I used to stall on barbell rows more than any other exercise as well. I think it's my body shape. What rep/set range do you use and how do you add weight?

Try Pendley rows and you should continue...

I'm currently trying a sets across 5x5 program before going to back to ramping sets once I plateau.

I've made good progress and have gone from 35kg (77lbs) 5x5 to 40kg (88lbs) 5x5 on the DB bench....

Def see your point - I've been using 5x5 ramping weights on and off for over 2 years.

But I'm plateauing now and want to experiment with a different type of 5x5. I feel like the first 2 sets of a...

Goals: strength and size
Current 1RM: Bench 250, Squat 315, DL 450

Day 1
5x5 Squat
5x5 DB flat bench
5x5 BB Row
3x10 Weighted situps

Day 2

Basically with my new job (lots of on-call, night work etc) I can only make the gym around every 5-7 days. In the past I've always trained 3x/week: programs like 5x5, HST. My goals are a mix of...

I was going to post this exact same question.

Every now and then when I push the weight up on squats (low bar, below parallel) I get a pain on the front on my leg near the groin.

Not sure whether its the top of my quad or hip adductors but...

Started WSFSB and using dumbbell holds for grip strength.

I'm using 40Kg (88lb) DBs for 3 sets until failure. I can do about 1 min for the first set, then 30s then 20s.

Should I increase or...

Lose a bit of weight and 'tone'. She now accepts that 'toning' simply means muscle mass in the presence of lower body fat, which explains the new interest in free weights, rather than endless reps on...

I've been making sure she can do the basics lifts with good form: squats, DL, SLDL, rows, DB bench, DB press

But I'm not sure what kind of program she should start with, given she's only ever...

You've missed the point

Well the person with the higher 1RM is doing 2x the volume which will be relatively more fatiguing even though they are obvously twice as strong

So I'd say that it's harder for a stronger person...

Not sure why there are so many people getting so indignant about this when they clearly know nothing about the Queen or her finances.

Her income isn't a personal salary and the cost to the...

1.) Squat
2.) Flat BB Bench alternating with incline BB bench
3.) SLDL alternating with Goodmornings
4.) Seated BTN shoulder press
5.) EZ bar curls alternating pronated and supinated
6.) BB rows...

In that case then you're deadlifting too much per week (ie 5x5 x3), especially as you're knee is fecked. Perhaps drop to 3x5, or just dl 2x a week

Also substitute skulls in workout A for weighted...

anyone else?

How much weight did you manage to add, over what time period, with how many sets per week?

Some bars have more serration than others

I don't see a program, just a list of exercises. Is that 4 separate workouts?

Deadlift?
Squats?

Are you ramping weights through 5 sets or keeping the same?

Too much volume I'd say unless you're ramping. Also 5x5 works best with compounds, all those skulls may be pushing it
