Good idea but a little to much trouble. Serioiusly guys, the easiest way to use boards by yourself is to put them under your shirt right against your skin. If you shove them up far enough ,like almost to your chin, you will not have to worry about them sliding around and can focus more on the...

Whats that supposed to mean? I don't think trianing heavy only 2-3 weeks before a meet would cut it. jmo

you double them up to the bar and then double them back down over the bar to the ancor point. It is like a double double.

Sometimes. it has to do with the bands create a greater stretch reflex ,because it accelerates you down faster than gravity normally would.,which causes the muscles to contract harder. So when you have all the band tension at the top say 200lbs. and only 100 at the bottom , you body still...

I believe it is because using a wider grip will put more emphasis on your chest rather than your tris. And since you are benching raw and do not have a shirt to help get the bar moving off the chest this will help the bottom of your bench.

Nice work Irish, at least on the squat. Man your total is gonna be huge when you nail that 9 and get your shirt down. Your talkin a 1500+ sub total. Damn. Good luck. Train hard

I did an APA Bench meet this weekend and was really impressed with myself (bragging). This was my 1 year PL anniversary meet. Last year i benched a tough 350 This weekend i went 3 for 3 385 (20lb pr) easy 405 (40 lb pr) 415 (50 lb pr from OCT.) This was the first time i'd had this much weight...

Are you waiting to see who you will lift against? I thought you were gong to do one that you could qualify (if you havn't already) for the SR. Nationals? Just curios. I guess you gotta' wait for your equipment huh. Any way's Good Luck!!

8-10 lbs shouldn't be to hard. I am also around 227 and compete in the 220's. There are a few ways. I usually just drop my water intake on wednsday by a lot and then on thursday i do a hot tub 15 min pool 5 min cycle 2 or three times which will drop me a few lbs and the same thing on friday...

4 and 5 boards for tricepts as well as rack lockouts about 6 inch movement. I know they will not help the bottom of the bench but they will allow yoiu to handle some heavier weights. Do you use bands or chains. If not try moving your weight on de day up a bit probably 135 -145 between 50-60% of...

Every other speed bench day i do some extra sets for my chest BB style for hypertrophy. DB inclin and flat bench, or BB inclilne. Usually between 6 and 10 reps for 3-5 sets. Occasionally on these days i test my 225 for reps or do pushups for a pump. Every other speed squat day i will do some...

Shit, yoiur 47 and still at 500+, I'm 25 and at 320 and the doc still said i was in the normal range. I drank a few beers 7, the night before the test and fasted for a full 14 hours. Alcohol lowers test levels a lot so you could try that. But with a 500+ i wouldn't cont on it getting below the...

their is no reason for an athlete to go to a rock bottom squat. A parallel or just below parallel squat is as good if not better. You do however need to control the eccentric , down, motion of the squat and not bounce out of the bottom. THis your coach is right about. a fast ecentric phase will...
