Oh yeah I do negatives, however some exercises I only like to do with a spotter. Chest is certainly one, biceps and tris I just do single arm and spot myself. That feeling when your muscles just give up and say no mas and you have that unbelievable pump. Arnold said it best.Do negatives
I'm hoping his death wasn't body building related
Did chest after work on Friday, hit up back yesterday, helped the wife out with some exercises since she came to the gym with me.
I am curious though how you guys finish a rep, do you squeeze the muscle at the end and hold the motion. For example on chest I use dumbbels (I don't bench anymore, had rotator cuff surgery so my left is weaker so I only do dumbbels to decrease the strength gap.) Anyways when doing presses I contract and squeeze my entire chest at the top of the press for a moment.
I see a lot of guys at the gym doing a press get to the top and then come back down and do another rep. Do you feel you get a better workout that way?
What exercises did you do and how many reps?Did over 500 reps for back tonight, officially a bodybuilder now.
RIP Big Country. Dude was a beast, one of the few bodybuilders that could total over 2k with ease.
I always dreamed of doing heavy weight when I first got into lifting, but after seeing the results although "assisted" Serge Nubret got from lifting I decided never to go heavy. He would do crazy high reps and I think maybe 300 is the most he would do on bench. Don't quote me I am not 100% on his workout numbers anymore. And again he had good definition and the size I would eventually want to get to.It all depends. If you tend to lift heavy weights, squeezing is very difficult to do as it is hard enough to support the weight. Higher repetition with lighter to medium weight can bring the focus better on squeezing on every rep and focus to that muscle being worked on. When I do heavy lifting, I don't feel the squeeze as much as I do when I left lighter or medium weights.
Happy belated birthday..I just turned 30 on Saturday too.
