anybody into bodybuilding/powerlifting?

[scabzzzz]

I think the straight back is more prevalent the the Oly style lifters while powerlifting tends to drift to the rounded back. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that in Oly, rarely do you stop at just the deadlift, you're probably doing a clean and jerk, or press which requires that posture at the top.

If you dont stay straight you wont be making your lift. The second pull requires a strong back that is upright.

Round thoracic spine is fine.

Can I pull a Rule 19 here? Haha.

also i dont believe that you need to keep your back straight on a deadlift. its a good rule of thumb, but that shit is bro science and i dare any of you to hit me with scientific research that proves otherwise. the body isnt meant to be in a static position, its too dynamic for that.

Ive actually had a tough time lately. I've got a couple of pinched nerves. C3 and C6 in my cervical do not move at all so my Jerks suffer. Im up to a 115kg (253) clean and a 97kg (215) jerk. My goal was 100kg (220) so i'm round there. Snatch is at 85kg (187) still which sucks but i've had to take a few days off here and there. Squat is up to a fast bar path 325 ATG. Front squat, no idea. My last front squat session was 275x5 so maybe 305x1?

Will post vids today.

I BBQ all my chicken on Sunday and pack out all my meals in these.
I still cook dinner though. The packs are for meals at work since I have 4 meals while at work.

i use them too! on sundays cook up 3lbs of chicken,2 lbs of ground beef, and some rice youre set for all week.

hi

Haha not really. Theres a free bench for dumbbells but not one with holders for a barbell. Ive learned to deal with that.

Do you make your meals each day or are you making a bunch at a time? Im not dedicated enough to stop eating ice cream and snacks.

I love deadlifting. I feel alpha as fack doing it.
HATE swapping the plates though.

For some reason people dont know how to load and deload the bar correctly... I should make a vid... I can load 3 plates each side in about 10 seconds and deload it in 5.

Nothing more srs than the misc.

(Srs)

lol.

just do what that Jen Selter chick does, she has ass for days.

Its all implants lol.. her workouts are so stupid..I dislike that chick so much she is physically ugly to me. she has absolutely no legs... it does not look natural.


Also I threw out my hip (sacroliac joint) and possibly caused a small tear in my lower left back (sciatic nerve) .. been in pain for about 2 weeks.. its getting better.. should be good to go by next weekend.. went kind of ham and deadlifted heavy for reps 3 times in 1 week.. on top of squatting lol. I knew I shouldn't have but I wanted to so bad.. was crushing PRs like crazy.

I eat ice cream all the time... talenti is a pretty good brand. I just try to keep my sugars under 50g a day... a big part of this though is I only drink water and milk... most sugars come from beverages. eliminate them from your diet. Remember fats aren't THAT bad.. its sugars that are.. and fat makes things tasty.

your gym doesn't have a normal bench or rack? WTF. I just use smith for jump squats.

bb.com sucks and this is in the off topic thread area for people who have the same interest in cars that I'd rather talk to.

I started planning all my meals out and following everything like a robot and results are majorly quick, it's ridiculous. If you follow everything perfect on diet and workout, it works but that's the hard part.

[Reichart12]

Yeah that's what I've heard. I was thinking my form is different now from having the bar travel in a fixed path. I might try to drop the weight a little and go for lots of reps to see if that helps me out.
