are there any benefits of going 90 degrees? I find it's harder to do them going 90 degrees. Maybe what future mentioned about balance?

i think the closer to 90 degrees takes away from the traps and brings the mid back and lats more into play... but does get hard to balance.,.

beautiful full squat!!!... too bad you didnt get a video of that... sounds like youre good for a bit more...

today - OHP day...

so i fell asleep when i got home from school and woke up at 8.00pm, gym closes at 9.00pm so I had to rush around grab whatever i could to eat which turned out to be a glass of milk, 2 bananas, a cup of coffee, a bread roll and a cereal bar lol. Wasnt gonna miss the workout for anything and got there at 8.35pm lol, rushed around like a madman through all my sets and finished dips at 9.00 then stayed some extra time and helped them clear up all the weights and did my laterals and curls in between tidying up

fuck! got off the leg press and my back hurt so bad I couldnt even pick up the bar for curls without real bad pain. Last week after I failed on deads the hitching hurt my middle right erector, then the 1 arm rows after really fucked it, the twisting I think. So I went kinda light on deads today and went by feel, didnt feel bad at all. I think though the sitting still after on the legpress just made it stiffen up and motherfucker it hurt like a bitch

none atm bro, my forearms get pumped easily. I do reverse curls on deadlift day most of the time but didnt do them today. Thats about it, if my grip started to fail though i would do some farmers walk, thats what i did in the past.

i gotta get u a pic of my forearms bro they're pretty big

 

[the.gladiator1987]

farmers walks! I gotta do those, what day do you do those again?

 

[ExtraMile]

sent u a pm bro

Getting in that leg press machine is just perfect for stiffening up the back, hate it
