usmc123 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Just curious if anyone lifts here. I enjoy it, I'm no Arnold but I enjoy the Olympic lifts, I just can't do cleans for the life of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xplorer4x4 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Cleans are a pita. I used to lift back in high school when I played football but the accumulation of back problems(broken L3,L4,and L5) and knee problems(lack of cartilage in my right knee from surgery) has hindered alot of physical activity for me. I liked doing skull crushers(tricep curls basically) and squats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nick Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'm into weightlifting too, but had to take 10 months out due to a couple of bad injuries, just getting back into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked doing skull crushers(tricep curls basically) and squats.Yeah, last year I worked mostly triceps and biceps but this year I realized that was the stupidest mistake. I came into this year weak in the legs and it really screwed me over in everything except Bench and maybe Deadlift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I do the occasional weightlift, but i'm more propelling into my atheletics career, hoping to get sponsored by Adidas(No, it's not impossible), for my Triple Jump in the National U18 Finals for 2012.

Newfoundking Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I do a little every now and then, last time I checked I benched around 200 or so, but that was a while ago, so more now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
