Default Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3

Deadlifted bout an hour ago.
Pulled 545x5. As usual my lack of attention and conditioning has made me get super lazy at high reps. I think honestly I could have pulled that weight at least 8 to 9 times. But the 5th went up, I held it for a second, dropped it, then sat down.

Funny really, I've gotten stronger and lazier at the same time. Almost ironic. My hands also are sore.

Isn't the deadlift just a power clean without pulling up onto your chest? that's A LOT of weight man!

The bottom half of the power clean is similar to the motion of a deadlift, but they are very different exercises. The speed and explosive nature of the power clean train for power, rather than pure strength, like the dead.

I use a hook grip until about 4 plates ~ 400 lbs. After that I start using over-under grip. Chalk, never straps for deadlifts. The only time I use straps is for certain back exercises, mainly pull ups and rows. I want to focus more on using my back more, and they help with that.
Depends on each person I guess. I have never had any issues with hand strength. Granted my hands aren't as strong as some others, I figure as long as I can hold the weight I am deadlifting that's enough for me. If it becomes an issue were my hands are failing before everything else, then I would address my grip strength. Until then its things as normal.

I think I will have to try some chalk. Running into some issues as I increase the weight, but my grip strength does seem to be improving along with my dead, though not quite keeping pace. I'm good at 225 or so, but have a tough time over 250. I started going to over/under at that point, but I really don't like it. My right grip is stronger than my left and combined with the over/under, it seems to throw me off a little.

I want to just forget about today -- probably the worst leg day I've had in a year. Here's my tip: don't slip on dog drool before you go to the gym for leg work. It helps to not have a lot on your mind, too.

Oy.

Chances are, your gym prohibits chalk because it makes a mess. If that's the case, you can buy "liquid chalk." It's not nearly as good; but it's better than nothing for adding a little stick to your grip.

I've seen guys using chalk there in the past. In any case, I never see more than 1 or 2 employees there when I am in at 5, so I'm fine.

Post workout protein shake - Body Fortress Whey Protein.
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ct_id=10322405
Is this product sufficient?

I *think* that's made by Met-Rx. Honestly, though, I'd go for Optimum Nutrition's 100% Whey.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html

ADB is going to tell you the same thing. I recommend the Rocky Road flavor (ADB's favorite, too) because it tastes awesome. That and a good multi (I use OptiMen, by Optimum Nutrition too) should help.

And drink LOTS of water.

I use this. Chocolate is the best flavor. Cookies and Cream is TERRIBLE. Haven't had the strawberry. It really depends on your goals. Some people use muscle milk because it helps you gain weight more. It has more sugar than body fortress does. It has a lot of protein in it and it's cheap. Big selling point to me.

Looking to lose fat, not gain weight. One scoop of Body Fortress stuff is light in calories but has 23g protein. Muscle Milk is has more sugar than I need.


Thanks for the info, Chris and Dokk.

In my last sentence I was talking about Fortress. I see now that it looks like I'm talking about MM. I'm pretty sure MM isn't cheap. lol

My gym actually prohibits chalk also. But I use it in front of the owner and she doesnt care. Trick is to not make a ****ing mess honestly.
Pm me your address I'll send ya a block or two. Its 10 bucks for a box of 12 so, I got some extras.

bump dokks ON push. I like it also, rocky road is good. Right now I use a different brand, but very similar to ON's profile. If ya plan on using a lot, order online and get 5lbs or 10lbs.
