mmmmmm ok

die on a crucifix



but can you do the iron cross on the rings? real PLers for Jesus would be able to.

princess0fdiabl0 but can you do the iron cross on the rings? real PLers for Jesus would be able to. No only gymnasts can do that, and we all know that jesus doesn't like homos.

Jesus has nothing to do with your lifting weights. I know you like to think that Jesus supports the fact that you lift weights, but the fact of the matter is... Jesus doesn't give a fuck about you lifting weights.

How many of you do power cleans?

How many of you do power cleans?

And or snatch? I'm thinking of adding these, but they look dangerous and I need someone to teach me them properly (in person) I've been working on the motion with the dingle 80lb bars, but haven't got the balls to use the oly bar

dont do them on your own without information/assistance from someone thats done it

i think most people are better off just doing high pulls

Power cleans are fucking awesome. Weightlifting for football in HS , we had to do these once a week and they built me my favorite bodypart:my traps. It takes a few work-outs to get the hang of them but once I did, they became one of my favorite lifts. Works multiple body parts and works them well.

power cleans are one of my favorite lifts next to deadlifts and bench

what's a clean and press?

hi pull hang hi pull clean w/no dip regular clean w/no dip power clean w/no dip hang clean w/no dip hang clean power clean snatch w/no dip snatch power snatch hang snatch...etc press push press jerk clean and jerk saxon side bend overhead squat rocking squat turkish getup front squat 1 leg sldls bottoms up french press twisting squat and press diagonal snatch slaloms reverse squat w/shldr raise rolling sit ups windmills rocking squat w/snatch and clean etc.. not all power lifts but thats what I have in my notebook, I don't do them all at the same time. Only 2 times a month in with my training....these are all sport specific to MMA.

KingGargantuan what's a clean and press? clean...and press above your head (military)

i just dropped the power cleans from my workout.. but they are awesome. they build explosive power and wail on the traps... but other than that they dont hit anything special. they're mainly used for sports training. and snatches look kinda dangerous, i have yet to try them out.

I've just started doing cleans. Fun as hell! Start with hanging cleans, which are basically an explosive upright row that turns into a front squat. At one point, you won't be able to lift the bar any higher, so you have to snap under it by bending your knees. Try to keep the bar as close to your body as possible. (And you don't need to bend as much as the model is.) On the right side of this page is a whole bunch of mini workouts: http://www.exrx.net/Lists/PowerExercises.html

Return Bend knees slightly and lower barbell to mid-thigh position. Slowly lower bar with taut lower back and trunk close to vertical. The advanced athlete may unload (drop) the bar from the completed position. This technique may be practiced to reduce the stress or fatigue involved in lowering the bar as prescribed. Use rubber weightlifting plates on a weightlifting platform if this unloading method is used (unless floor demolition is desired).

unless you are doing sports, or actually enjoy them. I dont see a reason for doing them.

We did them religiously all throughout high school for football.

Evidence. We did them religiously all throughout high school for football. I love those. We called them Clean & Jerk. I was doing 285lbs when I was at 160lbs.

Mike McShit they are not like an explosive upright row at all you start with a hip snap then an explosive shrug with your traps then pull yourself under your arms should not do any of the work I'm talking about hanging cleans, not regular cleans. "Jump upward extending the body. Shrug the shoulders and pull the barbell upward with the arms allowing the elbows to flex out to the sides, keeping the bar close to the body. Aggressively pull the body under the bar, rotating the elbows around the bar. Catch the bar on the shoulders while moving into a squat position. Hitting the bottom of the squat, stand up immediately."

Mike McShit Um, where did you get that description? Because it is terrible. Momentum from the hip and leg should pull the bar from your belly button to where ever you catch it. If you are using your arms to pull the bar, you are doing something wrong. Think of jumping, the power in your legs and momentum in your arms create the force.

I love power cleans. I got in trouble in HS football for doing nothing but cleans.

How many of you do power cleans?

sweet, 2 days and I got my stuff I asked in the comments if they'd throw me in a shaker cup they did that, plus samples, plus some magazine

Lucky you.

should have asked for a free shirt

i've never gotten a shaker/shirt

im gonna finally get my stuff tomorrow, i hope i get some free shit after all of this trouble.

AznRyda Lucky you. Wow....that sucks

AznRyda Lucky you.

he threw in samples of neuro stim+c, i'm nto going to attribute a good workout to it, but i did seem to be able to do a lil more

okay, the samples they gave me make me more wired than a chimpanzee on crack, i love it even though it tastes similar to vomit

I got 2 shaker cups with my last order from them

ive had 1fast orders take 15+ days, a couple of them, which is why i dont use them anymore, to inconsistant.

Jeff Coleman ive had 1fast orders take 15+ days, a couple of them, which is why i dont use them anymore, to inconsistant. You live about 600 miles closer to them than I do and I've never had it take more than 3 days...

