    Just do your benching inside a squat rack so that you can set the safety pins just above chest level, and thus eliminating the chance that the bar might come crashing down on you.

    In the majority of your reps, the weight is not over the middle of your foot. To achieve this, you need either to sit back farther, place your feet wider, stick your knees out more, or a combination...

    Sticky: Pendlay Rows

    Does anyone else have issues hitting their shins with the bar when doing Pendlay rows? I find that my form is best and I can move more weight when the bar is over the middle of my foot, but this...

    Are you gaining weight? I'm bulking (gaining 1/2 lb per week) at 3500 cal per day and I'm only 6'-1", 180lbs. Sounds like your calories might be too low.

    I've had this issue a couple of times. Mine felt like a massive kink in my upper back/lower part of neck. I have found that rolling a lacrosse ball on the area helps immensely. Try standing against a...

    I take a week off every 3 months or so. I love the mental break that it provides and I always come back stronger. I think that time off from weights is important and often overlooked by many lifters

    Dude, Jason looks way better than you do. You're clearly delusional if you think that your body composition is similar to his. Just look at your pic next to his. He has delt definition and you do...

    I find heavy bulgarian split squats to be a brutal exercise. Every time I do them, all parts of my legs hurt for days. I don't agree that they're harder than heavy front or back squats, but I...

    Nice job! I'm in the same boat as you. Haven't been able to do much squatting or dl'ing over the past several month due to low back pain caused by APT. Started doing barbell glute bridges a few...

    You're not supposed to be holding the bar at all on front squats. You carry the load on your front delts, with your elbows held high in the air, and use your hands to merely to keep the bar from...

    Back squat. You could also try barbell glute bridges, and/or Bulgarian split squats. I find BSS hammer my glutes way harder than back squats.

    Nice job man! I've been using barbell glute bridges as a means to correct my APT. Is there any advantage to using hip thrusters over glute bridges? Or do they accomplish the same things?

    You can do all of the crunches in the world, but if your diet isn't on point, then you'll never have a toned stomach. You must reduce body fat to see your ab definition. Reduce daily calories and do...

    Agreed with above posts. Also, you're not going to be building muscle if you're cutting. You've probably shed some fat and exposed the muscle the you already had, but haven't actually added new...

    You are over-thinking this way too much. Gaining muscle is not as complex as you're making it out to be. Just focus on eating a caloric surplus and following a program where you are progressing in...

    When I set up, I make sure the bar is about 1" from my shins, and then I bend over to reach the bar. So you're saying that I should position the bar farther from my shins, bend at the knees until I...
