Going to muscle failure might help too. I read in a few magazines that this is very important.

The one where you use the squat bar and with your hands in front of you, you lift the bar up to your chest? I forget it's name. We used to do that in high school in wrestling.

fuck i had my terminology wrong. i thought skull crushers was the work out where you get two dumbells and you hit them together. basically like bench press with dumbells. i just looked it up on the net and found that it was something totally different.

Derr....that was stupid. The title of the thread should have been Dumbells vs Bar. Yeah basically I was asking is it better to use bar weights or dumbells for flat, inclined and declined bench. At the moment I just do the flat bench using the bar and I used dumbells for inclined and declined...

Which is better overall? Or should both be used? At the moment, me and my friend to inclined and declined skull crushers. For the flat bench we still use the bar. Do you think it's better to switch to dumbells exclusively?

Are they a useful exercise? I used to do them all the time, but I stopped doing them after I started going to the gym and working out my chest etc. using weights. I know some people who do pushups everyday and they seem pretty cut. What would you recommend?

Before I started weight training I didn't eat very much. I could seriously go a long time without feeling hungry. But since I started eating a lot more, I've noticed that I start feel hungry more often. Like right around lunch time I'll start to feel pretty hungry whereas back in the day, I...

You have to do everything in moderation. I smoke every once in a while. Usually on the weekends at a party. I drink regularly too, but I rarely get shit faced.

I've been in several since 7th grade. I won them all. Mostly because I picked my battles wisely though. There have been times when I got into confrontations with guys who could have whupped my ass. In those situations, I just talked my way out. I'm not very big, so a lot of people...

Ideally, how many calories per day should someone trying to bulk up consume? I've been eating lots of protein, but I may be eating an insufficient amount of calories as I just discovered on these forums. What are some good sources of calories? I usually eat more than 1g of protein per pound of...

Is Isopure a good protein shake? I've been using it for a while. It has 50g of protein per serving. It also has 300 calories per serving. There aren't many protein shakes with that many grams per serving. But is it perhaps too much? I've heard from some that that's too much for one serving and...

Hi, I'm thinking about using some sort of mass gaining drug. I plan to research it thoroughly before I even begin using it though. So could any one point me in a good direction as to where I should being researching on the net? Also, give me some of your opinions. Just so that I can get some...

Thanks for the reply. And yeah, I do have a stove, oven and microwave.

I've been working out for several months now. I've tried to eat healthy, but it's hard when I'm at college, which is hundreds of miles away from home. I absolutely suck at cooking etc. and my food preparation skills are pretty limited to say the very least. Also, I don't have much time to spend...

It's almost universally accepted among the bodybuilding community that free weights are much better than machines etc. So I think it's a waste to spend over a $1k on a Bowflex. Memberships at good gyms aren't too expensive. Or you can buy a whole bunch of free weights for that price. I guess...

There's nothing wrong with partying as long as you don't get wasted all the time. Maybe every once in a while it's alright. Most of the time when I go out, I have a few drinks, but I don't get drunk. Contrary to what they say, it's sometimes kinda cool wen you're the only sober person in a room...

Hell yeah all those bands rule. Follow the Reaper is one sick album. Not quite workout music, but CoB is one of my favorite bands of all time. Alexi Laiho is an inspriation to me to keep working on my guitar chops.

What are some nice heavy tunes to get me pumped for workouts? I mostly prefer hard rock/metal/rap metal but I'm open to everything. I like music that's either angry or cocky, to just get me in the mood. Basically, the kind of stuff that fighters use as their entrance music before they fight. I...

Hard rock and heavy metal really helps me out. I love to blast Fear Factory before I lift. It really gets me pumped and makes me want to truck those weights.

Yeah we do various tricep exercies too. I just described the chest routine.
