Hit 75x6/70x7/70x5 on DB Bench tonight (2 weeks ago I lifted 70x7, 65x8, 65x7). Gym is very busy.

nice work! i recently passed my plateau on incline db's as well.

[ShagsJX]

So tired of the gym full of tards doing abs and other dumb crap on the bench press... I need to find a real gym planet fitness is garbage.

[JRemix]

nice work! i recently passed my plateau on incline db's as well.

Thanks.

My 75lb db bench was flat bench not incline. What can you do on DB flat bench, 90s? Also, how big are your arms cold at 140? My 1 year goal is 140-143@ 10-12% with 14.5+ inch arms. Deadlift is currently 285x6.

275 bench is crazy for 140 (saw your thread)

When I am going sumo I start stiff legged, grab the bar then pull my hips down. I try to keep them as high as possible while getting my upper body into the right position.

Ok, I use the same set up/ technique... man o man do i hate DLs...

nice. ive got to get in on that action. hammering tires ... so whats it do for you anyways? ive seen people do it before but just was like oooookay ... but now im curious. becuase your no douche. serious.

also, its a bodybuilding site. the pics will be suspect. some push the limit more than others .... but ... its par for the coarse.

for me, it's a combination of things working.
1. keep your pace up and you'll find yourself out of breathe faster than you realize. especially if you use good 'form' (notice i try to throw the hammer head up far above my head. i've seen videos where people barely clear their shoulder)
2. it works the upper back, if you keep your abs tight your core, arms, shoulders, forearms, and my hands. my hands were cramping the first few days after use.
3. anger management. seriously. just beating the **** out of that tire made me feel better.

and if nothing else, it's a different style of training. diversity is a deadly weapon when it comes to training techniques.

Met a bodybuilder yesterday. He is also a trainer. I'm thinking about meeting up with him for a few sessions just to learn something. Good idea?

Eating 2900 cal a day now for muscle gains after 2700 wasn't enough food. It's been a week and lifts are increasing so we'll see how it goes in another 3-4 weeks.

ask questions all the time. IMO do it, but with a skeptical view.

edit- anyone else follow Lyle's rapid fat loss diet?

Sharp pain in my left forearm today after arm day, "forearm splints?" It has been happening to me for the past month but I keep pushing through it, Its never hurt this bad the next day though.

Biceps are lacking, seems I can do rope curls without feeling the pain but when I touch an easy bar or dumbbell preacher curls I can barley hold the weight without feeling the pain.

Should I just take a break (would hate to stop doing arms cause they are small)? Or do the exercises that dont hurt? Can I see gains off rope curls?

rope curls (i'm assuming neutral grip) are similar to a hammer curl. they'll help build your bicep but they're not going to create the round, peak look everyone goes for.
I'd let you body recover... maybe try to stretching your wrists and forearms prior to any arm training. (or maybe some forearm specific training. i don't believe in this as i find it a waste of time but in your case it might be beneficial to helping alleviate your pain)
as far as your arms being small... they're going to get a workout on back day, chest day, shoulder day etc. they won't grow as much as they would with specific training but they certainly won't shrink provided you're doing the basic compound movements for back, chest, shoulders etc.

and the trick to big arms isn't a big bicep, it's a big tricep.... the bicep gets all the glory but the tricep is actually the bigger muscle.

do dumbbell exercises cause pain? if not i'd stick to those.... do the same curls you would with a bar just use dumbbells... it'll allow your wrists to move more naturally rather than being locked in a fixed position. I had to do this for a while (and still do every now and then) when my tendonitis acts up in my wrists.

Thanks for the info. I have some wrist problems also, I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and I have lost some range of motion in my arms and especially my left wrist, (some what in my legs also but nothing too bad) so im kind of pick and choose with working my arms, If I do straight bar curls my left wrist feels like its going to fall apart when I set the bar down, I didnt have these problems with the easy bar, but now with the easy bar I get the forearm pain. I can do most dumbbell exercises without pains.

Ive been working my triceps pretty had and I feel they have seen alot of gains im just missing that bicep peak I so desperately want.

Hell yeah!

Yeah and I'm deloading every 6 weeks to ensure I dont plateau/burn out!

Guys check out this thread: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=150573813

5"5 brah says he went from 113lbs lean to 145lbs lean in 1 month. Not even possible with cellular technology.

[KevJr88]

Even if he is "on", those are still great gains. Cell tech doesnt magically give you muscles. You still have to put in the work, have the diet, have the motivation etc.

I agree with you guys, good mass gains. But no one (on or off) goes from 113lbs to 145lbs muscular in 1 month. That's what he's saying he did.

If it is cell tech, much of it could be water retention.

Well you can gain thirty pounds, but not thirty pounds of muscle, not in a month, six months, a year on tech.
