    It's a failure based program. Pick a weight that you feel is likely appropriate to reach form failure within the prescribed rep range. If you pick a weight for the first set where you can go over...

    Are your other lifts currently experiencing increases? If so, you may just simply want to increase your DL volume by about double. For instance, you're doing 72 repetitions per two week period on...

    Well, you listed your weight around 170 and it sounds like you probably have a reasonably lower level of body fat %. The simple question is are you eating in the 2800-3200 calorie range every single...

    It's not good, but I didn't see anything glaringly obvious that's going to cause an injury right away either (not at light weights anyway). You'll start having issues with higher weights because...

    If you're really wanting to get back into squatting and deadlifting you could always just start doing it 3x a week and start way lighter than you're capable of and quickly work your weight up over a...

    I hit legs 3x a week ....and limit sets to 6 total heavy working sets usually (85% of my max or higher and 3-5 rep range) and I usually do 3-5 moderate weight/rep warmup sets throughout. I...

    If you're truly 5'10" and around 140 like your stats show, then you don't need much in the form of volume to stimulate optimal growth. You really just need to hit the big money compound movements...

    Pick a good beginner routine and follow it the way it's meant to be (ie. AllPro's, Starting Strength, Stronglifts, etc.).....that means very heavy after the initial "break-in" period and constant...

    Form doesn't look bad, other than the aforementioned hyperextending. You do want to push the hips forward into the bar at the top, but not in nearly such an exaggerated fashion to cause...

    It sounds like it's highly likely that you're having form troubles. As was said, you should probably do a form check video so you get suggestions. One thing I will say though, is that it's not...

    Ditch the pad if you've been using it. Make sure you're using a narrow grip on the bar and really pinch your arms back to create a bit of a shelf for the bar to rest on so that isn't sitting on your...

    Don't listen to the guy above, that's good progress. You were the skinny-fat type before and your overall actual size probably didn't change much, but you definitely see a difference in the...

    "Only" 10kg? You realize that's basically warp speed for a 3 month period, right? You really can't expect better than that, and if you do then you're going to end up disappointed at some point. ...

    Also, that program doesn't appear very good to me. It looks similar to a full body 3x a week split.....so if that's what you want, then whatever.

    Like was said, 15 lb. dumbbells aren't much of anything for a large majority of exercises. I'm sure you could improvise on some things and get creative using household items for more resistance, but...

    I generally aim for somewhere in the 16-24 working sets range for larger body parts and 12 to 18 for biceps/triceps since they're worked on chest/back days obviously....I go by mostly how I feel. ...

    Basically what was said above, if you feel good about where you're currently at and want to get bigger, then bulk. If you want to cut a little more before bulking, then cut. You look fine as far as...

    How certain are you that your 42% BF listing in your profile is correct? Who measured it and how was it done? If it's correct, then the calories you're eating are definitely a bit low since you'd...
