Sprints are never a bad idea.

Try wrapping in athletic tape, if you like the results by some wrist wraps.

(Not responsible for any damage done to you, your wrists, or your wrist hairs.)

Try cleans. Somewhat similar motion (during part of the lift) and safer. They also work more muscles AND you'll recieve crazy looks in the gym from everyone else.

What do you want?

How do you get it?

Imo, it would be a hell of a lot easier to be too much like a bodybuilder and slack off on training/dieting down the road, then it would be to...

I used to neglect my back a lot when I started getting into lifting (meaning when I started teaching myself how to lift, and see gains from it. Not just jumping on a few machines after some cardio)....

After veiwng that exrx link, and trying to stop it on the right frame using the scroll wheel, I still am a bit confused on the lockout.


I always lock out my hips at the same time as my knees.

Just got a small setup from sears. They have an online shop as well, but I think they may just be able to make orders deliverable to sears stores only (not sure).

But they have a 7 foot olympic...

Remember that muscles only contract. If the negative of the exercise (the easy part, lowering the weight against gravity) is one muscles movement it doesn't mean that you will be stimulating that...

Despite agreeing with you nearly entirely, I still have to add my 2 cents.

Compound movements are good for 2 things in my mind: The muscles being targetted, and everything else.

The good is...

First and foremost: There is one person you need to compare yourself to in the gym, and he's always in the locker room, on the other side of the sink. You'll never see him anywhere else, I promise.

He's big upper body, but does he have legs?

Machine laterals are a candy ass lift. I know I reccomend them, but by no means should that be the bulk of your shoulder work. As with all isolation exervcises, it's just the icing on the cake. Do...

anterior and medial mainly, think of it from a mechanical standpoint. The body recruits muscles to best accomplish the task. It makes to since to recruit a lot of rear delt fibers to military press a...

The key to growth is different from body type to body type, and person to person.

For me, the key to growth is consistent, intense training. If I workout everyday, I grow surely, almost despite...

Push heaviest weights 12 times.

Replace them with bed/couch rest and maybe (if you're hardcore enough) a trip to a doctor.

Last time this thread was posted, someone had a very good (quoted) explanation.


The point of that explanation was that the movement (mainly the way you position your arm) places a ligament in a...

Yes it will work, but (from a bodybuilding standpoint) is it worth doing over more intense methods? No.

Stand up, clean the weight, sit down and proceed with the exercise.


Other than that you'll probably need a spotter, or figure out how to get a seat in the rack. Does your gym have a box for box...
