Don't do max reps anymore. Instead just try to increase the overall number of pullups you do in a workout without going to failure. If you are doing 9 pullups in a single set workout, 5 times a...

Where is the tendinitis on your forearms? Extensors? How much are you deadlifting, and how much were you deadlifting when you first got the tendinitis? Are there any other exercises you think...

Taxgeek: I don't think anybody thinks that OP implied that doing incline bench works only clavicular head while sternal head is completely inactive. You're just playing semantics to conjure up a...

I think pin presses would have a better carryover to your normal bench press because your back will be pressing into the bench the same way on both exercises, and your leg and foot position will be...

You list a variety of symptoms, and then you suggest that you have to work out less because of them, and you are considering cutting back even more. But what makes you think your symptoms are...

Yes, twice a week. Then start figuring out ways to add weight.

On the 95kg deadlift vid, watch what your body does when you start the lift. First thing is that you create tension in the bar by pulling your shoulders up away from it, but your lower body isn't...

You can definitely do more than 6 sets of 8. You should be able to do sets of 20 reps with a little practice. Try doing 5 sets of 20 twice a week. Also, be creative and see if you can find a way...

Yes, machines help build muscle, no doubt. The only "free-weight" sub for a lat pulldown would be a pull-up. Many heaver people struggle with pullups though, so pulldowns are used often.

If you...

I agree that doing a whole body routine is fine, especially while you are a beginner. But don't judge the efficacy of your workout by whether or not it makes you sore. Especially at the beginning,...

Would depend on who is doing the stairclimber. If it's a detrained individual, then yes. Even jogging can put leg muscle on someone who never works out. If the person is already holding a lot of...

You need to learn to use your quads to break the weight off of the floor.

When you are about to start the pull, don't think about pulling the bar up, instead focus on keeping your hips down, and...

What are you doing when you grip them? Just standing with your arm at your side? You could probably get a good isometric contraction in most of your forearm muscles by gripping heavy objects, but...

No, because you'd mostly be training the muscles that flex the fingers. There is other muscles in the forearm that extend the fingers, as well as flex and extend the wrist, and flex (and a tiny bit...

Doing weighted dips probably won't hurt. Are you training for a set day you need to perform? Or just trying to increase dips over time? Also you can try working sets that you know you can easily...

The no above 92 heart rate statement is off, not sure where you got that, but I wouldn't go back to that well for any more info.

Keep in mind that "Aerobic" doesn't mean "fat-burning." Aerobic is...

Muscles twitch often when they are fatigued. It's nothing to worry about, it's just something that happens from time to time.

Also consider that when your elbow is fully extended, the brachioradialis (a forearm muscle) does most of the work to begin the flexion. If you feel like you are hitting your forearms too hard, try...

You're not missing any chest plate. The spot in which the muscle fibers of your pec originate are just different on one side than the other. It's kind of the same way that some people's abdominal...

It's probably because your upper back is rounding a little more during the front squat than it does during an overhead squat. Once there is a little rounding in the upper spine the lower spine will...
