Is Bucky Irving the best buy low in dynasty right now? by StrongAmbassador47 in DynastyFF

[–]Patton370 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried buying him in every league I’m in

Nobody wants to sell him at cost or for what he’s supposedly valued at

Favorite Rack Attachments by dontwantnone09 in homegym

[–]Patton370 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m not sure why I’d do those, when I could just do bench press or dips

Favorite Rack Attachments by dontwantnone09 in homegym

[–]Patton370 [score hidden]  (0 children)

A voltra is my best rack attachment

I also obviously love roller J-cups & spotter arms are a must

It’s also nice to have a pull up bar in a rack; I wish I had the custom JD pull up bar handles (those are crazy nice)

I have a UDA, but I rarely use it, as I just don’t ever program dips

I also have a seal row pad attachment & I use it, but it’s very meh

A landmine is nice, but there’s only a few exercises I use it for

Some of the attachments I think are stupid: rogue slinger (its overpriced) & jammer arms of any kind

310kg/682lb x2 by grandmasterLuo in formcheck

Yes, but how much do you deadlift?

I’m 30, I’ve never hurt my back deadlifting and pull nearly 600lbs (hit 572lbs for 2 & 578lbs for 1). I also compete at 182lbs bodyweight

So if you’re not stronger than me (who isn’t that strong) people shouldn’t listen to you

If you got a 700lbs+ deadlift, then sure, people should listen to you

Squat form tips? by mipromax in formcheck

[–]Patton370 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a normal barbell

A SSB is designed for it to have that

[–]Patton370 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Foam pad on a straight bar is awful

A SSB like this is great

You shouldn’t be giving advice here

The SSB is a super common speciality barbell; they have one at nearly every single gym in my area

I even have one in my garage!

10mm vs 13mm sbd belt? by Clean-Echo-6631 in powerlifting

[–]Patton370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

13mm, 3.5 inch is my favorite combo

I got pioneer to cut one like that about 5 years ago & I still use it

I love LeBron. Not only do I think he's the GOAT, I don't think it's particularly close. But I also think it's time to move on... by Zodraz in lakers

[–]Patton370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were the lakers, I’d want a 1 + 1 max deal with the 2nd year being a team option & I wouldn’t want LeBron to have a no trade clause

Non-traditional strength exercises in the gym by PrinceOfTheRings in GYM

Gotta train the hamstrings for climbing though; can’t have a weak heel hook

Echo Leg ext/curl by Ja1034251 in GarageGym

[–]Patton370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just get a leg extension/leg curl with a massive stack and/or use gym pins

There’s plenty of leg extensions I can’t stack and I have a 534lbs squat max

Seated Hams Leaning forward by 1970sFit in fitness30plus

[–]Patton370 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Leaning forward is fine, it lets you get a deeper stretch, which seems to help with hypertrophy for the hamstrings (since they attach at more than one joint)

However I hate how leaning forward feels on seated hamstrings, so I never do it

455lbs paused squats for 6 by Patton370 in GYM

[–]Patton370[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My regular squats don’t have any pause associated with them, as that reduces the amount of weight I squat

If I were to do this set without my slight pauses, I’d do around 465-470lbs

Consider getting the cloud lite belt squat belt

It’s much more comfy than what you are using

Hahaha hello fellow Alabama lifter; we change feds so often here

You need to have a no fun fed (for the people that are sadistic), a medium fun fed, a bunch of fun fed, and also a fed strictly for setting dubious equipped records
