But for the guys that go to a gym often, it wouldn't go astray to speak to a trainer and get them to show you the correct form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under 10kg to go to make into 125kg powerlifting weight class. Also means the 135kg bench I did on Friday is a pb, not an overall pb but bw% pb. Deadlifts tomorrow, bring it on! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't need straps on 240kg, just chalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STAINLESS again plz You've changed man....

Ask Staino, never got him to lift super heavy, but still gained size.I dont know anything but personally would prefer, for now, to lift a "little" lighter but concentrate on perfect technique to isolate the muscle group. I found going too heavy id end up using the wrong muscles to push the weights. Like end up using my I <3 Bananas ear muscles to move the pec deck.If Im doin a tricep excercise I like to leave it with my triceps knowing they just got worked not my elbow joints and lower back.

A mate of mine reckons if you smash through the reps its better? Ive always thought that going slower is better? You 'feel' it more.. Recently I've been mixing it up, for like bicep curl, raise the weight at norma speed, but slowing it down on the way down, it fuggin burns lol..

STIFLR Donating Members 572 Member For: 16y 13d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 24/07/12 12:34 AM Share Posted 24/07/12 12:34 AM Yeah it does, rest periods is another crucial factor. I wouldn't smash through the reps though. That type of training you said Mike is Time Under Tension training, it works well for me but bloody hurts!!The set should go for 45sec to a minute, min of 12 reps and 3-5sec negatives then explode up, then a 3min rest period. Its better to do it with a lighter weight as you really need to control the movement on the way down.Should only do it for say 3 weeks at a time though.
