I feel like I must have gotten a bad batch of chocolate mint. It's sweet and tastes minty, but there is no chocolate taste whatsoever. I have been mixing it with chocolate myofusion to fix up the...

I occasionally do a variation with dumbbells/kettle bells. You do a push up, row with each arm, power or hang clean, then shoulder/push press. That's one rep. I'll usually do them for 8-12 reps...

I stand corrected. Thanks for the heads up.

Supplements themselves don't get certified. The manufacturing plant of the company that makes the product (which may not be the company that markets and sells the product) gets certified. To my...

Make sure that your grip is equidistant with both hands. If you're slightly off, this can cause the load to shift to one side or the other. The other culprit could be whether both arms are tucked...

I've always had the most success by upping the weight I'm using. Once I can get to 5-8 good, unassisted reps, I'll usually add some weight and see how many I can get.

With compound exercises, I...

I'm not sure what your current split is, but I had a 5 day split (chest, back, legs, arms, shoulders, not necessarily that order) until I noticed some parts lagging. Now, whenever a part is lagging...

I also like to use straps on my heavier sets of rows. It allows me to use a thumbless (thumbs on the same side of the bar as the rest of my fingers) grip which helps me focus on pulling with my back...

This is a great start, but you should also define smaller, easily achievable goals. Losing 70 pounds in 10 months is doable, but it's hard to really stay motivated when that goal is so large and far...

I'm about the same as dcflex. I usually hit abs a couple times a month. I also tend to use more weighted exercises rather than sets of 50 crunches.

I second this. It was a bit of a learning curve and it's best to learn with lighter weights. Keeping the weights close to the body is key. When they get wide, they're harder to control and you...

Got a new one this morning. Guy doing good mornings. Had the bar up on his neck. Not his upper traps, his neck (just below his skull). To make matters worse, he went down so far that it looked...

I don't know if anyone at my gym caught this when it happened, but I certainly wasn't proud of myself. I was doing pullups in the power rack, feeling really great. I was feeling so great that I was...

I have had a doctor mention to me that this should definitely be a concern. Gyms and dorm rooms are breeding grounds for bacteria and the like. However, the below suggestions can help mitigate the...

I have always believed that most of the trainers at my gym are mediocre at best since whenever I see them with clients, the clients typically use poor form and are not corrected by the trainers. ...

I change up my arms workout all the time and rotate in all sorts of exercises, pretty much whatever I'm in the mood for/how I feel like hitting the arms that day.

Personally, I like to pyramid up...

I hit abs once a week or every other week.

It does sound like the muscle is cramping up a bit. I'd try loosening your grip, drinking plenty of water before and during your workout (and in general), and perhaps taking a multivitamin or...

A few years back I tried this stack when I got a good deal on the 15 day combo. I was less than impressed with them as a group, but I also feel like 2-3 weeks really wasn't enough time to gauge the...

I've done both without a problem. Even thrown powders in plastic bags and packed them that way. Thus far I haven't had any problems, but I wouldn't get too upset if they had me toss anything. If...
