bozodos Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 oh don't get me wrong, confirmation bias and placebo effect are quite powerful things - the Mrs got talked into buying $200 worth of Yor Health BS supergreens, multivitamins and fibre supps by her PT for example. Apparently a lot of people don't even respond to creatine. Most of the others are pure marketing garbage; if you were that serious about some of these "supplements" you'd just spend the same money on a cycle of gear and PCT.

NickR33 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I didn't know where to post this but as I haven't been able to squat or deadlift heavy this is my only joy at the moment lol overhead strict press 80kg x 3... getting close to a bodyweight single oh and mine are actually strict presses... not the ones you see dudes posting where they're clearly locking and unlocking their knees to drive the bar up... or leaning back so far it's a standing chest press lol Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/502/#findComment-7193580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozodos Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 that's impressive - I'm just able to get out 3x8 @ 50kg OHP, legs shoulder width apart, no leg movement and minimal back movement apart from when pushing the bar overhead, and it's hard!

NickR33 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 yeah I think so... will find out in a few weeks at a bench comp coming up... I got 4 x 125kg paused the other day... was meant to be 3 x 3 @125 but I got an extra rep on the last set... hoping for 145kg I think there's a good carryover from overhead > incline > bench press... strong shoulders are a must for raw benching Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/502/#findComment-7193901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitcho_7 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I couldnt agree more. When my shoulder pressing numbers go up so does my bench and vice versa. 125x 4 paused is awesome man! 135 was your last comp bench wasnt it?

NickR33 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 lol yep seated dumbbell overhead, flat bench dumbbell, incline barbell, overhead barbell, close grip barbell bench press, lateral raises and I use the Nautilus seated shoulder press/lateral combo thingy Mitch: My best comp bench is 140kg but I only got 135 at the last comp which is why I totally revised my technique got 132.5 x 2 paused today, fairly easy, looking good for 140+ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/502/#findComment-7195032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
