Dead right, even when I get underneath the bar for a new PR i'll be telling myself "you can lift this shit, just do it already". Gotta be positive and the games already 1/2 won.
 
When it's out of the hooks it is war. The few times I have ever had a spotter or lift out I do prefer them to be mute.

"It's all yours bro, one more rep"......etc

Oh really, I never would have thought that.

Besides, I can't hear ABC news radio when others are talking.
 
Couldn't find anywhere else to post but

And Oni; have you seen Dave Tate lift?
He shakes with 2 plates on his back lol. When he squatted 900 it looked like he was pretending to be a jackhammer
 
Guess I'll keep hammering the triceps then. That feel when my arms have gone up a whole inch but I'm still not any stronger

Click to expand...

Well if your biceps have increased it's not going to be much help in the squat, deadlift or bench
 
Strong arms = strong bench. Biceps extend the shoulder so are still important in the bench. Plus it's mainly my triceps that have grown as that was the focus of my training...
 
They do flex the shoulder, but since muscles can only contract or relax, If the biceps were doing any real shoulder flexion work in the bench, it would make the elbow extension pretty hard.
