2011: Deadlifts, Grip and Presses

[ghettostudmuffin]

Overhead squats are awesome. Your balance and overall strength is definitely well balanced being able to overhead squat bodyweight.

I might be able to do a single with 185 right now, but it would be sketchy as fuck. Definitely no 250 without some work lol.

I like the overhead squats. If I wasnt maxed out on leg day I would add them.

Nice! my current goal is 100x1 also. Weighted pull ups are probably one of my favorite lifts now. Also great work on the rdl's that must have been an quite a burn after all those reps

Weighted Pull-ups are the bomb

I'm gonna start working on chinups pretty soon. Due to my left bicep being cramping and being sore I haven't seriously trained my back in 2 months and I can tell. It looks small compared to what it what. Thank god for the isometric action from squats and presses.

Gonna work on hauling my ass up for sets of 5.

Ya man just doing sets of 5 at your bodyweight will be some hard work! If you could get up to 3x10 at your weight that would pretty strong

I always sucked at high reps on pullups and chinups.

When I was rock climbing I could do about 12 perfect pullups at around 178lbs, but a single with 70lbs np.

Then I'd see guys that could crank out 20 reps, but still didn't have a higher single rep pull.

Try doing sidewinder pullups bro. These will humble most anyone. I doubt they are called this, but I saw a very advanced rock climber doing these and they are insanely hard.

Basically doing a strictu pullup to your left hand, then while in the up position bring you body sideways and touch your chin to your right hand and then go back to the left and lower. That's 1 rep. Then pullup to your right hand and repeat the same process to your left and so on.

If you can do 10 of these without kipping, while keeping your body controlled you'll be a pretty strong sob.

At the time I think I could do about 5 not quite perfect reps like this because it's actually really hard to keep your body at the top position while moving laterally.
