STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[awwsome]

Did Triples at 308. Going for 3plates next week.

Hit 245 for 7 today, going to go for a 1rm next week, tryna meet you in that 3 plate club.

I'll be at 3 plates soon too.

I never tweak it squatting but dl is another story.

I can get it back to normal in a day with a lot of seal stretches. It's pretty rare now but it's happened. I also throw on a belt after two sets above 315 and that's helped a ton.

 

[awwsome]

I've never used a belt but also haven't tweaked my back deadlifting in over 2 years.


When I first started my form was trash but now my back is by far my strongest body part.


I just make sure I warm up correctly and stretch afterward, do need to cop a foam roller though.

I think for me I underestimated the 10x2-3

 

[mplsdunk]

I ****** my **** up bad when I was first lifting not knowing a damn thing. It's never been the same since so it just happens. That's why I wear a belt only on dl, I also have someone watch me dl now too in my working sets.

Yeah my back and legs are by far the strongest too. I injured my self in December I think and it takes about a year to fully heal but I can deal with the slight pain in the meantime. Dl has actually helped it, the more I lift the stronger it gets and the less it hurts.

It's hard taking back pics.

 

[JPS]

coming out nicely man! train hard!

 

[mplsdunk]

Id love to know his peak blood pressure and heart rate during that lift.

 

[megagraphitti]

Has anyone tried partials like this?



From the OP's thread over at bb.com: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=171913213

 I understand that anything less then going ATG is completely unacceptable and greatly frowned upon for any reason in the lifting community and I will probably be mocked and hated for uploading this. I have my reasons for using a very restricted range of motion besides just ego lifting. 

Periodically training in a restricted range of motion induces adaptations that would not be possible if you were to only work with full range of motion movements. Partials allow you to handle much heavier weights then full range of motion movements and are an excellent tool for inducing adaptations to the skeletal system, the central nervous system, and the tendons that attach muscle to bone. Size and strength are two separate things and building a good strength to body weight ratio is essential for priming an athlete for speed development.

Also most movements in real life are not full range of motion movements. For example when sprinting nobody ever drops down to parallel in their stride. In a front or side kick the heel makes contact when the leg is almost fully extended in a kick. (So I focus on developing strength at that point so that I can "break through" my target.) 

Before you insult me and call me a foolish idiot for lifting in a partial range of motion (I also do full range of motion lifts) You should know that some of the greatest lifters and athletes of all time used them. Bud Jeffries, Paul Anderson, Alexander Zass, Bruce lee, Bob Hoffman etc. 

 

[stuntman mike]

that's not the same as quarter squatting. i would guess it helps condition the CNS and maybe improve the top end of your squat if you can't lock out. block pulls and board presses are good movements that use partial ROM to improve lifts.

 

[kiefurban]

i don't know what that silly **** was but partials are the business. There's not many exercises I don't do twenty ones with and my last set of anything I never drop the weight if I can't lock out I just keep doing partials as far as they go until failure.
