people don't mess around with you if you're pushing yourself harder than they are
but then the really thick skin ones are a different story

Yep overhand grip, i drop pretty fast down. But the pain only comes when i'm pulling up, not down.



He's definitely bigger size than me, not sure whether it's fats or muscles or a combi of both though.

From his bench, 12.5kg per side on smith machine, i'm not really intimidated by him though =S
If he bench 125kg total then yeh, LLST. I'll think twice lol.

And thanks btw =D

He can bench 5 plates a side but it does not give him the right to be an arse. Come to think of it I only had positive experiences with people larger than me, its usually the little pricks that have an attitude.

Who thinks benching 60kg is badass coz seldom in commercial gyms do you see someone put one wheel on each side.

I think your pain is caused by your rapid descent. And you go all the way down right? As in you lock out your shoulders.[/QUOTE]

Nah not always. Happens only 20% of the time for each rep.
Usually just leave it around

Very true. Those benching like 30-40kg per side 1 usually very friendly 1.

Don't ignore the pain if you want lifting longevity.

You can minimise the pain by 1) switching to a neutral or underhand grip, 2) controlling your descent 3) not locking out fully at the bottom.

Good luck!

Bingo! I think i know why already.

1st one ALWAYS hurts, i don't know why.
And the last 3-7 reps i usually go down to lockout to rest abit.

Anyway, i will try controlling my descent next time i pullup =D

Thanks.

Dude I do . Man these badasses jump off the elliptical/treadmill/stationary bike and load up 60kgs which to most is their 5 top half rep max weight and do a few sets of that. I start off using with just the bar for 2-5 sets hehe i'm wimpy.

Some people say resting at the bottom makes it easier. Others say doing so is harder as you have to start from a deadstop.

Some people say not locking out fully between reps makes it harder because you are maintaining tension on the targeted muscles. Others say doing so is easier as there is a shorter ROM.

The arguments go on...

I had a similar problem as well but it is usually at the tail end of a set and i could sometimes feel the shoulder shift a little so I am extra careful at the full stretch position making sure that I mantain some tension even when locking out. The thing that caused it is probably one of the rare times when my descent was not controlled probably when in a fatigued state.

$6 for a few small pieces of chicken is a waste of money. $6 can get you a protein-rich economical rice meal.

[Bear943]

Well. let me name a few.

db restricted to certain part of the gym - with 20kg dumbells no problem
no weighted pull up/dips - no problem
Only soundless deadlift allowed - do they have a vacuum chamber ?
no grunting- no problem
no chalk - no problem
no ipod/mp3 - no problem
no bare footed squat - no problem

Sign. =(

In any case i did bent over rows for 8 sloppy reps there previously with 3.5 pps, there was a lot of noise from the clanging of the plates and when i put the bar down -no one came over to reprimand me though

maybe because i can only do 2.5pps thats why they come and screw me. hahahax.!

 

[Soul77]

$4 only =S

IMHO take 1 plate + 2 scoop of protein is better. $4 also
