Obitim Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Can i have a dadbod if i don't have kids? Just grab a couple, no one will say anything...probably 1 Link to comment
Obitim Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I like that you clarified. I think as a parent, being in shape should be a priority - not only to keep you healthy to be there for your kids, but also setting an example to your children. Does it take time away from my kids to go to the gym? Sure, so I encourage them to come with me (now that they are at the age that they can). If they don't want to, that's fine; but it's less time away from them than (and I'm totally generalizing here) sitting down with my friends to drink beer and watch football. I will be the first to admit I let myself go after I had my kids. Is a mombod (is that a thing too?) possibly the best I'm going to get? Maybe - but my kids will see me work my hardest to get the best one I can. I could imagine: 'Kevin, you had better be going ful ROM and not doing power curtsies in the rack!' 'Sorry mom' 3 Link to comment

Why not? Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 At what point do y'all switch to a mixed grip?Not until I have to. I went through a powerlifting competition without using it. The rest was sufficient to give my grip a good recovery. On a single heavy lift, grip strength is not the limiting factor for me. I find that it becomes a factor under the cumulative effect of multiple lifts with little rest.

She's an only child so we get a lot of one on one time together. I like hearing my husband tell her "don't bug your mom, she's busy," when I'm exercising. Just because I'm around, I shouldn't always have to be available. 4 2016 goals: Hit goal weight.

matty_mcfly Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 At what point do y'all switch to a mixed grip? I work grip directly so I've started using mixed grip for all my sets.

insanity Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Have you tried doing any grip strength training? I picked up some FatGripz and love them. They hurt my arms so good cause they increase the bar girth making your arms work more to hold the bar. your weight will drop for what you can handle but it will cause your grip strength to skyrocket Guess I'll be looking for some this weekend... know any stores that sell em?So I kind of found some.... got one of these and cut it down to size with a cut longways to allow the bar to be put into it. http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Apool%20noodles Tested it on some dumb bells at home and it's much harder to lift em, and they're only 10 lbs. 3 "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!
