Nearly crushed me lol
you're on the next level Mobster
On the Hammer curls for sure. Skull Crushers there are OG's who used 3 plates a side (Craig Monson). I'll get to 2 soon enough
Craig called this 'back arms'. He claims 315lbs but those bars are NOT 45lbs. So a tad under 300
What are DOHTBDL?
Double over hand thick bar deadlifts.
I see. I have small hands. Dont think I could do much on those.
Thumb length for me is good too
3 plates on skull crushers is absolutely insane. Most people will never even bench press close to 3 plates!
True. And even I need to be reminded. But it drives me to do better too

Nice!! That's a lot of weight!! i'm at 900lbs for reps now but i get an immediate headache so i think i may back it off a little to maybe 720 or so and just work on depth. The headache ruins the rest of the workout. You ever get pressure in the face/head on heavy lifts?
On this no. But for safety I push off the safety bars you normally unrack. I've a 6-inch thick foam pad I add to the seat so I have more range of movement and can't get crush unless the welding fails. On the machines I'm looking to buy there is a peg that can be added to the frame for the same reason. Without the pad I'd max it out no problem.
I have the safety's set and can handle the weight but the headache after the lift is what gets me. I'll prob just back off a little and do more reps that feel good and don't cause the headache.
You might be unconsciously be holding your breath. I can also see that it could be an issue on the vertical leg presses
I wouldn't doubt it.
For the next five weeks i'm going to a single leg hammer press. Been wanting to try it. Also switching from arsenal squat machine to arsenal hack squat for a few weeks.
Tuesday
One of those days. The first half was done but, as happens, the 2nd half of the workout was poor
Side Laterals
to 41.4lbs x 9 reps @ side
Two Hand Pinch / Saxon bar work
This seems to happen every four to six weeks. Warms ups were fine but I only managed 2 or so good reps even after tightening up the set up .

Could just have something to do with being upside down on a leg press. That can be rough on some people while straining.
Have you been using the Arsenal Pendulum? I’ve never used it, but I have the Atlantis pendulum. Talk about humbling, I squat 525 in knee sleeves and I am screaming doing a set of ten at 130 on the pendulum.
I feel you. Anything different food or sleep wise ?
Often as not it's cos I KILLED legs the day before. Like I had a hamstring cramp up getting into bed - now that's a sign I destroyed them
Also - who doesn't love a TD pic. From EuroPharmacies:
