If you can carry you shopping your not buying enough food. If you cannot carry your shopping your not lifting enough. And go.

Has anyone had experience with the Hex Trap bar?

Looks like it could be a bit easier/safer on the back.

I'm not about to buy one, just a random discussion topic more than anything.

Part of me thinks that it'd allow you to lift more without risking the back, but at the same time makes me think that if the back is supposed to be getting a workout during DLs then you're kind of cheating.

I'm thinking it makes the squat a pull exercise rather than push too.

Looks like it just targets your legs and traps more due to being able to load more weight onto the bar and retain a more upright/vertical spine.

You're right, somewhat defeating the purpose....though I'd definitely give it a shot myself right now - surely better than not doing deadlifts at all :P

Yes you will, I'm pretty sure your post count will start going backwards now too.

Until you go and squat again.

And don't hate on vagina's a decent one can take an absolute pounding.

I didn't squat last night when I was supposed to, will I lose all my gains?

If you don't mind contracting superaids and head cancer, you have nothing to worry about.

People keep referring to vaginas in a derogatory sense, implying weakness.

It's been said before, that testicles are pretty damn fragile, but the vagina can take a pounding by comparison.

Take that how you will :D

Exactly. Doing this exercise to avoid an injury that never used to be there is defeating the purpose of building the back stronger.

Stronger back = deadlift more.

Working the rest of the muscle around the problem makes those muscles stronger, but not the injured ones = imbalances

Imbalances are right up my alley, I should definitely get one.

Just gettig freight quotes on racks at the moment.

What?

I'm saying deadlift the proper way after, in this case back, is healed.. Not do something that is a way around fixing the issue.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      Living With An R33 Gtst

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
