1. Unaware. I thought they were the exact same thing.
2. Really can't know either way without a response from the person to whom I was replying to.
GMs are a worthy exercise, but for someone who already has history of fcking up their back, who will have already done heavy squats on the same day... GHRs sound like a smarter move imo.

Dear diary,
I have realized my conditioning tends more towards vascularity/graininess than a lot of separation. Which makes me somewhat of a sad panda, I think super deep muscle cuts look awesome, but I guess you just gotta live with the cards you are dealt. I was mirin' my chest today while lifting and it looked like it the skin was paper thin, add in lat veins, and a vein running through one of my shins(lolidunno) and I can't be too mad. It does push me to towards the conclusion(which I kind of already accepted) that I am structurally/genetically better built for competing in BB'ing rather than physique(if I ever decide to compete). I guess I can't be a no-legged ****gy man in board shorts.
Also my workouts have started reaching the point of getting disgustingly hard. I started a little lower in my 5RM estimations, but have been increasing weight aggressively(and ended up adding over 10 more sets per workout). After my workout today, I barely made it home before I passed out and took a one hour nap. It is now almost 3 hours after and I still feel like someone sapped every bit of energy out of me. Probably gonna push another 2 weeks before I deload(unless I get to the point where I feel completely done), but my angus is not peppered.
Hit 405x5 on rows(which was a short term goal) and incline pressed 125 DBs. Good day minus a squat which is increasing well, but sadly still far behind.
Thanks for listening diary.

Squatted 375 x 9 for four sets today (Smolov FML) and then followed that up with some pressing PRs: 225 x 10 followed by 245 for three sets of paused triples, then finished up by DB Benching 110 x 5 and 100 x 6. Obamanotbad.jpg
Because it's not a GHR.
I've still got 3 workouts left for Smolov and they're pretty daunting:
395 x 7 (5x)
415 x 5 (7x) <- fffuuuuuu
445 x 3 (10x) <- inb4 death
I will probably celebrate that last workout with an epic meal."Nutrition for powerlifting: If you are serious about it, you will eat f*cking everything and get strong as $hit." - HamburgerTrain

A natural GHR without a GHR is not a real GHR. A GHR is designed so you can do the movement without grinding your patella into a fine dust.
You can't do that on the floor."Nutrition for powerlifting: If you are serious about it, you will eat f*cking everything and get strong as $hit." - HamburgerTrain

To some extent yes. Granted arms tend to need some isos, but generally speaking unless correcting a muscle imbalance, I would rather go to a compound than an iso for the vast majority of hypertrophy work. This isn't to say that isolation movements do not stimulate growth but unless it is creating an imbalance I would rather multitask than sit around isolating a muscle in the gym that isn't undersized compared to the whole body, when I could be stimulating more overall development. Now if your triceps started to lag and your pecs and delts are outpacing them, then clearly doing a lot of isolation volume (as a bodybuilder of course) for triceps would be warrented.
For bodybuilding purposes: your heavy compounds, as long as you aren't a retard and doing tons of flyes and laterals thus shortchanging your triceps on chest and shoulder presses, and maybe some cgbp should handle your tricep development... if you are going to toss in an isolation movement (again for bodybuilding not powerlifting) pick something that at least puts a little focus on the long head as this is the most likely head to be lagging from doing tons of heavy pressing... so some type of stretch position movement (behind the head extention variations) or the decline skullcrusher address this.
I've said repeatedly skulls should be done with an Oly bar never an ez curl bar for the sake of your wrists, elbows and rotator cuffs.Last edited by JasonDB; 05-08-2012 at 03:06 AM.
