is doing Jefferson curls to prevent spinal injury legit or BS? will these really make me less susceptible to deadlift injuries?
>>76699429>(deep)
>>76699429you could just do RDL, KB snatch, KB swing, seated good mornings. Jefferson Curl can be dangerous
>>76699429>breathes>BRAAAAAP
>>76699429No
>>76699445from what i understand, the logic is that people who get spinal injuries during dl get it because their spin momentarily goes into flexion while under a load, and the average deadlifter has never trained their spine under flexion before. so if you train it specifically for that, it's less dangerous if you accidentally catback a little during a lift. idk it makes sense to me.
>>76699445lol
>>76699565what the fuck did I just watch hahahahthat is the most direct route to snap city I have ever seen advertised, and 4pl8 at that.Like, the dude is obviously in good shape but regular people should absolutely not attempt that, and he probably shouldn’t either.
>>76699429Do it with 2pl8 and then we are talking
>>76699565>disability benefits speedrun
>>76699619>>76700010You don't know what you're talking about. You will be small and weak for the rest of your lives
>>76699619>>76700010post body and lifts
>>76699565damn son from zercher deadlift to Jefferson curl
>>76699445is jefferson curl with the barbell dangerous?you just slowly progressive overload it and it remains safeand by the time you're doing 2plate+ your glass is made of titaniumit hits all the smaller muscles that get no attention while keep a rigid static spineloaded spinal flexion is goated
>>76699619it's the opposite actually, once you get up to that weight with zercher deadlifts you never have to fear snap city again, you can do fuckin anything and be finedid you know back injuries are the #1 cause of people taking time off work? it's a multi billion dollar industry; physio, chiro, surgeries, pain meds, hell even anti seizure meds and anti depressants are prescribed (doctor told me to take them)you know what else? it's never been as prevalent as it is todayyou know what else? everybody tells you to never lift with your back, always keep a straight back and lift with your legsso people follow these instructions and grow a weak and fragile back that can't handle shit and they fuck it up picking up a small box off the groundin the old days people just picked shit up naturally, rounded back, straight legs, just pick it up and don't be gayback then back pain was not an issueDO YOU GET IT YET??!
>>76699565Eh he's in the army anyway. If he stays more than 4 years his back will be fucked up regardless. May as well look cool while doing it
>>76699429> does lifting workYes,retard.
bumpim about to do it so i will find out for myself
>>76701907stay lightonly use the empty barbellhang out at the bottom and try to increase your range of motiondo a few reps, rest try againyou won't know if you're super sore til the next dayif it's easy add 5lbs to either side next time
>>76701911will do, thanks anon
>>76699619Out of all the autistic lifts i tried in my life zerchers are literally the safest to fail and the least likely to injure yourself doingI've never felt something "wrong" during or after the lift for bending my back the wrong way or not being in a certain position bracing and tensing during the entire thing like a deadlift or squatIt's full proof retard exercise It just feels natural, if you're a subhuman with no wrist mobility and cant front squat i advice you to try it instead, and your normal squat and deadlift translate decently into zercher unlike your front
>>76700651We get it bro, it's not an unfamiliar concept - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? ok well why don't you brush your teeth with acid and see how far that gets you, rationalizing that this will actually help you by making the teeth stronger overall? It doesn't always work like that, sometimes damage and risk is just damage. Sometimes it is just snap city and permanent, irreversible damage and your anime logic doesn't work and you'll be too embarrassed to tell people what caused it. Zercher squats are basically like people putting swords down their throat, it's a daredevil sport for no purpose. Could it help the throat become stronger? uhh, in theory I guess it could strengthen it minutely. In practice it is pointless and just dangerous.
i did the jefferson curls
>>76702075good job
>>76700651Yes dude that makes perfect sense, in fact people working manual labor jobs end up indestructible after 10 to 20 years doing so. They definitely don't have destroyed back and knees and medical fees piling up over the years because of it.
>>76702245people who train the jefferson curl effectively are doing like 2-5 working sets per week, a total of maybe 5 minutes of total work and thanks to proper resting, nutrition and progressive overload the body adapts and the weight goes upwhere did I say that doing the same motions for 8 hours a day 40 days a week is in any way healthy for the body? I'm talking about lifting techniques hereare you trolling me or are you just this retarded naturally?
>>76702245i've done manual labor for a living and every guy who hurts himself doing it is just dumb or old or an alcoholic or some combination of the three
>>76702317Some people have real problems
I did it with a 5kg plateworst DOMS of my life wtf I feel like I got shot
>>76699429I like them and do them at the beginning of my fullbody workouts.
>>76702419you've begun walking the road to having an indestructible diamond backjust don't load it too heavy too quicklysmall increments, following the starting strength blueprint, add 5lbs per workout, hit it 1-2x per weekin a few months you'll be j curling 2 plates and never ever enter snap city
