why was that childish? it was just meant to be a reminder that you can get rally strong without much barbell training.

Maybe the fault is on my side here. But I feel that you don't make an effort to be understood. You posting that video might implicate a variety of meanings. It can very well be interpreted as a criticism to me asking this question in the first place or making fun of the idea that barbells are a superior training tool for most purposes. Why not just make the point and say "you can get really strong without much barbell training" and then post the video?

even if that's the case, which it very obviously wasn't, why do care so much?

So, when I do conventional style dead lifts, I try hard to keep my back straight, use my lower body/hips, and keep my shoulders pulled back/chest out.  How come recently, when I dead lift, like the middle of my back, like where my spine is, in between my shoulder blades, it gets uncomfortable and kinda hurts.  The pain is not that much, it just feels weird.  This is weird, because before I used to never feel anything on my upper back, only my lower back when I would perform with improper technique.  Anyone else experience this?

because god hates you

Is posting stuff like that fun for you?

yes. is posting questions to which you have basically no chance of receiving a meaningful answer fun for you?

isn't part of the point of rest-pause that you only have to do one set? e.g. 10+3+3+3+2 done.

you know what, adarq? come to dc, wearing that disgusting shirt. in fact, wear both of them at once. might be just what i need to get my cns fired up enough to dunk.

don't get why you put that one here, raptor.

I'm chasing a 300 lb clean and strict press (I think I'm good for 255-260 now) and one of the better assistance lifts I've found are paused handstand pushups on parallettes. I'm still not great at them, but having said that, I do weigh 225 lbs. Thought I'd post up a video of today's top set.

For those of you who know me from the past, I'm not all legs anymore.

Why would you do them instead of a barbell movement?

Damien, you have a bad habit of answering with really childish responses to serious meant questions. I was not trolling RJ here, because I am not a troll. I recognized that he is very damn strong in the press and asked why he would do handstand push-ups as assistance instead of light, higher volume presses because of the reason I stated above (better control over resistance). I was not going to imply that you cannot get strong with bodyweight movements. I just think that less ability to control resistance is a disadvantage in many cases, but probably not in this one for the reasons RJ posted. It is also an assistance movement, realize that he does real presses as well.

aaaaand you take shit too seriously sometimes. funny video was funny.

from yesterday. slept like absolute shit last night and i don't know why.

BW = 166.0
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = spot of tightness in right quad during sprints but it went away; also hip flexors
FATIGUE = low

- warm up

- sprints
2 @ 60%
2 @ 95%

- DSVJ submax x 5-7

- DLRVJ x ~15
started off bad but got better, ended up jumping pretty well. didn't get that high, mostly 31 range, but felt smooth and reactive in a way i hadn't in a while. CNS was definitely higher than it'd been.

- squat 4 x 9 x 225
easy-peasy, 4-minute rests.

- SS1: chin up x 10,8,7
- SS1: dip x 10,8,7 + 23
- SS1 info: active shoulder but full extension, chest-to-bar on all chin up reps (as i always do them). not even close to 10,10,10. matched dip reps to chin up reps, even though i could have done more. would rather keep them in sync because i think that's nice. fuck you. better luck next time.
