A Warning for Powerlifters and the women who love them...

I know there have been alot of powerlifting threads on the Women's Board lately. And as always there are alot of "baby" threads. Just wanted you to know what happens when you combine the to....

John, Tom and Myself all have children. Martin has one on the way as well. I USED to think I never wanted one. This changed very fast as it is the best thing I have ever done in my life. Good luck and enjoy the process! Just remember, do not be on top the day before you bench. It will wear your triceps down. Also, no doggy before squat day. Too hard on the hips. Better yet, just stay the hell on bottom the whole time.....
For more suggestions do a search for "band sex". You will find some classic suggestions there.

Good luck,
Dave

So if you are both powerlifters how do you determine who gets to be on the bottom???

Dear Mr Tate,

I have quite a different question I want to ask you. One of my friends used to be a professional sprinter and weightlifter and he said that his team doctor advised him long before competition to cut out sex and the other one (I’m sure you can guess what I’m referring to!). If I was to do the same would my testosterone and aggression levels be higher? If it is advisable to cut it out – for how long would you say for and do you or any of your fellow powerlifting pals practice this act of discipline!

If I had to give up sex to lift big weights, I would probably quit lifting altogether. It is not the sex that wears the guys out; it is staying up all night looking for it. If anything you would have super compensation after sex. Assuming you had an orgasm. If not the you would be frustrated. This can also be good for training. Now, since this is a question I have not been asked before, I have to have some type of fun with it. So here goes.
Recommended positions before bench day. Any thing except being on top. You know you don't want to wear your triceps out. Staying in a push up position for too long could affect your bench the next day. This position however would make for a great extra triceps workout the night after benching. You could even put a band around you back for more tension. When you get too worm out you can wrap the band around the top of the bed stand and use the lighten method (or reverse band sex) to knock out a few extra reps.
Recommended positions for the squat and deadlift: For this you also want to be on bottom. This way you can avoid the hamstring cramps from being on top and doggie will play hell on your hip flexors. If you are on bottom all you need to do is lay there and think about your next training session. Now the night after a max effort workout you can get real creative and wrap a band around your knees while on bottom and get in little extra hip work by forcing out on the band. You can also run the band around you back and put on end over each knee and use them to force the knees in for a little extra groin work. For doggie, wrap the band under your knees and the other around your head. Great for kneeling squats. Now for the dynamic squat workout. As we all know this is the most demanding off all training sessions and you are totally fried afterward so sex will be the last thing on your mind. If you use any kind of Thermadrol or anything else you probably wont work right ant way. This is wear you need the bands to help you out. This is really wear the lighten method on top comes in. You can also get at it doggie with one end of the band around your hips and the other around your partner for a super thrust. This way all you have to do is pull back.


I could write a whole book on this but will stop there. Some food for thought.

Thanks for the question ,
Dave

You just call it an extra workout, or do it in the hot tub. It raises GPP and functions as AR too. You can do it for max effort OR speed, but all moves should be deliberate, controlled, and explosive.

what if you do it for max effort? how long of a break do you need before doing speed work?

all moves should be deliberate, controlled, and explosive.

Deliberate, controlled, and explosive, huh? That puts an entirely new spin on training for hypertrophy...

Hey, it's harder than it looks!

Applying counterpressure can be a AR work in and of itself.

So, which of you have tried the "band" approach? Maybe we should take a poll.
