Man, I knew it was only a matter of time before you busted out the "hater" nonsense. You don't have "haters", who are you, Beyonce? You just have a bunch of guys wondering why you feel you are different to everyone else in that you think your work and weird exercises in the gym will bring on the most basic of movements, the squat and the deadlift, whereas 99% of the rest of the world who does these exercises and is good at them does these exercises often without any other replacements.

Can we have a video of this Paul?

MrSmall said:
Or on the flip side, if you are doing that stuff at work, why are you going to a gym to do it?

CJR said:Surely if you're doing squats, presses and deadlifts for 50 hours a week in your job (with a rounded back I gather?) as you say you do, you can quite easily do some ACTUAL squats, presses and deads in the gym with a real bar for a couple of extra hours a week instead of doing all the useless machine work?!

Wayne_Cowdrey said:Chill out guys!

I haven't trained back squats or dead lifts for several years.

PaulSavage said:
Why rounded back?
Big difference between doing them and pushing them in a training cycle. Machines are not useless, you just think they are.

PaulSavage said:
No, what's laughable is you have no f**king idea what you are talking about, yet are telling a guy his job that he's done for a decade. I literally do squats, deadlifts and presses the same as you or anybody else does on a bar, it's just with a rounded grip most of the time. Also lifting a carpet is no different than lifting a stone, so by your genius comment, stone lifting is also 'laughable'.

PaulSavage said:
You come into my log and pretty much flat out tell me i'm lying about my job, yet you don't know me, and i have never lied to you about anything. That is hating.

JC said:
Explain to me how you are doing exact imitations all these gym movements whilst moving some carpet...please!

little_a said:I enjoy your training log Paul. Keep it up mate.

Carpets are sold off racks, 4 carpets each side of the rack, location A,B,C and D. Each carpet is wound onto a bar, so for a location move, to put the carpet onto the rack, i put a large wheel in each end of the bar, one side is high pulled/shruged up to location C, the other end is then deadlifted to location C, each end is then front squatted to location B, and then pressed overhead to location A. I also do some of this when i wind the carpets onto bars, as if the pile direction is the wrong way, i have to lift the carpet onto the rack before pulling it off to wind it on the right way. To be exact, this is a deficit deadlift, bottom up front squat, and viking press.

Was more going for the angle of:
If he's saying he's staying away from squats etc in the gym because he'll get injured, how is he managing to do it for 50 hours a week in his job with infinitely more awkward objects lol.
