You get a good shot of the powerbelly. Plus, what kind of dickhead lifts rocks barefooted? | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Post Edited: 15.09.2007 @ 16:32 PM I've been practicing on the same rock since the other day. Now that I've got used to handling the stone my reps are flying up.I'm hoping for 10 by this time next week.  http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jH-oaRqPMUc&mode=user&se... Just watching the vid again, my left arm doesn't lock out very well (even when I feel in control of the weight  ) | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | The hat has an invisible force field Don't worry, I didn't count that last half rep as a full rep. Glad you reckon that my left arm is locked out OK. BTW, I reckon because of the potential danger, you've got to be thinking of when you are going to drop the weight with an overhead rock press for reps. Balls to the wall failure can be kept for deadlift hold or something  | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Cheers Olly!! Yeah I'm doing various bits of training. I've done lots of deadlifting recently including 'rack' pulls, platforms and regular DLs. Upper body, I've done lots of OH pressing including: tricep bar presses (in an attempt to replicate the log), regular barbell presses and single arm dumbbell presses. Upper back: Regular and single arm barbell rows. I've gotta say that I've not been squatting. I've got no excuses either.    | ||
