Simzy well done thats a great achievement, keep it going.

Sorry I havent posted here for a while, been ill and stressed with exam preps for my university finals!

For forearms I am very simple minded. I uses barbells and bumbells for your basic movements. I train them mostly on back day when going for pull downs.

They seem to work more effectively when you combine these two days together.

This is an odd question but.... In my gym i've never actually seen anyone ever do deadlifts, where abouts should I do them? there are 4 bars, 3 are on benches, 1 in the squat rack, there also isn't much other space in the room, you think I'd get weird looks if I did them in the squat rack?

Where do other people do them?
Anyone else go to JJB?

You do them in the squat rack, there should be holes to position the support bar at the bottom, even if not still do them there as you isolate yourself from others walking around you then

well done there simzy

good lifts mate,are they drop each time or continuous without the plates touching the floor?

simzy

cheers steve,

i try to keep it continuous, the odd 1 may kiss the bar but not enough to give us a break LOL

vinger

continuous? :shock:

What the fu@k are your backs made of?

I sip my tea between reps.

180 x 1 pb last nite though. Best was 160k last month.

Thought of you steve (11 reps with 180k) as the bar pulled me back down 220mph. :?
