Sumo would be way more hip drive and knee extension yes. Far less back involvement since your erectors are under less of a stretch with a minimal moment arm.

I can't believe it doesn't highlight the traps. I definitely get a nice burn in the traps, especially with a pause at the top
Low testosterone is far more detrimental to your health than optimal levels of testosterone that TRT can achieve as well. So tired of these idiot doctors pushing their fear-mongering ignorance on TRT and testosterone in general.

I can’t believe it also doesn’t highlight the lats, even as a secondary muscle.
They missed the lats and traps for sure.

I guess at the end of the day, it was a covert way for @BigBaldBeardGuy to slip in a nude male and allude to his rectum but not come off as completely gay.
Ye I mean technically the picture is not "Muscles used while deadlifting".
It is just a pic of the posterior chain. But also a bunch of other shit.
Agreed - I'm in my 30's & done with kids. I plan on cycling at least once before B&C'ing (enough AI/PCT for three legit cycles), but cycling a couple times with proper bloods throughout will give me an idea of my normal T and whether or not I should go script hunting at some point.
I read about guys that time their bloods after cycle so that everything is crashed making TRT obvious for the doc, but I'm not well versed enough in that yet to know if it's fact/bullshit.
If you go into a TRT appointment at a lean 220 and ask for Test because it’s low, your doctor is going to know what’s up. Whether or not they support this behavior/method is another question.
That’s why i preach the things I do. I WILL be in charge of my OWN health. If TRT shortens my life by a few years so fucking what ? If the years I’m living are quality that’s all that matters to me. Who wants to be 100 when 20 of those years are misery ?
I should have died long ago so everything is gravy for me now.
Thanks for this. Haven't yet pinned quads but want to. Noticed you have the same hand as your leg in the second pic. Do you mean to point out you can pin the inside of the quad as well as outside?
Good advice man. I've been pinning sites I don't train that day. Why do you pin sites you do train?
Never done rack pulls and sounds like i should add them into my program. Working on lat width/activation at the moment as they are not as developed as I would like.
For lagging muscles it’s a great way to establish mind to muscle connection. It helps get blood in there and start settling the oil between the fibers vs sitting there lumped up. And I find, especially with legs, PIP is reduced.
Hips are good to go whenever. I do usually try to avoid pinning delts with anything more than a CC on Shoulder day because the pump creates pain so bad it inhibits me. But my delts are bitches.
Rack pulls and DLs will def help. Great way to end a back day and tie your back together.
But don’t consider it a lat growth key.
Try doing pulldowns with your scapulas locked down so that only your lats are performing the motion. Get your rows pulled back to your hips not your belly. Get some Pullovers in there too.
I used to get their publications in my 20's and loved it. Even ran some of their MAG10 back in the day. They have some very well educated coaches/trainers and I follow alot of their training tips.
No sir. Only outside for me. Opposite hand on opposite leg. Was just time to pin the other leg that day.
Pullovers are one of the single greatest exercises that no one seems to do. It hits most everything on your upper body, and there’s nothing better to do for your serratus anterior.
Thanks Mac. My trainer has me working on exactly that. Keeping my T-spine locked down and activating my lats on pulldowns as well as narrow grip T-Bar rows (I'll try pulling more into my hips on back day tomorrow), reverse grip single arm pulldowns on Hammer Strength machine, plus a host of other exercises to bring up my lats.
