so you're telling me to never push myself. got it.
>>
>>40845627
Beat me to it. OP can you please give us a reason you shouldn't kill yourself you idiot?
>>
>>40845541
Yes, you should. It puts your shoulders in a safer position and it's a longer range of motion which means its better for more strength and muscle. There's no difference in chest activation between a close and wide grip despite what people believe. It just hits the triceps alot better, but the stretch reflex is still there for the chest.

Since it's usually 15% less from your flat bench weight, if you get your close grip bench to match your weight on your wide grip, you will be stronger, period. Then if you ever wanna show off to your friends you can do the wide grip and blow them away with your pressing strength. I myself was platuead at 2pl8 for months, switched to close grip and destroyed my plateau.

Wider grip is really only meant for demonstration of strength such as at a powerlifting meet.

For longevity and overall strength, you should do CGBP.
>>
>>40845660
Can you give me a source or evidence to back up your claims?
>>
>>40845627
>>40845658

Yeah, try lifting above 2.5pl8 with slow reps. It doesn't happen. And it will fuck up your recovery. If you wanna grind, be my guest, but don't be doing it all the time it will just set you back.

Look at powerlifters in meets, the weight flies up fast. This is why speed work is so important.

If you know the next rep won't go up fairly easily, rack the weight and do another set. This is incredibly better for progression than "pushing yourself" and setting yourself back.
>>
>Grinding reps especially with heavy weights

This is something you gotta be careful about and not overdo, rather than "should never do"
>>
>>40845702
I would like a source on that aswell.

>>40845488
> Dumbell shoulder pressing in line with your head and ears

This just means I should push my arms back, like if a bar connected the dumbbells it would go behind my head?

> Dumbell shoulder pressing on a 90 degree angle
I don't understand this one. Should I stop before I get to 90 degrees? Is this referring to degrees of your upper arm to lower arm?
>>
>>40845660

I did exclusively close grip for almost 2 years, and while my close grip strength increased, my wide grip strength stayed the same. I now train both.
>>
>>40845774
> This just means I should push my arms back, like if a bar connected the dumbbells it would go behind my head?

No. That would be even worse. When you're pressing you always want to be pressing in the "frontal plane" of your body. If you go in your gym you will usually see people pressing in the "middle plane" - when they bring the dumbells down into the bottom position, the dumbells will be in direct allignment with the person's head and ears and their arms are flared out. This is super unnatural and will destroy your shoulder joints as the years go on. Tuck your elbows and consider even using a hammer grip.

Think about when you do a standing OHP, the barbell comes down in front of your body, to your upper chest. If you tried to emulate the bad dumbell press form with a barbell, it would hit you on the top of your head. I will post a link for you in a minute further explaining this.

> I don't understand this one. Should I stop before I get to 90 degrees? Is this referring to degrees of your upper arm to lower arm?

This is referring to the bench/seat angle. Don't use those 90 degree "chairs" that are in your gym. Grab an adjustable bench and set it to the highest angle available on it. Most adjustable benches don't go up to 90 degrees , but 70 or 80. This little difference makes a tremendous difference in the positioniong of your shoulder joint and puts it in a more stable position.
>>
>>40845945
>>40845774

Sorry lol. I overcomplicated that explanation of the first one. If a barbell connected the dumbells, it should be infront of your head.

I had been using these and stopped because they felt super awkward. Good to know the correct alternative.

>>
>>40846011
Some anon made a post on /fit/ a few months ago talking about someone someone at their gym who used suicide grip to bench press. The bench slipped out of his hands and broke his neck I think? The dude died.
>>
>>40846074
Holy fuck. That would've been insane to witness
>>
>>40845734

The only reason a majority of lifts fly up in powerlifting meets is because your first two attempts are lifts that you should be able to reasonably make with your third attempt being maximal effort/PR attempt. And 275lbs ain't shit in any lift.

>At the gym.
>one of these regulars is benching.
>Guy is kind of a faggot. TITLEMAX sleeveless hoodie. Beats headphones. You know the type.
>Asks me for a spot on 225 bench.
>Say sure.

