Tear in a ligament? (+12 months recovery)

This is a forum ;) Why not write her a PM? Why not? What is more important is the quantity you eat. Are we talking bucket loads here? I get loose yellowish or liquid stools when trying to eat to much oatmeal. I take this as a sign. Too much of one good thing can be bad.

"Coracobrachialis?" Yes! I think that's the one. "I would guess what Var said. Why?" I overheard a conversation in my gym. A gym member gave advise to a newbie. The newbie was suffering from shoulder pain. He instucted the newbie to do dumbell flies with thumbs pointing towards the midline...

It's a part of the shoulder AC joint complex. Coroc.. Corac..lis or something??? THX

IMO curls. Zotman curls and hammer curls :thumb: Deadlift does strenghten your grip. However, deadlift will only lenghten your arms ;) (disclaimer: sarcasm). I have often seen relatively small girls deadlift a decent amount of weight. They usually have great gluteal, hamstring and quad...

I think dumbells are very awkard. My thighs and hips get in the way. My gym has a couple of short bars originally designed for hammer grip bar curls. I use these two relatively short bars for shrugs in the same way people use dumbells. The point is, the bars are long enough for the weight to...

That's the way to do it. EMG readings show most activity in the lats during front pulldowns. The line of pull is poor in the behind neck version. You do not want your elbows to travel far behind your body. (your lats becomes inactive). Take a look at people doing behind neck pulldowns. Most...

Downtown Guy: I agree with you on the subject of mind to muscle connection. IMO exercising the abdominals is about being in full control and being able to execute the movement very strict. I found it very usefull to increase the difficulty instead of adding more weigth to the regular crunch. I...

Wrong. Stiff arm pulldowns works the lats as well as the long head of triceps. The long head of the tricep is attached to the shoulder blade. That is the reason why the long head of tricep is active during shoulder extension (stiff arm pulldowns) In fact the long head of the tricep work along...

Exercises that allows you to keep elbows above shoulders. Have you ever tried the pullover and press movement?

Genetics. However, include hammer curls, incline curls, regular curls as they place different stress and stretch on the long and short head of the bicep respectively. Hammer curls and incline curl emphazises the short head (inner head) Preacher curls and cable pulley double biceps pose...
