Lol I never put my legs up while benching and never would. I figured without leg drive then the purpose would be to just use more chest. Idk I never tried, I think I asked someone once and that's what they've told me.

I'm sick and tired of waiting for an ON deal to jump off. Where can I cop some at a decent price y'all? I need vanilla (best to mix with fruits) & chocolate. Thinking about pulling the plug on Amazon, but still hopeful.
i hate misc, dudes over there are clowns.
best place to buy ON protein is ebay.
bought multiple times 10lbs bags for less than $75
eyeing one right now.
Disregard females, acquire aesthetics.
Correct, I have my Masters in bench and PHD in squat and I would never recommend someone to do any pressing movement without proper balance.that's what I was taught as well....feet off the ground would almost be a disadvantage (IMO) due to not having optimal balance OR power.
This is what i have heard. Feet up basically means you are working your core more since you can't use your feet for stabilization. But never heard it isolates your chest more....that doesn't' sound true to me just from a mechanical standpoint.
Finally got 405lb deadlift off the ground....i don't' 'know if i would call it a rep lol. I got it up locked it out and on the way down my grip gave right under my knees....so like left side hit and then right side came down...got some awkward looks but there wasn't many people there at 3pm on a saturday.
I am going to probably get some straps after holding out for so long.
There's nothing wrong with using straps to deadlift. However, do not use them until your natural grip gives out.
Exactly, unless you plan on competing in a federation where they do not allow straps then do whatever helps you progress without sacrificing form.There's nothing wrong with using straps to deadlift. However, do not use them until your natural grip gives out.
Saw a dude in the gym on Saturday all geared up...rocking a belt and straps and walking around like he owned the place. Then he used the straps to BB shrug 225 3 times. I laughed to myself. Sorry...had a gym elitist moment, but I couldn't help it.
Am I the only one that does shurgs using DB? I do 105 each hand 4x8
i feel db shrugs are much better than bb.... i feel a much better contraction
bad thing is the db at my gym only go up to 120, ive been stuck using those for a while now without improving on the weight
Goodness...how's that even possible?I need to get in the gym 6'2 137 lbs here....help me get bigger bros....
Seems to be a good amount of Houston folks in here. Anyways just got done with my hydrostatic weigh in at the Memorial Hermann Ironman institute in the medical center. Results are in, time for that cut brahs.
