Nunya's Only Talking About Lifting Thread (even dumbasses can join)

Your press seems kinda low compared to your bench. You have shoulder issues?

My squat isn't great either. I ended up stopping doing them completely and switched to high volume leg presses with some other accessory work. My back is thankful, and I'm seeing growth in my legs again.

does everyone who works weightlifting in bodybuilding parameters have imbalances, shoulder impingements and back problems ? sure seems that way sometimes ... gee if only there were another way.


deep squat as resting position is the solution.

You got some good routines for general leg flexiblity?

you could do a lot worse than buying this on-demand package

trained with dave, he is a straight up ninja. lots of valuable material on their vimeo and its super cheap. well worth grabbing one of their packages for a couple of bucks to see what you think.

here's his youtube

Just ordered it. If anyone else is interested we can do a group buy and save a few bucks.

This arrived yesterday. Fastest I've ever received a kickstarter product. Really decent build quality. First measurement had me about 4% points higher than I thought I was, which is unfortunately probably accurate. Guess I should do a bod-pod type thing to get something more accurate.

Going to use it every day for a couple weeks and see what sort of variance it has. The word is that is as accurate as the top-end methods, but sadly, I'm hoping its not. . .

Thought I was about 6 weeks to the end of my cut. . .

I miss fruity pebbles.

Have you taken an actual test to figure out if it's really accurate? Would actually be very interested if it's somewhat accuarte

 

[NunyaBidness]

Not yet, they claim its dead on though.

My last dexa scan suggested i was 17.5% body fat.

 

[NunyaBidness]

Second weigh-in has me 3% points higher than the last one. I'm guessing this thing isn't that accurate at all. Also gives you a reading for "muscle quality" which I'm not even sure what that means. But, even thought it says I have a shit ton of fat on my abs, the muscle quality is great! So, I guess my fat abs are doing just fine.

Just been doing the recommended 3 pt measurement (abs, triceps, quads), tomorrow going to measure the entire spectrum and see what comes of it.

Definitely disappointed in the purchase so far. Even my shitty bathroom scale with electrical impedance bodyfat measurement doesn't vary this much.

 

[Mirinquads]

Maybe it measures the muscle density or some shit..

@Will we really need a "dislike"-button

 

[NunyaBidness]

Is it sad that I wish I was as lean as that dude?

 

[Mirinquads]

I wish I had his childbearing hips.. I bet he can squat 3plates easy

 

[NunyaBidness]

Yeah, his shoulder/hip ratio is wacky as hell.

I think mine should be pretty good when its not a shoulder/love handle ratio

 

[Mirinquads]

Whats the verdict on the bodyfat measure thingy, nunz?

 

[NunyaBidness]

I dunno, I haven't had time to do the full measurement (pretty much every muscle). Just seems like it varies so much. Last reading, it said I was 3 % points higher than the first one, which there's no way on earth thats true. Comparing to various charts, I would estimate I'm at 20% right now, calipers have me at 18%, and this thing is saying 26.5% Currently 6' and 177lbs and I've put inches on every body part since starting. Just don't think this number is possible. I dunno, maybe its lack of waterweight since my glycogen stores are so depleted?

All the reviews I can find of it are extremely positive tho.

 

[Moretti]

Lack of waterweight shouldn't drive up your bodyfat % when measuring at single points. Almost no way you're 26.5 % at 6ft 177lbs if what you posted in this thread is even halfway accurate. It's probably either the way you're handling it (variation in the spots you're measuring, maybe some different mode that can be turned on at the skulpt chisel etc.) or the thing just sucks.
The latter would at least make me stop being jealous..
