Grip work
Is it better to do weighted crunches with dumbbells or plates? I see you've done 50 lbs of plates, so could that've been two 25's? I would think using a 45lb would be pretty uncomfortable and would cut off ROM a bit. I've been using dumbbells recently but what do you think?
ReplyDeleteI prefer plates because you can clutch them compactly to your chest. The heavier you go with dumbbells and the larger they get, the more they will jut out.
ReplyDeleteDo you always do unilateral lower body work, or is it just 1 lowerbody day a week?
ReplyDeleteI do two lower body days a week (DE and ME), and unilateral movements like lunges only on the ME day with my current setup.
ReplyDeleteI have recieved the book, many thanks.
ReplyDeleteLike Are You Serious?
ReplyDeleteI'll give plates a try then
ReplyDeleteI phrased my question retardedly, but you answered it sufficiently, much thanks.
