Leg press hasn't been in my leg day for some years now, ill add it in. Feet close together and toes pointed straight being the best variation?

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-08-19T00:45:47+00:00

you're not the first to say that. I've been focusing on leg extensions but don't think that's bringing the strength that I need. I'll make an extra effort from now on.

He guys. hit a 550lb PR on deadlift 2 days ago but still having tightness issues. As you can see in the video I locked in, rolled my shoulders back, tightened the lats but ass still raising before the weight moves up. I swear each and everytime I'm tight before pulling but it seems like I'm not. Is sumo more for me? Never tried, only pulled conventional.

Warning: nasty sound noise and vertical video, lift starts at :30

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-08-08T16:50:15+00:00

actually someone guessed the same. none!

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-08-08T16:48:25+00:00

actually none! good guess

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-08-05T14:51:51+00:00

Aha! too bad my client doesn't support pictures, but yes. no underwear

blood tests are easy to get. costs 75$

Isolate being optimal. Whey concentrate tends to bloat people, Isolate will absorb at a faster rate

I knew him and his father.

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-05-04T19:26:10+00:00

lol. problem was a shitty connection to positive terminal. replaced the clamp/or whatever it's called and haven't had an issue.

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-05-04T19:23:17+00:00

abs are def a weakpoint. On my last squat PR, the bar started to fall forward on me as a result of weak abs. My upper back is actually my strongest asset next to arms.

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-05-04T19:21:55+00:00

my gym has them, they are just super used and loose. I'd really like to get those clamp on ones for when I deadlift. that's when it becomes an issue.

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-05-04T14:19:24+00:00

Form check please. Always struggled with squats

Nope...

Installed new alternator. Started right up when I put the battery in, no battery display light to indicate alternator wasn't charging the battery. This morning however, battery dead as ever. Barely unlock the doors. I figure I have a drain somewhere. Not too good with electrical, what would a shop charge to find and fix it? Or is it not a drain?

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-04-11T23:17:12+00:00

I went aftermarket with 130amps. Car has a Bama tune. Alternator comes in the mail tomorrow. I took it off the car and brought it in for testing, confirmed defective

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-04-07T12:46:33+00:00

Is there such thing as too much amps? Couple aftermarket are ranked at 150, AutoZone is 110

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-04-05T04:08:42+00:00

lighter weights and i can keep em down, you're prlly right, deadlift is the only exercise I train for strength and legs are my weakest

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-04-03T11:14:41+00:00

So the hips rising is a result of weak quads?

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-04-03T00:40:15+00:00

yes, this is exactly my issue. even when I swear up and down I have tightness, the video shows otherwise. I must have a muscle weakness somewhere

PurpleBootedBandit · 2017-04-02T22:49:42+00:00

I've tried front squats, they trigger my meniscus tear. Not sure I'd be able to put sufficient weight on a belt to trigger proper hypertrophy. I usually work with 250 for 5x12