Jeff Coleman ive had 1fast orders take 15+ days, a couple of them, which is why i dont use them anymore, to inconsistant. i've only had 1 bad experience with them, and it happened to be around the holidays. they're a great vendor and i'm happy to deal with them.

guess some of us just arent lucky, its weird i usually do get them in about 3-4 days, but then every once in a while one will take 15+ days, and i will have to go to GNC and buy a small thing of protein to last until my order comes, which really pisses me off. I been ordering from www.allsportsnutrition.com lately, its cheaper than 1fast, shipping is very consistant, and i still get all the free samples, a better free magazine, and all that crap

if it takes long its usually UPS's fault and not 1fast400 right?

Ive ordered about 10 times in the last 6 months from them (I have friends who are less internet savvy). Everything arrived within 2 days each time and Ive always gotten a bunch of extras thrown in there. I wont order from anywhere else.

AznRyda Lucky you. damn. if you had them send it ups i would've gotten it cleared for you

How many of you have ever done Ahren's Presses?

How many of you have ever done Ahren's Presses?

I tried them last week and I think I might use them for a while to switch things up. Difficult, to say the least.

ACURA TL-S I tried them last week and I think I might use them for a while to switch things up. Difficult, to say the least. description, pictures, what the hell is this?

D. Ahrens Press Chuck Ahrens is relatively unknown to most modern trainees, but in his time he was considered to have the strongest shoulders and arms in the world. He was so wide he looked unreal! In his prime, Ahrens could do reps with 200 pound dumbbells in the shoulder press (some people even claim to have seen him press a 300 pound dumbbell with one arm), perform 28 reps with 405 in the bench press, and perform a slow and controlled concentration curl with a 115 pound barbell. One of his shoulder exercises was very peculiar: he'd do overhead dumbbell presses, but instead of pressing them straight up he'd press them up and away laterally (basically doing a "V" with both arms). He had no choice but to press in this matter because he used special loadable dumbbells that were very long; pressing them straight up was thus impossible without the bells hitting each other. What this exercise does is place the shoulders, especially the medial portion of the deltoid, under greater tension as the movement gets completed.

looks interesting. might have to try those tomorrow in place fo the regular db shoudler press

i might try these!

those #s are bs

115lb barbell isn't impressive at all for a curl

Werdna 115lb barbell isn't impressive at all for a curl One armed concentration curls?

cavefish One armed concentration curls? why is he curling a barbell with one arm then?

Hell I don't know but I seriously doubt someone who benched 405 for 28 reps and DB shoulder pressed 300 would only curl 115 with a barbell.

I've done them quite a bit before i cut down on how much overhead pressing I do. I liked them a lot.

cavefish Hell I don't know but I seriously doubt someone who benched 405 for 28 reps and DB shoulder pressed 300 would only curl 115 with a barbell. I agree. Those numbers are believable.

ouch. cant be good for rotators does it hurt?

Sounds like some Irish drink to me

I don't know if I can believe what he benched, but I will have to try these.

200lb db shoulder presses? 300 lbs? bs ronnie just got some 200lb dbs and im not sure if he can do them yet on flat bench

Uh...Ronnie does sets of 10 with the 200lb DB's in a video thats several years old.

But on the other hand Noxen, you may be onto something. Here's an interesting little read on the guy: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/cyberpump14.htm

cavefish Uh...Ronnie does sets of 10 with the 200lb DB's in a video thats several years old. in the cost of redemption he does 160lb db overhead presses..

I was referring to flat bench.

i believe the number and the hype.

cavefish I was referring to flat bench. i dont think he db presses the 200s on fb yet he just got them for his birthday or something..he does do shrugs with them though..

NoXeN i dont think he db presses the 200s on fb yet he just got them for his birthday or something..he does do shrugs with them though.. that was 250's. He does the 200's for 12 in some video, they zoom the camera right up to the "200" on the side of the dumbell before they show him doing them.

ahh my mistake

It looks dangerous for shoulders.

Interesting method of changing fat content of steaks

Interesting method of changing fat content of steaks

Felt like I was watching Good Eats 1. Cut away all of the visible fat, then place steak in a large resealable plastic bag along with 1/2 cup red wine and 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil. 2. Allow the meat to marinate for 24 hours, flip the bag a couple of times. 3. Take the steak out and drain for an hour, throw away the marinade. The wine works as a solvent to suck out a good amount of the sat. fat in the steak, which will be replaced by the monounsaturated fat. Of course, this won't change the fat content of the steak, just the type. I don't konw if just using the wine would simply defat it.

/boggle Link to this?? One thing that strikes me is if you don't know the exact amount of fat in the steak to start with you might *add* fat with the olive oil
