hey tuan i hope you do answer this question coz it's really important. i realize that you lockout a lot for benchpress, military press etc. i find that locking out during a heavy set gives me elbow pain. and won't locking out take away the tension of the muscle as you are resting at the top of each rep. i think it's maybe because you're a powerlifter that it is a must to do lockouts to be considered as full reps. i do straighten my arms or legs but without locking out. please give me some tips

[roughneckasian]

@walson95 Considering that I am training for a powerlifting contest, yes, I do need to train to lock out my movements for now. However, this is only for a short time of my training. When I am not training for a powerlifting competition, I do not lock out many of my movements nor am I using anything over 70% of my one rep max. Last, I spend 1/3 of my time on maintenance treatments like icing down my joints after workouts, stretching, mobility exercises, myofacial release...etc.

can you do a muscle up? just wondering

[roughneckasian]

@rerereremixxx yes, but sadly it is only 1. I have a video on it. But at least I can do 1.

First of all you are a beast, 2nd what is the weight on bench press that u can lift MAX 1 time , and 3rd u said few times that u started working out when u were 14 and how tall were u then ?

[roughneckasian]

@broadcast3ful currently, I have done 365 lbs about one month ago to figure out my current one rep max. Personal best in a gym setting, 405 lbs when I was around 191 lbs. Meet wise, I am the current USAPL Texas record holder in the RAW 198 Open Men's with a 402 lbs bench.

[roughneckasian]

@harbeh on this current program yes.

[roughneckasian]

@mcortezzzzzzz there are many overload principles. You can overload with volume of sets, reps, angle of position (board presses, rack pulls) or overrload with weight. Here, I am doing "one" overload set on the hack squat and the bench press with overload on the aspect of weight. Now I caution anyone that thinks they should do this on a regular bases for I do this only once every 4 ro 8 weeks considering the risk/benefit ratio for it is a very high risk for injury.

Do u think supplement for joints? I often sustained elbow joint pain due to lifting.

[youtubegarbage4u]

what is your height?

[510Charley]

Thx for that Tuan. A good primer for my winter workouts. Basic and heavy. Be cool,brother.

[mcortezzzzzzz]

@roughneckasian i understand overload principles. just wondering specifically about your set. truly, it does seem to have a high risk!

At 1:56 the lady just came out of no where.. i thought she was going to do that. I was like NO WAY!

To people that see slow progress, you are probably low in certain minerals and vitamins. They're the building blocks for tissue regeneration and with deficiency in any area, your body will not be able to benefit from the workout as much as it should. The goal is to get all nutrients from food, but you can get natural supplements from iHerb.com (TEG967 discount code) in the beginning to get a boost. More and more athletes are using natural supplements now to make sure they recover fast. Google it
