Macbook Pro 2015, bought in the year of release and nothing has gone wrong with it in 7 years.
Braun Series 7 shaver, working fine for 10 years.

I used Body Solid's squat/calf block for a while. It's sturdy and non-slip but it's one block rather than solos that you can angle to match the rotation of your feet. Ultimately I went with...

Thanks for testing and for the photos!

If you reverse the medium and narrow supinated bars how close to the pronated versions do they feel?

I use the 'Amazon Basics' backpack and have put 25kg of plates in it. It hasn't broken. It slides down to the lower back when you stand up so I reposition it when I'm in the push up position. I...

When you could max out the Powertec compact leg sled how much could you squat? I'm trying to figure out if I would have the same problem. Thanks.

I recently bought the Hyper Core from Valley Fitness in the UK. I bought all my other Iron Master products from them and they gave me excellent service. As with the Iron Master Super Bench and all...

Strictly. Risk of back injury is not worth the reward, if any. I think most people with herniated discs or other painful back injuries would agree.

Review the linked article, http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/training/benching-with-the-pecs.html

Review your technique to ensure you are applying pressure through the ball of your foot and not rising up on your toes. Your metatarsal break should be aligned with the step. See the YouTube video...

Another option to consider is to exercise one calf at a time with a dumbbell, barbell, dip belt or leg press. This would obviously require far less weight and resolve the pain and bruising issue.

I have 1-Ton Power Hooks which I use to do completely hands-free pulldowns and rows. I tried the Isolator but it was too fidgety for me and I couldn't get full ROM on all exercises.

Supersetting each set of chin ups with curls is not a good idea. Your biceps fatigue from the first set of curls will render useless subsequent sets of chin ups as a back exercise. Supersetting...

Jon,

My initial thoughts are that if you are doing an upper/lower split you should keep exercises in their appropriate days. So rear delt and trap exercises should not be in the lower body day as...

You could put an exercise for an unrelated muscle between incline and flat bench presses. This would allow you to recover some strength.

IMO dumbbell squats are not as effective as barbell squats. You are limited in how much you can lift not because of leg strength but due to the awkwardness of the exercise. Perhaps use a hack squat...
