Cool vids, strong hack squatting!

Also love how geared up that dude's arms/hands/etc are (doing the curls in the background).

@Aaron,

Yeah, interesting. Looks like he has bionic arms :)

In the 2nd video, you're pretty hung... oh... weights. XD

@Todd,

Ha ha ha ha ha. I used to work out with this guy Dave - as I'd waddle over to the dip rack, he's say something like, "Quit your bitching - now you know how I feel."

@Ben: LOL

Damn, Ben ... Way to go!

I don't know which video made me hurt more...I think the crazy barbell hack squats did! How much freaking weight did you have on those dips?

@Craig,

I actually mislablled the dips. I said it was 135, but in reality, there's a 10lb plate on the outside (total 145lb). I have to put towels on the handle otherwise my palms kill me.

Both are awkward, but the hack squats take if for straight up discomfort.

Yeah, looks good!!
How many dips do you without weights?

@Marko,

I haven't done dips without weight in a while. Even so, I wouldn't go about 20 reps or so in any given set as I would start to really work the endurance muscles, not those with the most growth potential.

Nice videos. Keep them coming. Getting me pumped up for squats in about half an hour!

@Mike,

Good to hear from you my man. Good luck with the squats. Mine are tomorrow.

Ben, what are you using to hold the weights on the belt? Did you buy it online or is it something you rigged up yourself?

In the book huge in a hurry, the get ready phase, do you do workout A, B, C all in the same day, 3 times a week or do you only do workout A one day then B the next etc@Craig Kaminsky,

@Brandon,

I'm using a weight belt with a chain - it's a standard belt that you can get any sporting goods store that caters to weight lifting.

@Jim,

I do workout A on Monday, B on Wednesday, and C on Friday.

Ben, Thanks for your previous response. Did you notice any results from the Get Ready program or did that just help you figure out how much weight you should be using. I am starting this tomorrow so I have many questions. Thanks

Thanks Ben, I have the belt just wondering what kind of chain you used. I think I found a good solution that works. Just reading through the book, it arrived this week. Great book so far.

@Jim,

The Get Ready program is simply to become comfortable with the style of movement, rep schemes, and probably new exercises. I don't think gains would / should be expected. Plus, it's only two weeks long (from what I remember).

@Brandon,

The chain is actually attached to the belt itself. Example:

But, I am sure you could jimmy up something using a separate chain and standard weight belt (I've even made one out of rope and duct tape in the past!)

good workout vids keep em coming
