It really depends on a person's basic build... people with longer arms have a harder time on bench press because they have to extend their arms down farther. I'm a tall guy with a long reach and when...

Don't forget legs.

Yeah, my volume is higher on pull day - deadlifts, rows, and chinups, plus bicep curls and hammer curls. Throwing shrugs in there would give me 6 pull lifts and 4 push lifts. I'm gonna go with push...

I'm doing a 3 day push/pull/legs routine these days and I have seen decent improvements on my major lifts(bench,squat,deads) in the last 6 weeks, along with fair size gains. My question is, when...

Find a good spotter to go with you, or if you have one already, try to get someone new(friend or classmate) into going with you - sometimes a new person working alongside you in the gym can provide a...

I think it depends on your metabolism and recovery, to an extent... if you recover faster and build muscle easier, you should be in the gym 4-5 days a week. If you are more of a hard gainer, you...

I just changed to the same split that stunna does the other week (except I do push on Wednesday and Pull on friday) after I stopped making good gains on my last program.

On push day, I usually do...

The Wendy's around here lets you "double the beef for 89 cents" on any burger, a friend of mine once did that on a classic triple and got a burger with 6 meat patties in it. He had to eat it with a...

like Scott said, add squats and deadlifts. Even if your gym doesnt have a platform for deadlifting, you can use a smith machine to perform them that way. this isnt as good for you as a real deadlift,...

I used to be doing a 4, then 5 day split but I felt a little overtrained on that, so this week I moved to a more abbreviated 3 day split that looks like this:

monday:
squats
leg press
calves...

I've been going on 4 and 5 day splits for several months now and making decent gains, but I feel like I'm wasting my time screwing around with isolation exercises when a more focused workout centered...

not stretching or warming up before working out. I skipped doing it one time last feb, and tore a tendon in my arm which cost me 3 months of recovery time. ALWAYS warm up!

Thanks for the help - I'm looking around for dextrose or maltodextrin but it's a little hard to find around here. I'll stick with the bananas until I can get my hands on some.

I'm taking a whey shake after workouts with 40+grams of protein and about 2 cups of milk, what else should I be adding in to maximize its effect and provide carbs? Dextrose? Bananas? Any help would...

I was on this workout for 2 weeks until I strained my right forearm. It works well enough(I had already noticed an increase in my strength gains), but it's very dangerous. I think three times a week...

I've been lifting for about 3 months now, and last Friday I sustained a forearm injury. I first noticed it when I went to do standing bicep curls and felt a sharp pain in my outer forearm when I...
