You’ll get use to it. Don’t increase weight too rapidly cause you may hurt yourself.
the difference is romanian deadlifts are a different variation of a stiff leg deadlift which primarly works your lower back and hamstrings…the regular deadlift primarily works lower back and quads…

Anyone do front squats regularly? I been thinking about replacing my full squats (ATG) with those. I was wondering if the weight should be a bit less since I’d have to balance it more than usual.
ya i do front squats regularly, and ya the weight should be a LOT less imo…i do about 30-40% less weight on front squats than i do on normal squats…

doesn’t it make sense? gymnasts do bodyweight exercises all day, with strength AND endurance in mind. the difference is they just swing their bodies around rings or benches. i’m not surprised at all… workouts like that would give great density as well as size.
Guess I’m gonna have to experiment with the weight at first so I don’t hurt myself.
Ive never done front squats but what are the differences in terms of areas being worked out between front and back squats.
Solider Zero or Heat, when do you think its best for me to take my BCAA’s? during my lift or before I do my cardio, Im goin to be usin Xtend, to prevent from going catabolic/keepin my gains.
thanks
Eh, depends what you’re lifting program is like. If it’s a full body or split, I say during that since you would be using more muscle fibers.
I’m not sure about cardio, I haven’t really read anything to take before or after it. Magnus mentioned a protein shake afterwards wouldn’t hurt.
For cardio you most likely need some carbs… but you dont want to be full before you run…
oatmeal and a glass of OJ half an hour before running works for me…
front squats work the quads much more.
back squats (depending on how wide you do them) involve more of your hamstrings and glutes. plus you can use your lower back to cheat a little.
were i to start over, i’d probably learn front squats first since it teaches better form. if you try to cheat and bend at the lower back, the weight will fall so you can’t really do it. transition into back squats whenever you feel like it, they’re all good anyway.
Front squats as in sissy squats (thats what their reffered to)?
The ones where you hold the bar across your chest and cross your arms over one another just below your chin?
Ive never tried those, just stuck to the traditional squat.
^Basically, bar rests on the front of your shoulders.
Takes a lot more balance.
it’s about time!
You’re never in #srkgd anymoar:sad:
Also, may someone tell me the most effective exercises working the triceps using dumbells?
i find kick backs are the most intensive tricep exercise for me.
skull crushers work too
Was gonna post this website up (originally posted by Magnus), but it’s been hacked. :rolleyes:
here is what you can do with a dumbell(s)…
one arm overhead extensions
two armed overhead extensions
skull crushers (you can do a hammer curl grip or a normal skull crusher grip)
one arm tricept kickbacks
two armed tricept kickbacks
