Titanium Gear Industries (domestic source)

Generic copy/paste response

I'm a private source now. I went private late march/early april. I gave 1 week advanced notice and had a weekend signup for anyone that wanted to be a private client.

My list is full for private clients at this time. I will make exceptions for bulk orders (750+) or you can send a PM to be added to the wait list as occasionally i will have a slow day and add people who want to make an order right then.

If you ordered previously from me as a public source, i appreciate that. If you need to contact me PM on meso is better than this email since i rarely check it.

Oh, great. Make him angry so he can create a 3rd alt handle and attack @HIGHRISK again. Real nice, Titter. o_O:D
 
I'm to technologically illiterate to edit my identity out of these video's or I would post some dead lifts. Regardless, in a proper conventional DL legs don't do much work. Also, the picture of the posterior chain would be correct but it forgot quite a few muscles used during the DL exercise when performed correctly. It isn't a leg day movement, unless you are pre-fatiguing your lower back before squats, which some programs actually call for...tried that and fuck that. We are all on a different page as far as programming and style of lifting goes, some bb's, some pl's, some in between, so I can't say anyone is wrong, but I would advise training deads with upper back, instead of legs.

Absolutely great point. A bodybuilder isn’t going to pull the same way as a power lifter.

Bodybuilders would obviously want the back muscles and would use less weight but engage their muscles differently.

While a power lifter would tell you that there’s no way you’re going to pull 600 pounds if you’re not using the glutes and hamstrings as the dominant muscles.

As a bodybuilder I disagree. I am not using heavy squats and deadlifts to build a particular muscle. I am using them for the systemic growth and adaptation. It just so happens that I DL conventionally (harder on the back) and have a more upright back squat with a lot of ROM in my ankle allowing my knee over my foot (targets my quads heavier).

These aren’t done to isolate. Atleast not for me. And a deadlift is cheapened by the thought of isolation. It’s primal. Pick up something really fucking heavy until
You can’t.

Rows/pulldowns are much better for back isolation. Hacks and leg press are much better quad isolation.

I pick shit up and put it down... and I fucking love it!

But isnt it still a primarily leg excessive? I mean your lifting the initial weight with the legs correct?

To get the weight moving? Ideally, it’s split between knee extension from your quads and hamstrings and hip extension from your glutes, hamstrings, and erectors. The muscle handling the greatest load though is your erectors as they try to keep your core from flexing under the load (the moment is massive when you consider the distance from the weight applies (your shoulders) to their lower insertion deep in your pelvis) and contract to help pull your hips through the movement.

The main reason why the erectors should be taking most of the strain here is because the angles of your knee and hips in a conventional DL place your quads, hamstrings, and glutes in a favorable position. Meaning they aren’t being taxed 100%. Deadlift form for most people is probably pretty close to a half squat from the waist down.

I would argue you’d want to get the weight moving with hip drive though. If you start with knee extension it becomes even harder on your back.
 
It was actually your cum thread that pushed me to try it. I mean I’ve been considering it for at least the last 8 months but that thread convinced me to just do it lol. When I first got on trt a previous dr or nurse practitioner warned me of the fertility thing but I was like F it I want what the commercials claim you get from trt, which I found out were huge exaggerations.

There are some huge exaggerations around TRT effects for sure but for those that are needing it, the impacts are real and life saving. After more than 6 months of nightly brain fog, complete unexplained nightly exhaustion and zero sexual desire (which my partner had to point out) I realized something was wrong. Finally got tested and came in below 200. Went on TRT and almost overnight life became normal again. So for me the transformation was incredible but for those that started out symptom free I can see where it could be perceived as an exaggeration.

That mainly applies to conventional though doesn't it? As sumo requires much more quad/leg drive to break the floor?
