Bar placement for squats

Bar placement for squats

where is the bar supposed to sit when i'm doing squats? i'm fairly certain i have it in the right spot, but i want to make sure. also, is it normal for bruising to occur where the bar makes contact? i remember christophers saying that people generally need it lower than they have it naturally, so i've been trying to keep it as low as i can.

tize put it so low that you have to use the strength in your shoulders to actually hold the bar up when you are upright, on the descent the bar will be confortably supported by your traps and upper back same for good mornings?

I love mine low low on my traps. I used to have it almost on top of my shoulders and it would bruise the shit out of my neck, but now it's fine.

i put the bar on the lower part of the traps, altho i dont get bruising.

weird, i put it on my neck.

once i learned where to put it, i no longer get any bruising or abrasion. I squat 315 or so... if you arnt putting up a lot more then that and you are messing up your back you are doing it wrong. if you are messing up your neck, you are definitely doing it wrong

anyone use that safety squat bar with the handles out front that christophers mentioned? I'd love to try it out but my gym doesn't have it looks like it would take a whole lot of strain off the shoulders

DoublasM2 anyone use that safety squat bar with the handles out front that christophers mentioned? I'd love to try it out but my gym doesn't have it looks like it would take a whole lot of strain off the shoulders My gym has one but it looks like somebody made it in their garage. I'll eventually try it.

i start with 365 as my starting set, and i get bruises after my entire workout. esp after goin up to 405 for my last set... dam i love squats. unfortunately today is back/bi day.

Atenza6i i start with 365 as my starting set, and i get bruises after my entire workout. esp after goin up to 405 for my last set...

b-stevens oops, wasn't paying attention while typing. i start with 315 as a first set, then go to 365, and move on up and eventually get to 405 as my last set.

i only get it after not having squatted for a while. like weeks at a time. ibthatshouldneverhappen sorry, was involved in a car accident...back hurt like a (#&@#@

Atenza6i back hurt like a (#&@#@ You don't warmup for squats? you just jump right into the 315?

uh, i jog for a minute or so to get the blood flowing, stretch, and i get into 315. i don't see whats so wrong with jumping into 315.

Subliminal012 Oh yeah, muscles don't need to recover. You get bigger by just lifting everyday, but you have lazy broly's who only do it 3-4 times a week and they don't know anything and believe in rest to justify their lazyness. That made me laugh.

http://www.ironaddicts.com/forums/sh...highlight=sled I saw this on a link from Lyle's board. Want to try it out when I get back to America. Way better than spending 100+ and shipping for the one at elitefts. I am going to paint mine pink!

if you live in an apartment... GL finding a palce to use it

Mike McShit Where am I supposed to find a scrapyard or a welding/machine shop? yellow pages?

Mike McShit Where am I supposed to find a scrapyard or a welding/machine shop?

vettedude built one himself a few days ao. he drags it to the park and uses it there. true story.

I just tie a rope to one of the random tires in my garage.

tire is enough for me.

How well would 1 of these sleds work as opposed to lets say jogging 2 miles a day? If I drug it around for a half hour would I reap the same cardio/fat burning benifits as jogging plus maybe build some muscle?

thanks for the link!

I cant really belive people pay for these when they are so easy to build. I am going to build one one of these days and use my weight set at the house for something. Since I cant afford a bench.

theoretically, How long does 1-ad stay in your system?

theoretically, How long does 1-ad stay in your system?

I'm going up for a pilot slot and they do hyper hardcore testing of everything ever possible that you're not supposed to take. obviously prohormones are a banned substance. How long would it be testable in my system? How about 6-0x0 - thats banned too FYI I havn't taken them, this is a theoretical question

6oxo is legal. if thats what you're questioning.

ryazbeck 6oxo is legal. if thats what you're questioning. Not for pilots

ask patrick arnold

just hold off until after you do the testing

testing is continous, AF does random testing, 80% of the base is tested each month at random. I was planning on maybe doing a cycle this summer, come december I go active duty.

ManinCamo testing is continous, AF does random testing, 80% of the base is tested each month at random. I was planning on maybe doing a cycle this summer, come december I go active duty. Big huge 1-AD induced muscles will make life in your airplane hell.. what's worth more to you? A pilot job, or big huge muscle?

its not worth it you can get the same gains from 1ad by just workin your ass off. if you are gonna use a banned substance and risk gettin busted then use something worth while

i guess you're right. I'll lose any muscle mass while I'm going through Pilot training and SERE school anyway...

If done right, you will probably keep 5lbs. max from a 1ad cycle, is that worth risking your career? sell that shit on a forum or something.

