I take the ON Whey protein and i have to fart all the time, what causes this?
99.99% of the time I see somebody using them its for some B/S like pullups or dumbell shrugs. Seriously, ditch the straps and get some man hands and freaky forearms...
Train heavy enough and you'll need em' Try shrugs w/ 500+ for 10 for a few sets and we'll see how long your grip will hold out. They are there to help you better isolate the muscle your trying to work. For example your grip will give out long before you shoulders fatigue.....meaning instead of wasting valuable energy on your grip trying to hold the bar you can focus more on the form and isolating the shoulders during the movement. That grip will be long gone before you fatigue the muscle. Obviously this was using shrugs as an example but it can pertain to back (as in pullups) , etc....
Yes, but I'm edging close to finally getting that elusive 3x bodyweight deadlift, and I'm going to need all the grip I can get. Also, having such a strong grip really helps pushing biceps training go over the top. For example, I used to be able to curl an olympic bar with 165lbs x4-6reps, no cheating! Unfortunately this lead to me f'ing up my wrist, but now I'm getting close to that again, though I use a EZ-bar now. In my Svend Karlsen video, he shrugs 485 without straps or even reversing his grip. So I know with enough brutal training my grip will be able to keep up with my back strength at any level.
ram360 said:Yes developing forearms and grip is a must. I incorperate exercises into my training that develop that.
necessity is the mother of inventionI know a guy who created his entire "gym" out of various junk laying around. It was hilarious, and effective. Obviously he was very limited in what he could do, but for his intentions it was good. Good for a laugh too, you don't see that kinda stuff everyday!
no kidding. You know what makes for a good farmer's walk? Huge, stuffed bags of leaves after you rake. Grab a couple of those in each hand and walk across the yard with them.

Not everyone is svend karlsen. There is a reason why they have a handful of competitors in worlds strongest man competitions. You need to remember he's got trainers, sponsors, getting stronger is his job, and he's got the genetics. Don't mean to bust your bubble but it is very doubtful you or myself will ever be on that level. Obviously someone that is 6'6 and damn near a solid 350lbs will be able to do things like that. Not saying I can't shug 485 w/o straps (b/c I can and have done it before) however, I can't carry a compact car across the parking lot either.
Only takes one small tweak to ruin your back.
NO-xplode is a great product.
In his prime I think he has a better body then most BB's today! NOT the biggest but pretty dam good considering his prime was 35 years ago!!
fixed
He had much better proportions than the pros of today. Better aesthetics too, but that's my opinion. I prefer the golden age of bodybuilding over today, easy.
