Nice, you gonna start adding deads in, maybe from the pins since a lot of the comps now are having 18inch dealdift either for max or rep (car)??? insane weight though...

I hate this message "You must spread some Karma around before giving it to Scotsman again."

I will do deads this week. Perhaps from the rack. I alternate from week to week between squats and dead.

Yeah I hate that Karma message too.

Is the beastlift as taxing on the hamstrings as it seems it would be?

I love it, someone else does reverse grip bench for tris. I use to hit these every arm workout for several years straight. I have since switched to close grip, so i seldom do reverse grip anymore. On second thought though...i may have to try them again tomorrow.

Is this all that you do for your arms?

I love reverse grips. Also I hurt my wrist a long time ago and it still bothers me if I do heavy close-grip. Yeah that's pretty much it for arms, sometimes I through in another bi exercise, but for the most part my arms get worked enough on my other lifting days.

Good question! It doesnt seem to tax the hamstrings too much, but I definately think it hits them somewhat. My hamstrings are always a little sore the next day. I figure with all that weight and the position, the hamstrings are probabally getting some work.

It just seems like they would get a hell of a lot of work as you're releasing the weight from the up position, even moreso than squats...

how close do you go on close grips?

i know that if i go to close my wrists hurt like hell. I usually have two fingers on the smooth and two on the rough, probably 8-10" apart.

I put my thumbs on the smooth part so probably 12" or so apart. I cracked one of my metacarpals when I was younger and CG's put pressure right on that spot and causes a lot of pain. So now I just go primarily with reverse presses.
