out his other video (the one where he tries to pull 425 and he fails), one pulling session like that a YEAR could **** up your back easily.

OH yeah! and dont you just find it hilarious that Cricket_fire talks **** about you on FI, yet he is the administrator at your AWESOME liftlikeacricket forum, where YOU the amazing "diesel The backsnapping weasel" moderate the PULLING section. hahahahahahahaha.

[DieselWeasel]

tonguey, you're a ****in moron. I got banned from LiftingLikeACricket which was a terrible board that's never getting off the ground anyway.

Again, why are you still here?

Notice a trend here Diesel? 3 boards you're banned from eh? And btw, I have VG and Sgt.Rock modding my forum. Good replacement for you eh, Sgt.Rock for you?

Anyways, good luck with training. No need to get your journal locked because of flame-wars, so I'm just gonna leave.

P.S. I flamed you before you were banned, but you got banned before you could respond (if you could read, he banned you after my flame post).

I hate when **** like this and tonguey's posts clutter my journal. The hyperlink to my phone book video probably got lost amongst all this garbage.

I was merely defending myself from the endless tirades and potshots directed at me.

[tonguey]

Im here to bring some freakin sense into this stupid journal, where all your "fans" do is suck your balls and give you an even bigger head than you already have.

Gee, I wonder why you get banned from all these places. Even the place where you were a mod banned you. Thats gotta tell you something and if it doesnt, then youre not only misguided, youre also a retard.

Didn't your mother tell you that if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all? In other words, shut the **** up.

[tonguey]

What matters is that so many others have said it so I really dont need to repeat it. We all know whos the loser here and theres no use in telling the truth to you as opposed to just saying "good lifts bro" like all of your "friends" here.

He can't answer that question.

[tonguey]

I wasnt insulting your "friends". But they play a big part in you still not seeing things as they are. As long as theres just ONE person that "encourages" you for your "incredible lifts", youll be stuck where you are. (BRADP for example).

And how DARE you say that about my dad?! Im so hurt, Ive been crying ever since I read that. lmao.

I repeat myself over and over in an effort to see if the constant beating wears your ego down and you finally decide to do the right thing. Plus its fun to **** with you and your lil journal.

It still hasn't arrived and I need to contact them about what's going on with my order. :confused:

Don't worry. I will continue to post more strength training videos including bending. :)

[DieselWeasel]

My 1200 page phone book tear took a while, so I was only able to record the end of it:
http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=1200_book

[DieselWeasel]

I'm spent. I just did some bending:

whitex1
greenx1
yellowx0
two greensx0
two whitesx0 (grrr)
greenx4

total bent: 1 white and 5 greens

My yellow bend and double bends didn't go as well as I had hoped, so I turned it into a volume session.

Everything that I bent was done using a DO grip, just under my chin.

The bender's bag and the other items that I ordered from FBBC still haven't arrived in the mail and it's been over 6 weeks. I'm becoming impatient. :mad:

EDIT: I emailed the proprietor of FBBC about a minute ago regarding my order.

[Porky]

damn those fbbc guys, they are evil.

diesel have u tried cutting ur whites and greens to 4'' pieces.

that should help u get to the yellow.

if u have enuff bend 4'' pieces to failure.

[DieselWeasel]

Correct. You're only 22, you got in and out pretty damn quick, sure you had your reasons though. What was your MOS?

I had a two year contract and was on active duty for two years and four months, more or less, because of stop-loss while I was in Iraq.

My MOS was 19K (M1 Armor Crewman), but I also worked with logistics (before the deployment) and civil affairs (during the deployment.)

I did some grip work today:

I messed around with my CoC grippers for a couple of minutes, doing some light crush grip warmups. Then I looked over at a couple decks of cards and decided to do another tear instead of repping out with the #2 gripper. I was successful with 41 cards which was a 1 card PR -but- it took f o r e v e r ! ! :eek:

Here's a pic of the 41 cards after they were torn in half:

11 cards to go bro, then another 52 to go :D

u grinded that thing out.

you go down pretty quickly tho, maybe try working on going down slower on working sets, will probly help u out of the hole too because u wont have to stop all that momentum.

Which zercher deadlift? Are you referring to the ZD from the 1st pin or 4th pin?

The viking press is almost exactly the same as the strongman event of the same name except I use a squat machine instead of the official apparatus.

