PowerHouse Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 09/24/07Squat (chain suspended/start from bottom) - 150x5, 200x5, 240x3, 240x3, 240x5 Overhead Squat (chain suspended/start from bottom) - 105x1, 150x1, 150x1 HS 4way Neck - 35+mini band x 20 45min walk The chain suspended stuff is awesome - forces perfect form. Any of you who complain they cant squat or whatnot with out fancy racks and such get some chain and loading pins and get to work. Might be a silly question but how does it force perfect form? Nice workout, I need to start doing OH squats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Well, I guess "forcing perfect form" is a bad way to describe it. Because the weight is hanging by chain, it obviously wants to move around a lot, especially if you dont keep your body very tight. I suppose "forcing" one to use a more managable weight would be a better way to describe it - at least until the body adjusts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odin Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Heres the best I've ever done on the RT - an attempt at 235lbs in plates - was pretty close, wish I would've got it Wow! The InchDB must be a piece of shit for You! Do You already tried the Inch? I would guess that anyone who can do , should have the ability. Morgan, you are amazingly strong and your videos are great.

maidenfan Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 We'll see, my homemade "Inch" replica should be ready in a day or two. 2 x pieces of 8" long, 7" diameter CRS welded to a 5" or so piece of 2 7/16" crs. Should come out about 181lbs or so. The whole thing cost me $97! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalachiMcMullen Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Nice deep OHS! Still loving the MG Bell too! Can you put it overhead? I tried with my baby BFDB to no avail, it went halfway up and came back down hard into my shoulder everytime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) Havent tried putting it overhead yet, but I suspect I already know how that would go I know what you mean by the db's coming down hard on your shoulders - I usually have a bunch of bruises and red marks from the edges of the plates. I'll get the OHP someday, but just lifting it with both hands is the immediate goal. Edited October 8, 2007 by maidenfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
