looking good, why are you doing deads on a smith machine? I tried that one time long ago and it was incredibly uncomfortable, almost forced me into bad form or something

[Underdog]

because I can keep the bar stabilized, I do them with out it.. just that time I did it with.

I agree doing deads on a smith to me would be very awkward. It doesn't allow for natural movement.

I honestly cannot believe you would have ANYTHING left in you to compete a workout AFTER a set of widowmakers....

I thought most people did that last thing. I know I always did when I did em

[Underdog]

Naw.. they are my first thing while I am fresh and ready to go.. G4E what do you think of the supplement I am trying out?
