Although I trained TnG DLs, I dont bounced the weight. I dont like to make loud noises and definitely dont want attention to ne.

Were we still talking about DLs?

I'm sure you're doing it right bro

I once saw this kid deadlifting 315. He got the first rep up with a bit of effort. Then for the next five reps, he basically did a "controlled drop" to the strategically placed stretch mats and used the bounce to complete the rep ... facepalm.jpg

I do... I bang the **** out of the weights on DLs

[BIEN_DIESEL]

drop n bang the dl, specially doing 405lbs n up for sets n reps,

[Michael Bao]

There is nothing wrong with touch and go deadlifting where you bounce the weight. You are less prone to **** up your back doing it compared to resetting each rep.

Morning peeps

Great transformation bro. So what is your current goal?

my main goal is to have visible abs and tigthen up as much loose skin as i can right now. due to me shoulder injuries i don't really try to lift for strength anymore but i do have days here and there when i go heavier in the 4-6 rep range.

i enjoy cardio so two of my goals this summer is to do a non stop 100 mile bike ride and try to hit a 6 minute running mile, i'm at about a 7:15 right now.

Good progress man, going from mi dang to viet cong.

GL with your running goal, 6 minute mile is crazy.

[Boba_Bulk]

***....dat feelz you get all prepped for.squat day, pop preworkout caffeine, get to gym and someone is already using the only squat rack in the gym.

Oh man, I know dat feel. lol, I hate that.

The other thing I hate is when people tie up a specific set of equipment when there are other options. Especially when the other options are better anyway.

Example: This one franchise gym I go to is huge, has every bit of equipment you could ever ask for, multiples even. But for some reason at one location, they don't have a plain seated military bench/rack, but all their other locations do, but they are kinda far, so if I happen to be at this gym on shoulder day, I have to use the Smith machine to replicate seated military barbell presses. The thing is they got 4 smith machines, but they are always full. I can understand the women taking up the machines when they do their squats and stuff, the weight seems lighter and easier to control. But I don't understand these *******s that hog up the machines to do bench presses, when there are 4 open benches about 10 feet away.

Good progress man, going from mi dang to viet cong.

LOL mi dang to vc

I don't think I can do 6 minute mile, however, I ran 6 miles over the weekend.

this happened to me yesterday. one real squat rack and a military press rack that can be adjusted to squat in and both were in use. i was thoroughly rustled but someone left a 135lb barbell on the floor so i just did a few sets of RDL's while i waited for a squat rack, so wasn't a complete loss

Good job bro

Nice bro. Did you run on a treadmill or outside?



Morning baklas!!!

[Boba_Bulk]

So are kids just getting bigger and stronger these days? I'm not talking about the juiced ones. Are kids just getting naturally stronger? Because as I look around the gym I see some 16-21 yr olds that are just strong, and I'm not a hater, I'm not gonna accuse them of being juiced, I assume they are natty. But I remember in HS, there was only a few of us that could rep out 225 on the bench or could deadlift 5 plates. But I look around the gym today, a lot of the kids I see do that on a normal basis. Is it just the evolution of the generations? The more available knowledge of lifting? More people lifting in general? All of the above?

[nykwan]

Oh man, I know dat feel. lol, I hate that.

Yeah, hate people just hog machines. One time I had to wait for the benchpress cause an old guy was using it to stretch.