[BRADP2]

First pin

[DieselWeasel]

First pin

Here you go:
http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=max_zercherDL_265

My form could've been better, but it's not terrible considering the bar is so close to the floor which makes the lift a lot more awkward than if it was higher, like the 4th pin.

Do you always go sumo on zerchers?Lol, thats the only way you can do zerchers, try and do a conventional zercher you will fall on your face.

EDIT: scratch that i i tryed em conventional, but its really hard not to arch your back so many peeps prefer sumo.

[BRADP2]

Lol, thats the only way you can do zerchers, try and do a conventional zercher you will fall on your face.

I've done them not going sumo.

[Newbtime]

I've done them not going sumo.Notice my edit?
;)

[DieselWeasel]

BRADP2: I've never tried them with a conventional stance because I read that using a wide stance is the only way to properly perform them. Anyway, I do the zercher deadlifts mainly for the hamstrings and I think it hits the hams better when I use a wide stance.

P0W3RLIFT3R87: Thanks, strongwoman. :)

[GmoneyJakee]

nice 338 squat, it gave ya a little fight there. but where did u come up with 338...why not just 340?

[DieselWeasel]

nice 338 squat, it gave ya a little fight there. but where did u come up with 338...why not just 340?

Thanks. It was 338 instead of 340 because I was using two 45s and one 44lb bumper plate per side along with a 10 and 2.5 plate.

[waitlifter82]

Nice squatting, DW!! Seem to have the same problem I do when maxing out. Ie. upper body collapsing a bit.... still, not too shabby!!

Don't worry about it. I was just surprised to see -you- join in on the DW bashing fiesta. But it's all good.

GmoneyJakee: Yeah, they're actually 44.1lbs, but I don't include the .1 in the poundage lifted.

[GmoneyJakee]

u know why they just didnt create 45 lb bumper plates? i dunno i thought it would just seem to make more sence, but mabey thats just me

[DieselWeasel]

u know why they just didnt create 45 lb bumper plates? i dunno i thought it would just seem to make more sence, but mabey thats just me

It -would- make more sense to make 45lb bumper plates, but it says 44.1 on it. Don't ask me why.

20kg x 2.20462262 = 44.0924524 which rounds to 44.1

they are 20kg plates :) aka 44.1 lbs

You got stapled by that squat and you didn't reach parallel, other than that it was perfect.

Also your form on the zercher was terrible, you rebent your knees half way up.

How did I get "stapled" by the squat? That doesn't make sense.

I didn't reach parallel? Click on the pic below.

Have you ever done the zercher deadlift? It's a two step process, just like stone loading. Try it sometime and then get back to me.

[BRADP2]

Look at his hip position, if thats not paralell, I've been doing quarter squats. :confused:

Thanks.

If your weakness or sticking point is the first half of the lift, from the floor to knees, then it should help. However, I do the zercher deadlift mostly for hamstring strength.

BRADP2: Exactly. The squat pic clearly shows that I was parallel.

How did I get "stapled" by the squat?
It was too much weight, you wernt strong enough, Thats how.

im going to frank, you got pinned major,your spotter lifter a good 15% of that weight,and if he didnt why did he have to replace his foot to get leverage if he wasnt helping? Denie it if you want but its too much weight, im no flaming you at all but i think you should really consider doing some low box squats. Granted this is a big improvement form your 300 lb squat vid it needs more work. Also just a quick question, if the spoter wasnt helping you, why do you even have a spotter? your in a power rack...

In my opinion you need to start training to get stronger not to stroke your ego.

You don't need to believe me, but that's the truth. There was no assistance, whatsoever. His foot placement changed because he wasn't close enough to provide a proper spot. One should have a spotter regardless of whether one is outside or inside of a squat rack for safety purposes.

Post your phone book tearing results in your journal. Also, try to look and see how many pages are in it and/or measure the thickness with a ruler.

My FBBC order hasn't arrived yet but I did get my bolt cutters in the mail today. I already cut two pieces of 3/16" steel down to 4.5" and very slightly under 4.0" (I was trying to cut one to exactly 4.0" and came very close to what I wanted.)

yellow nail (7" x 1/4") - 0 <= I don't think I had enough strength left after the first four bends. Hopefully, I can bend it after a couple of warmup pieces, next time.

Here is a pic of the 3.87" x 3/16" piece:Good stuff man, haveyou read that Dieselcrew article on bending? If you havnt you gotta check it out i went from barley bendin a yellow to destroying one once i found the form that was good for me.

