I got straight A's only once, and it was in my very last quarter in college. Ended college on a high note :)

Wider shoulders usually means working the medial delts - I like presses, wide-grip upright rows, and side laterals

Traps: shrugs, power shrugs, deadlifts

Rear delt rows http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/DeltoidPosterior/BBRearDeltRow.html

If your hamstrings aren't flexible enough to do the BB version, the cable variation is great too.

OP, does your gym have a rack for pre-set barbells? Kinda like this:

If so, you can remove the barbells from one side and rack the olympic...

In on epic thread (Yes read all 17 pages)

oh and in b4 clive

You also have to consider your body fat %. A 6'3" 200 lbs guy with 20% bf will probably have a much harder time benching 300 lbs than a 6'3" 200 lbs guy with 8% bf, since the latter would have more...

If you haven't taken a week off from lifting in a while, do so. I usually take a week off every 6 or so weeks.

I remember reading a post somewhere on this site that pain radiating to the legs is indicative of a nerve being pinched. I'm not a doctor or anything, so this obviously could be totally wrong. But...

I pulled my lower back doing a warmup set for deads 6 days ago. I wasn't concentrating, causing my form to lapse. For the first 2-3 days it hurt to bend, get up from a seated position, etc. Days 4-5...

Similar thing happened to me 3-4 days ago, except it happened during a warmup set. I've been told to ice my lower back 20 on/20 off. Warm compress only if there is no swelling/inflammation. I also...

Probably. Like I said I was 'going through the motions' doing the warmup set and my mind wasn't fully on what I was doing. When the pain struck, I was on my way up from the ground, and I remember I...

You must've tweaked it worse than me, since the pain for me isn't too bad (and I have very low pain tolerance...just ask my dentist lol). I can get up and move around, but I need to hold on to...

Thanks for the replies all.



Yeah I'm planning on no weights or cardio til next Thursday (I hurt my back last Wednesday). If anyone thinks doing cardio would be ok, let me know otherwise I'll...

I hurt my back doing a warmup set for deadlifts yesterday. The pain is tolerable, constant pain in the lower back area regardless of whether I'm sitting or standing.

This is the first time I hurt...

I like doing cardio right after I wake up, fasted-state. If it's a workout day, I'll shower and eat after cardio, wait an hour after eating and then go lift.

deadlifts (and its variations)
hack squats
power cleans
obviously the leg press
leg press calf raises
bent-over rows
upright rows
overhead presses
skullcrushers
curls (regular, close, wide,...

I do 5 mins on the bike, then 10 reps with just the bar, stretching, then 1-2 warm up sets with weight

deads + pullups + rows + food + sleep = nice back

Congrats brah!

oh and in for generosity :)
