I may go up from that, but we'll see.  420 is only 10 lbs short of double my bw.  You're at more than 2.5x your body weight, that's pretty impressive.  I'd have to go up another 100lbs to hit that.

 

Won't be anytime soon I don't think, but then again I've really only gotten serious about deadlifting in the last 8 months or so.

 

Also, what's with people dl'ing with no shoes on...?  Does that help somehow?

squishy soles can push you forward. barefoot lets you get a flatter, more even press off the floor.

 

not that it mattered for me in that lift since I kinda freak out when I PR. 

 

I just looked it up... I guess that makes sense that you're a little closer to the floor.  Might try it.

Hey Fiz, I'm curious... you seem to be pretty into fitness and lifting, what other exercises do you do and what are your weights?

407.

If you want I'll write you up something later tonight. I'm also a trainer and am a crossfit l1 intern so I train people all the time.

Just tell me your weight, age, and lift numbers.

Also buy starting strength. It's the best weightlifting resource for beginners.

I certainly don't consider myself a beginner, but I could also stand to learn a lot as well.

 

weight is 215, age is 40 and lift #'s"

 

 

DL:  420 1RM

Bench: 300 1RM

Leg Press Machine:  20 plates, roughly equivalent to a 450 squat, 5 reps.  Don't squat much because of limited ROM in my left shoulder.  Hard to hold the bar on.

 

Looks like a good book, I'll check it out.

Well I've got some time.

You want the basis of your lifting routine to be compound movements like squatting, deadlifting and pressing. These aren't your beach muscles typically, but they're the ones that provide the largest muscular and neuroendocrine response. That's the stuff that makes you lose weight, increase bone density, give you more energy, build muscle mass, etc. they should be the focus. You should always do them fresh.

From there add in your accessory lifts. Bench, leg extensions, whatever.

Lastly should always be whatever uses the least muscles. Also your lol lifts like curls and calf extensions.

The first question you have to answer is what you want.

That's pretty much what I do.  Usually start with compound movements... try not to do the same workout twice in a row (different exercises and order) and don't do a whole lot of isolation work.

 

I guess my goal has always been kind of general fitness...  never really been into bodybuilding or strength, but kind of a combo of both...

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it.

      True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
