its core development and bracing, they aren't independent of one another and they compliment eachother nicely. Proper bracing will build you a ironclad core and a strong core will improve your bracing. Doing it properly and lifting heavy without going above what you can brace for is the key. So say your form breaks down at 465 well then I'd say work in the 405-435 range building the core strength up. A proper lifting belt 10mm or 13mm 4" will help as well as it teaches you how to brace properly as you must do so to engage your body against the belt. Take a big breath in with your belly then brace as if your pushing out a 5lb log that's a stably fcking position right there I'll tell ya that for free. It's coming but I fear with how strong you are getting and how quick you are going to wind up with an injury if you don't follow the trusted system and build strength as opposed to testing your strength

Thanks for looking out brother. I believe it's in 10/20/life where Brian Carroll talks about core bracing exercises?? I'll have to revisit it and take a look at what he said. If I'm honest, I only browsed that part because it didn't spike my interest.

And yeah man, ik I gotta work lower... it's a discipline I really need. Thanks again

Couple things brothers... any critique on my DL form? I know my hips shot up a little prematurely. I engaged lats, leaned back, but not far enough, I don't think?

If you can, please try to get set in one perfect , static position before you commence the lift.
You're not advanced enough (no offence) to be successfully and risk-free rolling to towards yourself.
Legs position looks OK to me. Back wants to be straighter (neutral spine!) and held firmly in place. Assume the gorilla position, brace HARD, lean back just a tiny bit -to take the slack out of the bar- and then stand up. As soon as you feel the slack pulled out of the bar (bar gets heavy) push the floor away with your feet... As soon as the bar is moving, stand up. Practise it with low weights until it's fully natural. Don't let a heavy load put you off or pull you forward. . . . Even though it tries to do both!

I'd like to be there, too. Think I might manage it, but I've been nursing my very poorly wife this last fortnight, and I was ill myself before that... Almost 3 weeks out of the gym now, and I don't know when I can get back in there, either.

Worst of it is, I assumed my aches and pains and twinges would go away for a rest... They haven't at all.

Sorry to hear about your wife. I've been going through something kind of similar, but I only missed one gym day so far. Where were you on deadlift? Seems like you were a little over mid 500's pounds or 250kg or so.
 
Any of you guys ever get anything like this?20161020_233224.jpg
Knuckles are just raw and cracking like crazy, i assume from dry skin which i attribute to my liberal usage of chalk while lifting, but the weird thing is its only started happening in the last week or so. More of an annoyance than anything but just curious if anyone else has this problem and if you have found a good way of dealing with it through moisturizers or whatever.
 
Coconut oil, melt into some rubber gloves, insert hands to gloves, have someone tape gloves round your wrists, insert gloved hands into warm water for half an hour or more. Boom, sorted.

Mine start getting like that when the weather gets cooler. I usually just fill up some rubber gloves with lotion and triple antibiotic and sleep a night in them. Heals it quick.
 
Anyone ever heard of Dr. Stewart McGill? Brian Carroll swears by him (I mentioned him in an earlier post about core work). I found this video interesting. Max effort pull ups, and training your brain.



I started doing his "big 3" 2 days ago, and the stiffening effects were immediate, when it came to tightening my core for squats.

:rolleyes: Rofl hahahahhahahahahaha, Thankyou I needed that good chuckle today hombre. I can already tell you ain't gonna last long here by that one sentence with an attitude of superiority like that. Anyone that thinks their discipline is far harder or better then another's is intermediate level at very best and doesn't understand this lifestyle properly. Good day sir:cool:
