You've probably heard about this but I'll mention it anyways: putting plates under your heels. It might look somewhat goofy but I've really found that it helps force you to use your heels. Same with squats.

It might be something to consider with those heavier lifts anyway.

its best to lift on a complete flat surface

Captain Cannabis · 02-05-2011, 01:44 PM

so i have been going to the rock climbing gym a lot lately. since october probably 3 times a week ish. right now my goal is to climb 4 days with only 1 day of rest in between. the 4th day is today and i think i will be marginally recovered enough to go again.

i haven't added much mass, since my training is mostly focused on toning, strengthening my ligaments and endurance. also i think i lost some fatness. in any case i am slowly becoming the monster rock climber i was in 2009. i think i am probably near to my highest level of fitness, which is awesome.

first link is directed towards squats

second link is directed towards straight legged deadlifts, which I really have no clue if that should be recommended, 1 person commenting on it doesn't make it right

I've seen it loosely recommended to place plates under your toes, but I wouldn't suggest it as I believe the few times I've seen it questioned, I've seen more negative said for it, than positive.

Plates under your heels for squatting can be recommended quite a bit but it is more of a beginner routine to help one be able to go deeper in their squat, and really learn to push from their heels.

my comment may have been worded rather loosely, but while doing conventional deadlifts, a flat surface is the only way you should be attempting the lift.

BigSpliffSmoka · 02-05-2011, 09:27 PM

Straight legged deadlifts sounds like a bad idea... especially for someone just beginning. I'd build up your lower back first doing back extensions w/ weights.
I've always done deads with no belt. It seems to me if I can't keep my back straight while doing them then it's not worth doing..

Snowmayne · 02-06-2011, 12:17 AM

eh, they are a pretty solid lower back/hamstring exercise imo, you just perform them at a much lighter weight.

Snowmayne · 02-08-2011, 11:00 AM

holy fuuuucck my arms are noodles.

just home from the gym, inspired to share some info on the routine I use incase anyones not sure on what they want to do in the gym.

This is the power/hypertrophy split, designed by Layne Norton, and it goes a little something like this.

oh and this is the guy

Sunday: Upper body power 3-5 sets, 5 reps

Monday: Lower body power 3-5 sets, 5 reps

Tuesday: Chest/bis/tris; 3 chest exercises, then superset your sets of Bis/Tris 3-5 sets 8-12 reps. This would look like preacher curls superset with tri extensions 3-5 sets, tri push downs with db curls and so on.

Wed: Off

Thursday: Back/Shoulders: Superset shoulders and back sets, I usually do DB or BB Overhead press with some type of pullup/chinup (grips varie), BB Rows superset with DB front shoulder raises, lat pulldowns superset with db lateral raises and so on

Friday: a whole lot of supersetting legs, the day most likely to make you puke

been running this routine for a quite a few months, I consider this a staple routine for me, I see no reason to switch as if I ever feel like im ever going to plateau on something, I can switch things up within the routine to keep making gains.

#2..... what the heck are those antlers doing besides just being horny?

Snowmayne · 02-09-2011, 11:56 AM

lolol ive seen that pic numerous times, never noticed the antlers... good catch

**SageTree** · 02-10-2011, 04:36 AM

I used to deer hunt... what can I say !

I still think the #1 way the States could have bagged Terrorists without using the military was put up wanted posters of 'Terrorists' w/ antlers. Like give Osama 14 points and a nice spread... I GAR UN TEE Jimmy John would bag and tag that shit.

Not adding my personal comms. to the 'war'.... but I always thought that would be a good way to get a deer hunters attention... and lots of dudes I know are FAN-ATTICAL about it.... down with a case of the buck fever.

Guess I still had a few 'remeberances left in me

awesome updated article on the routine and awesome site as well

Snowmayne · 02-21-2011, 06:16 AM

Snowmayne · 02-21-2011, 07:44 AM

probably could have got 2-3 reps if I hadn't done 275x5, 295x5 before I went for 315. Knew I was gonna go for 315, should have kept those sets at 2-3 reps to warm up...

Still satisfied getting it on my first attempt. Some huge black dude was bert staring me the whole time as I put 3 plates on there, like da fuckk... this small ass dude about to squat all that. i lold inside.

BigSpliffSmoka · 02-21-2011, 10:40 AM

How are those Nikes for lifting?

Snowmayne · 02-21-2011, 11:32 AM

probably not very good

Captain Cannabis · 02-21-2011, 12:45 PM
