DE Lower

[kingc_79]

i did a new routine today for de lower and man, did those pull thrus kick my butt. my lower back and hams are so tight now.

Box squat(aprox 60% 180lbs) 10 sets of 2
pull thrus (70lb) 8 sets of 12(i love these!!)
pull down abs (130lb) 7 sets of 8
lying leg raises 4 sets of 8
rev hypers 4 sets of 8

all in all had a great workout. first time i've actually used pull thrus in a workout and i loved em.

Lookin' good. I love pull-throughs as well. They have helped a lot with my deadlift and squats.


I can't believe you guys area all back in the gym already. Hardcore, guys!! I'll be back in Monday. Might need some light support on my knees, though.

I plan to go for 525 in 4-6 weeks. I'll definately post that up. I'll go for that the week after I get 600 from the knees.


All of you guys and gals that were at Bluegrass are so hardcore to be back already. Makes me want to get back that much worse. Inspirational, guys.

JOker: for me its not harcore to be back in the gym already. i was more used to the events than you were. also i took a whole week off before the contest, so after saturday i was so inspired that i had to get back so soon.

kingc.........i just added pull thru's in to my workout as well. your right they do fry you, it hurts my hamstrings just sitting on them.

I've put a 404 on a 50" platform a few times. I loaded a 365 without tacky on a 54" platform about 6 weeks ago. I've had my HUGE 415 nearly on a barrel before...

yea it is a site i've got to see him get real close w/that 415 and that stone is huge. i dont see how someone could even budge that thing much less load it.

That's just insane.


Exodus: That's a good point. I hadn't thought about it like that. I just thought it was my old ass reminding me I'm not 20 years old anymore.

[sinjinsmythe33]

wow, that is an engine block!! you are a yeti!!!!

 

[NWinters]

Nice work Chad!!!!

 

[Lord_Suston]

I do them on back day

 

[Cuthbert]

Watching that video... I love how the stone hits the ground with NO bounce or anything.... the damn thing just drops dead on the ground... thats heavy

 

[revexrevex]

Bfold, if that platform was made of concrete, you would probably put that stone up by leaning it against the platform and rolling it up. You got it high enough I think.

One more thing, what shoes are those? How did you manage to sit so far back without falling over?

I know I can load a normal sized 415 or more...I just know it.

I compete in my New Balance shoes. I have always competed in the same ones and my father actually gave me his old ones (identical) the other day. They are about 3 years old...but I can't spring for a new pair of shoes any time soon. I think I should hit New Balance up for a sponsor...lol.

Doing the stones is similar to the way that Front Squats feel. They are darn near impossible with just the bar...but with weight you can sit way back. With a heavy stone...you can lean way back and the weight of the stone will balance you out.

Cuthbert: Yeah...I never noticed that it didn't bounce...lol. My others do. Just look at the pic from the Bluegrass where JasonA is bouncing my 185...lol... Also notice that when I bend down...the stone is already AT my chest...

Brings a tear to my eye just watching that. Truly inspirational.

And awesome job on the work out kingc. You are making great gains.
...chad...

 

[kingc_79]

thanks man

 

[Lord_Suston]

king I do it as an accessory, mostly to gain speed of the floor and to get my lower back thick and explosive, plus it hits your trap like mike tyson on a punching bag

 

[trinity73]

great job king_c ...you are inspirational as well as many of these other guys. I can't wait to see your progress. Let me just say I did the pull throughs also and they to kicked my butt. My hammys are SCREAMING!!!! Atleast I can sit on mine though...exodus has a time sitting down... lol

Trinity

Clint you are the man !! You continually blow me away with your strength.

I love them too. I don't go super hard or heavy but I do them to add a little volume into my routine. I really do think that they help with so much and could do wonders for injury prevention too.
