| Thanks posting this vid very educational.my brother died in 2007 from smoking heroine for the first time,he was addicted to cannabis and other stuff I do not understand,when he was alive I wanted to lock him in a room and make him go cold turkey,but never really thought the drugs would kill him,wish I had just done more to help him,ultimately he made his own choices,I think after I moved away he got worse,even though we had the same harsh upbringing i went one way he went the other,he had a very miserable existence in his last year or of life,which I was unable to help him.worse he could not help himself. | |||

VinnyJones said: Generally speaking, most of your work should be based around squatting, deadlifting and over head pressing. Pick a day for each during the week. Then set aside a day for some heavy strongman stuff and a day for some speedy strongman stuff to refine technique. It's pretty much my new routine. Now when I say squatting, don't do the same squat each week. Rotate it. Front squat, high bar, zercher, with chains, with bands etc. Same as deadlifting; coventional, sumo, deficit, RDL, SLDL, trap bar. Pressing would be OHP, push press, Savickas press, pin press, DB, incline. Go heavy on those lifts each week with triples. Then for assistance drop weight to 60/70% and do a 5/3/1+ set. 5 reps. Then 3. Then go all out for a PR. Choices are endless mate but that's how I set up these days. This is great thank you I'm gonna write it down and set it out and get cracking thank again :-) | |||

Haha my gym is full of random conversationalists, one guy there randomly said to me I thought I'd lift more today,to which I replied politely why is that,good night sleep,a juicey steak for tea perhaps,imagine my surprise when he lifted his sun glases to reveal two of the biggest pupils I've ever seen they were like dinner plates he then informs me that he did a line of coke in the early hours lol, PS another gear grinder sunglasses in the gym why? Lol | |||

AMH_Power said:This is my non-exhaustive list of s**t that rages me in the gym, I don't know if i'm over aggressive, or if it's like squat snobbery, but here it is: 1)Hair gel in the gym 2)Fake tan in the gym 3)A combination of 1+2 with roids, with a lack of actual training. 4)a combination of 1+2+3 while spending all time in the mirror and not squatting. 5)People that curl in the squat rack 6)Anything other than squats in the squat rack 7)Squats on a smith machine 8)In fact, anything on a smith machine 9)Calf raises 10)Calf raises on a smith machine 11)Calf raises on a smith machine; this needed to be here twice. 12)Half squats 13)False aggression 14)People that stare at me, without fail ends in confrontation 15)People that think I'm staring at them, ends in confrontation 16)People that take up two different stations to 'superset' 17)people with no need that do all sorts of crazy s**t that they aren't gaining from, more specifically a lack of squats. 18)People with 'bad knees' as an excuse for not doing legs. 19)Bro spots and 'all you buddy' squats 20)People that approach me and tell me about their brothers uncles dad that benches 250 for reps... obviously true. 21)People that ask me what I'm taking, as opposed to how do I train. 22)People that put s**t music on 23)People that go out of their way for bigger version discs of the same weight so they look like pro's 24)Cross fitters wearing oly shoes or lifting belts. Cross Fitters/Dressers is just a fashion, it's not a sport. f**king glam lifting. Infact I here denounce it's new name to PowerGlaming. 25)Calf raises on a smith machine Brilliant can't really disagree with any of that although I find working calves useful for yoke and cleans to get power.Powerglam priceless :-) :-) :-) | |||
