Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

Bruh I take like 5 big breaths between each rep on working sets of deads

You gotta breathe on those, damn near hyperventilate if you need to

----------------------------

I HATE HATE HATE dudes who load up the bench w/respectable weight, and don't bring the shyt anywhere close to their chest... TAKE THAT shyt TO THE CHEST nikka... runnin around talkin about, "yea i bench like 245x10"... w/15" arms

I've heard taking arms below parallel is what puts your shoulder joint in an awkward position and increases your likelihood of a rotator cuff injury

I switched to parallel and my bench has gone up 20 lbs

Are DBs better for the lanky brehs

I think my thumb is up to it. Already using DBs again for shoulder press

its all about the articulation between your shoulder/chest with the range of motion

even shoulder press going below parallel can put your shoulder in an awkward spot

the minute i switched everything up my numbers are rising

past parallel you stretch your chest considerably(the tendon for the pectoralis is on the back of the humerus)

I was like

brehs. for rows, heavy DB all the way. Ive been doing BB rows/ Tbar rows, weighted pullups all that for years.


Nothing got my lats on straight status than HEAVY DB rows. one arm at a time, Brace yourself on the db rack, and row it like you pulling the string on a lawnmover. pull it at about a 70degree angle from the floor. As heavy as you can 4-5 reps, no more.

^^^^ i agree but my gym don't got db's over 150lbs

My work schedule is crazy as shyt, and so much personal life nonsense, so I really don't have a ton of time to put in work.

As a result I put myself through an insane full body circuit 2-3 days a week as possible. Good lawd I feel like dying right now

im anticipating that. My row strength has been shooting up, im at 115x5 now.

What id figure id do is when i max out. then try to do it both arms at a time, unbraced, similar to a bent over bb row. Your row would drop significantly then.

then it seems like it's becoming more of a stabilization exercise

i'd rather just do heavy deadlifts and weighted pullups, your lats aren't gonna get that much bigger unless u put on some mass anyway