Also dont foget to do some levering use a sledge hammer or a dumbell. Front levering back levering etc.

Yeah, I read that article shortly after it was posted on their website.

The sledge levering is a good way to get better at bending but it's been a while since I did it. I will definately be doing more of that soon.

Nice Deadlifts. Do you usually deadlift only once a month?

I try to deadlift once per week but the college weight room was closed for a while so I wasn't able to deadlift. BTW, I'm attempting a 420x2 deadlift, next pull day. I will post video of it unless my form sucks.

Halfway: No, but I'm going to try to do a bench press video, later today.

Lookin good.

just a few things i noticed;

you seem to be weak off your chest, and your bar speed is pretty slow.

Pause press
speed work
practice leg drive
work lats
pin presses
bodybuilder bench press(arms flaired to target chest)
Cambered bar bench with 2 board

should help take care of that.

also i noticed your legs shaking quiet a bit in the lift, i think if you tuck your legs back it might take care of this, Becuase you need to stay tight.

Also have you even considered arching? that might help your off the chest strength.

Cause this si what i dont like seeing, is people trying to muscle the weight and not stay in groove, powerlifting requirs alot of technique.

Dont mean to pry just a few things i think wil help your lifting :).

Thanks for the advice. You are definately correct. My lockout strength is great but I need to work on the start of the lift from my chest.

He doese.

Hes wearing a belt to stay tight and keep in groove, or help try to atleast :D:);)

I almost always have the spotter's hands on the bar when handling heavy poundage for the rare situation where I lose control of the bar. It's a safety precaution.

I'm wearing a belt because I read in 'The Kennelly Method' that I should use it when I bench press and my training partner agrees with the 800lb bench press specialist.

I admit that the lowering of the first rep should've been slower but the lowering of the second rep was better.

[big_baller]

sorry can't take this... The bench clip was too far.

I've stayed out of your journal for a long time, but you need to take my advice here.

Bench....

First of all, the spotter was too close... he was touching the bar for most of the time... no lift. There's a close spot and there's a 2 man bench and that was a 2 man bench.

Watch your legs... they shake around like crazy, you need to stay controlled otherwise you can pull your back out.

The decent on the first rep went down too fast.... you tried bouncing it and that was very dodgey. Oldtime....that comment about physics...just don't. In fact it looked as if it was thrown down. You need to bring it out... get yourself set then start the decent...otherwise you'll throw your shoulders out.

Your right on the belt point....however i don't think you need to stay tight with the weights your using... bring the belt in when you get a good clean 250 bench.

Your ass also came off the bench.

I thought your spotter looked experienced with his arms...but then i saw his legs sooo it made a little more sense.

If i was you, i'd drop the weight to about 210 and do a nice clean double with that and work up again... take this day as a learning experience and even if you know you can do the weight... please just drop the weight and do it properly.

I disagree with you on various issues.

It was not a "2 man bench" because he only gave me a little assistance with the second rep and his fingertips were barely grazing the bar during the whole set.

I'm NOT dropping to a double with 210 because I've done that in the past and I don't repeat the same poundage with the same amount of reps. I did 205x4 the last time that I did the flat barbell bench press which was about three weeks before the one that I just did.

I didn't try to -intentionally- bounce the bar. That happened because my descent was too fast.

I watched and re-watched the video numerous times and my ass does not leave the bench.

Now you're talking trash about my training partner? That's not cool, especially considering that he probably uses your 1RM squat as his warmup weight and goes beyond parallel with every rep.

[big_baller]

pffft leave my squat out of this.

define a 2 man bench.....yes a bench done by two people...if he touched the bar..then the bench was done by two people...correct?

Your decent was fast... correct it.

your legs moved around soo much... why?

Show me a bench clip of you doing 205x4 in a rack...without a spot.

[ChuckTaylor]

Back the weight off 20%.
Learn to plant your feet.
Do the reps on your own.

[Danimal]

You can see the spotters arms tensing- he's assisting with the lift. You have a ton of form issues but I won't offer any advice since you have indicated in the past that you don't want it. Once again, I'll say that all of us with the exception of the kids who hang from your balls would be WAY more impressed with you if you checked your ego at the door and used a weight you could do with good form and in control.

On the floor press- it was hard to see because of the plates- do your triceps come in contact with the floor before the bar hits the rack pins? If not, thats not really a floor press. You want your triceps to rest/pause on the floor and then press up, with the weight being held the entire time, not resting on the rack pins.

