I was doing one this October, but found out my asthma medication would get me disqualified, I was told others might view it as an advantage
I said advantage??? The only advantage is I can BREATHE!!!
Yeah, no fair breathing Arch.

That's some bovine biscuits!
O'Fallon Mo?
That's a yes. If you need any further info, you can always ask the people at the Chesterfield IHOP. They've been known to weep at the sight of Archie after a comp.

You're getting up into Tom Platz territory.
405 for 20? Holy shit!
Still!
heh...you said 'bolt'...reminds me of the movie, Bolt.Thanks for the input Bolt, this concept is new to me, so I'm throwing it out there!!!
I appreciate your input CP, I guess I never really looked at the RD as a lower body movement, I guess cause it fries my upper back/traps area, so I assumed it was an upper body movement, but if its ok, then I'll keep her!!!Pretty much sounds like you got the idea. I wouldn't consider a rack deadlift a vertical pull (It's still a lower body movement really), but I don't think it works badly there. You are still getting a lot of stimulation on everything on your upper back. The idea is balance, so I think what you have is fine.
Have you considered using unilateral movements for the low body, like a lunge, instead of one of the other lower body movements?
Still havn't seen this, I know, whats wrong with me, I have an 8 yr old daughter who has seen it 20 times, LoL!!!heh...you said 'bolt'...reminds me of the movie, Bolt.
Now I'm gonna see DB post...I'll think: Zoom, zoom...
Thanks JD, gonna start that next month, finishing out this month on my current Push/Legs/Pull/Legs etc!!!Two thumbs up. That is a good looking routine.

Its actually one of my favorite animated/CGI movies.Still havn't seen this, I know, whats wrong with me, I have an 8 yr old daughter who has seen it 20 times, LoL!!!
Is this a sound concept???
Should I mix them up instead of keeping them the same,
ex:
Horizontal Push-Upperbody
Vertical Pull-Upperbody
Legs
Aux
Am I making sense???
LoL!!! Glad I'm not alone!!!I also think of a rack DL as more upper body, since I feel the lifting from the floor hits the lower body. But if you eliminate the lower part of the lift, it seems to be more of an upper body lift. OK, now I'm confused.
Will have to check it out!!!Its actually one of my favorite animated/CGI movies.
Completely understand, and am gonna use them the right way!!! Makes more sense that way too!!!Yes.
No.
Yes.
My preference would be not to mix, ie, keep horizontal push/pull together and vertical push/pull together.
Got it, thanks again CP, much appreciated!!!Lunges hit everything pretty hard. However, it does depend on the type of lunge and the stride length. A longer stride tends to make the movement more hip-dominant. Walking lunges and reverse lunges also tend to be more hip-dominant, while the forward lunge moves along the continuum toward quad-dominance. Like I say though, any variation is great.
