OP: I'm pretty sure these other guys just have no idea what they're talking about. No offense tot he other posters, but to simply say he's lifting too much or to just say "practice flexing harder"...

Nothing works best. It's more a matter of variety. Some programs call for weight constant, others recommend pyramiding. I'd recommend starting out pyramiding, since it will be tough at first to...

It would really depend on what the complex entailed, as well as how those exercises in the complex could affect the next day's workout. I would lean more towards adding complexes into your regular...

Also, you have to use different muscles for the second half..you don't get the help of those big front delts etc like you do raising to the front. But, like Engineer Guy said, it's not a strength...

How easy or difficult it is will greatly depend on who is evaluating you. Make sure you cover all the bases asked for. In addition, be sure to tell your "trainee" as you are going through...

No. Arms don't fully extend.

Like PeterGibbons said, change your stance and you can generally find a position that alleviates most of this.



Not necessarily a problem, but CAN be if the wink causes the back to go past...

Most people (even those with back pain) generally do not have weak low backs. Just because your back hurts or you have a back injury, it doesn't necessarily indicate back weakness at all. Most back...

No. Foam roll the parts you need foam rolled. Depending on the person, it could make you hyper mobile and eff you up.

As far as balance goes, you will never be playing football on a surface anywhere close to that of a bosu ball...unless maybe you run across some fat guy's stomach.

You say you are flexible, but...

Context buddy...think about it. Rippetoe does say a lot of good things, but certain things need to be remembered when transferring his ideas to a bodybuilding workout. If you had taken the time to...

During your set (I'm assuming you are training for bodybuilding rather than powerlifting....BB.com), keep constant tension on the muscles you are focussing on for the lift. Don't lock out. And to...

Yup..

I use the word "explosive" with caution here, as people tend to think that means just flinging up a light weight. How about Controlled Explosiveness? I mean, you should be using a weight...

If you're feeling pain in your back, it is likely because your back is arching (should keep it flat). If you cannot keep it flat, it may just be that your core is not strong enough for this...

Guys, sit back for a minute and think about this. The BB Bench press is primarily a chest exercise. The pec major is the prime mover. Does it hit the triceps? Yes, obviously. Anytime you are...

If I could Neg you right now I would. What an absolutely stupid statement.

OP, I beg you to ignore what he said.

The end.

I know this isn't a diet thread, but felt someone should say this. OP, you are on way too few cals a day my friend. At 6'-8" and 303, you should NOT be at 1700 cals a day. Hell, my fitness model...

Then drop your hips back and don't try to keep your back super upright (I can only assume since there was no video). For your stance, go as wide as you need to to get as deep as possible without...

What does your split look like? You may be benching just fine and have done OH presses too recently in you split (ie. anytime in the 3 or so days before you train chest). If that is the case, your...

Handstand pushups?

If you're trying to think complete opposites here, pullups work your back muscles mostly, so think about what is opposite of that. Hopefully you are now thinking about some...
