I just had 2 strips of bacon on a 10" steak sandwich, with mushrooms, sweet peppers, and bbq sauce. was good, damn good.


I don't eat a lot of it, but I enjoy it if I can fit it in my macros. But...

Do your shoulders grow easier compared to your other body parts?

as far as the leg extensions I stay away from those. I used to defend them as a movement but I've had far less knee issues w/o doing them than with doing them.

aside from exercises, knee issues...

Possibly weighted Step ups?

IMO, they may not be as good walking lunges though.

Take a set to fail (or very near fail), drop the weight down and take that to fail (or very near fail), and so forth. There is no break between sets, it's just 1 long set used to go beyond your...

I've never been to any Gold's Gym that had literally no barbells in the freeweights area.
There are usually barbells over by the power racks. I've never been to a Gold's that didn't have at the very...

260 / 60 = 4.3333

So you're saying your heart is beating over 4 times per second......

elbow flare (for me) usually leads to me using more shoulders at an awkward angle. it's not good form.

when I first started lifting I did things this way, and as I started going heavier I ended...

can't comment on the knee thing because I cant tell if it's low bar or high bar. if you're doing high bar knees coming past toes is fine.

but....get some flat shoes or squat shoes. running shoes...

Nowadays my workouts are much shorter but much more effective.

I typically break my workouts down into main lifts (Priority 1) and accessory lifts (Priority 2) on any given day.
i.e.,
Main...

buy a cheaper belt like a Valeo with the velcro.

i have a Valeo and an Inzer. I use the Valeo most of the time because of what you described....getting bruises around my hip flexors and under my...

Likely yes.
Likely your body needs to re-adjust to the movement pattern. Once you get the technique down again, the weight should come up.

Same here. Depending on the gym I'm at sometimes I do wide stance machine hack squats after my freeweight work. These are great for the teardrops, IMO.

depends on the move I'm doing and why.

For some moves getting that total stretch of the movement are what builds best (i.e., BB/DB Rows, Squats, Incline DB Bench, etc). On the other hand it's...

I've been subbing in CGBP when I don't feel like doing dips.



Are you doing that retarded super close grip width CGBP? That can be hard on your wrists.

Close grip for me is only about 3-4...

do what you wanna do who cares what someone else thinks.

i wear gloves because i want to. don't care who does or doesn't. they aren't lifting the weights for me so screw their opinion on stuff...

Inclines + Declines (even Incline + Dips) are an effective combination and in my opinion negate the need to do flat.

Just go what you feel you can make the most progress with.

If your goal is to be athletic, I'd suggest you primarily train in a manner that focuses on movement patterns

i.e.,
-front/back squatting, overhead pressing, deadlifting, etc
-HIIT cardio using...

If you're goal is to build an aesthetic and balanced physique, I'd do compounds and isolations.

A couple of isolation sets here and there a session can help.

One hand washes the other.

That part (Rhomboid/Lower Trap area) gets very tight from all of the rowing I do and I've pulled one side (right side) of it twice. Not unbearable pain, but I know that I can't do much in terms of...
