When you say rounding, do you mean bent backwards, or forward?

[dezz]

deadlifting will probably fix your posture issues as your back and core will be stronger..

Bench dips with a 65kg ezy bar on crotch area was quite a gamble, slight slip and its goodbye fathers' day

forward... you need to maintain a slight arch in your lower back even when you bend over to lift the bar

feet wider than hands yeah? never tired those

They be the ones.

Good fun if you are looking to mix it up for plateau smashing purposes.

seated row technique is debated... I treat it like I would do a standing barbell row or T bar row and lock my lower back in and don't move it... I've seen a lot of guys reaching right forward and rounding their back... I've always found that technique a little dubious

I used to row, in row boats - And you certainly don't reach right forward haha.

When i do them i do go forward, but not a full extended type stretch, you can often strain weaker muscles if you go too far with too much weight to drag back.

Just one exercise to be careful of IMO.

in a boat you slide your butt forward to reach yeah? while keeping your back pretty well locked then drive with your legs first?... a lot of my mates rowed in high school and taught me how to use the rowing machines... they have a couple at my gym and it has to rank as one of the worst used machines in the whole place, some of the techniques being used are maximum retard

great sport for building strength and endurance... has to be one of the most physically demanding sports you can do IMHO

I used to row a hard plastic dinghy around Port Phillip Bay when I was a kid...was definitely good exercise. I don't think it presents too much strain on the back as long as you're not leaning real far forwards...unless you have massive oars / oar faces then you won't have anywhere near the weight of seated row, just many many more reps of it lol.

You do slightly lean forward a bit, but not really from the lower back at all, that remains stationary as there is no major strength to benefit from.

Have a look @ some youtube videos, im sure there are some guides as there is for everything else lol

Typical gym DOUCHEBAG...

Wears:

-Asian beer singlet (Bintang, Tiger etc.)

-Local football league shorts or board shorts

-Kung Fu slippers (the more barefoot you look the better)

-A cap inside or peroxided hair or just woke up hair

Behaviour:

-Drives a Commodore or Falcon with an HSV/FPV bumper

-Uses only crossover cables for every single exercise

-Doesn't know how many sets he has left

-Won't offer to work in with you

-Works in with three of his friends at once; 1 minute breaks between each person

-Comes out of hibernation around the start of spring

Talks to his equally retarded gym pals about:

-His next trip to Bali in 2 weeks

-How sick Thailand was 3 weeks ago

-The girl from Saturday night who has now added him to facebook...and wants all three inches of his cock

-How many girls he's stringing alon at the moment

-His mate's relationships / cheating

-How cheap and low km his Commodore/Falcon was

Bit harsh on a few points there...

I wear my footy shorts when it's hot, don't see an issue there.

I squat/dead lift bare foot.

I often wear a hat inside, including to the gym.

[Birds]

Sorry douchebag...

It's not that all footy short wearers are gym douchebags, but all gym douchebags are footy short wearers. I've worn them myself on occasion. These guys aren't doing squads or deadlifts though...and why on earth do you wear a hat inside?

[HEKT1K]

Those big f**k off beanies/tea cosies are also common amongst douchebags

I wear the slippers lol

[R-SPEC]

How do you know they're not wondering the same about you?

Who cares....

[Birds]

I care cause the fuckers hog machines and don't practice good gym etiquette. Had to do something while I was waiting for them to finish, so I wrote that demographic analysis, and in the time it took me, they probably did 2 sets each.

I wear the slippers lol

DIAF!

[GTR_JOEY]

you sound upset mate haha...

maybe next time instead of asking them, tell them ur goin to do a set in between theirs

[dezz]

Anytime my hair is 'too long' (which is usually about 3-4 weeks after a haircut, I'll wear a hat pretty much everywhere. Surely you don't wear a hat to keep the sun off your face?

Never had an issue with people not letting me work in though, helps being bigger than the average member at my gym, but even those that are bigger than me don't seem to mind
