Diet, recovery, drugs, genetics, workouts Probably in that order but I can't say since I've never done drugs Contrast that with what actually sells: Supplements, training programs, gyms with whacky exercise machines, more supplements |

so when they diet down they have so much mass to begin with that is why they are freaks when they are in contest shape |

Had a craaaaaaazy workout yesterday. Hit a new high for 20 reps squats (230 lbs) and overhead press (138 lbs). Did decline barbell bench for 2 plates x 5 for two sets. Then I FINALLY figured out how to use lifting straps. I used them for 95 lbs dumbbell rows for 25 reps (5x5). There's no way I could do more than 1 or 2 reps without them. And then I thought I would give deadlifts a shot with straps. So loaded up 3 plates per side, and pulled SO FUCKING EASILY. That leaves me with a dilemma.. I obviously have really weak grip... well behind the rest of my body. So do I use straps on really heavy pulling exercises like rows and DL, or do I try to train the grip to catch up? How the fuck do you train grip anyway? Obviously they get trained with assisting these pulls, but that's clearly not enough for me. |
do u ever do farmer walks^^^^^^ or get a pre set barbell and do wrist curls but have the barbell behind u |
wrist curls :heckno: I say that because the only people I see doing them are skinny as fuck :fuckthatshit: |
well i dont mean wrist curls but like hard to explain you can even get a dunbell right and hold it and curl it up to your forearm worked for me and i have pretty big forearms |
Like behind your back? Might try these too I hear "fat grips" are really useful too :considered: |
|
:fulloffuck: |
Anyone experienced this before when lifting? Been having problems with my left palm recently. When doing DL/BENCH or something heavy with dumbbells, it feels like my palm/hand is going to split in half. I am scared to lift heavy now since i get that feeling now and then :okay: |
just start gripping the shit out of everything |
|
i just noticed that i am right handed but i use my left for things like dealing cards and other odd things like ..... Quote:

skinny, try doing fist clenches and hold them for 3-5 seconds. I've done this as apart of my martial arts training for years, and my forearms are probably the strongest part of my arms... |

Nahh, i do it during practises, and when i train, the punches i do really help strengthen my forearms. If you do wall sits, you can try doing fist clenches and for like a second or two while youre doing the wall sit, but make sure the wrists are extended, youll be able to work out the flexor muscles more that way... I also do pushups, and believe it or not they really help strengthen the forearms if you do proper form (chest directly overtop of hands) In terms of strength, id really stay away from wrist curls because it places too much stress on the wrists and could be pretty damaging. Grip strength really does help alot with lifts and sometimes its what could give you that extra edge in whether you could take on another plate... |
