What do you guys think about muscle ups? Do you believe it is a good exercise to supplement into an upper body workout?

long story short. Ive been suffering from a tricep injury for about 4 years. i cant do any overhead pressing because the muscle pumps up too quickly and fatigues after even one heavy set. it also doesnt seem to gain hardly any strength. ive tried many ways of rehab in this time. slow negatives,...

I am unsure if I should be doing wide grip pull ups or narrow grip pullups. When I do narrow I can do like 5 sets of 10 but with wide grip I can only do 5 sets of 5. What would be more effective?

Hey guys, I am currently cutting weight, so obviously I am at a caloric deficit. I have been lifting light weights for about 5 months now, and havent seen any big changes, some changes in definition but no real mass. My question is, now that I am starting to lift heavy weights with lower reps will...

If I do the elliptical for 30 mins a day, will it decrease my explosiveness on the court? I'm trying to increase my cardio and explosiveness at the same time.

So I have shoulder instability and my shoulder sockets (both left and right) and constantly being pulled forward and out of the socket. Whenever I visit my chiropractor or a physiotherapist he/she will push my sockets back into position. I am trying to do exercises to strengthen my scapulas and...

Hi Since starting a heavy lifting plan my legs have definitely got stronger, but they're still not defined at all. I use our gym at work and they only have dumbbells not barbells which is a pain, but I'm still trying to lift as heavy as I can. At the moment I do: Static lunges holding weights...

I know it may be a bit of a stupid question, but how long would it take to build up decent triceps, biceps, and forearms? I'm not talking about bodybuilder status arms, but arms that are good enough to be proud of. If I were to work them out specifically 1-2x a week, how long would it take?

I've got possibly a bizarre question, or a really newbie question. Either way it's a puzzle to me and if anyone can offer some insight, it would be great. I'll give you a bit of a background so you're aware of potentially what I'm capable of and stuff. I've always been physically capable and in...

Hello, I have alot of problems with squatting. The biggest problem is the bar position. I squat high bar because low bar gives me alot of stress on the lower back (ofcourse because i do it wrong i think will post a video of low bar ASAP). I use do wins as shoes in these videos. My ankles are...

When doing the Bent Over Barbell Rows, I always am sure to keep my lower back arched/straight so there's no curve, but often I will feel the pressure/strain in my lower back SOONER than I feel it in the upper/mid back which I believe the exercise targets. For that reason I also find it difficult...

Sort of like with Pendlay rows and bent over barbell rows, when I perform this movement I feel it better in my lats if I include just a bit of explosiveness. I'm not talking using the hips to jerk the weight off the floor, swinging my body, or humping the bar. My body remains almost stationary, I...

Is it true that some amount of forward lean on your squat really hurt your knees? I personally do low bar and I have gotten pretty bad knee pain recently

In the video I am using 120 pounds and weigh 135. The most weight I have ever used is 135 (5x3). I've had a trainer explain this lift to me, but he gave me conflicting advice with some things I've read on the Internet, but recently I've been trying to learn using this link:...

I ask this because at my gym im the only one i see that holds the weight behind my head. I hold a 10lb plate and aim for about 15 reps. Now I always see people holding a weight on their chest, ive tried this a few times and seriously dont find it to add much resistance. Ive done them with a 45lb...
