What beer are you drinking now? #1358

On the bottom 1/3 of this one now..

 

Not much I can add only to speak from personal experience. My strength was pulling from the floor to about halfway. So, to compensate, I would add rack deadlifts set halfway to strengthen the end of the deadlift. Got to 650 on halfways even though my full deadlift was only 480. My training buddy was just the opposite. Once he got halfway, he could pull a zillion pounds. So he focused on overloading on pulling from the bottom to halfway. BTW, he is a practicing MD whereas yours truly is just a retired number cruncher. But we both configured the routines.

All of that said, unless you want to be a competitive power lifter, I recommend you focus on lighter pounds and more reps. Your back will thank you when you get my age.

I do, however, recommend you drink good craft beer.

I might as well drink this monster since it's Saturday night.

 

Agreed on both points!!! A lot of bodybuilders down the road switch to higher volume training with lower weight and some wish they had done hypertrophy sets between 10-15 when they were younger instead of the strength based high weight/low reps all the time. I generally like to go for sets of 10 with my exercises and this current program is to change things up and increase strength before I go back to see what it will do for me.

Good quality craft beer is an important part and good food!

 

Do tell, how is the Mocha IPA?

 

Been doing deadlifts before you were born. Never heard about a pop on the side so it cannot be serious. Pops on the spine are a whole different matter. Make sure each lift is under control. No fast starts. No fast finishes. And make sure you rest between deadlift sessions! From the dad and coach you will not listen to.

 

SN Hoptimum but Alpine beer cap?

 

Good eye, I just grabbed the wrong one since the cap from the previous beer was there. Must be getting buzzed!

 

Any BA watching my low down Twins deserves a break

 

Next up yet another beer from Magnify, this one is Contractual Obligation a double IPA brewed with Citra and Moasic hops also canned on 7/8/16. Fresh local beer, cant get much better than that.
Cheers BAs!

Gonna gross you out but what you described was the basic powerlifting and bodybuilding philosophy of the 1970's and 1980's. Some basics never change.

 

Indeed!

 

weekend begins




Cheers!

 

Monday Night Brewing Blind Pirate. It's pretty decent, I guess, but I'm not entirely convinced that it is a double
