Anthony21's Non-Stop Endeavor for Strength

[Anthony21]

Man you just blew my mind with that foam roller. It was only recently I thought to myself if i had something under my lumbar to help me arch more and dig my traps in more it would be great. Then you come on and post that haha. In saying that do I was thinking more of using the foam roller while performing with working sets. Never seen or heard of that done before do.

I was noticing your squat speed aswell and thought you were going really slow bodybuilding style but the guys above have it covered. You dont have to go really fast, just faster. I dont really get why you would lose your tightness do. Just remember everything you got to do before you unrack and do it. Strong session man.

Hahaha well glad I did the video. I wouldn't personally recommend it on working sets. I only use it on my warm up sets.

I agree about my squat being slow on the decent and will make this a priority to work on and progress.

Great workout Ant!! congrats on the PR's and solid vids!!

Thanks Snake.

Be great if you could use something like that on working sets do. Getting flat on the traps is tricky for me.

It's a constant work in progress for sure. My benching and form have come a long way since I first started this log. My arch is getting to where I want it to be but still, it's a constant progression no matter what level you're at.

yeah bro, always lift up to squat never pull down. if of course it isnt just perfect height for you like the 4 dudes i see at the gym occasionally

Finally got a chance to see the arch video. Good stuff, I'll try it out tomorrow before my bench day. Also, I know I asked you this before but what gym do you lift at? It seems incredibly clean/quiet.

I'll set the pins lower on Wednesday when I squat next. I'll also work on speeding up my descent.

Let me know how it works for you man. I lift at Anytime Fitness. It's a small gym in an L shape. You see the same faces there and never really gets crowded.

I've never bought anything on Cyber Monday before so I have nothing to compare it to, but I'll take 20%. What does Gaspari have?

G'all Dern!

Strong everywhere bro.

Can't wait to jump on that 5x5 train!

I used to use a Squat Sponge, got ridiculed for it, dumped it and noticed major pain for a week and then got used to raw bar. Feels better actually having bar closer to your body. Speed on squat will help you - make sure to blast out of the hole. I think maybe that 260x5 would have been easier for you with faster motions.

Do you mean the pussy pad? I've never heard it called a sponge before

I'll definitely work on speeding up my decent. I think you're right about the 260 being easier with a quicker drop.

I was getting ready to post this exact same thing. Maybe the squat sponge is some type of contraceptive for powerlifters???

[thom2355]

i was getting ready to post this exact same thing. Maybe the squat sponge is also known as a power gut????

ftfy

[ktj4l]

[Anthony21]
