I have always had a pretty good grip, and maybe that is part of the reason. But I started milking cows when I was 6 or 7, and I know that has a lot to do with it.

More then 32 years for me, and not so much the exercises, but some of the workouts I have tried over the years (Mostly 25+ years ago!) really sucked. I have tried the twice per day workouts, 20+ sets...

I will talk about the things I did while in the Delta Forces. Even though is was 25 years ago, I can still scare them very badly. And I very seldom have to show them how good a shot I am with my 330...

This can happen day to day, let alone over a week. When one goes on or off Creatine, they can gain, or lose 4-10# in a week.

Unless there were certified Judges, this would be very easy to manipulate the video tape time codes, and even the number of reps, not to mention the weight issues.
However, I am not saying he may...

I will pay anyone $100 if they can tip my full cage rack over, and it is not bolted down in any way. It ain't going to happen without a cutting torch, or tools to take it apart. (I don't care how big...

So the bench press is the set standard because it is safe? Then why do all the experts say to NEVER do bench press without a good spotter, or safety rack if it is so safe? More lifters get killed...

If you are refering to the Model 554 Ironman, then I to have it. And I know the reading is high, (In my case probably closer to 1-2% high.) but it is very consistent when all things are kept...

Thanks for the information. I have a 4 post full power rack that you can walk through, And after more then a dozen years of free standing, there is no sign of it being unstable. Mine is a different...

You are 100% correct! The only exercise that seems to count is the one I am best at. The Bench press is the standard to determain ones strength, and it has been for atleast the last 40 years. When I...

For those that don't count the bar as part of the weight you lift. If someone ask you how much you can do in an exercise for a max. Do you then count the bar, or use a 10-15% fudge factor? ;)

The thumbless grip might be fine for the warm up sets, but I can't see anyone doing heavy shrugs with a thumbless grip, or high pulls, or bent over rows, or dead lifts. But then the key word is...

I guess I am either dumb, or old School, because I never use belts or grip supports while lifting.

I have the Ironman M554 by Tanita, and it is very good, and repeatable. I paid $69 for it a couple months ago, it is now $125. Maybe mine isn't as good :)

I find that the body fat reading on it...

You're right, My leg pree sled is 75# with on weight on it, but I have never included that in my lifts. Also my calf machine has a 3 to 1 ratio, yet if I place 200# on it, I don't say I use 600#. Yet...

Because most of us can't lift a 50 lb'er ;)

It probably has to do with the fact that Olympic plates started out in the International competitions, then moved to the US. And they were all metric...

Why should BBing be any different then any other job? If you or I get caught selling illegal drugs we would get arested. And body builders are no different! If it is illegal, then it is illegal,...

Congrats! But if this personal best, why did you think it would not be heavy?
By the way, it was just over a 1/4 ton, so it should not have helt like a ton ;)

Because it is so rare that maybe one in a million can do it without Squats.
Deads are good, and that is it, just good. Squats are the best overall exercise of them all period....

I would guess...

Yea, and a mighty fine Babe at that! Oh, you said baby! ;)
