You can have some of mine - ugly things that they are. Seriously though, body fat and genetics.

Squats. They just feel good. Plus leg DOMS is kind of enjoyable, unlike anywhere else - I find.

You'll sweat a lot working out and you'll sweat a lot in a sauna - just make sure you stay hydrated.

No Edit: Yes.

:headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang: I think you're too fat. What do you want to hear?

It may be, like Plums suggests, a matter of mind/muscle connection - force your body to use your lats and you'll feel it. They're never going to feel as worked as the pecs are though.

I'd suggest posting a short video of your form. My knees travel just past my toes as well when I drive through the heel; I believe it's just inevitable for my skeletal structure. Sometimes I squat wide and I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but I wouldn't want to stop squatting with...

SNRI - Serotonin and Noradrenaline/Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors. Similar, newer and possibly more effective. The point was to talk to a doctor about it. It's very easy to self-diagnose yourself with almost anything, but I think if you express a desire to a doc to trial meds then they...

Two things that work for me: 1. Hobby. Something to devote your energy to - something you do for yourself. Basically like Gaz and maniclion said. I started Judo for this reason and now it's something I look forward to and something I can rely on without fear of being let down by other...

Sounds like something I might do from time to time anyway. If I fail near the end of a set I will usually put the bar down/let go, wait a few seconds and pump out the last couple of reps.

I know a couple of old school exercises for training the neck in Judo. 1. On hands and knees have a partner steadily push your head from the side so you rotate on the spot. 2. Bridge forwards on your head and your feet and then rotate the head gently. 3. Bridge backwards on your head and your...

Do you want to train your neck by being punched? ;) A strong, thick neck in judo helps with: not being choked, bridging and rotating safely on the mat, not being controlled by the head and tucking the head in while being thrown.... whiplash hurts!

+1 My neck was the first thing people commented on when I started to grow from eating more and deadlifting more weight.

Whatever your priorities are. Mine's soft hands, so I'll always use gloves.

Online calculators give me 7.5% bf... and I think we look pretty similar. Since I'm first to reply, might as well say... You can get more help if you post the marcos from your diet up (use fitday to calculate) and also post up your lifting routine so people like Gazhole can say how well it's...
