Cowards Talk About What They'll Never Do

[CupcakeSquats]

Did you stop training your deadlift?

[Notjericoe]

Did you stop training your deadlift?

Yeah for now. Have some injuries that need to heal up.

Messed up the lower left side of my back but squats and bench don't bother it. I think it is about healed up by now.

Plus I want to test the notion of squats, front squats, and back work being able to increase your deadlift without deadlifting. I'll probably deadlift in about two weeks.

Plus plus I wanted to do 4x a week frequency on my squats and bench and that would be ****ed if I included deadlifts.

why did you decide to go beltless on all lifts

[Notjericoe]

Because my belt doesnt fit l0l.

Ive lost a lot of weight.

Ordered one from inzer and still waiting on it. Ive been training beltless for a couple of months now so it will be cool to see what happens when i throw one back on.

[Notjericoe]

Got my belt finally, gonna tear some **** up.

Keep up the good work, great job so far... Also i hate belts but that's just me i know they very beneficial and all but i don't know i think it might cause more harm than good in long term cause your body and back gets used to support, just my opinion

[Notjericoe]

Only gonna use it when I need it. There is no harm in a belt but beltless training is very beneficial.

Most of my sessions are very high volume and involve a lot of sets, so if I have to throw it on for the last set or two then I will.

Transitioning from high bar to low bar as well. Bar position is a btch to get down.

Well I've always been a low bar squatter. I just had a shoulder injury which left no mobility in my right shoulder. Had to switch to highbar for a bit and now it has become natural for me.

I'll be deadlifting next week after 4 weeks of no pulling. Let's see if it's true that tons of squatting will make your deadlift go up.

[AlacrityH]

Wanna see you test that hypothesis as well. Regardless, your front squat is coming along very nicely. You use clean grip or the cross grip?

Cross grip



Yeah my last big pull was 465lbs x 3 so let's see what I can hit.

[SmallLats]

Can refute squatting doesn't really help my dead. And I squat a lot..

yah br0 but do u front squat

Volume pr. These where really rough. I kept hitting the safeties which would turn easy reps into grinders. I couldn't find the mats I usually stand on the give me another 2-3 inches. Also the floor is uneven but laying the mats down ontop of it makes it flat. So basically I kept falling forward. The last was really nasty, was falling forward big time and I'm lucky my right calf didnt pop.

Paused Bench: bar x10, 95lbs x5, 135lbs x5, 165lbs x2, 205lbs x1, 225lbs x 3 x 8sets
