damn man u got a big wheels for yourself la lol

Chow

I've been training a year.. i started last year july

my height is 171 cm and i just weight myself this morning 82.5kg.. Last week 85kg i try to maintain at 85kg but this morning i weight myself at 82.5kg kinda disappointed.

Maybe because i did some cardio in the morning.

how u lose 2.5 kg in a week?
should be from the lost of water in ur body?

perhaps because of water of my body... i don't know haha... but i lost 10kg b4 last time in a week hahaha...

Maybe you using cheap (and nearly broken) analog weighing machine? Those thing is not accurate one... or maybe you comparing results on different machine. Best is to measure by digital and with same machine everytime...

My time fooling around with my workout picture



I'm interested trying out forward bending deadlift. Hope if we can discuss on this. I've read that deadlifting with straight back... well, strong during straight only, like a stick, when forward bend, broken. Need to be like a steel, cannot be easily broken when bend. Anyone doing this? Zercher deadlift, odd object deadlift (water filled swissball, sandbag)... for starters, are we suppose to maintain normal lumbar curve during this movement, and allow lordosis and thoracic to bend? Of course, I'm not interested on matching my 1RM in normal deadlift. Aiming 50% of 1RM is OK enough?

Need to be strong in back bend, straight and forward bend couple with strong abs (full contact twist, standing ab-wheel, and dragon flag)...

nice towel pulls dude!

nice and unique exercise hoxy. looks kinda extreme

Towel pull ups are the shit, yo!

Best practice is which one?

Thanks guys!

Samsk, are you referring to towel pull up? To be honest, you should try both because both has it place in workout. Both have progression...

Towel assisted one arm chin/pull up. You can count how many fist you make on the towel. You'll start from 1 fist, and move your fist futher down until your current level. I can make a 10 fist. You can also put a weight once you have conquer >=10fist progression. I personally have never done this, I will try it later on. This exercise is good because you doing your pulling mostly with the upper hand. You can compare your left/right hand performance and easily can target the weaker hand to match the stronger hand. And if you aiming for one arm chin/pull up later thus exercise is a must because it teach you about how to balance and coordinate urself.

Towel chin/pull up. You can put weight on once you can do towel pull up. This is actually a test of grip. You can increase the difficulty by pulling on a thicker towel.

My main goal will forever be a one arm chin up. I'll need grip, unbelievable strength-to-bodyweight ratio, and strong joint/tendon in order to accomplish this, so above 2 should help me a lot. Last time I tried, I can do one arm negative chinup for 10 second. Stilll progressing...

Sorry long time no post. Busy with work, like crazy busy but lookie, arm. Cut from 89kg to 79kg but for example still benching around 315-335lbs. I don't dare go too heavy during cutting for fear of injury. Pedro's seen my progress in person, in fact just met up with him for shisha just now:-

Arghh!!! Did you just post a picture of Vin Diesel or something?


OH NO!!! Apparently, it's even bigger than Vin Diesel's arm.

If next time, anyone asking how to get big arms/tricep/bicep... I guess I'll respond with "PM Darklight for more information".

How can one said benching around 315-335 lbs is not too heavy??? LOL. It's like 2 times my BW. WTF!
