Number Ten Ox Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I have always lifted block weights and such off of my carpet floor, would I bust out PR's by switching to cement? Anyone tried lifting off of a bouncy surface like a bed? On a somewhat related note, what kind of lifting form provides heaviest lifts? Straight arm bend over w/ straight legs lift w/ back, straight arm bend legs ala dead lift or the way I have hub lifted the most was kneeling next to plate w/ one knee and one leg, one hand next to weight and used my other shoulders and back to row the plate up.

foggymountainmuscle Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 With most grip lifting, when the grip is so difficult that the weight is very light, I do best stiff legged, straight armed, on a hard surface. I only use soft or elastic surfaces to bounce weight off of, otherwise I find that I'm dragging the weight into the surface as I pull up.

I do not bounce the blob on the mattress. The mattress springs allows me to pull the blob up about three inches. It still won't clear the matress but it does move up since the springs are aiding me and since I am lifting the proper dimensions with a lighter amount I figured it is a form of microloading.

Anuwbius Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 (edited) Awhile back a shared how I was using my bed as a device to help get the blob into the air and provide a one handed negative in a way. Found it to be a great device for training. Theres a vid of it in my gallary. Thats definitly the easiest. However, I find concrete to be the hardest. On hard surfaces, either your gonna pick it up, or your not. There is no middle ground for me. I go to a hard surface when its time to make things official.

Number Ten Ox Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Sweet, this is just what I was looking for. I actually remember when you first posted that video but couldn't remember who had it. Pardon the troll. Now I just wait until my blob gets here. On a totally different note, anyone have video of a RT lift? May need to start a new thres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
