I’m not nSuns savvy but I’ve been where you are outside the body weight. It’s hard to know exactly what you need without a video of your fails so here goes.

If your natty:

Get milk: drink a quart a day if you’re not already if you are double it. The higher quality the better - A2/A2 grassfed raw cows milk is commonly available, grass fed goat might be better because it’s the closest thing in the animal kingdom to breast milk.


Get a d[oor anchor ](Lifeline Heavy Duty Door Anchor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006PDLGRW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_gUEXDbRY6FPWS) and this band or one like it width and length are key. When attending a WSBB seminar they said their biggest benchers would break plateaus by using this band for tricep pulldowns 100-300 reps a day throughout the day. It makes sense seeing as how the tris are heavily engaged in a proper bench - this tactic creates proper engagement. When you have tight or well developed pecs and shoulders (ant delt) the tris can lag behind.


One tactic I did was switch over to dumbbell benching for a month. Another plateau was broken with focusing on myofibrillar engagement by lowering the weight and creating an unstable environment.

I do like the X3 bar and the research behind it. I’ve used accommodating resistance before I even knew what it was in 2008. I’m not saying buy the bar although I don’t think you’d regret it especially if you travel often or are extremely time restricted. There’s concepts to be applied the here that cost way less than the X3 bar. Hooking weights to the barbell attached by bands is a game changer.

Measuring your resting heart rate or monitor your heart rate variability is a good way to ensure you’re not over taxing your CNS. You might just need a break or a few weeks of pushups or higher rep lower weight.

  1. Use hook grip for most of your sets.

  2. Switch to mixed grip when your grip starts to give out. Switch which hand is over/under between sets to avoid imbalancing your work.

  3. Do Farmer Carries in between your sets on non-deadlift days, which also helps with core strength. Do both one handed and two handed Farmer Carries.

  4. Buy a cheap adjustable grip trainer and do 3x7 per hand on it daily, until you can complete all the reps, then turn the dial a bit to make it harder.

  5. Once you've maxed out the cheap grip trainer, get a good adjustable grip trainer and do that same with that. Or you can skip the cheap grip trainer and just get the good grip trainer to start with.

Eventually you are only going to hit the point where you are lifting 95% of your true 1RM. How many lifts of that should you be able to hit? 2 - There's a good book to read about this: "A Practical Approach To Strength Training"

Honestly, just go buy a scale. They aren't that expensive. You don't have to have a super fancy one.

u/liamdavid · 10 pointsr/nSuns

Sleep. Fix your fucking sleep. It is your foundation for improving everything else.

Audit your routines and schedules. Are you using your phone/TV right up until the moment you close your eyes? Are you going to sleep at a consistent time? What does your caffeine intake look like, especially in the latter half of your day?

If you don’t fix this, your lifts are the least of your worries. Your sleep, or lack thereof, will largely dictate most areas of your life, from your health, to your relationships, your motivation, as well as your mental, physical, and sexual performance, and through secondary effects, your academic/career/financial life as well.

Fix. Your. Fucking. Sleep.

Start here (20 minutes). Then here (2 hours).

Then read this.

I bought a couple of these. They fit over an oly bar perfectly.

u/mike7382 · 1 pointr/nSuns

Still looking around? I make these and sell on Amazon/Ebay. Great quality and weight tolerance of +/- .02lbs.


Micro Gainz 1.25lb Micro plates

u/OiledPelicanEgg · 3 pointsr/nSuns

Depends on your budget. I recently made my first belt purchase and went with this harbinger belt. I went cheap just to see how a belt feels before dropping serious cash down. Now that I've use this belt for a month now I don't see needing to upgrade anytime soon, feels great on heavy deadlifts and squats. A lot of the more experience lifters recommend Inzer Belts if you don't mind spending the cash.

I'd suggest looking into getting a Theraband . That helped me when I started getting golfer's elbow. I also purchased elbow sleeves, they don't increase my lifts but they help to keep the elbows warm.

u/Nimbis207 · 1 pointr/nSuns

I use a Sting Ray for front squats as well as a Manta Ray for my regular squats. They help me focus on form and not worry about how the bar is sitting. A bit pricey but it was worth it for me.

u/GetZePopcorn · 3 pointsr/nSuns

Buy a light band like this: https://www.amazon.com/Purple-Pull-Up-Assisted-Pull-up-Resistance/dp/B00KLMU4NA/ref=lp_3407931_1_14/134-6758505-1488342?s=exercise-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1520165760&sr=1-14&th=1

Do three things with your band.

  1. Simulate your bench press movement with the band instead of a bar. Do A LOT of reps. I normally do one straight set with a band of 75 reps.

  2. Band pull-aparts

  3. Shoulder dislocations
u/cydonian_knight · 1 pointr/nSuns

I bought the red band last year. The resistance is perfect for pull aparts and shoulder dislocations.

"buying 2.5 lbs (1.25x2) worth of weight"

Trademark Innovations Fractional Weight Plates - 1.25lbs Each (Set of 2) $17.29

My bad, I didn't think 2.5 lbs was a microplate to people. I thought it was standard at most gyms as I've never had a problem finding 2.5 lb plates and you're right, it is cheaper the last time I looked.

​

The cheaper 1.25 lb plates that are cheaper starting at $3 only fit 1 inch diameter bars.

u/Bangle30 · 3 pointsr/nSuns

I use this for tracking workouts.

no they are separate

This is the Magnesium i take - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BD0RT0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1

the melatonin is just one that I picked up in my local grocery store

u/DiscoPangoon · 2 pointsr/nSuns

Mine are just some cheap ones from Amazon, the standard wrap around and twist kind - never done me wrong.

Brother has given me his figure 8 ones but they are a bit meh.

Never tried the hook ones.

They just take that grip-strain off, that flares up my elbow, I only use them for rowing though, not had a deadlift grip problem yet so I cant say how they'd hold up above 200kgs.

Edit: this style.. cheap as chips

u/SamuraiWisdom · 2 pointsr/nSuns

https://www.amazon.com/Expand-Your-Hand-Bands-10-Pack-Goodbye/dp/B00083B79M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523487328&sr=8-1&keywords=ironmind+finger+bands

These are the exact ones I bought. I paired them with some Captains of Crush grippers, to work on classic grip strength, but the bands were quite the revelation. No more elbow pain!
