Surely it would be way different...I know when I deadlifted 550 the first 6 inches was hell...the next 6 inches was hard then the rest was like doing a half squat with 450...real easy

 

Depends on an individuals weakpoints though. As some people have a tough time off the floor, tough time at the knees or tough time at the lockout. Since using a conventional stance I seem to have a tough time at the knees but easy time off the floor and at lockout.

 

Did the vehicle have an engine in it?

i didn't see the episode, but I would venture to say no.

 

Oh, wow. What the heck is that? Bigbwii, that is so crazy! How long did you hold that?? I'm totally blown away. Can I do that?

 

What does "freestanding" mean when doing a handstand??

 

It's just Photoshop!

 

 

 

 

I agree. It does look photshopped.

...I am kidding! Great pics!

Criss Angel on his television show "Mindfreak" deadlifted a 3,500 lb car.

 

this leads me to believe the the mind is the strongest muscle. And I am gonna go back to pushing my limits.

and how wonderful camera tricks are. I have seen females dead lift the end of a car. It really isn't that hard. You just have to be able to dead 400 ish or so.

go to http://www.weightliftingdiscussion.com/routines.html and check out the gaugler routine. It is a great way to increase your bench.

Fox is for the Republicans and CNN and NPR are for the Dems. That is about how it goes. Unfortunately it is getting harder to sift through the crap.

What are kinds of foods that boost recovery times? Are there some supplements that could help speed up recover as well?

Just did 56 here.

My longest session was probably also my most stupid session as well. When I first started lifting I would perform the same exercise for 3-4 hours. I remember doing DB bench presses for 4 hours straight once then went and did inclines for another hour or two.

boliver

LOL good point.

that is awesome. I figured it wouldn't be hard to beat. My abs were sore from all the sit ups yesterday. I still doubt I could have beaten the ten minute mark.

Here's a challenge for people. lay on the ground lift your legs just two inches off the ground and hold them there for as long as you can. Legs must stay straight.

My time=3 min. 4 sec.

The bar has been set.

boliver

are these parallel bar dips or bench dips? also is it arms to pits or just a ninety degree bend in the elbow?

I never really tested my squat.

I don't have a chin up bar so I just found a tree limb. first attempt on this actually surprised myself. I thought I would fall after 20 seconds or so but stayed on for 53 seconds. Three minutes is awesome. Maybe a year or more from now and I might approach that mark. Congrats.

boliver

thanks

your form on the bench press is pretty good. I would recommend trying to pinch your shoulder blades real tight together and try to arch your back as far as you can as long as you keep your bum on the bench. The wider grip is also hits the chest muscles more and eventually you will be stronger with the wider grip. I like your elbow angles keep it 45 degrees from your body like you have. all in all great form.

techno for me.

I am getting into shape for Basic Combat Training and recently found this site. I really like this bodyweight high rep stuff. I decided to try sit ups for an hour and post that here.

I got 400 in 40 min. when I developed a rug burn on my bum. I did a few more, but simply couldn't do more. I am sure some might do more, but that is my starting point.
