  10. Bench arch technique

    Hey, thought I'd make a thread about bench press technique, specifically the arch itself. This is not the thread to bitch and moan about safety and "health" Anyway, since the sessions at PTC Brisbane and following Scott's advice, my bench technique has much improved. My grip is now right out...

  13. Pulldowns vs Pullups

    I do both of these. I do shoulder width parallel grip pullups...I've tried wider grip palms away grip but basically I'm too weak/shit at it, so I stick with what I can do.
