My Training Journal

[JDid23]

cant you guys figure it out? You know what a static hold is right? Well imagine hammer preacher curls... its a static hold at aprox the mid point of the ROM. Static training is good for arm wrestling and I did these a long time ago when I was too injured to do any curls or forearm stuff and saw a small increase in size in my forearms, namely the brachioradialis. They are killer when you're already fatigued as I was from gripper and deads (which I did double over on all reps btw) and I just felt like giving them a try.

Jdid what do you think would be hardest on my back 110x50 or 225x5... Its 90mins post workout Im at home and my legs still feel like jelly

Anyway I couldnt walk out of a lower session without having felt like I did any work so I thought well my back can support light weights so Ill just give it one set with 50kg, my original plan was just to go to 20 reps and have a light 20 rep set, but then 30 reps was close then I thought F it lets go to 50, it wasnt too hard either, my traps were burning like a mother after let alone my legs...

jdid nevermind getting "toned" I think a t-shirt that said "clusterfuck or die trying" would look good on you

good shit i am guessing your back felt fine?

I clusterfucked my way to a Deadlift 355 and Squat 275 ATG @ 160 lbs in 7 months. I'll take that shit

Also, bit hypocritical on the clusterfucking babe.


i actually chuckled at the clusterfuck or die trying. pretty good one

I'm sorry man but I have to say it: You are not big enough nor have been lifting long enough to say one exercise gave you an increase in size. No offense meant, but unless you have been bodybuilding for 10+ years and are a jacked mofo who knows his body perfectly, it is impossible to say when something adds a little size to your forearms...there is just no way. Still great job on 110x50!!!!

This is true there are way too many other variables that could have caused that, especially at your age when your body is constantly and growing changing due to puberty. Its impossible to pin your growth on one exercise.

haha so your saying unless you have 10 years experience you cant learn what exercises work well for you in terms of size because there is too many variables

yeah ok

as I said I was too injured to do pretty much anything, I would have to look back on my log but I remember pretty much just doing deadlifts for upper body, I could do any press or any pull I couldnt even do a barbell curl. All I said was last time I did them, my forearms grew a bit and I got recomended them again by alcatraz the other day and thats how I remembered about them.

Sorry, but i disagree..... Not with EM specifically, but generally speaking. 10 years is a lot of time. I think after a few years, someone knows what works and what doesn't work if they've been monitoring their routine carefully.

 

[ExtraMile]

lol iv been lifting weights longer than you and tblock put together

 

[Tblock1]

Yeah but there is no way em could know if one single exercise added to his routine caused a little growth on his bracs, that is the most ridiculous bullshit I have ever heard. But seriously man I mean no offense I just think it is hard to say that about one exercise.

I dunno man...it really depends.

For example, Unilateral RDLs are a "faith" exercise in that you won't be able to say definitely that "doing Unilateral RDLs added X amount of weight to Y lift" but it will prevent any possibly imbalances plus potentiality for injuries.

At the same time, developing a strong Overhead Squat will improve your core strength plus it will add certain weight to your regular squat because of the technique factor.

So I guess it depends on which exercise is being added/sub'ed in/out.
