Grub's Training Log

Big time pull down numbers, but what's with the random weight numbers?

 

[Morris 14]

I wonder if he is even being honest

 

[grubd]

When you use a machine they have preset weights to place the pin. It is an aux. lift and the weights don't matter.

 

[cpmiller]

Wasn't questioning the numbers, like I said they are impressive. Was just curious bc all the machine equipment at my gym is in 5 or 10 lb increments.

 

[Morris 14]

Any vids of ya close grip benching 365?

Oh I get that, this is pretty new equipment and for some reason they chose multiples of 12s.

 

[grubd]

Morris, you are welcome to come up to Michigan and lift with me. This isn't the lounge, logs are about support not attempts at bashing which is against the rules.

 

[Morris 14]

I'm not bashing, I'm just skeptical.

I'll try and sneak a video Wednesday without looking like a dbag.

Nice #s grub!! 3 questions - 1. what's your height, weight and age?; 2. how long have you been lifting consistently; 3. how close do you keep your hands for cgbp?

 

[grubd]

I look at close grip meaning: closer than your normal bench grip, and you feel it in your tri's more than your chest. The wider your back and chest, the wider your grip will be. On a normal bench press my index or middle finger will be on the ring. CGBP my hand placement will be about 3 inches inside the ring.

 

[cpmiller]

Sounds like what I try to do as well. Good to know thanks!
