you have to get them stronger, do wrist curls and hammer motions

-rack pulls- lol guys who pull 4 inches

awesome work man im working on 6 again..i use to be able to hit 585box but my squat got left behind a bit..anyhow mine is in the low fives atm ill know for sure in a week and ill post a number from open air(edit: raw as in no wraps no belt ...) dont know what i could get with belt and knees wraped and im not worried about…

if im training for a meet 24 weeks out i will test my triples on a fake meet day then 12 weeks out ill test singles on a fake meet day usually a Wednesday ...then ill go about max singles 3 weeks out again ...just what i do

i train in a semi private gym where that stuff is uncommon...but i couldn't tell you how many times in other more commercial style gyms i see this and the guys who talk about there 300 or 315 so on and so forth bench..then struggle with an assisting spotter pulling the bar with like 265 for a beyond ugly forced 3 reps.....…

i do a heavy incline...a heavy over head...i do just about evrything heavy....i guess some people worry about shoulders..or just can handle more weight on flat so thats all they press heavy on

im a little bit lost in what you said......and you have 37.5 inch legs O.o

nothing wrong with that man...im on joint juice fish oil gulcosimine pills and tart cherry to make sure my joints and cuffs..etc stay online as much as they can man..might i ask what happend ...muscle .. ligament ?

i have trained with these guys on several occasions its a ton of fun .....the traditional farmers are a rock tied up with rope but now they bolt a chain and handle to them so you have a big stone hanging off a handle your carrying way more awkward than a farmers walk we think of today with devices that simulate tractor…

Hey Zilla i dont know if you still are doing research on this but the rams are just knock offs of markbells slingshots....not that they arent any good but i own an original (red) singshot and i love it i use it inplace of negative work which always beat up my forearms too much ....its also good for extra tri work or if you…

Hey Zilla just got side tracked is all there's a ton of awesome conventional guys out there ...but alot of guys sumo more than they can conventional pull usually this is because they can get more out of sumo dl suits than conventional ....and i agree with you on the tall thing dls are just rough in general on tall guys…

i know alot of powerlifters who pull more sumo than conventional ...its an advantage such as arching your back on bench is an advantage its a shortening of the distance between two points, im not knocking it in anyway as i arch my back once a week and flat lighter weight once a week such as i use sumo as a tool but dont…

hummus ...i have to have the whole container when i open it

im not using this program but im with ya ...im working on my 405 raw pause aswell...im not entirely sure where im at atm but my guess is 360 or less....i wont be doing singles for another week or two im still on doubles with alot of accessory work...tomorrow for me is 335 for doubles then timed holds and jms

It is a mechanical advantage to pull sumo ... I however am a conventional puller ... That being said i still do sumo work on the way down as its still a great tool even if you don't compete with it ... Sumo is great for hip streangth I suggest you pull conventional till your done wth working weight be it fives triples or…

Thanks man ... I'm tho only person on here who was using this site to gain tho lol that lift was wa a body weight of 215 or less I'm currently 230 5'8

Wear neoprene warmup pants if its bad but always do timed body weight squat at the bottom to warm up ... Use a foam roller ... Maybe nock it down to twice a week doing a box or pin squat in place of open air all the time ... Are you oly or power squatting take all into consideration

I haven't been on here in forever.. But I love talking deadlifts ... I've hit 630 raw no belt off the floor I'm working on a 650 right now

you move zilla

i agree with you here..but its still just amazing to see a guy like donnie thompson squating suit or not..just a massive man doing a massive number ..sometimes you still just wanna see that big number

the squat and the bench shirts/suits use a nice tight spring effect using the weight agains the shirt/suit ..where as a deadlift suit only reaction is you sitting into it and then pulling off of it at the bottom like a really tight strong box then after the break it bassicly is only keeping you tight so it does a hell of a…

alot of guys have mixed feelings on the slingshot..i like it becuse the negitives were really putting pain to my inflamation in my forearms so its nice to have a change of pace other than board pressing or jm's ..ill shoot UDail a message if i can find him on here ..im going up to get certified by Svend Karlsen this…

well..the deadlift equipment cant assist asmuch..but ive seen a ton of 650-800lbs squats in all sorts of gyms around ..as far as raw squats i dont see tomany over 7 actually i dont see too many over 6...........and if your talking form only..yeah the new ply shirts really make you touch your uppper abs not chest the form…

.

large curd on its own..i se to hate broccilli and cottage cheese ..now i love them both

the slingshot is cool becuse you can remain with the natural move ment i have one i use it in place of negatives ..but better shirts with more people buying/training in them the use of bands being more commonplace..but your right i havent seen a blast shirt in like 5 years not long after i really got into it ..i know i…

hince why louie loves the belt squats ..which im currently building a box to do so off of

cool to know that if im not mistaken it origonates from people with disabilitys in rehab clinics or what not then the russians got a hold of it and the rest is history.. very neat to see it without weights lol

no it was off the floor raw no belt ..im not sure what the number is in the picture ..and you are correct that is only an 18 inch pull
