It's going to be different for everyone. They don't have to be exactly equal, but if you're benching 300lbs and rowing 150lbs then I would say you have an imbalance. I don't know what a "good" range...

Did you trying carrying the bar lower, on the shoulders? They also make pads for the bar as well. I have never really had problems with pain from the bar on my shoulders but I know some people are...

Monday was the first back in the gym. I took it pretty easy i think. There was stilla a little tenderness but the good doctor said that was to be expected. I also figured i wasnt going to be doing...

Im still pretty bummed about getting hurt yesterday. My chest doesnt feel that bad today but there is still some swelling and some minor discomfort but thats to be expected. Im really hoping that...

I was warming up on flat bench. I had only gotten up to 255 going to 280 as my heavy set. I got 2 or 3 reps with 255 and i felt a sharp discomfort in my left chest near the armpit. I stopped lifting...

So after using several different methods, all yielding similar results, my base caloric need is about 3,000 calories. I need around 3,500 calories to gain weight. (theoretically) My target breakdown...

I have given changes in diet more than enough time for my body to adjust. I believe there's more to it than diet and lack of carbs. I sit in the cafeteria and eat four plates of food before class,...
