Never said I didn't like mixed grip, bro.

Grip strength is just rarely the issue when dealing with really light weight. It's almost always flexibility/mobility issues.

I've seen dudes who can curl 100 pounds that deadlift 65 pounds with a rounded back. Lol.

i pull everything with a rounded back.

Im gonna call mine the non broken rounded back way just to help me feel better.

everysingletime · Dec 19, 2015

I'm sure you guys are talking about upper back rounding though.

my saturdays with the in-laws. they're doing banded squats. i'm gonna mess around with this multigrip bar.

Rogue setup :nerd:

me likey mikey

How heavy is that multi grip bar?

stuntman mike · Dec 19, 2015

i think the one i was using was about 40#
it was kinda fun. i just used it with 50# plates.

tdogg2k · Dec 19, 2015

that thing looks fun to use, i know my gym wont buy one. I've been seeing people bring in their own equipment to the gym lately. a couple of the trainers bought olympic lift stuff and lock it up in the room.

Rumble Gang · Dec 19, 2015

Yea that bar looks official. Wish my gym had that

mplsdunk · Dec 19, 2015

I wish my gym had the bar for back squats with the poles on both sides so you don't put your arms behind your head.

I just hack squat it though now.

Why?

stuntman mike · Dec 20, 2015

after using the safety squat bar, i much prefer a regular one for squats.

tdogg2k · Dec 20, 2015

I want to atleast try out that safety squat bar thing once.

Why?

Plates in my arm make the regular bar hurt to bad to be worth it. I can use a smith machine because I don't have to really grip the bar but I just do other exercises.

This nagging lower back issue is frustrating man. Took 5 days off from the gym and it was feeling pretty good, did chest yesterday and didnt even hit my 1MR, lower back is sore again today feeling like it did before my 5 days off.

Used the foam roller during and after my workout, but man this got me feeling like an old man. Dont even wanna play ball no more cause im scared how it would feel after.

Lbp is the worst. I never realized how much the back muscles are utilized until I had it. Stayed away from deads, squats, basically any lower body exercise. Couldn't hardly run or tie my own shoes. It took a few weeks until it was completely gone.
