Nice, 500 biguns!



I never really put much thought into this and I put my index fingers near the rings. The bar is across my palm diagonally. Sticky uses a really close grip. Just play around and make sure you touch low- near your mid navel and you'll be set. Lift-offs are needed for anything heavy so anything above 80kg I do them bottoms up from the rack so I don't have to unrack it or have some retard drop it on my face

arent you only benching 90 or so? Cant imagine the "anything above 80kg" being an issue for you reverse grip at this stage? Especially given you just called 60 a pb.. Not having a go, just seems to be a random arse comment :p

Good work on the deads.

Unrack any amount of weight with a reverse grip and full arch and you'll understand exactly what I mean

I have no doubt that it would need a handoff, but what you said is anytime you go above 80kg.. and I dont think you would have ever done that :p
 
I suspect I can reverse grip more than I can bench regularly- I've just never had the opportunity to max
 
Squatted 140kg for a set of 6- beltless and wrapless
Shrugged 230kg for a set of 3 then went onto do an oldschool hand and thigh lift of 260kg

Also- RIP new underwear, I hardly knew thee
 
Fark nice one dicko!!

Sqautted 175kg wrapped tonight. More to come definately not max.

Tim.

Bet I can beat you to 180Kg raw even with my recent 8 week layoff. Reckon I got 160 in me now, will kill 180kg after the last heavy week of smolov base and a weeks rest.

4 plates or I suicide.
