Yep, it never kicks in because it doesn't work. SHHH, don't tell anyone. Oh, and "pumps" do nothing for size/strength.

Rack Dead Lift- This is a standard dead lift performed off pins in a power rack. The pins can be set anywhere from an inch off the ground all the way up to lower thigh height. The higher you set the...

I'm going to print out 20 of these and keep them in my gym bag to give to personal trainers who try and critique me.

Wow, I'm sure you read all of Alwyn Cosgrove's complex article on going past parallel and the only thing that piqued your interest was my last sentence. Good to go.

Two totally separate issues. ...

I do a three day, full body split (most 3 day splits are full body or upper/lower/upper...lower/upper/lower).

I use undulating periodization...so my reps/sets can switch from day to day or from...

Myths:

"When squatting, don't go below parallel."


Real-World Response

It needs to be pounded into people's heads that going 'parallel' creates a powerful shearing force on your knees...as opposed to going lower than parallel where your hips start taking the load more. ...

Squat 'til you can't go any lower...when your ass hits your calves (if mobility allows).

There's a better way to do the 'sit down' squat. It's called a box squat and it works your posterior chain...

Work on those traps man.

Chalk helps diminish calluses for me. But only on heavy deads/pull ups.

Sitting or standing, they are both military presses. Standing is better as it totally works your entire core, having to stabilize your body for the lift. Your legs should be straight but not locked...

I'm on Lipo6X and lifting pretty heavy. I'm gaining about 2 lbs a month for the last 2 months on Lipo. So I'd say it's doing its job. My abs are staying visible and my measurements are going up so...

Even though you're not following a regimented diet plan your fat loss might tie in to this....even though you are doing it unknowingly.

Here's an excerpt from the article:

I like it. If you're clean bulking, 3 tablespoons a day = 400 Cal. When I mix it with oats/protien shakes I can't taste it.

1. Full House = No visible muscle definition.
Bodyfat level = over 20%.

2. Hard = Some muscle separation appears between delts and upper arm. Abs are still not...

I haven't pulled up any articles, I'll leave that to you. But to target the REALLY hard to get fat, the stuff that gets your BF% as low as it can go I go with 1) Carb Cycling and 2) HIIT. Search...

The only thing truly wrong w/ your workout is you have two heavy spinal loading exercises back to back. I'd never do deads after heavy squats. My lower back would be too shot to keep good form on...

First of all, in the 'skinny' picture...your shirt. Are you joining the Marines?

Now to beat a dead horse:
And regarding the arms, I'm almost 6'3" and it takes alot of gaining for mass to show...

Yeah, you're right. I guess I do shrug before I 'jump'. Couldn't jump in a hang position anyway, so I guess I jump after I stand straight up after the shrug.

And I'm not sure whether it's a good...
