    Dip form for bench carryover

    I did them for very high reps so BW. Started doing them after seeing how Defranco often has his blokes do BW exercises to build endurance and strength after the max effort lift. Found they worked well.

    Dip form for bench carryover

    I always did them as a double set after bench. One set as many as you can. Rest 30 sec and aim to do half the amount. Fast. Worked a treat. I used the wider style. Always found some nice carry over to bench.

    Dan Green article

    Your carrying on like all he does is a few snatches. Usually when they do a Clean they then do front squats. And when they do some form of snatch they do olympic squats. When they do a clean and jerk they combine in presses. Sounds a hell of a lot like they are working in basic bodybuilding...

    Dan Green article

    Common sense. And the special I saw on Chinese lifters where it showed them training. Maybe he is a special case. Ffs one of the best built guys on my gridiron team, dude had quads, pecs and abs most body builders and 99% of this forum would die for, never even lifted weights at all - so...

    Dan Green article

    My guess is that might be the core of his training, but that is not ALL he has done. Other elements, gpp for example, have helped him get so ripped and shredded.

    Dan Green article

    Great article I have noticed a lot of those same things. Just a note. He wasn't bagging out Westside. Just a couple of elements that were flat out not optimal for Raw lifters.

    Need some opinions - Beginner/Intermediate lifting programs

    How about Westside for Skinny Bastards? Why not try the PTC beginners program in the Powerlifting thread? You could maybe do this for a month then 5x5 for month. Switch it up between low and high volume. Paul Carter's from Lift Run Bang also has some nice programs. I've had good luck using...

    Beginners program

    What would make sense is taking a couple weeks to adjust. Start with a really easy weight and gradually add weight each workout till it becomes hard. I have always had success doing a weight that was say 1-2 reps short of being a max effort on the first sets, something that you can feel is...

    Over under grip?

    I used to use straps. Found doing hook grip on my deads helped my grip heaps. Atm use hook grip on all but the last. Where I will switch to over under.

    Work out frequency - what dictates it?

    I was interested in how the body adapts during puberty or just after to the tasks that are thrown at it as a matter of survival, as it seems a time when the body is very adaptable to change. Not necessarily a bunch of roidraging bozos training at Westside or similar locality.
