I have discovered dumbell extensions on an incline bench can approximate though!steve-vhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03889100992443991077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29640480.post-83138878318264614092013-07-28T19:03:27.455-07:002013-07-28T19:03:27.455-07:00The more I go to the gym (5-6 times a week as of l...The more I go to the gym (5-6 times a week as of late), the more things I notice that really grind my gears. They range from stuff that bothers everyone like dropping weights, to individual inconveniences like not racking weights or not wiping off equipment, to just goofy things like really poor form. <br /><br />I find there are always bigger and smaller beasts whenever I go to work out. Hard to not compare yourself to the other cats in the cage. As long as there's at least one stronger and one weaker, I figure I'll be okay. <br /><br />Stopped doing dips lately, despite my love of them, as my pro-wrestler buddy's personal trainer says they're a really unnatural movement.

If it's too heavy, you should use less. There are classes going on underneath this room, and it bothers them when the ceiling goes thud! like that. And it's considered poor form unless you are moving really big weight, and trust me, you aren't. I'm three times your age and I use three times as much weight and I don't drop them ...<br /><br />Be a waste of time, I suspect.

Liked both vignettes, but especially the second one. <br /><br />Small quibble: I thought it was the other way around: <br />- pull ups = pronated grip = hands facing away; and, <br />- chin ups = supinated grip = hands facing you.<br />with the P in Pronated serving as the mnemonic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
