There are several advantages to dropsets. Some say they would rather wait and do another heavy set.
But if you continuousluy are doing 3 sets of 10 with the same weight, you are not progressing. The...

They are on backwards; good eyes. Also its usually best to buy the plates locally to save on shipping.

Nice cheap adjutable dumbells with spinlock collars work fine. They are cheaper than the bowflex or other expensive things and you can increase in smaller increments of weight also.
If you get...

Its possible the brachialis is being worked a bit and it seems to be the triceps area, or it could be the rear delts which are in that area too.
The only real way the triceps works on pullups is as...

Looks good to me, you are wise to go with spinlocks versus other types of adjustable dumbells. Have the collar come off just once and plates crash on your toe and you learn.
Its best to get one with...

If you are doing to do three different exercises then I would pick exercises a bit more different.


Something to work supination function of biceps hard with bend arm
Lowering or holding...

5 pounds a week is too much to ask of yourself on bench over a long period of time, let alone 2.5 pounds a workout three times a week.
Five pounds a week would be 250 pounds a year increase that...

Consistant form and increasing weight bit by bit is the way to go.
If you cheat just focus on progressing on cheat reps, if you are strict focus on progressing with the same form on strict reps. You...

Some think forearms will be worked enough with compound movements. Some also think hammer curls/reverse curls and wrist curls are all you need.
If maximizing forearm size is your goal you can do...

It is true that pushups are at a slightly different angle for pushing than bench. Also they are open handed versus having to press holding a bar. But really to know the weights you are using on...

I would suggest some metal adjustable ones. I got some years back from home depot for $20 each weight tested for 1200 pounds each. Dropping a weight from a great distance upward can break a power...

No one here can really do a doctors diagnosis from just a few pargraphs of text.
Also can't be sure if its shoulder, triceps, biceps or some other muscle that is the culprit.
Would be helpful if...

You can do front squats, overhead squats, or one legged squats. You don't have to just do back squats.

Thick bar one arm barbell curls I kind of like. To make them harder start adding weight only on one side to work the supination function of the biceps more. Add weight to the other side to work the...

Would have to see you lift to be sure but could be a wrist flexiblity issue or some way your body has figured out of favoring your dominant arm. It also could be the way your body is most comfortable...

You don't have to join a gym to get heavy weights. Just get a 300 pound Olympic set for $100 to $200 on sale at a sporting good store and some longer spinlock bars and you are good to go. On curls...

Overhead squats do not really work the lower traps, the weight pushes down, you shrug upward with upper traps to maintain shoulder position.
To work the lower traps you need the traps to pull down...

Diesel.Weasel you have some inspirational lifts. I have to ask why the clean and front squat in the rain with the board though? Was the garage full? Going to work out one way or the other rain or...

I would suggest two alternating deadlift variations. Pinch grip and wrist work are not that specific to supporting grip on deadlift.
One day you can do your normal mixed grip, the other double...

You bent your arm in to change the distance you have to apply force over. This makes it easier. its a natural tendency as you struggle with a heavy weight.
