Hi guys, I want to do boxing next week intensively for the next month or so, as I finish my exam, I want something to aim for.
I want to be in an amateur match next year or so.

anyway, what...

Hi guys, I am doing my program on starting strength,

keeping it simple, basically I do Press, Bench (Both dumbbell), Squats and Deadlifts every time I go to gym.

what I do is aim for 5x5 for a...

thanks all, will look at the flexibility issue.

lean further forward? as in your upper body

I just did the same switch this week too!!! :D

anyway, I do the dumbell weight x2 (so the total weight of dumbbell you bench, so 65kg for you, remember including the bar weight)
and maybe 25%...

Hi guys, I have been going to gym for 2 years, and never did a bench press. (well maybe twice)

now I am deciding to ditch my DB bench press and do a BB one, since it is impossible to add on 10lbs...

do some cardio program like 'insanity', with the diet they recommend.

so you think you are too chubby and you want to become more lean?
or the other way round?

you didn't mention it in your article/

anyway, Carlorie deficit=slimmer, surplus = bigger

I'd...

thanks both, very good point/
but with those split (3x5 full body program) is it not advisable to do 3x5 without squats?

I really like those 3x5, since I can go nearly all-out with the sets, and...

well squats to start with

okay, I know that you are not supposed to **** with the program,
but due to me recovering from an ACL injury, I cannot do heavy squats, and deadlift, as I might tear the ACL again.

as I am doing...

when I hold, should I do a 'chin over bar' hold, or a hold of half curled arm? (like in the middle of a chinup/pullup) or even a straight arm?

with my negatives, will you recommend my grip to be a wide one (like lat pull down) or a palm towards or a palm outwards grip?

also, how many sec. should be the negative be?
I am planning to do...

since I had a knee surgery, I have not been doing deadlift at full capacity (I am afraid I might get injured)

for lat pull downs, it is not very high the setting is 7, with 20 or 25 being maximum....

I have been following some beginner's programe for quite a while, and I have some great stregth gain, but still not able to do a pull up. (maybe I have not done much back work ever)

My goal is to do 3x5 pull up, but I am still a long way to go, as I can't even do a full one.

So what excercises should I do to build up to that pull up?

My back and bicep day include

BB...

so how shoul I work my way up?

Chin-up> hammer grip>pull-up?

Hi guys,
I am trying to add pull up into my workout,

There is a pull up/dips station in the gym,
I am able to do 3 pull ups at most with a straight bar,

so I am asking, which is the easiest...

I have been on and off my bulking diet for a while, mainly due to not able to get food easily in a boarding school.

anyway, it is summer, so I reckon I should start my plan now.

I am on a clean...

ones that work a few muscle parts

e.g. Bench press/ dumbbell press/ Dips/ Pull ups etc.
the opposite are biceps curls or tricep cable extension