Oldtime- the comments about physics are way wrong. You want the descent slower and in complete control so you can touch the bar exactly where you want. Then pause, and explode up. Going down fast is not going to let you control the bar and when you pause, you lose any momentum you gained in the 1st place.

Right, you have to waste force slowing it down that you could otherwise put towards pressing it up.

Actualy it is true thought, George halbert westside videos... :).
Now granted he shouldnt be doing this because it isnt speed work, if its the wayhe wants to bench i dont care. Because we've all all seen what has happened in the past when we tryed to get him to change his form.

Watched the bench press clip. You're spotter was close, but that was not a two-man bench. Descent was too fast in my opinion, but the first rep was decent. It does not look assisted, though the spotter did keep his hands touching the bar. You should probably ask him to make sure he follows the bar and keep his hands just under it instead. Would make it less controversial, at least on video. The second rep was assisted on the bottom, so I don't think that would count as a 225x2 bench. It was 225x1+1Assist. I do think you are pretty close to doubling 225 though. I think you should try to keep your elbows in a bit more and go a bit lower on your chest, which would allow you to use more triceps strength, since you are weak off the chest it may help. Good try for 225x2 either way. You'll get it soon.

It was a two man bench on the sceond rep definatly.
Descent was extremely fast he didnt even pause when he unracked it.
It doese look assisted.

Yes, the second pin is the lowest setting that would be possible for my particular body. My triceps were literally about half an inch above the ground at the start of the lift. If I do another floor press video, I will try to get a better angle to remove any doubts.

Oldtime: I never said that my spotter did not assist me during the second rep, but he didn't do the rep for me. He helped me a little with my sticking point (just above the chest) but not much more than that.

When have you ever given me advice which I did not take? You gave me suggestions to help my strength from the chest and I thanked you for it. What's your problem?

That would be an ideal lift to use the spotter then. You want your upper arm to rest/pause on the floor, not have the bar rest on the pins. I have the same issue with my cage here at home, the bottom pin is just a little too high to do it right.

[BPP]

yeah, when you bring the bench out from rack, pause a second to show control at the top, and have a controlled descent

like PL said, elbows in a bit and lower(i go to upper ribs/lower pecs) and it'll help some too...and even if its heavy, keep your feet planted and STILL! drive up with them, not dance around, keeps you better stabilized to push through it :)

viking press->not bad, has to be weird with the thick grip tho...try using the support handles, alot of viking press nowadays is the barbell type handle anymore

Would it not be more difficult when starting from the pins because there is no momentum to help me? That's what I always thought.

Will floor presses help my bench press, considering my weak point is from the chest or a little higher than the chest?

BPP: Thanks for the advice, officer. :)

Doing it from the pins makes it more like a pin press than a true floor press. You could get the same effect by laying on the bench with the pins set to stop the bar the same place you are stopping by doing them on the floor. The only thing you gain by doing it on the floor is taking leg drive out of the equation. The floor press is supposed to do just that- take your legs out, but you really should do them so your upper arm hits the ground. They are just as hard when you do them that way, and you have to control the weight the entire time. Resting on the pins takes the load off of you and puts it on the rack.

How far down the bar comes to your chest will determine what range the floor press will help. If you are thin and have long forearms, it might be like a 3 board press. In that case, they aren't going to work the bottom end for you. For me the bar stops about an inch from my chest. If thats where it stops for you, then yes, they will work your bottom end. Floor press is good because you really need to use your delts and triceps to get the bar up. For off the chest, there are other lifts you can do that are just as good- pause press, db bench with palms facing, cambered bar press, extra wide grip bench. (don't max on those, keep the sets to 5 or so). Working your traps and lats hard will help too, if nothing else but to give you a stronger base and some extra thickness which will reduce your range of motion.

[DieselWeasel]

I don't have access to bands but I can do speed and pause work.

Danimal: OK, thanks for the tips.

[Halfway]

I wonder if you'd take my advice

Drop the weight to 180 and lose the spotter. Go down nice slow, tense your lats and keep tight, touch for a second then fire the weight up and back in a slight arc. Keep your feet planted and you dont need to use a belt.

:)

I'm not lowering the weight when I bench press, maybe when I do other exercises such as pause press, speed bench, floor press, pin press, etc.

You're not supposed to bring the weight up and back in an arc.

