your not supposed to put the bar back on the ground between reps?

It makes it harder.



Hm, now that I think about it most ppl I know do touch and go. lol
My gym was closed Tues-Wed, and spoce to be re opened yesturday, but some bitch put white out on the date and changed it to the 20th(yesturday, yes I wanted to dead lift my car into the doors and squat someones head until it poped) So I almost said fuck it, I'll just do it tomorrow. But on my way home, I remembered there was a PLing gym pretty close, so I just drove there, and I think I'm going to join. Even though they train at stupid times. lol. and I dont know how often I Can train b/c when I work, my ass hole boss doesn't tell me, and it's useually M/T/TH
So yea, new gym, fuck hex plates

Of course you have to touch the ground, but John does a pause before lifting it up again.

Super big PR.

HEY

so having a debate in other thread, in general for the average person what is easier, gaining muscle mass or gaining definition?

Which ever you support, the other side.






















Actually on second thought, I wouldn't say one is harder than the other..different things to do..and different people think one might be eaiser than another..it's like asking, what's harder Squat or DL? Two different things...some ppl can't squat for their life, but can DL a elephant, and vise versa.

i think you are comparing two things that are completely different.
There are certain limits on the body and I have always seen that the limits for gaining mass at a certain time period are much smaller than the limits for losing weight.
If you take two people for instance with the same body type, same weight, same height, everything identicle and tell one to gain 10lbs of mass, and the other to lose 10lbs of fat/water weight, which one is going to get there faster....

Well done man, your form is really good I like the way you go all the way down to.


I will post some videos soon. I need to show Arun up I see you there.

nice DL John.

I'd like to thank you btw, until seeing you with your pauses I never paused, now that I'm pausing I'm noticing much more power coming from my DL, better form, and better posture on the daily.

And that folks is the smile that makes the panties drop.

Let it be known, bitches love the ears...and nanners.

I dont know why you ask me for my opinion and then don't even accept it unless it goes along /w what you said...it is 2 different things.
Some people have a harder time doing different stuff..it's not that cut and dry as you made it..but in the example you gave..losing body fat would be much faster.
The person loseing 10 pounds could do it over night /w water weight..or if it's real fat, they could lose 1 pound a week, and be healthy..maybe more or less, depends on several things.
Gaining 10 pounds naturally would take 10 months, at the min.

A natural person can expect to gain 1 pound of muscle a MONTH..if you can any more weight than that, it's fat. 12 pounds a year is a ton..go to the store and ask for 12 pounds of the leanest meat they have, then picture yourself spreading that on your body.

Regardless, you can't really compare the two..two different things.
