**slfmade** · 01-12-2012, 10:23 PM

I'm glad you posted this....I've been doing my upright rows like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbKgrwI-dwg all my life. What is the reasoning behind not bringing the bar below the belly button?

**--->>405<<---** · 01-12-2012, 10:37 PM

Good vids tbody

Im no video expert or exercise expert but since u askd just my opinion for thought.. Maybe itd be helpful, since ur doing these for instructional purposes, if u lightened the weight enuff for u to be able to explain the proper form and why before u perform the exercise and also while ur doing it this way the viewer will know what to be looking fir and when to be looking for it .. Like u can demonstrate what an incorrect way to do it is (hence the lighter weight so u dont get hurt) as well as maybe address some misconceptions with proper form?? I dunno.. Just thought id throw it out there.. I knownfor myself especially the SLDL, rom DL, reg DL, squat, split squat, those DB lunges im doing..

just a few ideas for ya.. While ur doing the exerc ise it is not as easy to see whats right if we cant see an example of whats wrong

Tbody. How on earth do you keep your feet on the ground when on the bench. I have to bend my knees to support my back.

I don't find it an affective exercise for any muscle other than the trapezius, and this is the best way to hit that muscle, this range of motion keeps constant tension on the trap!

Probably a good way to do this would be to have someone else do the exercise while I explained and pointed to things. I will see if I can't work on that in the future, or give some examples of improper form and how to correct it.

I had low back trouble for the longest time and would perform bench press with my legs up in the air, crossed in front of me. I have heard of benefits to doing these this way, being that it isolates the pec muscles, but for stabalization I was encouraged to go back to this form and have been doing so since I've been back to lifting. If you drive your heels into the ground and keep your abdoman tight it should help. I personally don't have a probelem with you performing them with your legs up, unless you are trying a Max.

yep tbody i knew if i made those comments ud come up with a good idea of how to make it work.. using someone else sounds like a great idea! they could prob just have the bar with no weight or whatever and i can see u squatting down beside them explaining the situation

**tbody66** · 01-13-2012, 08:02 AM

Today will be back and biceps, so expect more videos late afternoon!

i like to do this as well when i bench, helps make a strong core.

**tbody66** · 01-13-2012, 08:38 AM

All depends on your overall goals, probably some benefit to either way, maybe switch it up sometimes or incorporate both.

**Papiriqui** · 01-13-2012, 09:14 AM

Yeah definitely fantastic videos, keep them coming buddy!! Will greatly help people here for proper techniques and stuff.

**SlimmerMe** · 01-13-2012, 10:04 AM

TBODY is on a roll~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

**tbody66** · 01-13-2012, 11:55 AM

You know I just wanna help all I can. It is actually easier for me than trying to type a proper form description for some of these exercises, like the upright rows.

**SlimmerMe** · 01-13-2012, 11:57 AM

^^ true. And i too had no idea not to go past my belly button. Learn something new everyday here....

**tbody66** · 01-13-2012, 01:17 PM

I'm not sure if the "hair and make-up" people will make it today, might have to go au-natural. See if I can keep the camera off my face so you aren't to afraid!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You won't EVER see this guy with shave pits. I'll trim them so SGT quits calling me out, but clean shaven is where I draw the line.

I'll tell you what though...Once this 20 week log of mine is over, we'll fly out to Kansas and you can do a "star pupil" video with shout out. Deal?

I think that would be awesome. We'll design your next program while you are here and get you both ready for the next phase. My wife and I love having friends come stay and all that have do comment on how blessed and refreshed they feel from staying in our home. My wife is a wonderful hostess!
