•Australian researchers reported in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research that when weight-trained subjects performed incline bench presses, the muscle activity of their upper pecs was only about 5% more than the muscle activity of their upper pecs during the flat bench press.
•Canadian scientists found that when trained lifters did the reverse-grip bench press, the muscle activity of their upper pecs was 30% greater than when they did the bench press with a standard overhand grip.

intredasting..never knew there was such a thing as reverse grip bench press..gonna try it out on my next chest day

It's pretty intimidating for the newbie to be benching 55 lbs when everyone around him is doing well over 100. Same thing for me. Took a while to shelve the ego and the need to conform.

How do I put a video here without using YouTube?

Btw, please don't crucify me when I post my video. I know I'm fat

Here goes nothing, BTW, TURN DOWN YOUR VOLUME, i tend to be a little loud psyching myself for the lift. Empty gym FTW.

And no it's not a full deadlift, it's a partial deadlift, I mentioned why I do this instead of a full dead in my workout journal, it's just a personal preference of wanting to concentrate on my back rather than go full ROM and involve my legs.

The rack is basically an extension of the smith machine. If I put the safety pins , it won't even be lower than my knees. That's why I need to reverse walk a bit

Compared to you guys, especially dark, i'm nothing. I gotta catch up a lot of my physique and my poundages

I train light too man. It's just some of my lifts are strong( relative). I'm thinking of just cutting down and not bulking back up. I'm having a lot of trouble trying to fit my legs into pants. I'm naturally big sized. Believe it or not. Big boned. As mythical as that sounds.

I didn't get it at first either. But that hip drive helps involve the hamstrings into the movement, which in turn means more power to shoot you out of the hole. It fixed my weakest spot of the exercise, which was getting out of the hole. Your lower back would give out first before anything else, from my experience.. so squats isn't a primarily leg exercise, more to lower body.

One of the key things to look at during squat is your knees should not go past your toes, so imo I got better there.

I just got the best idea of a meme for razor. Anyone knows how to do meme'?
"Moonwalking with 400lbs""Like a boss!"

I meant, a squat is a squat. Don't let "sissy" deter u

I think im deadlifting more can i handle 

on deadz day im going to go light and tengok sampai mana i can deadz

Yep!

According to the article this guy will be there also!

Right, so, what's everyone up to today? Chest day for me!

Damn, would love to go. Having exams now. 

ronnie coleman training legs. god i swear the weights he moves in a session is what i move in a year

lol i didn't know he sounded like that!!

i thought he had a more beefier voice like dorian or arnold

everybody want to be a bodybuilder, but nobody want to lift them heavy ass weights!
...or something like that. imo 1998 ronnie = his prime.

olla guys,
quickie question! usually when u guys meant x=sets,y=reps does it mean total of the workout per session? if i manage to pull it off somehow less than 20mins for the total sets and reps, do u think i need to add a few more pounds? dunno why but when it comes to lifting weights it always end-up early..hehehhe..unless cardio..

here is my newbie log and info,

height=176cm
weight=75-78kg (festive season might raise to 80kg, semester break will be definitely 80kg).
waist=33(us) dunno exact measure but that is the size of jean im wearing and it kinda loose nowadays after i start diet and exercise regularly.

my training consist a day on and off, depends on the mood to be exact.

starting with cardio treadmill or cycling around an hour which burn around 300 calories.
take 3mins of rest then continue again with:

db bench press- 12 3x 10reps.
db bicep curl-10 3x 10reps.
db shoulder press- 10 3x 10reps.
power partials-10 2x 10reps.
standing db upright row-10 3x 10reps.
seated db wrist curl-10 3x 10reps.

goal is no more saggy boobs and belly, actually it not that saggy just want it to be in well define shape.

yo alpha, i understand your feeling because i feel the same right now

cutting phase huh ? 

I can sorta relate bro. I can sorta relate.

Creatine works. It's one of the supps which have been proven to work.

You can't out train a bad diet. Bodybuilder can cut with diet alone and no cardio. But they can't cut with cardio alone and a bad diet. And no offense, you seriously need to cut to show that impressive mass underneath the bodyfat. Stick with it. Perseverance bro.
