I agree. I think it's better to be safe than sorry. Most people start their workout with compound exercises or go heavy when they're still strong. Warming up properly is essential to help lower the...

Try using an excercise ball or roll a towel underneath your lower back if you're doing crunches on the floor. Does it lesson or eliminate the pain?

I've started doing deadlifts about two weeks ago too. It's great. I still am not sure if I have my form down perfectly though. I got the up motion pretty well, but putting the weight back down seems...

Well, it could be a useful machine to help people get into the idea of working out and gain confidence lifting weights. The same idea behind how many people start on machines in the gym before they...

I would be alright after my shoulder workout. Tired after my chest/tris, exhausted after my back/bi's (w/ DLs), and feel like puking after my lower body workout.

Do you mean they place their thumb in different positions or completely off the bar? I haven't really seen anyone bench with one of their fingers dangling, but I think it is only dangerous if you...

Good old wind sprints are great functional drills.

I may have missed the point but you missed my point. Maybe it's just different personality or level of patience. I can definitely see how it can get annoying, but if it's someone close to me like a...

You must not like your cousins, friends, and classmates :P

But seriously, what's with the attitude? Your cousins and friends are turning to you for advice, take it as a compliment. Everyone wants...

I've always been told to try to push my back against the bench when I'm benching to prevent my back from arching at all as I press the weight. But I've also read articles where a slight arch is...

If you did a working set of bench presses, then immediately moved onto a working set of flyes, wait a minute, and then attempt your second set of bench presses, then that explains why you're weak...

Lat pulldowns are great. They are one of my fav excercises. They may not build mass, but they mainly target your upper lats whereas rows tend to work your mid and lower back more. And if you can do...

I agree that having a small waist is a blessing. I'm actually worried that doing all the back excercises such as deadlifts might make my trunk too thick eventually.

Anyhow, perhaps what you're...

There are always benefits to challenging your body in different ways. Think of a boxer who not only works on his power and hand speed but he also works on his cardiovascular endurance so he can still...

Umm... does he happen to admit to being a guinea pig for supplements? Does he happen to keep taking those supplements? It's not so important how he got to eating healthy but whether he is eating...

Some people consider "light weight" to be a weight that you can lift more than 6-8 times. 20 reps is usually considered high rep. But there's a difference between being able to lift a weight 20 times...

No. Doing cardio after you lift won't make your workout worthless. You might not maximize size, but if you put in the time, you will always benefit. I wouldn't recommend doing cardio after a 2 hour...

Different fitness magazines have different ideas of what an idea body should look like. Obviously, if the target audience is teenagers and early 20s, you'll get a model who has less muscle mass and...

I pick the DBs up, sit down, and place them on my knees, I would relax for a few seconds, then lie down while moving the weights onto my chest (mostly momentum here). Then I press the weight up. I...

I voted it took later. 3 months exactly is pushing it IMO. Another month or two then maybe. I do agree with the whole camera angle and lighting making a huge difference.
