thinking about it... my back has been injured quite a bit
are there any protection I can wear while I do squats and dead-lifts etc?
seen some people wear like something on them before (have no idea what is it called)
Damnnnn only 285 x 2 and 275 x 3.5 for DL. Ill never reach 315 for 1RM by 2012. FUH, must work on grip strength. Any suggestions? Posted via RS Mobile
CHALK
im at 245x5, 255x5 but on 255 my back isnt arched properly so im going to try rackpulls usually after a while of those your deadlift will increase as well ive heard

Hmmm that could be a factor actually cause I just do according to videos
do lifting belts help protect the back?
They can but in my opinion I'd only use a belt when I'm going stupid heavy and that's the only time you should even let your form slip a little bit, and that's when a belt should help you.
For everyday, you shouldn't need a belt. Stop lifting weights wearing running shoes, squat/deadlift in socks. Focus on your form and strength will follow.
My favourite workouts? Lately, overhead press. Feel so badass doing it, and when you load up more than a plate on it, people think you're going to deadlift it, then they see you pressing it after lifting it off the ground, problem?
did rackpulls yesterday....had a badass time trying to sleep until i popped 1000mg of robax; slept like a baby after. I know im growing, I hope...hahaha

Yah I am stuck at 315x2 reps for DL as well. I DL with socks only but I still haven't tried chalk. I'll start doing rackpulls. I used to do power shrugs on shoulder days I will start it again at the end of my work out. Really want 315x5!
for the 100th time start doing fuckin rack pulls i dont preach that shit for no reason if u wanna increase your deadlift.
and for grip, i developed a grip of a titan by doing powershrugs early in the year...
If my gym has no power cage and only a squat rack can i still do rack pulls by putting a platform there to give me more leverage? Haven't really seen that before though.
Yesterday was squat day. Did 8 sets 4 reps with 315. Never been able to keep that endurance up for that many sets. Btw I weigh 152. Posted via RS Mobile

why on earth would you want 8 working sets unless you're on a straight powerlifting routine?
up the weight man you can obviously handle it.

Rack pulls are really helping my DLs. I've been at them for 2-3 weeks now and I've been able to pull up 3 reps of my old max (4 plates each side) Posted via RS Mobile
