derp derp...chest day....
cannot wait to wear tight v-neck shirt after gym.... :ilied:

No it was a short word i remember. Thi nk there may have been a Z n there...
I ve tried melatonin many times over the years all it does is make my eye lids heavy does nothing else... tried popping a lot at once still nothing

It's called zma !

^ id thank ya but im on mobile bro
So which zma brand would you recommend Halo? And what website could i grab it from?

I'm wanting Kai to win... Not saying the other bodybuilders don't also put in hardwork, but this guy has put in way too many sacrifices to win the sandow and he definetly deserves it... Like the documentary says, he lives the life of a monk in a modern day atmosphere... trains with the discipline of a monk and lives in very humble conditions

I do heavy Squats and Heavy Deadlifts so my lower back takes a beating on more than 1 day a week so doing standing overhead presses doesn't give my back hardly any rest days at all so I don't really like doing them. I do standing presses on weeks when I don't deadlift but the weight is only 1 plate and I go for reps rather than weight. The bar I use for seated has a U bend in the middle too allowing me to bring my arms directly beside my head instead of having to go in front of my face as I find that puts odd stress on my shoulders.

Phil Heath next 8 years

Tried a 315lb Deadlift max reps today. Button on my shorts popped at 7 reps and my pants were falling down so I had to stop at 8. I'll post the vid when I get home.

Looking for some technical deadlift reading material/videos.
Any links that you guys think actually helped in increasing the weight and form would be much appreciated.
I got a lower back injury so I always just drop the weight if i start breaking form and need the belt when I start nearing my limit.
Finally did 3 plates for 1 rep yesterday but the second attempt I just couldn't budge it. Didn't arch my back much at all though.

Another question, which combination of exercises would best replicate the effects of deads without the lower back risk?
thanks

rackpulls, seated rows, Tbar rows...sumo deadlifts....

I think you need to start working out in shorts that don't have buttons.

Hehehe

Check out Mark Bell's powerlifting channel. There isn't one video that will teach you everything, but if you take the time to watch enough of the videos you're gonna pick up a lot of good stuff here and there.

You simply can't lift with good form without sufficient mobility.

he needs to clean up his mid section

Was doing squats/legs today with luder, came home... and found out I tore my boxers completely in half... Berz you're not alone... lol

Time for some new boxers

yeah, i see what you mean... but tbh jay didn't really have that great of a mid section back then anyway... its def gonna be a disadvantage for kai being 5'7

Not sure if link will work. Posting from my phone.

Updated cut progress pics in the group :spamarama:

I dont get how you guys are always ripping your boxers and shorts while squatting. I've never had a problem with my short shorts. Are you wearing boxers that are 2 sizes too small?

Great work, Berz. I'll post a video this weekend, too!
Let's all do this :D

Thanks I was hoping for 20. We will see next week.

Any comments on form? :troll:

Berz out.

lol @ the end...

good work man, im diggin the new haircut too :fullofwin:

I was expecting more shorts coming off action. What a gyp.



























:troll:

well no, i buy boxers that fit me... and then I grow and get bigger, and proceed with the squats. And then all of a sudden it no longer fits me.