This fucking faggot put his hands so widea he was milimeters from the rack hooks. Like even if he made the lift he''s gunna slice his hand open when he tries to rack it.

Low and behold this guy goes suicide grip. He gets it halfway up before it rolls off and lands in his gut. I kinda help roll it off but it was so far down his body it was impossible to lift.

Him, a personal trainer (LA fitness so Fuck off you dyel fuckface) and maybe his girlfriend?

>"dude if you can't hand let spotting the weight dont say you can man wtf"
>>
>>40846011
Rib cage would be lucky. Neck is much more likely because of the bar trajectory.
>>
>>40846190
The guy was probably standing dick in hand while watching the clock, unable to react fast enough when shit went down.

A proper squat down over-under hand grip spotter would have good chance at saving this sitaution.

it all translates to watch your form.
some people mostly go to snap city from DL and squats but it's mostly due to bad form.
you can stop them sure to avoid possible injury but really it's just about watching your form.
>>
The PTs at my gym advise people to "deload" the spine when deadlifting by hyperextending hard. The only thing that keeps people from snapping their shit up is that they all lift sub 3pl8.

This kind of response bewilders me. Like you simply can't comprehend that you don't have to point your thumbs down when doing it, and you need to get aggressive when someone points this out. All doing this does is basically forces impingement.

So that's why I don't have sets of 4pl8 deadlifts with controlled negatives in my weekly routine

Oh, wait, I do have fucking silent deadlifts with 4pl8 on every wendesday.
They're called silent, because the only sound the plates make is the clink of the bar hitting the plates, when I let go on the last rep.

You're a fucking weakling and a pussy that'll stay a weakling untill his 30s, and then stop lifting.

>>
>>40848348
I already saw it, but you clearly didn't see what you were replying to and you can still get a little impingement with neutral grip if your shoulders are shit like mine, so turning it out a little during the movement is better
>>
>>40848389
Then do cable lat raises. IMO it puts less stress on the shoulders because it's more controlled, and it seems to work them better
>>
>>40845488
1x biacromial width is far too close for benching, 1.5 is safe and effective
>>
>>40847811
That's my normal grip. Grip width is determined by your anthropomorphy.
>>
>>40847508
Bend at 45 degrees and raise your arms with your thumbs either neutral or your thumbs slightly up. I actually find I can feel my side delts better with this than that pouring the water shit.

>>40847886
Ok, where did I even say that negatives are bad? I'm saying that grinding weights to get them up all the time is bad and how important speed work is.

Negatives however are another whole topic we could get into. People still believe they build more muscle somehow which is laughable. Your muscles don't suddenly decide to grow bigger due to doing a slow negative rep. That feeling in your muscle when you do a negative isn't the muscle being broken down better. It's tissue inflammation.

We already know that the only thing that constitutes muscle growth is the amount of volume done over time. Rep range doesn't matter. You can do sets of normal reps or slow negatives, it literally makes no difference, as long as the volume requirement is met.

So these two Chinese national bros were using the squat rack to do their deadlifts yeah? (Reeeee)

Well, I had one more exercise, seated good mornings, and just wanted shit to be over with so I can eat.

Figure I'll just clean and press, then load onto my back, whatcouldgowrong?

Seriously don't ever do this, even with a low amount of weight, it's easily in the top 3 stupidest things I've ever done in a gym.

Never end up with a barbell on your back and nowhere to put it but over your neck or down your spine.

Luckily I was able to press it back and deload without too much problem, but holy shit, with more weight I could have been paralyzed with one mistake.

Know when to call it a day, stay safe bros, we're all gonna make it.

You probably pulled your muscles/tendons. If it is the tendons you are in for a looong recovery, think months. Ice, after the initial pain goes away hyperextensions with GOOD FORM and stretch with baby steps.

Okay, either you point your thumbs down without your shoulders rotating and you fuck your wrists/elbows, or you do rotate and fuck your shoulders. Either ways it's a dumb thing to do that doesn't even hit the muscle harder.

check athleanx video on the lateral raise. basically, keep the elbows down below the wrists, dont rotate the shoulder back, but neutral or a little forwards, and lean the torso forwards to achieve the same effect on the medial delt that pouring the jug does.

