jetsfan4life51 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 If you guys want to improve your deadlifts/get faster/improve athleticism do ****** Grip Deficit Deadlifts. I did those last week without a belt and no back pain. Squatted wide stance powerlifting style yesterday without a belt and no back pain. Squatted close stance knees over toes ATG last week without a belt and no back pain. HUGE for me, life is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 If anyone wants to improve their grip strength, start bouldering. Nothing will improve your grip, core strength and balance faster. Also, climbing chicks >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtait93 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) Anyone know why I seem to always have issues with my rear left deltoid whenever I'm doing chest/tris? Maybe the left side of my body is overcompensating because for example whenever I do any sort of bench press my left side is always the side that struggles while my right side never gives me any issues. I strained it or something really bad on the weekend and it's still giving me pain Edited March 20, 2018 by dtait93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strained it or something really bad on the weekend and it's still giving me pain Start at 3:00 for the stretch. I'd lay off the benching for the week, maybe two. Do facepulls and band work (like external rotations) for a while until it feels better. Seems like one of those things where if it hurts, don't do it. If it takes over 2 weeks to heal, see a Dr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strained it or something really bad on the weekend and it's still giving me pain I use a collagen protein supplement daily. It's cheap and I found it useful. I'd lay off the chest & front delt work for a little while. When you return to benching, make sure your elbows are tucked in when you bench and not flared.

Tetsujin Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I just finished my 14-day water + dry fast this morning. I lost 30 lb exactly. If you're overweight, do NOT be afraid to do this. Start with a 3-day fast first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Energy levels? I’m curious and amazed that anyone could do this tbh. I’d be ready to kill someone by 2pm day 1. Just curious as to the details and process.

Just curious as to the details and process. 11 days, just water mixed with some salt and potassium salt, THEN 3 days, no food and no water at all. I barely had any water contact at all, outside of washing my hands a few times. Very little discomfort. Energy levels OK. You just can't exercise. I wasn't even hungry 90% of the time. After Day 3, it gets much easier. It's all psychological. I'm taking the day off from work now. Just kefir, broth, pickles, and some natural juices for the next 3 days. Wednesday night will be my first "meal": Soup, salad, and a nice strip steak. I plan to do this again, maybe for 7-10 days in early May. I've already laid out my eating program which involves fasting M,T, and F. I'm convinced, through research and experience, fasting is the key to life and long-term leanness and health.

Cheesehawk Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I'll take my beer belly and enjoy my chipotle chicken grinder for lunch. No way in hell im not eating for 14 days... thats insanity. Props to you though dude. 30 pounds.. you can't deny the results. What was your starting and current weight doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I did 315 lb x 10 on the bench recently (425 lb max a couple years ago, I've been on and off lifting the past few years) but was such an out of shape slob for the past 8 years. In my 20's, I thought it was all about "gettin YUGE", but I've wised up in my 30's. I'd like to do 400+ while weighing 220 lb. I'm 260 lb now.

If you're overweight, do NOT be afraid to do this. Start with a 3-day fast first. How much of that is pure water weight, though? I've put on about 30 pounds since we had our baby, and I'm trying to get back into the swing of it (very prolonged break from any sort of workouts before last week, and then when I did get back into some cardio and weightlifting last week, the DOMS were severe, requiring multiple days to recover....I hate being 36 years old), and while I like this from maybe a jump start perspective, it just doesn't seem like something that would be the greatest idea ever. I don't know. Things like this worry me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 So I watched a few of that maniacs videos and I’m not going to lie, between the excessive f bombs the dude had some interesting points. His blood work and scans were impressive too, after a month of McDonald’s nonetheless. I’d like to give it a whirl, but I feel like I’d prolly crack by noon day 1.
