Very Nice buddy! Does the old schoool T-bars bother your back more than BBbent overs? Do you use your hips/hammies as shock absorbers when going heavy?

If the pictures are boring for some just let me know and I will stop it but if you want I can picture every movement and every set include my working sets if you like and eventually I can move onto video but I will be hoody up so no face. Just trying to put a different angle on things but if its not something anyone get enjoyment out looking at I will stop , just thinking out of the box
Agreed! Foot placement is very critical especially picking up the CG and setting up... I also like to lock in and B&B and use all back(hands are like hooks) starting the motion with the back... much more stress on the whole back for thickness!
Do you ever use plates to stand on - elevate yourself?!
My feet placing is high up because if I don't I tend to lean and push with my toes which is bad news for the back, it need to come from the heals and base of the foot, so placing your feet higher up works best for me, but I am a bent over guy with the bb dy style. Just trying to get up to 4 plates a side with super strict form
Morning gents, gave great days everyone. Marcus thanks for the pics - I gather, not a lot of b.s. happens at that gym & you know it the second you step into the place.
Its a hard lifting gym for serious lifters, ive not gone to one of these nice gyms with carpet on the floor and lovely machines yet, maybe it will come soon enough but I still feel I can toss it off in the hardcore one for some time to come. Also many of the new fancy gyms don't have the weight or proper equipment to dig in deep and train hard.
Definitely keep posting pics Marcus and videos would be awesome.
Like prox said that's a serious gym. I would love to lift in one like that one day.
My gym there are a lot of big guys. But watching them workout, sit around, talk, even the movements they do I wonder how the hell do they look like that with all that bs going on.

Shoulders tonight first time in ages I have done them dur to being sick etc
Good morning gentlemen I use the term loosely :) Playing nurse for the wife now she is home.She will milk this shit :) Charging my 2 way radios up so I can hit the basement and hit the chest and tris today with some cardio on that cursed bike!
I like the pics, boss. It's nice to see what equipment you're using.
On the Tbar rows, it's the same for me. Brace the abdominal wall, lock in the angle with the lower back and glutes, and.the rest is pure mid back and lats, well maybe a nosebleed or two. :lol:
2 thumbs up on the weight loss. Squats and calves.coming up for me next in the rotation, so that will keep the weight loss going for me. :)
Back & traps done
Unilateral lat pull down 5/5/5/5 then 7 left side only
Unilateral seated row 5/5/5/5 then 9 left only
Cable pullovers 1 set to fail
Reverse grip pull down 1 DD (just slightly wider than shoulder width)
Smith machine shrugs 3 sets
No time for cardio, still have to fit in a minimum 20 mins more this week
My knees hurt still, I think it might be the squats in the smith. There's a trainer at my gym, seems to know his kinesiology shit so I'm going to interview him with a view to hire him so I am able to free squat again.
Hi fellas, this cold shit is fvcking me right up. I went in and did shoulder i never even thought about doing traps there was not a chance i could have.
Db side raises 2 working 1 drop
Rev cable flys 3 sets
Front raises 2 working 1 drop
Seated press 2 working machine
Done, really went for it but all weight was down, still got a good burn and failed but the cold shit beat me. Defo no session the mora i will rest and eat till the start of next wk. Really no point in trying to train when not a 100% yous all know what it's like you think it will be fine but your just kidding yourself.
Ok, past my bed time. If any of.you dabble in bullion or ETFs (gold or silver), give it about 45 minutes and then check to see if the spot has tanked. I just dropped about $600 on some odds and ends and that usually drives the price right down, LOL.
Everyone have a good one. If I can rest decently or even semi-decently, squats are coming up late tonight. :)
Hope you kick the creeping crud quickly, buddy. Put on your kilt, find the Scottish equivalent of moonshine, and pour some into your coffee/tea cup until is about about 1.5"/38mm deep. Chug it down, grab you a quilt, and just rest. Maybe some chicken soup later with a little hot sauce, and a tad more alcohol and then back to bed.
Are you off tomorrow or do you have to work?
Ahhh life got in the way and had to tend to my Father today moreso than usual - which is the main reason I'm here and I feel
Good doing so! Also having done that I am much more refreshed and my mindset for legs after missing them today - I will be completely destroying every fiber in them including my calves! Looking forward to it!
Usually I do EOD lifting but have been on for 4 days(the cycle just seems super fitting at this time and is really kicking) it was perfect timing for a day off imo and actually feel bigger than I was yesterday - I love growing!
Just wanted to pop in and say why I haven't posted much today - but things are ok w/pops had to get some testing/imaging done on his back and neck... he's one tough bastard I'll tell ya that - he's what drives me to be the best I can I be at this time after all he's the one still walking!
Good evening fellas and I'll be up st 3am starting to eat tomorrow am! Catch youse on the flip side!
Nach, glad your dad is doing well & has a son like you.

Single arm extensions to positive, positive assist, then negative to fail
Nice workout, but mentally just didn't get as amped up. Gym seemed slammed today with too many new faces, everyone just seemed to get in my way.
Nice workouts guys.
Low is what I prefer. Try starting the move down by leading with your hips, not your knees. What I mean is push your hips back first and let your knees naturally folllow. This will help to keep your knees from travelling out further over your toes putting less shearing force on your knees.
Maybe prox can dig into this a bit for us as well?
Mixing up a shake and slowly getting my mind right.
Thx Prox! Much appreciated!
Morning fellas!
I'm ready to tear up my legs today! Hope everyone has a good start to their weekend!
