Near the middle of February 2016, I started feeling some pain on the front of my left deltoid whenever I did shoulder presses or bench presses. I try and make sure to use proper form with every lift....

I know that for a proper diagnosis, I need to see my doctor and they will refer me to ortho if they feel it is necessary. Having said that...

My left shoulder, especially the front/top deltoid,...

The research that I have found suggests that the TB version of both the squat (it's actually a squat-lift) and the RDL are safer as far as sheering forces on your spine. If you do both versions with...

I prefer to use the trap bar instead of a barbell for squats and deadlifts (I can actually lift more weight, and it is more comfortable). I understand that a traditional TB squat is more quad...

Anyone familiar with Matrix Fitness equipment? In particular, their Magnum supine plate loaded bench press machine...

I am trying to find out how much weight you actually press with that machine....

I am going to try an A/B split over 4 days that is upper/lower in design. I am beyond the SS or SL 5x5 program. I am also 41, so part of my selection is to be nicer to some of my joints that have...

I have incorporated the big compound moves (bench press, military press, barbell rows) into my workout, but in an effort to save my back, knees and other joints I prefer the trap bar for squats and...

I have been reading a lot about the various 5x5 workouts for building up strength before you start training for mass. Most call for a three day split, with an A and B rotation. At the age of 41, my...

I am well aware that I am not going to look like Arnold just because I am lifting at the gym. I have always laughed at the body building articles in magazines that tell you to do Ronnie Coleman's...

I am 41, so not a spring chicken that can just blast my body like I did when I was 21. I used to lift all the time, but took several years off, especially after the age of 33. I am getting back into...

The trap bar deadlift has been proven via medical science to be safer than a traditional deadlift, as well as allowing the use of higher weights without undue pressure on the lower spine. It helps to...

For a variety of reasons...

1. I am not trying to look like a pro bodybuilder.
2. I have to walk several flights of stairs multiple times per day at work.
3. As a heavy metal drummer, I burn my...

Let me also add that the only supplements I take are protein shakes and creatine. I have tried several but the brand that I like best is Optimum Nutrition. I get the double rich chocolate ****** and...

At the age of 41, I have found a program that I like that gets me back into weight lifting. Years ago I worked out all the time, but took several years off for a variety of reasons that I won't bore...

Thanks for the reply and you bring up some good points. For starters, I am 41 and my body is probably going to need more than just 2-3 days to recover, at least initially. I may do a 4 day...

Because of events happening in my life, I absolutely can't get to the gym on Sat or Sun. That leaves me with Mon-Fri for my workouts. I was going to start a 6 day program, but I am having to alter...

Greetings all! Just joined the website and I am looking for a critique on a program that I have put together. I am a 41 year old male with a mesomorph body (5'8", 180lbs currently), though I have...
