Actually it is very possible to lose fat by lifting weights alone.

If your main goal is hypertrophy, overhead squats will not help you towards achieving that goal. The load is not significant enough to cause hypertrophy.

Desvaro,

I think he's doin it for core.

I love overhead squats. Make you feel unworthy.

Yeah I know I was just making a point, causing before this he was posting pics of his quads so I assumed he wanted bigger quads.

I couldn't have said it better myself, overhead squats make you feel unworthy just like you said = )

Are you able to squat with an olympic bar above your head? Or do you use dumbbells instead?

muahaha... finally my deadlift increase. =.=

warm up
100kg - 10reps
134kg - 6reps

workout
156kg- 3 reps
165kg- 2 reps
175kg- 1 reps

quite satisfied. =.=
around 2 months or so on deadlifts...

after deadlift
4 sets of barbell rows (50kg 2 set 10 reps, 70kg 2 set 10 reps)
3 sets of cable rows (80lbs, 100lbs, 120lbs) no rest 10 reps each
4 sets of lat pulldown (70, 80, 90, 100lbs) 10 reps each
3 sets of reverse flyers (7kg, 9kg, 10kg) 10 reps each
2 sets of dumbell rows (20kg) 10 reps each hand
2 sets of pull ups 5 reps each
*
Do you mind answering a couple of questions?

1) How much did you improve on the deadlifts in 2 months?

2) How did you train to reach this level? Were you constantly lifting 5rm or 3rm or 1rm? Different setup for every week etc?

Thank you and congratulations

Haha actually, the heavier you get, obviously dips are gonna be tougher right? Cause more weight to bear smile.gif

What you can do is on your last rep, when you reach the top, lower yourself down very very slowly, (around 7-10 seconds). This will help improve your dips. It's called slow negatives

Also there isn't really such a thing as 'inner chest' haha. Close grip bench press is usually done to focus on the triceps
