^^^ thanks you guys

Napol3onator-

my current best on the deadlift is 455lb for 4 (i did that last monday)

and honestly for the size of my chest i'm a pretty average presser. my best on the incline is 275lb for 6-7 and only like 315lb on the flat for 5. flat pressing too much gives me tendonitis in my shoulder so pretty much for flat movements i'll just stick to the 130lb DB's for sets of 8-10. i might try the 140's in the near future but until now these are my personal bests.

Hmmm, your "balance is a bitch" because you are using a short ROM with too much weight. Don't know what these look like now, but you may want to look at getting the stride action smooth and knee to the ground in the same plane.

no, the balance is a bitch because this movement is very hard. my range and form on these are perfect. blake can attest as he's seen it in real life and i've been complimented many times on these from other bbers at golds. the stride action isn't smooth at the beginning because i have to get a rythym down. i cannot believe you don't think these are good form (the only reason i'm evening responding to your comment is because i know your an intelligent guy who knows a fair share about physiology, which is why i'm so taken aback) seriously you can't even see how close my knee is to the ground because of the angle, yet you know how close my knee is to the ground? i don't think so bro.


seriously i don't want to sound upset or indignant to what you said, but you're wrong. to prove it to yourself, pause it when i'm as low as i will go on a given lunge, you will see the leg that is doing the lunging is completely parallel to the ground.

Given this is his first attempt at this weight ever he had great form IMO. His first two on these reverse lunges where shaky because he had to get use to the weight. But I feel the last half was solid. His ROM from what I see every time he does this looks legit to me. Maybe it is just the video, but I will give the credit that his form and ROM are sound. :xyxthumbs:

i know what you mean bro i used to only do walking lunges, but as i got progressively heavier it started to irritate my hamstrings more and more to the point i was afraid a tear would happen. doing it this way feels much better on my knees and hamstrings but makes balancing more difficult. but i have to say from personal experience doing it both ways, this is just as hard as the walking variation.


personally i don't like db's with lunges man. they start to way my shoulder girdle down too much and afterwards my rear delts hurt more than my legs just from stabalizing the weight the whole time.

That was scary. I would decrease the weight a bit and use more strict and better form.

I have to agree with tim.

i'm just baffled at the 2 people who say my form isn't good. seriously i don't even know how to respond to it, watch the vid again, pause it when i'm at the lowest point of my lunge, my leg is parallel.
