| bench ralls bar x loads 70 x 10 100 x 4 120 x 3 140 x 2 155 x 1 165 x 1 172.5 x 3 160 x 5 CGBP 130 x 8 135 x 8 triceps pushdowns 4 x 8 hard today that, wanted to go 177.5 x 3 for a small gym PB, but could tell from the 165 i wasn't on top form today. shoulder + previously torn pec aching, tired and montezuma's revenge from a chicken phaal left me a bit dehydrated. also, think i've reached a state of mild overreaching bench wise now and need a couple of weeks at about 80% intensity. | |||

SteBennett said: I've noticed this lately, which is strange as it seems more popular with the public than ever before PL is growing at a rapid pace, feds are filling up meets within days now. Raw/wraps only is really having a resurgence atm | |||

IainKendrick said: It's also, pretty much, a lift that I am sure Louis Simmons suggested could be useful. Squat/GM They do it GM into squat then squat concentric normally at westside. It looks a tough movement | |||

Post Edited: 10.12.2015 @ 13:26 PM by matthewvc Buddha said:I had a discussion about forward lean and my question is: are lifters with long legs and women damned to practice good mornings instead of skwats? He did say that Sheikos opinion is wrong and that it's impossible for most lifters to squat with a upright torso. His opinion is basically that they have to do good mornings. So i ask the hall of Sugden what is your opinion? (can't insert a picture) all sorts of factors govern forward lean levers - femur length, tibia length and back length ratios. flexibility - ankles, hips, abductors (shape/angle of femoral head and hips affect whether you can ever get down with a very wide setup) i'm lucky to have decent squat levers (short femurs and long back) so can narrow stance, low bar and still be quite upright. but even a deadlifter build can still stand upright if he can get a lot of knee travel and/or take a wide stance. | |||

Buddha said:90% of my Equipment is from strength-shop tough I was searching for a Rack that has a close hole sizing, similar to westside racks. When I did look up on this I found only american manufactures who prodcue Racks like that. Also Yokebars, or Safety Squat Bars, there is Sportkraft but they charge around 500€. is this of interest? rogue r4 -http://www.rogueeurope.eu/rogue-r-4-power-rack-eu - looks like it has the bench press spacing you're after and a europe toplevel domain (.eu) so i'd assume that's good for you? | |||

Post Edited: 07.12.2015 @ 20:09 PM by matthewvc Ralls Bench paused warmup 10 mins then Bar x loads 70 x 8 100 x 5 120 x 3 140 x 3 155 x 3 170 x 3 Slingshot on 180 x 3 - maybe PB can't remember 190 x 3 - PB Feet up bench (calf cramp forcing this) 130 x 10 tng then long pause last rep Standing OH press 20 x 12 60 x 5 80 x 5 190 was a nice PB but last rep much harder than should been due to cramp in calf forcing me to lift leg off ground halfway through. Not done standing OHP for ages weight was easy enough but shoulders terrible flexibility so leaning back too much. won't be doing them again for that reason lol | |||
