Rymon Log of Lifting

@dt79 for me bracing was this… take good breath… hold ur abs like somoone gonna bunch u in belly… and curnch small curnch to make my chest locknig my abs… well…
for 5x10 i liked it for squat… i wont do it for upper days…
how many pressing u want me to do for my chest? i usually do incline flyes… with chest day…
lat stright arm pull down doesnt feel a thaing… but last night i was hitting seated row cloe grip
and i did something new… i tried to squeeze lats every time i pull so i fouldnt pull any father tthen my back… and that felt likea lock out… was cool… idk what that… but i did it…pull shoulder back and down and squeeze … felt like elbow was resting on my lats realy

elbow in front or pulling to side?

2-3 presses with 1-2 sets to failure each will be enough.

You do not have to pull your shoulders back to hit the lats.

How can your elbows be out to the sides when you are leaning back while pulling the bar down toward the floor? Think about the pull up. You don’t go up in a straight line. You start with your head under the bar at the bottom. Where do you end up at the top?

Likewise, for lat pulldowns, you start with the pulldown bar above your head. When you pulldown, you lean back. The pulldown bar will end up in front of you.

okay so chest might be 3 pressing and 2 flyes? flyes would be higher rep good idea?
oay u lost me… shurg when bench

What are you doing NOW? Exercises, reps and sets.

Which of these exercises do you think give you the best results?

last time i did 2 war up sets of bench empty bar and 20 kilo each kilo rep each
then 3 woking sets… 1 was 8 reps of 25 kilo each side… no flaiure
2 was set of 30 kilo 8 reps… last was 30 kilo for 8 and it got hard
then shallow incline dumbell press 3 sets of 30 kilo dumbell… the dumbell u call 75 lbs… 8 8 6 reps 3 to faliure
then flat dumbell pres… 3 set of 30es and then incline flye… done

I don’t know. I have never tried this.

HOWEVER, even then, this is just one variation of the bench. The type of benching I showed you works well. I don’t see a reason to do something different unless there’s a good reason for it.

i thought chrtain is lifting god ol so i wanted to show u… u saw my chest plan? its random not plan so i never got it online

It’s fine. Nothing wrong with it.

That does actually look pretty decent

makes me sore bro… !! NEW SQUAT RECORD… 35 KILO EACH SIDE 8 STICT REPS… WENT DOWN … FELT SOILD … I THINK THE 5X10 squat did something to me i got rly strong

That’s good. Squats definitely seem to like volume

u mean in my case?
ps or bs idk >>… scale down to 187 lbs from 192

u saying i can stay the same but squat more? then whats impoving?.. got to be something getting stronge that cuasing the power gained? its like saying u can curl more but not gain any size… EXPLANINING TIME !!

The squat = also need skill because many muscles involved that must work together.

So you get better at this, you can get stronger without getting bigger…

Curl = not much skill, few muscles involved

You get stronger, you are probably getting bigger.

as bodybuilder i waanna know… is it safe to train side raise for o delt? ?why i retract on these? pak said so…

Why not? I’ve used up to 60lb dumbbells on these lol. It becomes unsafe when the weight you are using is too heavy for you to handle. E.g, your shoulders roll foward while using your traps to lift, you cheat too much with your hips and try to control the negative, you turn it into a db upright row and there’s too much shoulder rotation going on etc.

You don’t retract. You depress your shoulder blades and “shrug downwards” so your shoulders don’t roll foward and your traps don’t take over.

Yours and others. Doing BBB and FSL my squat went up a bunch, so you and I both benefit from volume for squats.

In your case it’s doubly good because volume lets you practice the squat, so you get more skilful; and volume also drives growth so you you get bigger.

Ok, shoulder back, but not so far back like on the bench press. Does this make sense?

What are you now? The Form Police? Don’t be a namby pamby, Nancy.
