No Rest for the Weary

[Gierrod]

When I did the kroc rows I had the knee on the bench.
Yeah, 5x5 fucks you up pretty badly. Noticing some pretty bad DOMS right now. The barbell is a piece of shit, so slippery and its not rugged at all.

Yeah try them how kroc does them standing and holding onto a rack or some sort of stand your be able to shift alot more weight! also that sucks man i guess just chalk the shit out of your hands and back.

 

[CRZA]

Nice work!

I don't understand having to set the pins higher. If you fail the heavy squat, can't you just bow down (don't know how else to describe it) in order to dump the weight? i.e stuck coming out of the hole, just transfer your weight from your heels to toes and this should cause you to pretty much look at the ground and allow you to drop the bar onto the pins.

You pull hook too, that's fucking awesome. However, I think you should try to use DOH as much as possible and only switch to hook when you really need it. Gives you the opportunity to improve your grip. And what's up with the mixed for the 190?? haha

And lol at the warm up stealing. Royalties please.

 

[CRZA]

I might set the pins higher, because hitting them really put me out of focus. The problem is I train at home and the pins are homamade (by my dad), he has squatted there before, but he said that he never used the pins, so he never trained to failure. If I set it lower, I want to set the bar on the pins and not drop the bar on them, because I am not sure if they'll take it.

I try to get used to the hook grip and use it for warmup. Mixed grip feels better and more natural for me atm.

haha, royalties =X
