The man above me is correct. Do your research on time under tension. If you go heavy with low reps and a short time under tension in each set you need to do more sets. Hit a month or 2 with strength training then switch it back to hypertrophy. For now be happy with the strength gains, mass...
IMO 8 reps in a set isn't strength training. Yea sure it's a lil more strength training then doing 10 reps but 8 reps is still hyper trophy as long as you have the proper time under tension and you control the weight in the eccentric portion of your exercise like you should always do anyway...
Smith machine is worthless IMO. Unless you are doing ballistic bench press you should never use a smith machine for ANY exercise! Get 2 ppl to help you lift the weights and stand as spotters and if that isn't possible get in a different gym. When you are able to do squats don't only do the...
Damn that sucks bro I feel for ya and hate to hear about it. Shit happens tho, I currently have a strained elbow that is limiting what I can do with upper body also. If I were you I'd do what I could with lower body until I heal up. Look at this as sort of a rest for your body then hit it...
A wider grip will ultimately make you stronger on your bench press but like all the other guys said focus on keeping elbows tucked to protect your shoulders. I personally go with what I feel like is a medium grip and keep my elbows tucked but not too much. But then again I'm all about body...
I live by 1 minute rest between sets. IMO 2 to 3 mins is too much unless you are doing super heavy compound exercises such as deads, squats, bench, clean and press etc. I tend to take a little more time between sets in these exercises.
Chest/back, delts, rest, bi/tris, leg, rest. This routine may be a little better for u. Be creative and make your own routine that will work best for yourself.
Horrible injury bro and I've been there, believe me when I say I feel your pain. Personally I think you should do whatever it takes to have an acl replacement surgery. Until then I'd stick to what I could do with a light weight.
Cissus is a great product and will work wonders for your joints but you can also keeps joints more healthy and mobile throught your diet. Fish oil is good for the joints. After a workout you should take in some good oily fats like peanut butter or olive oil to help keep your joints in top shape.
