I don't think I have the bicep/forearm strength to sit it on my trap and still get max from the leg drive. | ||

I don't think I have the bicep/forearm strength to sit it on my trap and still get max from the leg drive. Have you tried sitting on the traps, if you haven't I'd try it because I think you'd actually get more leg drive because the dumbbell will be in contact with you whereas with this technique it's not really supported against your shoulder and it looks like your losing balance as you push. | ||

Member 2490, 3589 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 230530.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | I'm impressed the way you throw around a 60kg dumbbell considering your bench is 112 (i'm guessing you don't train bench much) that was a compliment not an insult btw just in case it came across that way | ||
