Some of your favorite exercises.

I am a powerlifter. I have competed in one strong man contest and that was enough for me. That is serious hard work. I love the iron and it wouldnt be beyond me to do a BB show some day. 90% of what I do is in a power rack with a bar and plates. Not a great fan of machines but they have their place. I am only doing TRT right now and thinking how much I miss being cock strong. These are some of my favorites. Floor press, if you dont know what this is YT it. Bench laying on floor stop when elbows touch floor and press it up. I did 430 last cycle. Incline press. The set up at our gym is super steep. I would rather drop it down a bit but whatever. I did 380 and feel good with that. Next cycle I want 400. Power clean/press, I hate these but I think they are awesome. I am terrible at these 200lbs and I feel like a pussy but I will improve my weakness to become stronger.
Box squat, Again love/hate. I am a poor squater with long legs and torso. Did reps with 405 today but should be doing alot more. Zerchers, again YT it. Its half squat half deadlift with the bar in the crook of your arms. I have done 405 out of the rack with the plates about 6inchess off the floor. Im 6ft 3, no way Im getting that off the floor but I know guys that do. What do you guys like?

I like deadlifts.. my grip is kinda weak so I have to strap up. Weighted dips are another fav. I like squats too. I've done box squats but rather just go as low as I can without a lil "break" stopping me. I found it seems to mess my rhythm up using a box.. I'm really trying to crush bent overs rows with good form. I'll work up to a set amount and on my last set, I'll drop the weight and really focus on the contraction of it. For some reason, I can't get the squeeze on my left side like I do on my right side. As a result of that, my left bi gets pumped much easier then my right.. very very frustrating! Wondering if its due to a previous shoulder injury years ago...

I'm not a big power lifter but I do love decline bench press and deadlift is a love hate thing.

No pwr lfter here either, but I love some squats. Something about having all that weight sitting on your shoulders makes most think your fucking crazy, myself included sometimes. I get a rush every time once I get into my working sets.

I really like doing the Yates barbell row. JDB3 put it in my routine. I never knew about it, but you can really feel it hitting the lats.
and front barbell squats.

Yates rows have become one of my favorites with concentration I can fell my lat's growing-lol

I love dead lifts but usually go for reps not PR's just don't want to snap something.

I am not a powerlifter either but I like heavy weight on the leg press. I like when I get done doing 1500lbs for 6 reps and I get up and there are people just standing there with their jaw on the ground watching me. I sometimes have my wife or someone around at the time climb up on the machine and stand on the weights because I max it out on plates.

I have a youtube video of her on it with me pressing just over 1300lbs.

My goodness I just watched my youtube videos and they are 4-5 years old! I need to make some new ones.

Link us up to the vids bro. We would love to see them.

I will try to make up some new ones and post them. The others are old and before my last surgery. I think the weight was 1310lbs with the machine fully loaded with my wife standing on it, I know I can do more than that now without my wife on the machine.

I loved doing power cleans. Sadly though they are few and far between now.. 🙁
