New Good Morning PR

[brianmincher]

Regarding groove briefs, I bought a heavy duty pair of them, and i sent in actual measurements, and I can't get the damn things up to my nut sack. The leg openings stick just above my knees. I have worked myself into a serious sweat trying to get the damn things on and no dice.

Anyone that wants them can have them, just pm me and send me enough to cover the postage and they are yours. But it had better be one of the smaller members of the board or your ass ain't fittin in them.

Thanks, Big Okie. Brian had Karen make the alterations to his last shirt and was very satisfied. I am definitely going to order from Karen. Triple ply (200+ lbs.) sounds nice but I think I'll start with a double and go from there.

Your good-mornings look good. Very similar to my numbers. I've done 455-495 for doubles and singles but these include a little "leg action" as well. I read something from one of the Westside guys a while back that said when they do good-mornings they load as much weight as they can and they don't care what it looks like coming back up as long as the movenment can be completed. If you have to make a 1/4 squat out of it; so be it. As long as the rear chain is overloaded that is all that matters. Do you agree?

What the Hell do you think that 385 off the pins looked like???

Yes i have heard this as well and wholeheartedly agree. I try and keep strict form with lighter weights, but as Dave Tate says, when the weights get heavy, just get the damn thing up!

Triple ply

Careful on a triple ply shirt. There is almost nowhere that allows them. Maybe just some unsanctioned local meets. That being said, i would love to try one out though. But Halbert and Patterson, have gone back to the double ply. I don't know. I would not give up my open back double ply for anything. I wear it just like PLjay did in that picture posted on the board.

Double Denim soon to be mine...

Thanks for the info Brian. I'll get back with you about the April 6 training date. I'll know something by early next week.

My damn groove briefs are going back. My big ass is too fat.

Nice work on the pr. I hit a 335 pr yesterday for a double. I've also heard about it dowsn't matter what it looks like as long as it gets back up. I try to keep it as strict as posible and sit way back but the knees will always bend a little under those kind of weights.
Dave told us that this is how they found GM sqauts. He bet a buddy like 50 bucks or something that he couldn't GM like a 500 and the guy GM'ed it down and then squated it back up and he lost the bet.

GM's

My form was pretty tight on the standing gm's. When I get back to them I bet that when the weight gets heavier I may be doing a little squirming. I really like the seated because there is nowhere to go but up and if it's too heavy you get pinned. That adds a little adrenaline to the lift. Did you like the gm's started at the bottom, I have yet to try these and they do sound good? Has anyone tried these with bands added?

I would like to try the triple ply too but I think it would be more of a novelty since you couldn't use it much. It does sound awesome though.

Brian all i can say is if yu wanna pull keep up the good morning. I have been doing stiff legs and love them as well. When you get the chance get a reverse hyper. But all combined you dont need to pull often at all.

No to triple ply. There banned everywhere. Even though i have seen people sneak them a few times. But if you can get all you can out of a double ply then you need to register a 700 plus then go triple for 800. Cause i cant lockout 700 (yet) , but i have a shirt that it will take 700 to touch, and its 2xply.

Just call the gym "THE DUNGEON"!

 

[b fold the truth]

Heck of a workout man. I never thought about doing my GM's at the same shoulder position as my deadlift would be. I may have to give this a try...or at least see where I am doing mine at.

What stance do you use on the gm's...and for your pulls?

Great job on the PR. I at the moment hate good mornings especially since they put me outta tha game.

Question:

When I get back I know it's the best lower back excercise i've found and it has helped my deadlift more than squat(due to torso and long arms), but what should I do so I don't get injured again??? I don't think it's a smart idea for me to do them by singles or triples I was going for an attempt at 205 for a triple as a new PR for myself b/c my best was 195 for a triple and on the second attempt 205 messed myself up. Should I do them seated or that won't make a difference????
