A lot of people do Tomo.......but i guarentee you like a guarentee Tuesday follows Monday that with 6 months grip training your basic pulling movement lifts will go up in weight 10 - 20%
-
They do yes......but theres far better exercises for forearms in my opinion........a good movement for combined forearm/grip is reverse curls with a thick bar.

I'm sorry but you're underestimating the effects of steroids big time, my cousin has no diet plan at all and doesn't train that intensely and his body has changed beyond belief, the reason.... Steroids. Whats his cycle......and why ?........Taking performance enhancing drugs without trying to enhance your performance will not build mass or muscle,but will still experience all the same side effects........if you take Viagra to improve your sex life but dont have sex you dont bypass the side effects Steroids are for serious lifters to supplement a well organized diet and training regime....taki

No need for compliments me ol son we,re just swapping thoughts on a common interest thats all My philosophy of strength/fitness has changed so much over the years i honestly believe that when you push your ego to the side and forget about numbers you really get a more true understanding of what strength is i see so many lads in the gym using straps for deadlifts,straps for shrugs ive even seen them used for barbell curls !!....Armwrestling changed my whole outlook on functional strength a chain is only as strong as its weakest link and all that....i always liken human performance to car p

Deadlift is more about technique than outright crazy strength you could be the strongest man alive but if you dont know how to position your body correctly and push your hips through etc you,ll never be a good deadlifter. A lot of it depends on the reason someone trains,very few people are strong in the whole body we all have strong/weak points a deadlifter might not be able to curl much weight but he doesnt need to.......the tricky part is when its simply down to genetics,without sounding big headed im genetically blessed in shoulders and arms but it becomes a problem when training should

Awesome pull though, mate. I could never close the 3 but I could rep with the two. I put that down to deadlifting with 3" barbells! This isn't my first set of vulcans. First set got stolen when I live in Manchester, and I paid a lot of money for them at the time. The reason I'm buying these is for longevity. They're cheaper and better than a lot of the commercial racks available, plus the space requirements for a commercial set isn't great for a home set up. Not to mention the gyms around here are set up for posers and playtime triathletes. I don't like the atmosphere where appearance is

Pull ups seem to be a weakness for a lot of people, then often neglected for that reason in favour of curls. Personally I think that makes the pull up family of exercises that much more impressive. 2 mins constant 1 handed? I assume thats a hang for grip training? On a similar note, I saw a gruelling challenge the other day. 1 pull up over the course of 2 minutes, 1 min up a 1 min down continuously. Not tried it but looked evil. The singe handed is for reps,gripping the wrist with the free hand of course so its not full bodyweight .......any slow pull like that is a tendon builder rat

I was waiting for someone to mention Ironmind products. They're seriously high quality. A lot of emphasis on the old school strongman exercises. I like their no nonsense philosophy. I'm a couple of quid away from the Vulcan squat racks for the garage! Nice to see you closed the number 3! Did you get certified on it, or was it just a personal best? No it wasnt under official conditions and at a time when they was modifying the rules regards start/finish positions......this was at the Zloty Tur arm wrestling tournament in 08 probably 15/20 men closed it a Russian puller Taras Ivakin

3 yards sideways 4 yards backwards from the most expensive player in the clubs history......he is not a well liked man around North London ! Different styles for different leagues......pace,power and aggression is needed in the premiership which is why the South American players have been some of the most succesful imports we,ve seen.........Ronaldo fits that bill.........personally id love to see Messi or Neymar in our league it would be fascinating to see how the theory plays out.

What you have to do is gently massage that teat until a drip comes out.......then put your mouth over it and suck until it runs through........trust me it works ........i also found that method stopped the aggression as well
-
Completely different types of player though mate Sanchez reminds me of Suarez he,s a grafter who will go looking and force situations.......Messi hasnt got that in his locker......Ozil is another one i thought he was a great player before he came to Arsenal but i just dont think the premiership agrees with him the way it does aggressive players like Sanchez/Suarez/Tevez.
-
I dont know about 10 years but i do think we should expect to pay for our mistakes somehow and financially makes sense...........i dont have a problem with forced repatriation but at least make them a sensible offer first
-
What a f****r that is......after all the work you put in as well..........hopefully you get a few back over the days but lesson learned the hard way i suppose.
-
With scenery like that i wouldnt give a shit what the weathers like !
-
Totally agree.......as Ronaldo proved,his pace and power was perfectly suited to our premier league whereas Messi ( brilliant as he is ) would struggle in our league in my opinion.....should the worlds best be the worlds best in any league and any team
-
Re the bollock ache...........take a paracetamol mate its just a tension headache......but not in the head.
-
Since when does being a moaning selfish c**t make you less of a footballer I always said Ronaldo is the greatest player ive ever watched live and i stick by that......i think he,s consistently at a higher level than Messi as well.
-
The negative side to any lift is equally if not more important Dave.......the downside to free weight exercises is poor form,people throw the weight around and often let ego dictate.....i truly believe that for people lifting naturally its physically impossible to train the body under maximum stress for any more than about 10 days.....many times people call it high intensity but they really dont attack the weight with full vigour while maintaining form simply because its a f****n horrible way to train ....Its often used by seasoned lifters to get you through plateaus but apart from that its n

There is a little voice in my head that is saying that, plus im 42 and got 2 young sons that I want to be climbing trees with, kicking a ball about, swimming etc etc they arent going to be adults for a long time, (youngest is 1!) so... got to get in shape & stay at it for them. There you go......you have 2 walking talking reasons to stay motivated
-
We would still be classed as a spit and sawdust gym by most people,plenty of free weights/bench spotters etc......but like many industries once health and safety get involved certain criteria have to be met or you get closed down plain and simple By the way theres actually a lot of benefits in training at home i wouldnt knock it. I don't mind training at home,Im not one of the "I need somebody to push me" brigade The only problem is you can only have so much equipment at home cash/space dictating this.Although I prefer free weights theres some things I don't have ie squat rack etc,I
-
It depends on the individual but personally i dont like to train alone im always more motivated training with others,as much as folk say theres not subconsciously theres always an element of competition going on.....plus you need each other for spotting/form/forced reps etc The benefits of training at home are that you dont have to wait for equipment and its comfortable surroundings but i dont like to be too comfortable in gyms i think you lose a bit of edge and its never a good idea to go full out training alone anyway.

Perhaps they are a pair of noofters !..............As Mule says put a nestpan in and let us know what occurs.

" Grow old gracefully "..................aint that what fat ugly women say about other women that still have a little bit about them While the body still allows me to test myself mate im not going to change the habit of a lifetime
