B, you have a point, but imo, the risk of injury is worth it compared to the benefits free weights and squats provide. Anyway, Penn St.'s record speaks for itself, maybe they should start squatting.

You think so? I might try this next time I clean (Friday).....I have been noticing some slight discomfort when my feet hit the floor due to arch support issues as well......I bring both pairs to the gym, so I will definitely try it, I'll warm up in the Nike's and if I like it, I will use...

I despise this. Sometimes, I don't know why I let it get to me because I should only be concerned with personal progress and not care about anyone else, but it annoys me that some guys think they are in my league, when their bench would be down 100lbs if they did it my way, their squat would be...

I also love when a girl will say 'my brother/cousin/boyfriend/ex-boyfriend lifts too, he's real big, like you'. Then you see them and it is some 165lb, wife-beater wearing bicep boy whose neck you would ring. Damn, I am feeling fired up today, I love this thread, this board is like a support...

I was working out on Monday and I was doing explosive/power shrugs. I was using 495 for 5 reps on my last set and some guy approached me and asked if that is the most I've ever done on the movement. I said "yeah", then he said "I used to work out with this guy who did 10 plates on EACH side"...

My point exactly.....not a flame, but if I lifted in something because i thought it was cute, I'd kick my own ass......you on the other hand, Ms BH are another story.

I was having a shitty day til I read that

I'm with LiftBig. Spatts is right too, and I can prove it with personal experience. I got a pair of Chuck's and when I squat it feels so stable and natural, I never am pushed forward, deadlifts feel great as well, so do my Olympic movements. I wouldn't advise any running in them, and if the lack...

It seems in life the more you accomplish, the more you're known, and the more you're known for your accomplishments, the more jealous and insecure people get, and the more you make people insecure and jealous, the more they will try to tear you down to make themselves feel better about never...

Yeah, it is tough to say, an a person's build has a lot to do with it. Like long arms can hinder the bench, but can help the deadlift, some guys with a bigger gut can use it to sort of push off when they squat and it helps them, also individual weak points come into play, and with respect to...

That looks fucking intense, it is one hell of an accomplishment. I can see the grip starting to go, when that happens on a max effort DL to me, I can't even tell you how many thoughts pop into my head, usually they piss me off and I complete the lift.....awesome job, man.

Hitting weaknesses is the only way to imrpove after a certain point. I'm looking forward to see some of your numbers when you test on flat bench again, it should be a huge PR......btw, what was the post-workout meal? I'm approaching feeding time myself and getting a little hungry.

Thanks bro, I'm sure I'll be talkin to ya.

The point I am trying to make is that Poliquin is using an example of the average American woman who goes to spinning classes. I KNOW the average person who trains does so with a low intensity, barely breaks a sweat, and eats total garbage at all the wrong times. I just think he used a poor...

My girlfriend is a Spin instructor, you can't pinch an ounce of fat anywhere on her lower body. I took the class once and I damn near threw up. I thought it sounded easy, but it really does mimic cycling and all of the climbing done on a bike. As far as Poliquin, he should look at the Tour de...
