T...Yeah, that's the texas squat bar I believe. <br />They have one of those at the gym I go too as well. I don't like pressing with it either, especially thumbless. Just so you know, the bar is longer then a regular bar (which sucks for anything overhead) and weighs 55lbs not 45Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13467515502979346308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-38905079067293370192012-10-22T05:25:33.681-07:002012-10-22T05:25:33.681-07:00on my toes usually on my toes usually Paul Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352715396075897963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-37588401137364675852012-10-21T23:09:24.130-07:002012-10-21T23:09:24.130-07:00Just watching how you get tight on the bench press...Just watching how you get tight on the bench press (digging your upperback into the bench with your toes) this is something I've been messing around with.

I'm not sure if its because I'm not used to looking at false grip or what, but that bar looks bigVictorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13467515502979346308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-50372348515072332772012-10-21T16:06:27.331-07:002012-10-21T16:06:27.331-07:00I also recently ditched the belt for pulling.

I still like it for squats, but for pulls it just ends up putting me in a weird position. <br /><br />Also, I worked a 2-day meet this weekend loading weight. New found appreciation for loaders and spotters. It is shit work my friend.

Now after initially resetting my weights, I am pulling and squatting more without the straps and belt. My lower back actually feels better and stronger.<br /><br />Thanks and I hope you have a speedy recovery.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469979475852673981noreply@blogger.com
