because you can't see it while you train and a lot of people - both pros and just average lifters - find it hard to actually feel contraction in their back

the guy was a stripper and screwed a grapefruit on camera

It's obviously a full body lift but you'd be surprised how much one can manipulate what muscles are activated the most. Thus I can see it being used on a leg day or a back day.

Personally I think...

didn't Ronnie lose a ton of size going in to the 02 olympia? he got sick or something like that

damn that's the best heavy benching I've seen since levrone at his prime

Yeah agreed I wish he would bring his hands in closer together. It's like the pose isn't complete the way he hits it.

yep

he's just so much thicker and wider than Phil he overwhelms him

he tore his right bicep

the difference is the way he's holding his hands

Nice to see an NPC competitor sponsoring a natty event.

sure it's impressive but if he's enhanced then it's hardly otherworldly

that being said he's not very strong so I would assume he's natty... thus yes, I am impressed

impressive for a natty... if he's a user then lol

Branch was bigger and better conditioned than Dex and was the most symmetrical and proportional he's ever been

I don't understand how anyone could think that Dex was robbed...

so you currently training back chest and arms twice a week and legs and shoulders once? fix that

the other split is really bad to be honest man... having a whole day dedicated to triceps and...

sure

if you round your back like all hell and then downshrug at the top of the movement then yes, deadlifts are a good back movement

good luck not slipping a disk though

the primary movers are the quad, hamstrings and glutes, that's my point



this is true, but I'm generalizing. Obviously form can be adapted to focus on the upper or lower back but generally...

as I said, it does MORE for legs than back because the muscles that actively MOVE the weight are the quads, glutes, and hamstrings

what?

the primary mover on squats is the legs (quad dominant obviously) just like the primary mover on deadlifts is the legs (hip dominant)

Okay let me explain.

Right off the floor is the power is primarily quads.
The middle of the movement is primarily hamstrings.
Lockout is primarily glutes.

The spinal erectors stabilize the...

pulldowns aren't lat dominant because of the angle. Just look at someone doing a pulldown and the flexion... it's almost entirely in the upper back, not the lats.

Rows on the other hand are...

coming off the floor the primary mover is the quads
middle of the movement is primarily hamstrings
top of the movement/lockout is glutes

the spinal erectors provide support but are not the...
