But after warming up it felt decent, but a little something could be felt near lockout. ) Curls 111x12 Then immediately after 45x12. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Parker Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Eric, how much does your belt help with your squats? im asking because my squat is the same with a belt or not so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks, nice lifting latly too and your bodyweight is coming up pretty good too, I think we'll be the same weight in a week or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work man, also I like the way you lay out your deadlift training. Big lifts, big assistance lifts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more rep at that percentage of your max is huge. Lookin' at it like that I feel a little better. Eric, how much does your belt help with your squats? im asking because my squat is the same with a belt or not so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks, nice lifting latly too and your bodyweight is coming up pretty good too, I think we'll be the same weight in a week or two Belts have always improved both my squats and deadlift by 30 pounds. I wonder if your lack of improvement with a belt could be the result of your technique. Are you an upright sqautter, as opposed to my goodmorning style? Deadlift 519x5 Stiff Legged Deadlift 335x8 (no belt) Shrugs 507x12 Rows 287x2x5 Body weight 217 You must be recovered from that 20 rep set!!! Nice work man, also I like the way you lay out your deadlift training. Big lifts, big assistance lifts Yes, I felt slightly sluggish, but pretty much recovered. It's fun to go heavy on assistance stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Parker Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Eric, I'm not real sure, I've never really gotten technical with squats as I don't plan to compete in powerlifting, just want my legs stronger. Next squat workout I'll do a video from the side and maybe you could give me some form critique? I'd really appreciate it. I squat again Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricMilfeld Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 How hot is it in my garage gym? During my workout I ate a Cliff Bar, drank 8 oz coffee, 12 oz protein powder, and 8 oz water, and I still lost 1.5 pounds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been getting over 100 last few weeks. Gotta love the great state of Texas!I'll break out my box fan on occasion. It doesn't do much. It could be worse for us. I saw a news story yesterday about the heat index topping 160 degrees (163 I think) in Iran! Didn't know that was even possible. The temp was only 115.

Hit's 90 in PA and I just about need a wheelchair. 90 and muggy isn't exactly pleasant. The proverbial dry heat suits me fine. I think I'd rather have 115 and dry than 80 and tropical. But my favorite workout temp is about 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvance Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yeah Middle East heat is a whole new level. Feels like the sun is 10 feet over your head and the wind feels like jet exhaust.

We used to lift in a tent - I definitely forgot what that's like! I've experienced similar visiting my aunt in Bullhead City, Arizona. On a windy summer day its like sucking on a blow dryer. I just had a guy come in the emergency room from India, he was wearing a long sleeve shirt a sweater a wool coat at also cap and a scarf and he said he was freezing he said he just got off the plane and it was a hundred and twenty in India so his family had him bundled up so he wouldn't be cold Lol. So was he in the emergency room for hypothermia? Cant wait to get moved to GA. 100 suits me fine...beard and all. F this snow stuff!!!! Georgia's a nice place. But I still like snow... minus the driving in it part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
