razor what you did was unsafe IMO. ROM. To short for even a partial and the jerking near the top. You're asking for injury.

noted, thanks for telling me, I'll  re-check my form again this week, at a much lighter weight

come to think of it, partial deadlifts kinda bypasses your body's built in safeties right? if you use straps you're lifting more than your grip allows; and lifting it up from a rack allows you to skip the concentric movement of a deadlift, which means you could use WAY heavier weight than you can handle. your back wont get the brunt of the weight until the time you actually bend your hips.

am i making sense or is this pure nonsense? genuinely curious..

We can go on and on about straps and belts. There are two thoughts about this and frankly, I think both are viable reasons. Its really up to the individual to choose for himself.

Razor, what I meant was basically partial dls are like bench presses and leg presses. Doing the eccentric part first. But never mind I think I'm talking nonsense lol.

Jeff, what's natural ROM?

guys.. i have this pain in my wrist.. right wrist.. the pain come when i turn my palm to the left.. tough the pain is not unbearable.. i just wanna be carefull..

did some googling.. they say it may be cause by me doing curls using straight barbell...

so.. my question is..

should i just continue using barbells but drop a lil bit of the weight.. or change to ez bar.. or use and ez bar plus dropping the weight..

or just by using dumbells..

or just stop curling all together till it hurts no more?

*edit*

if all of the above is not an option for me right now..

anyone have any exercise that i can do just to maintain my biceps for the time being?
i cant curl heavy.. my stat right now,
straight barbell curl= 15kg each side
dumbell curl 40 pounds
*
Do whatever that doesn't hurt your wrist. Been there before so its better not to do anything even remotely affecting the recovery of your wrist

what do you mean more than you can handle? if you can lift it up the first time, thats the weight that you -can- handle. if you couldnt handle the weight you wouldnt even been able to get it up in the first place.

oh, btw..

im sure you curl more than me.. maybe i should start curling light.. actually cable curls feels the best and gives me a ton of pump.. but unfortunately.. the cable in my college gym and a nearby gym is spoiled... only the rm7 per entry gym is working...
ic... when ur curling using the ez bar.. does the same condition appears? or works perfectly on your wrist?
i found something in google saying when curling with dumbells, when we actually turn out wrist on the way up. it is actually easier on the wrist altough it reduces the pump on the bicep... is it true? coz i dont mind having less pump as long as i can protect my wrist...
bro dark.. i read previously that you do curls using cables... are there any reason in doing so? maybe something related to wrist and elbow injuring related to curls perhaps?
*
cable curls give constant tension throughout the whole set. dont think hes doing it for some wrist problem.

I'm no expert, but I'll try to comment. On the 160s, I think your hips go up too quickly, causing the bending in your back. Are you remembering to push the chest out to create an arch in the upper back? If you are, I think the upper back may need some strengthening work to maintain tightness throughout the lift to keep a straight back. Again, I'm not an expert, so take it with a pinch of salt.  wink.gif

thanks man. tbh my form has gone to shit nowadays, dunno what happened. forgot all the cues. dont think i kept my chest out on that one..

Wanna ask something about meals. I know to have effective results, we need to eat much after WO. What if I workout on Mon, Wed, and Fri, do I still eat that much on Sat and Sun?

IMO i think when you start your lift, you should sit back more, to use your legs to help you. From what i see, your hips are already up , so you're using a lot of your upper back to get it up. Next time try to get better lighting ? It's so dark. Good job on the poundage though
*
noted, thanks. but i was thinking not to place my hips too low, the tnation vid states 2 ways to DL, lower and higher hip placement, hits different areas. high hips loads the back more, which is what i want.

but yeah from the vid it looks too high up..

edit:
@bobdabuilda: routine looks really solid. did you get there from somewhere or did you make it up yourself? hmm i do RDL on leg days and DL on back days, theres no issue doing both of them in the same week. just make sure to put back days as far away from leg days as you can.

and are you doing BW dips or weighted ones?

quickie noob question. hey, is it necessary to do different style of workout that target are the same part of body?
looking through someone workout logs yeah makes me wondering.
for example are the train log above, the target are specified toward each body-part but why must have variety of style??
why not stick with the same style and just increase the reps and sets??
huu, sry if it annoyed but reading the sticky and comments surely does pop some random question in my head.
*
what 'different style' are you referring to? well its good to change it up every once a while, keeps the body guessing. if you do the same style for too long your body adapts. a good example would be to change your rep ranges, switching from machine/free weights, different exercises, etc.

QUOTE(Kaffatsum @ Oct 30 2011, 06:24 PM)
Def. sit back more and use more legs. And work on some explosiveness. It'll help, trust me wink.gif
You hitched on your last rep w/160kg. Work on lockout strength? Heavy DB Rows and Rack pulls.

f*** you man. Im doing high reps now and wont go into the 3-5 rep range for a while >_< Awesome strength.
*
i think my legs and hips refused to cooperate that day haha, squatted 2 days before so my hips were still pretty burned out i think. explosiveness, got it.

well good luck on the volume work lulz. i definitely like the lower rep ranges better haha. i paid my volume dues from doing gvt for 4 weeks already whistling.gif

That's messed up. Do they have a Smith machine? Leg press? Leg curl/extensions?

i dont think changing squats for leg presses is a good idea tbh, its starting strength after all. probably just need to get used to the squat machine or use the smith if they have one. either that or change programs, lol.

I'm currently doing my squats using the steinborn lift, as my golf club gym also doesnt have any racks.

Hey guys, a newbie bodybuilder here too, currently stagnant for a week+ because of exams.

Was wondering if I go beyond my knees (i.e asian squat) for my squats, its harmless right? Because I'm looking at some of the videos, they hardly go anywhere near parallel.

wtf, asian squats? googled it and its downright racism. call it something else, like, ATG?
