Jason:
500 rev band pull
Zercher Squat

Jason's brother made him a set of Farmer's Walk Implements. They are really nice but you have to have a good grip to use them. The handles are a lot closer to 2" than 1". I am guessing somewhere aroudn 1.75" or better.

Conan's Wheel

The way you locked out your deadlift, is that good? I really looks like you can hurt your back like that.

 

[PolishHammer1977]

Nice man look like you guys had some fun.

Nice PR dude!

IMO you can get way more than 702 up man.

The way you locked out your deadlift, is that good? I really looks like you can hurt your back like that.

Do mean that it was a lot of lower back? My legs went straight a lot earlier than they should have...but the bands really throw me off. It seems easy off of the floor but continually gets harder...and harder fast. One part of your body feels like it is easy then your body is all out of whack because it is different.

That...is the point though. It is different.

Is it dangerous? No. Can I hurt my back? I could hurt my back bending over to pet my dog also. I basically stiff-legged the last portion of the deadlift and if the tape would have kept going you would have heard me say...'whoa...that was a lot of lower back.'

If you are talking about something else in my deadlift...I'm not sure what it is...explain.

Honestly, I used a thick bar for every exercise except squats for nearly a year. Did wonders for my grip strength.

I do farmers and NEVER use straps...ever...