The moment arm created when doing low bar causes a larger torque on the lower back forcing you to fire them harder to prevent having to goodmorning the weight up.

Not in my personal experience but even if it does that's only one part of the posterior chain m8

You said nothing wrong, anyone who thinks you said did hasn't studied anything outside of /fit/ (i.e. other than some very basic principles they don't know fuck all).

It's ok tho they will never be truly strong or big until they actually go out and learn some shit.

It's explained above, to summarize

>"Pouring the water jug out" on lateral raises
Doing them with your thumbs pointing down will destroy your shoulders

> Dumbell shoulder pressing on a 90 degree angle
Don't use the 90 degree chairs. We an adjustable bench

> Dumbell shoulder pressing in line with your head and ears
Imagine the dumbells are connected with a barbell. If this imaginary barbell bumps the top of your head when you bring the dum bells down you are doing the movement wrong

I'm on week six of snap city.

I was just starting to get into lifting after a moderately sedentary lifestyle. I went from squatting the bar to 180lb. Nothing impressive I know but it was only a month or so in.

Then on a 150lb warmup... tightness in the back. Okay weird. I try to keep on but can't so stop for the day. I come back to it 5 days later after a work trip and things hurt a bit after I do my warmup so I abort. Somebody tells me I probably have too weak of a core making my back work too much so I should do crunches. I do 20 crunches. My back is now on fire. Sciatic pain like fuck

Doctor tells me don't worry about it. I'm now 6 weeks after the squat it happened and I haven't lifted since the crunches. My sciatic pain is now more or less gone but my left back muscle is MEGASPASM and my right hip muscle is tender as hell. I'm not really sure what to do honestly. Guess I'll go to a physical therapist and see what they think but snap city really is a terrible place.

Why is this bad? It's exactly what you'd do with a barbell if it were physically possible. It removes the moment arm.

What's pouring the jug on lateral raises?
>>
>>40845541
not close grip, but not so wide as many people does

Usain Bolt doesn't have great reactions for a sprinter. He tried working on it and ended up getting DQed in 2011 for a false start. Probably the best reaction time for a sprinter is Richard Kilty of UK.

Rotating your shoulders internally making your thumbs point down at the top of the raise. Don't do it.
>>
>>40847834
>more weight than he can handle at full ROM
>quarter repping with hand support
>locking out with feet placed at the very bottom of the pad, below the center of force

This isn't a leg press problem. It's a brain problem.
>>
>>40856363
Ah. I need did that. I was told to lean forward slight when doing lateral raises and keep my thumbs up
>>
>>40845660
Why would I listn to someone that plateaued on fucking 2 pl8 for MONTHS, never doing proper research on how to get past it?
>>
>>40856458
>locking out on the leg press
Why do so many people do this?
>>
>>40856458
how do I brain press then?

Are you retarded? The wider you hold the bar the less travel the bar has IE the easier it will be to progress when you get the movement down.

For plebs doing bench just train bench so that your forearms are vertical to the ground on the bottom of the movement. same with OHP. :)

>Pouring the water jug out on lateral raises
This is actually true, some people go way 2 heavy and this makes their shoulders hurt alot more = MUH GAINS

If you can keep the barbell in your hands with a suicide grip, you're holding the bar wrong. The bar should rest on your hands where the thumb meets the palm, and not on the palm itself. Otherwise write a dear John letter to your wrists
>>
>>40846618
How's your wrists doin

>>40847508
The inner ends of the dumbell should always be higher than the outer ends

>>40856853
Perfectly fine bitch

>>40850856
pull the slack out of the bar, engage your lats and brace your core or you're going to fuck up for lumbar spine for the rest of your life
>>
>>40857843
People still fuck their backs up, even after doing all of this.
>>
>>40858000
might as well commit suicide then, people die even though they take all the precautions we know about.
>>
>>40858000
why the fuck is everyone fixed on not doing deadlifts and squats
>>
>>40858366
I swapped out my deadlifts for rack pulls, still make back gains and just gotta be sure to hit legs extra hard

Best decision I've made, I fucking hate deadlifting
