I've never done narrow stance leg press or squats before, so maybe only doing wide stance leg work for the past year and a half really has created a muscle imbalance afterall - perhaps my therapist...
I've been having knee problems for a while now, and finally saw a physical therapist the other day. He told me that I've got an overdeveloped vastus medialis, and that it's pulling my knee cap...
Thanks for the replies, guys. I guess it's just my body chemistry, because I've always been like this. The thing that sucks is that I've noticed that if I don't eat a good breakfast (despite having...
I feel like I could eat a horse throughout the rest of the day, but in the mornings, I always feel like I have to force it down - I'm just not hungry at all. Anyone else have this?
I wanted to highlight this section of the article, because I think a lot of people will overlook this very important factor when it comes to building muscle mass. Muscle mass is directly related to...
Because you're supposed to concentrate on your lats as much as possible when doing pullups to get the most out of the exercise. Your biceps will still get worked because of the nature of the...
That's true, I didn't really think about that. If I'm maintaining the same number of reps while becoming heavier, then I am progressing, I guess. I'll be very curious to see what kind of progress I...
Well, I've only been lifting for about a year and a half now, and my bench, deadlift, and squat are no where near what your's are yet, but I can still relate. When I first started, I couldn't do a...
I wanted to get some input from you guys on this one; on "pull day," which is basically a back and biceps day, my routine right now consists of pull-ups, pendlay rows, high rows, and flat bench db...
Weightlifting shoes improve energy transfer by eliminating the squishy platform that sneakers have. This will decrease wasted energy and create a more stable platform to push from, which will in turn...
True enough, but a lot of these articles that I'm referring to are from "fitness experts" and "bodybuilding gurus" on this very internet site, lol. There's just so much misinformation out there, even...
What I find strange is that everything I've read has said that it's bad, yet in the exercise guide on the squat located in this section of the forums, it shows a diagram, and in all variants, the...
Bro, I'm not making excuses - I'm just pointing out the fact that because my legs are long (relative to my overall height), my knees track past my toes no matter how far back I push my hips (in the...
I would if I could, but I don't own a camera/camcorder. The only thing I can say is that I've had a couple of my gym buddies look at my form on more than one occasion, and they both say it looks...
Any recommendations on how to handle the current inflammation/joint pain that won't seem to go away? It's been chronic for the last few months, and I've tried laying off of squats for weeks at a time...
Thanks for the replies, guys. I'd take a video of my form for reference, but I don't have a camcorder or anything like that. I think my form is pretty clean, though (hips back, back rigid, core...
I wanted to get some input from you guys on this, because I've been going back and forth trying to figure out what's the best solution for me. The problem is that I have long legs, and because of...
