GREAT work man!!

One thing I'm seeing, I'd like to offer some guidance on - Your SCT hold times..

Many a log is citing upwards of 20 or more seconds. Consider bringing that down, to about 5 seconds with a corresponding increase in the weight utilized.

REASON: Of all the workout fundamentals, (Intensity, Volume and Frequency), INTENSITY is by FAR, the most important!!

Hope that helps...

Ok Rob I will try it. I have no spotter but I will give it a shot on the racks. Thanks again.

Smith press is a great alternative and no spotter needed....

Yes indeed, I do my decline static holds in the Smith.

ONE CAVEAT: Given the amount of weight you're using, "rotating" the weight can be dangerous...

The solution...?

It's as close as your local hardware store; heavy chains.

You're looking for about 1.5ft chains, and when I say heavy, I mean HEAVY!

Get the thick ones, none of this swingset, fisher price nonsense...

Buy some BIG claps (I'm no handyman, so dunno what you call them), I use carbiners from ironmind that came with my hip belt.

Suspend the bar from the pegs in the Smith machine. It takes some rigging up and people will give you strange looks (fun stuff, make sure you're wearing a 5Faces of Fear(tm), Tshirt) but well worth the exercise.

Once it's done, presto...

You now have a 3 dimensional (bar sways fore/aft etc.) plane to work within, allowing you to find the perfect "groove" for the barbell!

That's what 1 of us does, anyway...

Damn!

Raining PR's, in you log. I swear, there are more PR's here per log than ANYWHERE, else!!...

BP doesn't work though, according to the body building dot com pirate/troll/assclown crew...

That's OK folks, some day they'll tally up the tens of thousands of dollars flushed down the crapper and... be left weaker, smaller and poorer for it.

Sad day. You can lead a horse to water and all that...

You?

You've found your way to Gainsville, and I couldn't be happier. It's why I wrote the damned book!!!

5Faces of Fear(tm), are happy men this morning.....

WOW!!

Terrific work man!! I'm just happy, you're happy...

I can't sell 3.0 worth a damn, despite this kind of feedback!!

FAVOR: In lieu of paying for a new Blueprint (3.0 was FREE!, for most here...), can you show the 5Faces of Fear(tm)* some love by INVESTING in one of these??

* And YES, I/we trademarked it!!!

https://askmass.securesites.net/credit.html

BLUEPRINT T-SHIRT *Note "Keys Blue*" or "5 Faces Black*" and size S, M, L, XL or XXL - Just $14.95!!

* Each shirt, adds 10% to all lifts. If my/our calculations are correct, that means if you "stack" the two.... ,

Yep, +20% to all major barbell lifts!!!!!... :):):):)
