    There is a point where people can be focusing so much on attaining 'perfect' form that they don't get decent enough workload though.

    About compression: does it help to reduce/prevent chafing when running and stuff? This is bad enough for me when dry but when I begin to sweat it worsens.

    I know the Workout Equipment section's usually about the stuff you actually use to exercise with directly, but this is about accessories.

    I'd like to know if anybody uses this stuff. I bring a...

    All variations strengthen the erectors by preventing spine flexion.

    While the abs engage somewhat as stabilizers, I think if anyone is getting an ab workout from a good morning, the RA's probably...

    Are you talking about laying prone (chest down) and hyperextending your neck to look up, or laying supine (chest up)?

    Tying them together just for doing rows is fine, but that won't work well with iso moves like curls because the rope would rotate around and probably fray over time.

    Charts suck, rep numbers are pointless info without knowing the tempo and fiber disposition of a muscle.

    Even with high reps if people are doing them with decent reps they'll get bigger.

    This is something you can find out by experimenting. Since you're able to do 18 wide-grip pullups, try adding 5lbs and seeing how many you can do. Is it more than 10? Add another 5lbs. etc.

    Pushups usually involve ~90 degree hyperextension of the wrist joint. While it's nice to be able to do those comfortably, I don't see why someone needs that flexibility to do curls. Shouldn't the...

    Um, if you're trying to rehab a hip flexor, shouldn't you be doing knee raises?

    So that you can get a decent stretch and remove the balancing component, stand on a stair, hold a railing (or lean...

    It doesn't work that way. Stabilizing 2 objects is more difficult than 1. Your dumbbell press will probably be less.

    On the other hand, if you can press 2 50lb dumbbells, you could probably handle...

    This move doesn't look like it stretches the hip flexors, because it brings the hips into flexion.

    Moves like lunges stretch the hip flexors in the rear leg though.

    I'd thought that the long head was neglected in those since you need to bring the arm up to stretch it properly.

    As for medial/lateral, they're both elbow extensors that cross a single joint. If...

    Yes, there is a way, and it's the truth.

    The difference isn't the muscles used, it's moreso the % balance they're used...

    You don't necessarily get that in all cable moves, nor do freeweight exercises lose tension. This depends completely on the angle of the movement compared to the angle of the resistance.

    True that.
