The music sounds odd... The bass is weird... Oh well.

Its been on the verge for a while now.

Because I lift on carpet and without collars, the plates tend to shift a little and press against the bar on an angle. That probably has something to do with it.

just so you know..its not a "bad" omen when you break a bar... tb

nice workout man

hey...how did those squat gms feel on your hammies?

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

cool vid man. so the barbell was fixable, right? Just had to screw it back in to the sleeve?

 

[Mike_Rojas]

Gotta try those 1 arm deads. Hits the obliques nice I bet.

 

[Lord_Suston]

looks really good, those stiffleg gm's look like murder on your hams. good arch on the gm's though.

Any reason for the squat gm???

nice oblique work

 

[ffknight84]

wow, i was doing squat GMs all wrong. NIce Job on the workout though. What muscles were you hitting with the 1 arms ???

 

[t3c]

i'm gonna do squat gms sometime next week...thanks for the vid btw

see...posting your vids not only helps you but everyone else

 

[kingc_79]

nice form on those man...looked really good..did the stiff leg gms hit your hams pretty good also

 

[Zander1983]

king - the stiff-leg GMs were murder on my hams, especially across the knee joint.

t3c - vids are a massive help for all parties, without a doubt

ffknight - the 1 arms mainly work the obliques and core. Little bit of grip work, but not hugely significant.

Suston - no reason in particular. Just wanted to give them a try. I don't like them as a ME exercise. There are better ones to use

BodybuildingUniverse - I don't know how to fix the bar properly. I slid it all back together, but it still moves around. My girlfriend's dad can weld, so when he gets back to Australia I'm going to see if he can fix it. Or maybe that is way off track?

thebrute - I don't believe in omens, bro

dude, the same thing happend to my barbell. Just use some duct tape. It works, seriously.

i actually liked the gm squats as a me move...different strokes for diferent folks

For me they were neither here nor there in terms of really focusing on a weak point. I mean, I could either squat or GM more weight that I could for a squat GM... I guess I don't understand the logic behind it? I think its important to know WHY you're doing an exercise.
