re: Weight Lifting: Thoughts/Recommendations on Breaking a Plateau

I have my width just so my arms slide down my sides. Any closer kills my wrists. I agree that CGBP is the best exercise for Triceps with less strain on the shoulders.

You lockout strength is related more to you upper back. Try working on some heavy bent over barbell rows and heavy seated cable rows.

Interesting. I do lots of pull-ups but not much in the row department. I'll try to incorporate these in more.

I know people always expound upon the benefits of negatives, but how do yal realistically do them?

I read about how you can handle as much as 50% more than your 1RM in negative applications so you want to use this to your advantage, but how do I feasibly do this without a partner? Do you have to have a partner there to pick the weight off you on something like bench? How would this work for overhead press or squats?

Do you decrease the weight and do the slow negative with explosive positive? I've done these before, but it doesn't seem like it's taking advantage of the increased load handling aspect of the negatives that's supposedly so important.
