Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

With the heavy BB Rows, I don't feel it in my back and am afraid when the weight gets heavier that I'm not using proper form or something. So what do you think of switching to DB Rows for the Heavy days and staying with Wide Grip BB Rows on the lighter days?
And with Shrugs, one day I do BB Shrugs and the next time I do DB Shrugs, but I'm up to 120lbs on DB's and the highest my gym goes is 130lbs. So on heavy days what should I do? I really don't like the shrug machine (really a lunge/Dead machine but some people use it for shrugs). |

The barbell can get in the way of your range of motion. I like the dumbells, either doing them one handed with a neurtral grip (sagital plane) or my favorite, elbows wide, doing them at the same time like a barbell row. This will increase your range of motion. Barbell rows can be tough when the weight get heavy because your biceps are going to play a big role in getting the bar moving. I usually will allow a small (notice I said small) hip pop at the begining of the rep in order to by pass the biceps starting the movement and jsut make sure you get the contraction fully (touch the bar to your stomach!! Most people don't do this anyway! Just like pullowns, the bar needs to touch your chest). be careful with the hip pop and being bent over becasue of your scoliosis though.

Thanks P-Funk, yeah it's the little Hip-hop I do to get it going when it's heavy, but I just feel I don't have good muscle control at that point. I'll have to try the 2 db's sometime

As long as your measurements are decreasing you aren't taking in too much protein

Well, just because you are using a hiop pop to overcome the bars inertia doesn't mean the exercises is over. Focus on the contraction. Once the bar touches your stomach, or chest depending on how you pull, really try and squeeze your scapula together and then lower the bar slowly and under control. Th eexplosivness of the lift can be followed by a slower negative, overload the negative, don't just let your arms flop back down to start. Remeber to pull that scapula together, just like when you are bench pressing. |

Your measurements dropped, don't worry.
Remember - you may not drop too much in weight because its quite possible you will gain LBM. I did - alot too In my 8 weeks contest diet I gained about 4lbs LBM but the fat dropped. Don't worry - we will watch things and make sure you lose appropriately. That's why measurements are so much more important than the scale right now ![]() |

Last night I had a bodybuilder come into the ER. He's been competing for 16 years and his training partner is supposedly quite good. His website is www.robkreider.com They said I could train with them and they would help with posing and everything.

Yeah, I'm excited but now i'm afraid to call!
No, they definately are not gay. He was listing off some of the girls at my gym I know that he's dated. They confirmed his story He was in because part of his face went numb and paralyzed and thought he was having a stroke. He wasn't.But he did get on me for not doing cardio yet!! Says he is 14 weeks out from his next comp and is already doing cardio twice a day But that's ok, I'm trusting Jodi here ![]() |
