Well you can only go as far as YOU can go...

Sorry what?

But isnt he supposed to go a bit deeper/closer to the floor?

Its dependant on his strength levels.

With the weighted vest, I definitely have appreciation for him.

Yes, but then he could loose the vest and go deeper. Like upping the weight on the bar and do less ROM.

Do you think these are harder than standing ab wheel rollouts?

Congrats on 10' dunk you old fart.  :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Didnt look like you even tried to jump high. Nice job.

PR in 5 bilateral jumps with 14.32m. Old PR was 14.20 at a lighter bw. And I did this after throwing for over 1 hour. More is possible if Im fully rested.

Yeah, I'm going with low rep sets and a high rep set at the end.

nice!

hope it works out well, but by hope i mean i know it will.. glad you're getting into some of this higher rep stuff, and those tke's are going to really help you.. flanderr loves em, had them programmed into his routine for the longest. :F

Yeah TKE is amazing. 4x15-20 reps and your vastuses are toast. Great ender on a leg workout.

God I hate powerlifters

All good. Everyone who does proper lifting hates bodybuilders anyway.

Both are gay

It's not that I hate the sport, I just hate the athletes in the sport. Compare the professionalism of powerlifting competitions to olympic lifting competitions.




Hahahaha. I could be his slim friend.

Further explanation is required.

Edit: To give an answer more tailored to what you actually wanted to know...

Your question suggests time of rest between sets to be the deciding factor on whether one gains mass or not. That is not the case since "calories-in minus calories-out" determines whether you gain or lose bodyweight.

Provided "calories-in minus calories-out" matches with your respective goal optimal rest times will vary with the rest of your training parameters (sets, reps, exercise, etc.). For example if sets, reps and weight should stay the same, rest times would vary and decrease as indicator of progress. In other cases one might stick to similar rest times and another variant is to not care about it as long as weight/reps/sets goes up.

So in short: It depends, but nutrition will decide whether you gain mass or not.

I realize nutrition is a huge part of it.  But what I'm trying to ask is, let's say theres 2 completely equal guys eating the exact same diet and both doing the Bench Press.  If one's primary goal is building a bigger chest/triceps, and the other's primary goal is just get stronger upper body, and limit as much mass gains as possible, would there be a different way of doing the exercise for each? 

Yes. Im not going to get into diet. Thats not my thing.

But training wise theres a huge difference. As I would do it, guy building mass would do 2-4 sets of 8-12 reps with short pause between sets, ie. 60secs.

For the guy wanting strength gains with minimal hypertrophy Id do 3-5 sets of 3-5reps with relatively long pauses 3-5min.

Again everything depends on what kind of exercise, main or support, the person, effort put into the lift and so on. I always start novices with hypertrophy, standard 3x10, p60.

You need to get a weight measurement in the videos for the relative list. The rest has been updated. Either add the weight measurement to the video or make a seperate video. I need a vid like that for every new relative vid.

lol, i don't get it! You want weight measurement on video but on the other hand you include calculated 1RMs...


How does that argument make sense? I allow calculated 1RMs because 1RM lifts in my perspective are relatively more dangerous because of form breakdowns.

I want weightmeasurements on video because that way theres no doubt the person weighs what he claims. Do I call you a liar? No. Do I think you would try and cheat? No. But somebody might, so cutting everyone equally.

If you don't want to update my old lifts, just take them out of the relative list. There was also no video proof of my weight!

Well I accepted those because I wanted to get the list going. I have from the start stated in the rule post, that I wanted a weightmeasurement with the video. If you dont want to provide such a vid I can take them of the relative list, but I think that would be a shame since youre one of the strongest guys on board relative to weight and it would be a small matter to make a weightmeasurement on video.

Your call.
