My Benchpress video
-
Just watched it again.Realised that you are dropping the bar way too fast and coz of that,it seems that you are bouncing.Originally posted by Simon Dean:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhCgfaXYbik
My stats
Age:17
Height and weight=177cm,75kg.
I am benching my own bodyweight for 5 reps in this video, this is just a WARMUP set to heavier poundages.Barbell with weights added is 75kg in total.
That youtube a/c is my friend's one btw, so other videos are not me.
If you are interested in hypertrophy,you should adopt a 1020 tempo. The negative should take around 2 or more seconds.Don't go to full ROM also by going to full lockout.Just stay shy of lockout to maintain tension on the muscles. -
It was touch and go, but i will try to control the eccentric.
To be honest, i stopped 1cm shy of my lower pec. -
I am saying do not lockout out your elbows.Originally posted by Simon Dean:It was touch and go, but i will try to control the eccentric.

To me, i feel that no lockout=not complete.Its just what i feel.Originally posted by Marco_Simone:I am saying do not lockout out your elbows.

when you lockout,you are actually letting the muscles take a break.For hypertrophy,continous tension is imptOriginally posted by Simon Dean:To me, i feel that no lockout=not complete.Its just what i feel. -
Hey, talk on msn if you can.Sgforums a little laggyOriginally posted by Marco_Simone:when you lockout,you are actually letting the muscles take a break.For hypertrophy,continous tension is impt
I get what you mean, Eryk Bui has talked to me about this before in vegas.
Just like some bodybuilders do 3/4 to their chest and stop short of lockout.
But if you are talking about chest hypertrophy alone, i personally prefer dumbbells.Can go deeper.Even at bottom position, there is still tension on the chest.Same with dips as well.Infact i like pausing at the bottom position of dips for 2 secs to get a nice stretch.
I am gonna do bodybuilding from July onwards. -
Sometimes it's better that you haven't or you will need to relearn everything again.Originally posted by Simon Dean:Can i be a total newbie and still join your course or must i enrol into a personal training institute first?
Jonathan just did the first module.... ask him about it. -
That would be a 2010 tempo, not a 1020 tempoOriginally posted by Marco_Simone:Just watched it again.Realised that you are dropping the bar way too fast and coz of that,it seems that you are bouncing.

btw opt, that band sprints really messed me up good. Today's max effort squat day and I only managed to squat 3 reps for 87.5% of my 5RM load. Weaksauce! I guess yesterday's burpee conditioning workout also took its toll...well I'm gonna take the rest of the week off anyway, hopefully I'll be back in action.

you are a retard to actually believe that I will post my own pictures for everyone to critique...Originally posted by Simon Dean:Sorry, but your arms aint that big either
-
Then it entirely proves that you are an "all fart but no sh!t person".Originally posted by Dorian-X:you are a retard to actually believe that I will post my own pictures for everyone to critique...
You got bigger arms so what?Can you squat 1.8x your bw and deadlift that same amount?Can you military press your own BW?How many KG weighted chinups can you do for 5RM. -
I doubt you can do all these in the first place!Originally posted by Simon Dean:Then it entirely proves that you are an "all fart but no sh!t person".

i admit i am skinny but are you those muscular guys who have sucky relative strength?Originally posted by Dorian-X:Dont lose your cool,kiddo. Just a joke what,afterall I am stating a fact-YOU ARE SKINNY!
Sure i even think many olympic lifters look skinny, but who gives a flying f*ck.They are dense and lift much more than us anyway. -
I always thought you are some big guy from the way you talk sh-it here.But turns out you look 15kg lighter than you are.Your other moderators like to talk sh-it also but they talk less sh-it than you and they look the part too.
Well,maybe coz you are still a young kiddo and they are adults liao. -
Who cares about being big if you are gonna be weak.Originally posted by Dorian-X:I always thought you are some big guy from the way you talk sh-it here.But turns out you look 15kg lighter than you are.Your other moderators like to talk sh-it also but they talk less sh-it than you and they look the part too.

As I said,standard excuse given by so called "strength trainers"Originally posted by Simon Dean:Who cares about being big if you are gonna be weak. -
Actually they are not strength trainers in the first place,they started out bodybuilding and after a while,they realise that their genetics sucks for BB,so they came up with this conventional excuse of "i train for strength,not for size"!Originally posted by Dorian-X:As I said,standard excuse given by so called "strength trainers" -
Why dont you go join a competition to prove your mettle instead of talking so much sh!t here.Originally posted by Dorian-X:As I said,standard excuse given by so called "strength trainers"
I have joined a strongman competition before and i have pictures to prove it.
You have no pictures or videos to prove anything.
Like i said
All fart but no sh!t
NS didnt teach you a thing, you still hide behind your computer screen like a yellow-livered chicken sh!t.
YCK Gym i can prove the lifts to you, after that you can castrate your fuckin balls if you even have any.
Stand up like a man and stop talking crap. -
Have you seen mariusz pudzianowski or franco columbo if not STFU.Originally posted by Dorian-X:Actually they are not strength trainers in the first place,they started out bodybuilding and after a while,they realise that their genetics sucks for BB,so they came up with this conventional excuse of "i train for strength,not for size"!

Do you know many start of strength training first like Ronnie and Arnold for a base of strength.Obviously you know nuts.Originally posted by Dorian-X:Actually they are not strength trainers in the first place,they started out bodybuilding and after a while,they realise that their genetics sucks for BB,so they came up with this conventional excuse of "i train for strength,not for size"! -

You just post your videos of your 1.8bw squat and deadlift,your BW military press,your weighted chin ups to prove to the whole world that you are a skinny guy who is pretty strong. -
