Shack VI: Airror's House Of Pancakes (AHOP)

Hmm ill have to give decline skulls a shot either this session or next. Im trying to come up with with either two different routines and/or two different rep ranges to alternate between.

The last few weeks I've been doing reverse curls and btb wrist curls. Hammer curls are usually included in my arm workouts more often than not, which actually have helped my grip over time, though my primary focus is arm/forearm size - I'm not too concerned with my grip.

Ever tried using a wrist roller? You might like it. I've seen some size gain after I started doing 3 sets to failure.

Not for many, many years.

Between all the arm and back work I do, I've never really needed to put too much emphasis on extra forearm work. Actually the main reason I started doing reverse curls was to loosen up my forearms - they were getting a bit stiff (no edit). Figured I might as well throw in some btb wrist curls too while I was at it.

This ^ Not that my forearms are huge or anything, but I've never had a problem with grip strength; even with no direct forearm work.

I believe this is because your grip strength mainly comes from the tendons in your forearms rather than the muscles.

Had Trutein chocolate covered strawberry whey with milk for breakfast this morning.

Initially I give it chalky/10, but after drinking it longer I realized it had honest to god chocolate bits in it, so I think the chalkiness could possibly have been chocolate powder that didn't mix with the milk? Anyone else had this whey?

Cookies 'n' Cream Myofusion only gets 7.5/10 in milk, maybe an 8. Maybe it's better in water.

It wasn't so bad! Why is everyone complaining. He took things straight out of the 10 slides from the last PowerPoint...

[Blizzard589]

Sidenote: how many of you guys go spotter-less on squats and just dump the bar when you fail?

I don't think I've ever had a spot for squats... That's what the rack is for.

Another reason America is better than every other cuntry.

lawlz wtf

I think if he wanted to peg me as black he would've put me in a Cadillac with 24" rims.

It was ugly, mate, you don't want to know.

Nah, I'm pretty sure I did terrible.

It wasn't so bad! Why is everyone complaining. He took things straight out of the 10 slides from the last PowerPoint...

Questions 1 and 2 weren't bad, I guess. Computations in 2 took for ****ing ever.

But oh, question 3 & 4... why u do dis??

What answers did you get for 3 and 4? I wasn't even able to finish them. And I forgot the volume of a cylinder. Kill me nowe

I'm just gonna stick to stone loading since I lift at a strongman gym. U mad?

Yes, mad. haha My gym sucks.

There is, however, a fairly large parking space behind the gym's garage where they could easily store things like a prowler, strongman ****, etc. They're just lazy and don't want to get new equipment.

Jelly as phuck.

Maybe I try zerchers tomorrow.

BTW LU, I saw you recommended a wrist roller. I would only do that if it was mounted to a rack, they're pretty much pointless otherwise because you can't use enough weight. But if they're mounted, they kick ass, I would JIMP if I had one setup at my place.
