    sapul ba? one thing i like with one arm rows e yung tama nya sa torso pag near failure ka na. It still hits your back but the slight twist pag kumukuha ka ng bwelo is an excellent combo for the obliques. yung form ko sa one arm rows iba e hindi ako lumuluhod sa bench. parang bent over one arm rows then yung elbow ko ang nakapatong.

    so nakatayo ka padin sir V? tapos nakatukod ka lang sa something torso level na bagay?

    pasingit boss @nrg500 :)

    oo nakatayo, pero elbows/forearms pangtukod ko kaya almost parallel yung katawan ko sa floor.

    Parang ganito pero yung elbow/forearm ko yung nakapatong sa DB rack

    http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/8-ways-to-make-your-rear-delts-roar.htmlpag elbow yung nakapatong mas parallel yung angle at mas strict. Yung hila papunta sa ribs/obliques area. minsa neutral minsan underhand yung hila ko.

    bro try mo sa pasig fitness may standard olybars and bumper plates na. may deadlift area na din pwede ibagsak (wag lang intentionally). may trapbar sila which i think is for taller guys since outside shoulder width yung handles at fat grip sya. sayang nga yung prowler/slep kasi ginawa nalang lalagyan ng plates. di naman siguro alam nung bantay kung ano yun at di din papayag na dalhin sa parking lot.
  • CoreCore Posts: 2,509
    GWO nalang! Nga pala sir vinch, how 'bout yung rates? Wala naman siguro silang balak magtaas? [size=x-small](Huwag naman sana...)[/size]

    Oo nga pala, add ko na rin. Beside doon sa standard 45lb OB, meron din ba dyan yung Olympic short bar at EZ bar for curling?
  • badass_vinchbadass_vinch Posts: 4,471
    hindi brand new yung mga bagong gamit. rusty na yung handle ng OB pero makintab yung bar. di na kelangan ng strap at chalk magaspang sya. di ko napansin kung may EZ bar e. feeling ko same pa din rates kasi nagdispose din sila ng ibang gamit. nagupgrade lang siguro bago magopen yung rainforest gym kasi sabi nila first class facility daw yun pag nagbukas. baka gusti nila humatak na ng tao while mahina pa mga kalabang gym.

    Sobrang layo sa akin ng Pasig Fitness Gym. Na-check ko sa Google Map

    Sa Pasig nga ako pero malapit ako sa Marikin, 5 minutes lang nasa SM Marikina na ako :)

    I wasn't expecting a great workout today. When the alarm clock sounded off this morning, I feel like sleeping more and just skip training. Perhaps it's true that you'll only know if you should skip training or not once you are in the gym.

    However, my grip is really weak. I was surprised that I can lift 90 lbs for 7 reps in one-arm dumbbell row. Without lifting straps, my grip would fail at the 2nd or 3rd reps if I remember correctly

    Tested my max reps on Pull Ups this morning in a fasted state.

    I am now able to do 8 reps of Pull Ups and I think I can do 1 or 2 more reps but I decided to stop coz I noticed a slight slow down in the 8th rep

    This is a big achievement for me since I was able to do this while carrying extra fat on my belly (I can't even see my upper abs)

    I did not use lifting straps for the dumbbell row. I really need to work on my grip strength. I'll strive for 3 sets of 20 reps with 60 lbs before moving up to 70 lbs. It really feels embarrassing when I see random people who doesn't lift but with forearms bigger than mine :(

    For the Leg Press, I increased the range of motion so I have to reduce weight
