why do you say it's coming from your forearm? perhaps post a video

I suppose we will just have to agree to disagree on this matter, appreciate the lively debate.

Do you truly think reading my little blurb is going to make the difference between passing/failing? I would hardly consider what I provided a shortcut. I simply provided an overall layout of how the...

This stretch is to improve thoracic spine mobility, a very common limitation amongst people. In terms of the stretch you feel, you're probably feeling a triceps stretch. Not a bad thing, but not the...

Muscles operate in an optimal length-tension relationship. If a muscle is too long (such as in a stretch) or too short (like trying to flex your elbow with your arms overhead) it wont be able to...

1. I'm not sensing a hyperlordosis, it looks fine to me as long as it's not causing pain. You're supposed to have a lordosis in your lumbar spine
2. Bracing will help with low back, keep it up
3....

Rest breaks are even more important if you're just starting out. Give it a rest for a coupe days , try training other muscle groups to balance everything out

Straight Arm Dumbbell Pullover. I know it says it's a chest exercise, but lats are also significantly involved.

bb.com has some beginner programs. Starting Strength is one that comes to mind. Just search the website and look for one tailored to your goals.

For what purpose are you doing this?

are you performing them every day? If so, give your body 1-2 days of recovery time before doing pushups again. You need rest time to repair muscle tissue

Not very important. This exercises places a lot of stress on the shoulder joint because of the position it puts your arms are in. The other exercises you are doing work the deltoids in the same manner

Because I care about helping others succeed. It's an expensive test, so if I can help even at least 1 other person pass with this information, I would be happy.

I would let them protract. Part of the purpose is to be able to concentrically contract the muscles that retract your scapula. If you keep them retracted the whole time, it's basically an isometric...

Looks good chief! I did notice the hips come up early, not very often though, and not an extent to where I'd be worried about it. Everything else looked good, nice job!

I took my CSCS test yesterday, and passed (woohoo!). I wanted to share how I thought it went, and the kind of material on it, so I can help others who want to take the test. I tried to find other...

I would not say it's a failed theory. I just believe RDLs aren't the best way to fix an APT. A lot of it is contingent on form, I'm worried about the loaded barbell causing excess lordosis,...

You need to find a program specifically tailored towards hypertrophy. This will optimize the amount of muscle you build.

Its not a perfect system. As you alluded to, it does not take into account intensity. Just an objective way to look at overall volume performed

The chest pump you feel and see after pushups is temporary and does not last. Just an accumulation of blood going into the muscle making it look swole. Takes weeks before you will start to build...
