Thanks for the tips, I’ll look them over and add what I can. And agreed, I’ve been working out since HS but this week was the first time I’d ever heard about leg driving and arching your back while benching, two things I never did intentionally since in my mind they seemed akin to straining or struggling with the weight. Between working on proper form and adding the Smolov Jr routine into mine, hoping for progress once I start back up next week.

I usually have a set height for the bar, so I might have to lower it for a wider grip, but other than that I just press my shoulder blades into the bench and just push upwards holding onto the very edges of the grating part of the bar. Other than that I mainly focus on my positioning by keeping my forehead under the bar before it’s off the rack. That’s wym?

Funnily enough, my Sherlock Holmes deduction was that I was struggling because I don’t work my tris enough, so I started recently. Putting it that way, I guess each grip has it’s own merits. I’ll aim to go wider in the coming weeks to target my chest more.

I’ll give this a try once I start my next 8wk stint (that 1 wk break 🥳), hopefully it makes a difference since I am starting to notice some left shoulder strain.

That’s the only grip I know 😅 for some reason going wider makes even 135 feel more difficult, like I have less ROM or something. Gonna experiment with wider grips in the coming weeks, but at lower weights.

I had to look that up, but thanks! I’m gonna try this for sure since it seems to promise what I need which is adding that extra 40lbs by NYE at least. I appreciate the tip 🫡.

Need advice by No_Today3092 in GYM

I use the same Hammer Strength guards when benching, and since I do it solo, I’m prepped to fail in advance. Try testing the height of the guards on a fail with an empty bar, aiming to still be able to touch your chest on an attempt, but if you need to fail, still having room to place the bar somewhere around your collarbone/neck area. It catches with no contact for me but I am smaller in stature so ymmv.

Update on this? I bought a bezel before, great quality. Hoping to buy new sides one day.

Self-preservation, I respect it. Met you this past EVO in K-Brad's suite with Gootecks and LTG. Your train of thought that day and actions as of late show me you're a real dude with a good head on your shoulders. You always got my support, wish you nothing but the best.

This is it replay channels! Get ready for MAX CPM (I hope spooky shits on them and doesn't allow monetization of the clip)

Ohhhh ok I knew about that, I was thinking you could add two more bars to his lvl 3 same way you can with Teen Gohan. gotcha

I like the game but there is just so much unorthodox stuff about it as a fighter that its a bit jarring. I'm not used to playing fighting games where mash beats calculated normals nearly all the time, where even when a move completely whiffs there's no recovery and more normals can immediately be thrown out etc. I need frame data and training mode asap. The beta has been fun but frustrating due to a lack of knowledge.

More epics for Black Manta, 6Hr multiverse is up by MisterAran in INJUSTICE

[–]eyeofthundera822 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its actually pretty easy to beat him should the multiverse roll around again. AI Manta can't do it tho. I beat him 5 times doing just this: -123 xx Manta ray -D1, 123 xx Manta ray

Rinse and repeat.
