Someone wasn't paying attention to my thread
I elevated my hands rather than feet so I could get low.
I started off by putting my hands on stationary steps and trying to hold it for 3 sets of 45 seconds (in a set with bent over pull downs).
Then, I moved onto putting my hands on medicine balls
Then, I started putting a plate on my back, I eventually got up to using a 20kg plate before the move was written out of my plan
Now, if I do them I put both hands on the one ball, it's really bloody hard and I can only do them for 30 seconds
Once I graduate from them I'm gonna do noe armed iso holds with medicine ball - that's gonna look so cool
Iso pushups, how do you mean exactly?
I am improving slightly yea, maybe its my shoulders which are lagging you know. I think that because last year, my shoulder day was on a weekend, and often id end up missing out my weekend session, therefore i would often miss my shoulder workout.
Maybe they neeed to catch up i dno. I work them without failure now tho.
Also my DB press is ok. My stability is perfect and form is no problem. Suppose i best just keep working at it.

Ah ok, i might give these a go.
How was I suppose to know that
Start with plates. Just place your hands on two plates and get down to 90 degrees. Hold that for 30-60 seconds. It sounds easy, but its not.
BigTom, you weight what 160 or something? CCR is up at 230. Stop saying you suck so much or you will continue to suck. (Im talking about benching, what you do otherwise is your choice)
You want to increase strength first and foremost, then lift for strength. Get out of the 12 rep sets and into the 3's.
The bad thing is tony, i weigh 219lbs!!! Yea i know what you mean, i really need to start lifting with the 3 reps.
but that's just because of your pen0r, right?
seriously though, don't keep saying you suck, you're not as weak as you think, there aren't a lot of people in the world who can bench what you can, you're WAY over average, yes, even for people who do work out.
Oh in that case disregard. J/k