[AJ010]

No offense bro, but I do have to admit that bench form wasn't beautiful. You didn't display the best form. You need to hold the weight at the top when you first unrack it for at least a second. You pulled a "swollix", which is defined as dropping the weight instantly. Don't come down as fast either. As for the spotter's hands, that's not a good explanation you gave in my opinion. You will be just as safe with the spotter's hands a few inches below the bar. Don't have the spotter touching the bar. Listen to everyone else's advice though. Not flaming you bro, I'm just telling you what I think.

BTW CapnSeaMonkey(Yeah, that ***got reading this journal from FI), I never said his dl form was impeccable. I also definately did not say he could pull 455 for a double. Stop pulling **** out of your ass, cocksucker. And compare his 350x3 deadlift video to his 405x4 deadlift video. You can CLEARLY see he has improved. If you deny that, especially because the evidence is clear and right in front of you, then you are one ignorant *******.

Thanks for the objective analysis. Yeah, I definately need to improve my descent speed and strength from the chest. I will be sure to tell my spotter not to have his hands on the bar, but very close to it.

Those FI bitches never quit, do they?

If you're gonna post any more bench videos, I would just keep the spotters hands a good few inches from the bar. Very close to the bar will look like touching on video.

Dynamic Effort Bench, 1 and 2 board presses, reverse grip bench, CG bench, Incline Bench, CG incline, Decline, floor press, CG floor press, pause bench, etc. Vary up your exercises. Throw some of those in for assistance too.

"this kid" ? I'm three years older than your punk ass.

Go the hell back to your ****ty board.

You're both correct. I don't accept "help" from people that make posts such as, "I hope he breaks his spine" etc.

Read the past three or four pages in this training journal and tell me that I don't accept the help of people who are not total pricks, such as yourself.

I say "kid" because you are one of the most immature people I have ever had the disprivelige of sharing this little microverse we call the internet. I've taken dumps that have had more intelligence. You just added fuel to the fire by leaving a negative rep with the comment of "**** you bitch", yeah real mature.

I never left a comment that said, "I hope this guy breaks his spine". In fact, if you went back and looked at the criticism I left you, then you would realize that it was actually constructive, out of all of the people bashing you I offered some advice, out of kindness and generosity. But it looks like you're never going to use it, so have fun kid.

What the hell are you talking about? Watch both videos, and you will CLEARLY see the difference. He hitches MUCH less in the 405x4 video. It's painfully obvious that he has improved. I really don't know how else I can put it to you, if you can not see it with your own eyes...

If he fails to understand the lesson you try to teach him, then that's his own fault and suffering.

Your so right, I dont know what Im talking about at all about this. I have more mass in my leg than you have in your whole small frail body. My numbers are 200+ pounds heavier than yours and I've done extensive research on exercsie science.

Did I mention I could snap your happy skinny ass like a twig? If you are so keen on being the billy badass you think you are I suggest you come to a pl meet and put up or shut up.

I'll be in NY in Oct. be my guest and show up :)

btw.. I know 12 yr old girls that bench more than you!

1) FI is a very quality lifting board, with lots of big names and very educated lifters
2) FI the user also knows a ****load and is a strong mofo
3) if you and US just sit here and go back and forth bashing FI, you should expect them to come post
4) capnseamonkey is a friend of mine
5) FI never said he hopes you break your spine
6) i try not to take sides here...your in good shape, and have some decent strength bro...the problem is just your attitude towards people, and just somehow when you post it just comes off as if you're quite cocky sometimes. i think thats possibly what causes some of the problems *shrug*

3) That one applies to me. I was surfing FI weeks ago, and saw comments posted by a particular member there degrading me. I probably wouldn't have mentioned anything about FI in this journal at all, had it not been for that comment
4) I brought him up because he brought me up
6) I will be honest. DW does have an attitude and does seem to neglect the help he's given, but with all the **** he puts up with it must get to him.

Whatever. I thought FI was a site that wasn't gonna turn into bb.com. Apparently it's heading in that direction, and fast, with all of the flaming threads, negative comments, ...yea. I'm still cool with you proppy, but that's just how I feel.

I could care less if I'm banned from your site. Bb.com is the ****!

Keep comments about me off your board.

If that helps you sleep at night, then you think that.

Why don't you go date girls off the internet some more? They're the only girls you could ever get with..

bpp: The only reason that I mention FI in this training journal is because of the fact that those scumbags continue to talk trash about me, months after I was banned from that board. The DW obsession people have over there is almost scary.
