I've been working on this since January and have seen improvements in some places but not in others. I've realized that I have seen little progress because I've only tackled 3/4 of the equation (hf,...

Thanks for the link. I have seen that sticky before actually, and it still doesn't really cover my question about the ab work because he only mentions planks. But I do understand that posture and...

I have been that forward leaning, head down type guy my whole life. Only in the last year have I been walking/sitting/standing more upright. It has done a little bit of good, and I will keep at it,...

Hip flexors/erectors are too tight & posterior chain/abdominals too loose. So the logical answer should be, stretch the hip flexors and lower back, and strengthen the posterior chain and abdominals,...

The general consensus is that they are not accurate, but can they measure the change in body fat well? As in, if I start at 18% bf and go down 2% in a certain period of time, even if that first...

Had I added in 'never', it would be the most selected option.

I also do dynamic stretches pre/during my routine and then static after. And Ive been spending 20 mins stretching every other evening...

I am liking these results. I realized I should've added "every day" as a choice.

Im curious as to when you guys like to do your stretching. Ive heard differing reports.

The Almighty Deadlift

Avoiding RC problems is a great argument, so Im with you on that.

"Bro" is a relative term. Going to the gym automatically puts you in that category in the eyes of the average person.

Powerlifting is a sport. Personal fitness is not. Keeping a flat back on the bench is not bad form if you're trying to save yourself some back pain.

That photo does not look like someone at 20%. Go on a SLOW bulk slightly above maintenance. The testosterone pouring through your 15 y.o. self should be enough to pack on some muscle faster than...

I have a long road ahead of me for lean muscle growth. I will be putting an ab routine together which will probably be some kind of weighted crunch, reverse crunches, and planks. I will also be...

This. Eat somewhere around 2000-2400 cal a day of quality food and hit the gym, HARD. There's no other way around it. That's my opinion.

Yes, pullups.

I understand this topic has been beat to death, and yes I mix things up. I am categorizing things and "Its better because it hits the lats better" isn't enough for me. The point...

We've heard it many times

Wide=More Lats=More Width
Narrow=More Delt/Rhomboids/Traps= More thickness

But narrow grip looks like there's more ROM for adduction, which should mean more lat work....

Very nice video. Thanks. I will be definitely applying what I've seen here. I watched it and thought "Ohh, its all in the hips"

and then immediately thought of this

Presses, raises, even curls.

My back gets tweaked and can hurt later from these lifts. I've tried bending the knees to keep stress on the legs. It helps but I'm still hurting. Any suggestions?

You should break 10 pretty soon if youre at 6-8. But if you're shooting for numbers your form can go bad and your bi's will start doing more work than they have to.

Then your back is gonna hate...

When do you start moving your knees on a RDL?

On the exrx page, it begins late in the move, around the point where he's...
