I believe those are the iliopsoas: Sex Muscles Hope this helps. :banana:

Actually, no. Becasue of my height, it sounds a lot more impressive than it is. I'll put up a pic when I get home.

BiggerNstronger I was exactly the same way. I was never a big bencher(I have loooong arms). I tore up my shoulder in a motorcycle accident and hadn't benched in 2+ years. Id been doing, flys, pushups and some rotator work in rehab. I put 225 on the bar and threw it so fast and easy it...

Lifting at 4 in the morning, I have no choice. How do you think I got it up in the first place? If I hadn't, I probably would've been pinned for 20-30 minutes, easy. I'm usually the only one there, aside from the guy at the front desk, until around 5. Ask anyone at X-Sport Fitness:rolleyes...

ChrisR, Do you feel your lats working when you row? Do you hold the contraction for a second or do you release immediately?

I wrestled in high school and college. During the season, I train with my old high school team as the coach lives 3 houses down from me. Wrestling always has been and always will be 6 minutes of hell. Also, my cousin was on the boxing team and we spar all the time. They are both great...

Depends upon what your ultimate goal is.

We used to use them quite a bit when I was in college, I think they helped a lot when I was on the mat. Now, I use them at the end of my workouts now and sometimes I'll pin a couple of plates to the stack and burnout a couple sets of leg extensions and ham curls. A female training partner of...

ChrisR, How tall are you? When you row, does the handle/bar come to you stomach or your chest?

My mother is 5'1" 120lbs and my dad is 5'10" 185lbs of US ARMY SOG/DI piss, vinegar, bone, gristle and sinew. I'm 6'4", 285 lbs and have been lifting since I was 14 and I am now 31.

HEAVY(as heavy as you can go with good form) bent-over rows with an underhand grip and an E-Z curl bar or T-Bar rows with the 45 degree angle grip

165 x 6 175 x 3

I like bent-over rows with an E-Z curl bar. It really surprises me that so few people are doing bent-over rows! Good mornings and weighted hypers are great for the lower back.

A rock bottom squat will help you develop strength through the full range of motion where a half or quarter squat will not. You may also want to do some extra ham work as you'll usually be running backwards for the first 5-7 yards of each play. When I was in college, the strength...

I think people give cable crossovers a bad rap. Of course they don't build mass, but, they are the perfect second half of a superset. I love to dumbell bench and then do standing cable flys, it feels as if my chest is on fire!
