If someone was doing cardio just for fitness instead of losing weight, wouldn't it be catabolic after lifting? When would you have your post workout drink?

No, read what sweed said.

It's a powerlifting thing. Set a bench up in a power rack with the pins up so you have about a 4-6" ROM and do either flat or overhead presses. Start out with flat.

HEAVY lockouts.

HAHAHA...you did look sort of out of control. Like the guy was going to pick up 335 anyways... ISOs are hard as hell. You don't really know until you try. You keep moving up on the abs. I suck on those. I can't believe you do both squats and deadlifts on the same day. Crazy. Looking good, keep...

Good job. It's amazing how quickly you wipe out. The difference just between the first and second rep...if someone just saw the first rep, they'd think you'd do 5. It looks like you press in an angle like /...not quite a j curve. Why not straight up? For triceps, have you tried tate presses?

Alright, I'll try it, but the pins are perfect for you. On this rack, the pin I used would be about 1 inch higher, and the next one 3 inches lower than what you had.

Yeah, I probably didn't. The problem is the pins. I can set them up so when I fail they'd easily catch, but then I have about an inch left in my ROM (still below parallel) and I end up hitting the pins sometime which is breaking the con/ecc chain. This was the first time using the pins at that...

Whoa, you actually struggled again and blew through it. Guess that duration stuff is working, huh? When do you know you've done too many rotations? I did 8 on squats today, and just stopped because I was sick of it. Took awhile too...

Yeah, my grip is holding me back as well. Does DB support direct work (i.e. static or farmers) or just do ISO's and take care of it that way. The way you do DL's now is harder with the straight back, so that's more impressive than that old clip I saw. OI style I don't think will help as much...

Looking good. Especially the DL's flew up. Wow, you actually struggled with a lift on that 5th rep. That's probably the first time I've seen a clip like that. I agree your sticking point is definitely the quads. I think 1 1/4 squats of some kind would help, especially bulgarian ssq would help...

Let me see if I got it right. -Session A should be more strength and Session B more speed? -On session A alternate PIM w/ ISO? -Is it even necessary for me to do anything for upper other than PIM? I could do ISO's w/ rows, but not seeing any other stuff to do it with? Maybe scapular pullups...

2 weeks? Is that like M do upper A fatigue @10%, wait 2/3 or 7 days, then do another upper B fatigue, wait 7 days, then upper A frequency? Do you think it'd be worth doing GHR's of any kind on a situp bench? I think OI's would work okay. I could do weighted sets on the machine fine, but on the...

Yeah, I'd run your next cycle by DB to make sure you get 405. I bet you do better with benches seeing how your MP has gone up.

Interesting...I'd like to see what DB says about it. Good luck with these experiments. Prevents others from making the same mistakes.
