Double bw bench achieved. I Know the spotter had his hands on the bar, I asked him for a lift off and he kept his hands on. I have a slight sticking point where the bar slows in the middle too. Also I know the arch is kinda ridiculous but it saves my shoulders. height 6'0'' reach 76''
I guess if your trying to get the weight up by any means necessary then I guess I'll congrats on the lift. If you actually want to say you bench 350 though...... Keep that ass on the bench son.
Check amazon.com they got some really good deals on power racks. Ship to point roberts, get a buddy with a van or SUV and go pick it up. Don't know how hardcore of a rack you want but they got some decent ones at around the ~$300-$400 price point.
Damn $1500 for a rack? I was budgeting that much for my entire setup -- albeit the rack I was going to get wasn't that nice.
$1500 is a lot but I mean, I'd rather spend money on a solid rack. Been wanting this half rack for awhile now too.

I guess it all depends from person to person and where their motivation to lift stands. For me I'm fine at home or at the gym. I usually lift at home if I don't have time to run from school to the gym or work to the gym. Doesn't bore me at all.

Anyone have any secret exercises for increasing shoulder size?
Right now I do Military press's or DB presses, Side lateral raises (cable or DBs) Rear Fly's and at the end of the workout, machine shoulder presses. Not seeing the kind of progress I would like though. School me Brah's.
I throw some upright rows in there some days as well.

Berz out.
what is more or less the first thing you see on any olympic lifter, huge traps and shoulders from all Olympic lifts.
past months i have thrown in cleans or any type of pull and shrug from the ground

These destroy my shoulders every time. But everyone cheats when doing them, I can't even find a video of proper form. Keep your upper arm perpendicular to the floor on the rotation at the bottom of the rep. Rotate the weights 180 degrees and tap them together right in front of your face before reversing the motion and pressing.
Just got back from chest day, cable flies from all 3 spots are increasing my strength tremendously. Had no problems with 70lb db flat presses, thinking of attempting 75lbs next week if I don't start with incline.
does anyone take a Casein protein shake before bed? i heard that can help build muscle, boost yer metabo, and burn fat while you sleep as casein is a slow releasing protein compared to whey

I do them the 'cheat' way by doing it all in one motion instead of rotate then press. I love em this way. NOTHING hits my shoulders as hard as this. Sets of 10-12 with about 20lbs less than my usual dumbell press.
any GOOD quad workouts that dont involve using the knee?
right knee is still messed up
that's technically impossible since every movement you do that involves the quads also involves the knee cap... the only thing you can do is minimize the resistance that you do on your quad exercises. Or you can choose to not do touch quads until your injury is recovered
