'Your max is my warm up'?
Careful about throwing stones, mate. He's half your weight and doesn't rest/drag it over his belly!
Haha probably should've explained that although the text below the video does. Careful about throwing stones, mate. He's half your weight and doesn't rest/drag it over his belly!
The PT who works at the gym is a Olympic lifter and we've been having some banter on lifts, he competed this weekend and promised to make my max look like a warm up so I made his max look like one instead
On the subject of resting the bar on the belly, it's a 53mm diameter axle, not a 28mm bar. I have double over hand deadlift 270kg on a normal bar, I can barely do 160 on that axle, never mind powerclean 145
Have a go on one to see the difference yourself.

My attempt at a snatch from tonight. Hit 100kg muscle/power snatch. 15kg less than the PT I've been having challenges with but I knew I'd never even get close with no technique
Also strict press set on there. I've found a technique that works for me without causing wrist pain which has been hindering me massively so I'm pleased with that.

120kg 4x6 overhead press PB tonight, I'm actually really chuffed with this!

Rest of session was crap, pec still injured from last week from overhead strangely but doesn't hurt on overhead? So plenty of pump work on it.
Hoping to see physio soon for it.

I reckon I'd struggle just to unrack that weight in that position
At the Joshua fight in my cave we (all gym lads) decided to have an arm wrestle competition over the pool table.
I won as I am physically the biggest, but eifht or so ever increasingly difficult matches really took their toll on my arms this week. Shooting pains, aches, I’ve had the lot.
Wouldn’t recommend it despite how many scotches you may have had.

I bet you started ‘cold’. Pissed arm wrestling is a great way to do some damage to your tendons/ligaments I won as I am physically the biggest, but eifht or so ever increasingly difficult matches really took their toll on my arms this week. Shooting pains, aches, I’ve had the lot.

Quick workout last night.
Landmine press: 3 x 10 @ 52.5, 50, 45 kg
Pull ups: 4 x 4 @ 20 kg
Long pause squats: 5 x 5 @ 70 kg
Gonna work these up to about 100 kg over a few weeks. My squat has gone to crap, and I hope these will help.
Band pull troughs: 3 x 15
Band pull aparts, abs, curls and triceps to finish.

No vids, or pics..... I saw an Elite powerlifter doing it- he said it's the best thing for rear delts- I've been doing it for a few months- and I agree.
Basically stand up, holding a barbell behind you, tilt very slightly forward- lift the barbell away from the body with arms straight (not up)- range of movement isn't very big. But this has blown up my rear delts waaaaay better that any raises or face pulls ever have.
It's almost like a front raise, but behind. try it with the bar- it's hard! I'm up to 50kg for 15 now.

I’m doing something similar with a cable.
Facing the cable bent over
Stiff/straight arm raising to the rear
One arm at a time
Hits the rear massively
At the top it engages a bit of tricep if you squeeze
Yup. Try it with a barbell too- honestly the best thing I've done for rear delts.Facing the cable bent over

like this but arms straight?

Start position is the same- but don't shrug, push away from the body with arms straight, like a backwards front raise (but you won't be able to raise that far)https://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/DeltoidPoster...

yeah, veen sat here on my arse in my spot, I can feel my lack of range. It doesn't take much? ANd the range comes with practise?