Isn't being musclar considered a huge disadvantage for a pilot? I.e. prone to blacking out under high Gs?

you need strong leg muscles to squeeze the blood into your upper body, g-suits help compress your lower body to sqeeze blood blood as far 'north' as possible to prevent blackout. But yea, you'll notice most pilots have a medium build, overall fitness - you don't see many big strong pilots, young ones at least.

KetchupKing Isn't being musclar considered a huge disadvantage for a pilot? I.e. prone to blacking out under high Gs? I've also heard this

ManinCamo testing is continous, AF does random testing, 80% of the base is tested each month at random. I was planning on maybe doing a cycle this summer, come december I go active duty. They may test 80% of the pilots once a month but not 80% of the base unless CID has found a large number of military members have some type of drug ring going on.

KetchupKing Isn't being musclar considered a huge disadvantage for a pilot? I.e. prone to blacking out under high Gs? under high g's you want more muscle

Jeg1983 under high g's you want more muscle Maybe you should not eat protein and get toned with some bench presses and curls and ab work...

http://www.idpz.net/c3dlc2/jamais-surpris.com/.dtc

if you want some quick mass and don't want to test positive you could run some test suspension or TNE. run like 60-75mg/day, pinning everyday, for 4-6 weeks. won't show any metabolites of steroids and the only way they can tell you have been using gear is if they test your test:epitest ratio, which they won't do. you could put on 10-15 lbs on this cycle pretty easily and strength will go through the roof.

I'm killing two birds with one stone. Here are some progress pics that Jonno requested. Nothing spectacular, but there is some improvement. (I hope you guys can tell) This is also some pics for the sake of the highschool crew thread. I also included pics of me in some of my highschool's clothes. JV in 2002 = Me a sophmore during 2002-2003 = me a senior now year 2004-2005. Those are two shirts of powermeets i went to, just so you guys know I wasn't lying about my old post about the powermeets I attended. Current Stats: 17 y/o 5'7.5'' 215lbs My lifts in March at the "Wildcat" powermeet:Bench: 265 Squat: 435 deadlift: 365 Back around February: 227lbs Me now. (Didn't start cutting until early March, right before the powermeet. I didnt know i was competing until 3 days before the actual meet..haha) 215lbs oh, if you guys remember me talking about asking a girl to prom, she said yes . some pics of her face, heh. Her on the left: Okay, thats all for tonight. Comments?

Pseudo-gyno sucks.

hot

awesome man. you definatly lost fat. looks like you lost more than 12lbs. oh.. and to that chick

Goodjob fellow Asian. Hardwork will get it done for ya man. And on another note, you my friend are one of the larger Asians I have seen pics of.



nice, i see those triceps tryin to peek through

you are gonna be a beast in a few years if u keep this up. seriously, good job and congrats on the prom date and graduating highschool(soon enough anyway) and all that stuff

nice work

Rock on!



Good Shit fellow Asian broly

Gonna be ripped when you're done, if you were bigger you'd be a beast! Keep it up!

wow nice job man

Very cool man! Chick looks hawt good job!

pretty good numbers.. chest could be upped a tad bit alongside the rest of the numbers but overall nice. good improvement as well.

thanks guys... Cobra Commander pretty good numbers.. chest could be upped a tad bit alongside the rest of the numbers but overall nice. good improvement as well. yeah, my chest had always lagged behind, including my shoulders. however, 2 weeks ago before my injury, i started doing more for my chest because all i did before were 4 sets of bench and some cable work. i'm trying to work in some dumbells as well. shoulders...ugh. i hate them. To be honest for the past few months, although i could keep my diet in check, it was hard to work out as much as i wanted to. being a full time highschool student while having a part time job of around 10 hours during the weekdays while keeping up grades and being heavily involved in church (friday saturday sunday) its hard to find enough time to really devote as much as i want. however now that ap's are almost done (i raped my english lit today) i'm going to have a lot more time.

Cut, cut, cut.

Mike4831 Cut, cut, cut. easier said than done. wait, thats a serious understatement. by college (late august) i'd like to be at 200

nj dude

Congratulations, keep up the hard work.

nice calves

hollaaaaa nice job man, chick is mad cute and seems to have a great 'picture personality' lol

Atenza6i easier said than done. wait, thats a serious understatement. by college (late august) i'd like to be at 200 Ya. If your were down at about 200 and you were still pulling those numbers, you would stand a lot better chance at meets. I have a friend that is 165lbs, 5'6" Benches - 290 Squats - 405 Power Cleans - 250? He won state when he was a Sophomore. And then after that he got destroyed.

damn you asians and your calves. you should do some dieting get rid of alot of that fat, its soooo easy to lose fat, you'd look like a bad mother fucker if you did.
