[red80]

look up brad castleberry. dude is a beast.

and bradley martin. both guys are straight savage and functional.

i follow both on ig

Lol I know that fool Bradley Martin. He used to train up here with those dudes I posted about awhile ago that were benching 600lbs+. My boy asked him what his stack was and he got butt hurt(he used to claim natty not sure if he still does). But he knew what's up with a 5'7 brown belt in bjj that would put all those muscles to sleep. he's a cool dude tho and huge.

Random but I read anthony mackie (the actor who plays Falcon in Cap America) said Marvel made him eat 11,000 calories a day for 3-4 months to get "in shape" for his role. On top of doing 2 a days intense workout sessions. Man actors have it good with the best nutritionists and **** lol

Thats crazy to me lol

Not gonna lie if i had the title of "strongest man alive" i would troll my face off.

The touch and go deadlift thing always gets me. When you are doing them you know its easier you can tell. One time i put those pads under the weights just so i could more or less drop the weight on the way down without it being loud. And the .5 inch or however thick they were made lifting the weight a lot easier. Even that i was like nah...not happening. And it was super easy to touch and go on them since its more padding.

When I use to do DLs, I couldn't do the touch, and go. It was easier, but my back would also hurt more on it. I had to reset after every rep pretty much.

Touch and go just seems like the equivalent of bouncing the bar off my chest when doing bench presses.

It doesn't seem, because it is.

The lift is called a deadlift, not a bounce or momentum lift

That argument is flawed though. Youre not actually pressing a bench over you in a bench press.

The name of an exercise is just that, a name and not a literal description of the movement.

Lol wut? No...o_0. The deadlift is called the 'deadlift' because the weight is dead on the floor until you give it kinetic energy by lifting it. Ever heard of dead weight? You're lifting dead weight. So a dip is just a name and doesn't describe the exercise? Nor does a pullup? And for the record, you're laying on a bench...and you press. Hence the name.. Smart guy.


Is an orange an orange because it's orange? Or is an orange and orange that just happens to be orange? srs

You just being a contrarian on this one, though it isn't always the case, it's pretty damn obvious that a deadlift is an exact description of the movement it's named after.

Im fully aware of why a deadlift is called a deadlift. My point is that not every exercise is a literal description of the movement. I wasnt saying that no exercise is named after a literal description. A deadlift starts with the weight on the floor in a static position, and is lifted off of the ground. From there, people infer that every rep should be taken after the weights are resting on the ground.

For the record, im not saying that im pro or con for "touch and go" deadlifts. I was just stating that using the name of the exercise as the basis for an argument is flawed. Thats all.

 

[panaricanretro]

Touch and go dead lifts are still good for building power and increasing your work capacity. It's a good way to get you comfortable with pulling that heavy weight with the same movement pattern over and over so your hip drive becomes more automatic when you're lifting a heavy weight. I usually do static deadlifts in a lower rep range like 3 to 5, and then end it with one or two sets of touch and go with a lighter weight.

Like last week my setup looked like this for deads:

135 x 10
225 x 5
^^^both warmup sets
275 x 2
315 x 2
365 x 2
^^^bridge sets to get me ready for heavier lifts
405 x 5
425 x 5
455 x 3
475 x 3
495 x 3

Each of those above sets in the 3-5 range would be a full de-load on each rep. Then I dropped to a set of 335 x 10 just touch and go at the end of those. Basically just a burnout set.

Bench press could be interpreted as laying on a bench and pressing. Arguments can go both ways. It's not a relevant argument anyways, I was just pointing out that a deadlift should start from a stopped position everytime.

I started making protein pancakes and waffles and I've been really enjoying them...

I use cellucore and ON whey.

My question is do y'all have a brand of protein that cooks better to taste?

Just curious

skinny ripped? like skinny guys with abs? or lean muscular guys? i dont think bulky guys hate skinny guys with abs, more than just they're laughing at them for thinking skinny ripped is impressing anyone. Just a theory.

 

[anomolie]

I agree with this statement. Asking "How much you weigh bro?" all the damn time.
