Why i do wot?!?

i did back then bicep then back then bicep that way ill hit biceps a bit more fresh rather than at the end after all the back stuff

wont do it for chest/tricep tho. that chest pump. gotta keep the chest pump

[AlacrityH]

Lol if I curl before I do pullups then there goes dat sweet pullup strength. I think thats what MW is referring to.

[MikeWines]

But you're going to limit your back strength by preexhausting your arms?

[hostelmaniac]

I did pull ups and then alternating dumbbell curls

But you're going to limit your back strength by preexhausting your arms?

My arms are a weakpoint and my back isn't so id rather alternate between the two so i can hit my biceps a bit more fresh

How can people deadlift with such rounded backs? all the top powerlifters do it.


I know its upper back rounding and not lower back. but how can you tell when your lower back is rouding?

[MikeWines]

^The thoracic spine (upper back) should have a natural 20-40° curve depending upon the person/lifter. In this instance, they have learned how to shorten the ROM required for the lift by improving the length of their arms (not actually lengthening their bones, but merely protracting their scaps around their ribcage and slightly rounding/maintaining that thoracic curve.)

It looks like they're rounding tremendously but in fact I would wager that some folks hyperextending their t-spine during deadlifts (I used to actually so I have a general idea of what it feels like to have your vertebrae slamming together under load. haha)

[doughnutgut]

Omarsmurf has a youtube video lately regarding the rounded upper back in a powerlifters ROM on dreadlift.

He speaks about packing your lats into your pocket. The rounded back reduces the range of motion for the lift giving the competitor a larger advantage.

On phone but will embed later if you want.

Yeah i've seen the video

And i understand all of it, but how do they know when their lower back has rounded? (or how would i know)

Their liwer bacj is nit going to round if they
(pack the lats into the pocket)

This is meaning that they are pushing down so hard during the start and keeping that same tightness basically renders a lower back round impossible.

Ymmv though.
