Yes, I should point out, I do lats BEFORE bis. That workout was backward for some reason, apologies. Just wanted to clarify. Quick question: for trying to gain size and strength, aren't those rep ranges a bit high? I've always been told lower rep ranges with heavier weight. :hmmm: I have been...

EEK! I hate needles LOL hmmm..I guess it's worth contemplating though?

So, I work a desk job all day and use a staff gym which is in one building over. I notice my energy levels dipping throughout the day. It's like long road trips in a car...being sedintary is EXHAUSTING sometimes. Is eating the answer? I eat at about 2:30pm or 3pm meal #3. Then workout at 5pm...

I honestly cannot believe what I'm seeing. I may not be any big dude, and I'm not that strong either really. But, I'm much happier knowing my form isn't THAT friggin bad. I'd rather lift a fraction of that with better form.

I thought you said she had no rack? :roflmao: I kid, I kid! I def. think rack deads would be a good place to start, if you feel those are important.

Okay, so, I figured I'd give some better/more detailed info. Apologies, but I was at work (am) and was rushed, but I have more time to write this out now. Stats: 6'1 ~200lbs BF% - If I had to guess, 17-20% range. I'm not really sure, never had it checked Current Routine. Monday: Flat Bench -...

I'm dealing with a similar issue, hence my similar thread LOl I love this "I want to get toned" idea. Trying to get a girl to eat more is like pulling teeth! hahaha But, I do think that any bit of lifting is better than not at all, and she'll probably see some improvements. Just not sure if...

This is just my personal preference, but I see you're not increasing weights per sets. In other words, you're doing 3 sets of the same weight. I prefer to do 3-4 sets while gradually increasing the weight if i can. Currently I'm trying to keep my reps in the lower range, just because I'm trying...

Ok, so my good friend who needs to be kicked in the arse to get in the gym, wants me to help her out. I told her she needs to do more than just silly jogging and that she should incorporate some weight training. She's not fat by any means, but wants to be in better shape. I told her she can do 3...

make sure you're breathing properly. they are an intense workout and no doubt you may get a light headed feeling sometimes. but I think if you breath properly and don't hold your breath, you should be fine. Also, lighten the weight. rounding your back can occur if you're going to heavy. work on...

Ok guys, I'm bored with my workout and need a new workout that will increase my strength, especially in my pressing movements (chest and shoulders) but I'm not doing a big bulking phase. In other words, I don't want to pack on 15-20lbs and then cut..I'm around 200lbs right now and have been...

Ok, here is a problem I see with things. Those who voted for and elected Obama got caught up in the hoopla a bit too much. I think I could even include myself in this. Too many people on the more liberal side viewed him as a messiah; he could solve all our problems. When the election was over...

You want to squeeze/tighten them up when you get in position and keep them tight throughout the motion. this helps give you a solid base to press off of and puts more emphasis on your chest.

hey hey hey I use bare grip for most things, and some basic wrist wraps for shrugs

This. There are a LOT of things that need to be fixed. Give the man a break.
