My DL is stalled by my weak forearms. Stuck at 80kg and even then it feels like the barbell is slipping out of my hands.

gonna remain till it dosent anymore

Do you deload the weights completely? Lower to weights completely on the ground and re-grip before you lift it up again.

no, more like lower till weights touch the ground and lift back up

When it touches the ground, reset your grip. But remember to keep your back tight.

ooh now I know. Gonna use it for madcow

i thought only for pendlays we deload and re grip, for DL we should just touch the group and explode back up.

correct me if i'm wrong. i saw ronnie coleman doing it that way as well as benedikt

If your grip is giving up, by all means re-grip. If your grip is fine, then you can do away with it.

will it get better over time as my forearms develop?

Hey joey , going to 50session edi , dont hv any celebration huh?

Hope u can post your before and after pic soon !!!

whats ur conclusion on Mark rippetoe program???

what is there to celebrate lol

pics will commence only 1-2 weeks later because, I WANNA CUT OFF SOME FAT. Blame syd g for delivering my lipo 6 late. muhahahha.

Personally, Rippetoe is a very good program. I can stay on longer but I need to move on. I need to do more sets/reps since well, getting plateaus at everything is a big indication.

oh yea forgot to ask: if I'm doing cardio postworkout should I omit the postworkout shake? although it seems to be the most important shake

Take your post workout shake after your cardio. Not immediately after your weights.

thank goodness I didint make the mistake. First time cutting here.

am gonna do cardio after the last rippetoe session.

I just went thru madcow and I realized I need to reset my poundages or its an early plateau. So I guess I will be using rippetoe then.

for me just concentrate more on squeezing your grip on the bar and u'll be fine. do it without gloves, unless u have really good gloves.

j00 have giant forearms. I have stick forearms. But squeezing...hmm

You can always use a strap if all fails.

Somehow that sounded kinky.

yea, leather straps and rings too. not to metion whips and candles.

u not using at 505 deadlift?

he uses straps, at least he did 7 months ago
