PIA's Powerlifting Journey

[P.I.A]

I was using T-bar rows for my back. I bulked up there quick.

My gym stupidly got rid of its T-bar Machine.

Hey guys, I have a website that I frequent. Heres a link, it goes into detail about high intensity training in Powerlifting. I'm going to start implementing it after the rotation is up. http://www.lift.net/2013/08/21/high-frequency-intensity-training-for-powerlifting/

I do t bar rows like this guy (just a little less weight).

I used to do it like that until the gym owners told me I was tearing up the wall. I had to revert back to Bent-over-rows.

I do those as well, in the same kind of rack.

 

Don't quite get 5 plates however.

I find a machine that's got a good corner and is it to keep from tearing up the gym.

I worked out in a gym in Charlotte with Boo's bf and they had built a little box out of 2x4's for the end of the bar to sit in and not destroy the wall.

 

 

When I do them, I use a V bar handle on the bar... great, great exercise for the entire upper back.

It's a lift that gets you strange looks

Yeah same. Ive started doing Supine Body rows, they freakin suck. Find a rack, place a bar in the rack, jack your feet up till your feet are higher than your upper body, grasp said bar and pull till your chest meets the bar. In my opinion, those suck worse than Pullups. Its alot easier to do them weighted as well.

Yeah but only from the pussies that don't know how to lift weights... you know, those guys that load 225 on the bar, do half reps and come up smiling like retards...

How does it compare to wide grip pull ups?

The amount of half-wits that come and try and boost their ego next to me is crazy . They load up plates on plates on plates and then proceed to squat MAYBE quarter depth. On tuesday someone did that to me and I was chuckling to myself as I went ATG. Thats my one big gym pet peeve. I just cant stand it.
