I noticed you use the Fat bar. Your numbers are great. Did the Fat bar help you with your lifts? We have one at our gym but I have only used it once.
That fat bar has helped me with my overhead lifts and my grip strength. I enjoy doing push presses with it. It is literally like pushing a dead weight. No collar rotation or flex in the bar. Curls are fun too, puts a hell of a pump ino the biceps.
Train Hard.

I used the fat bar to curl today. It was tough but definitely worked the biceps.

BiggJames,
The training looks strong.How did that swiss ball treat you? I switched my deadlift to sumo style. I’m a wide stance squat guy and it seems to be going good. Any feedback you can give me would be appreciated.TRAIN HARD! Jimmy T

Thanks Jimmy T
When doing Sumo, this is what I do. My shins are at or just a little outside the lines on the bar. I make sure my toes are pointed out \ /, and I grip with my middle finger right at where the gnurling ends and the smooth part of the bar begins. I then make sure that I squat down really deep and rock back onto my heels. I then try to explode the bar up, I can not squeeze the bar off the ground like some do.
So I need to do a slight rocking motion from my heels onto my toes and then back to my heels and try to pop the bar off the ground. I make sure my head is nuetral and that I keep my chest high. I keep pulling and then pull my hips in using the screw technique, or driving my hips forward at the end.
I am not a good sumo stance lifter, so that is why I lift conventionaly.
I hope this helps.

oh large one… what benefit(if any) besides that is a contest event that you need to practice, would you attribute to the viking press over other overhead/upperbody pressing movemnts?
