W8 your son is adorable.

Whether or not the DB touches the shoulder also depends on the size and type of the dumbbell, as well as whether not you bend your wrist inwards at the top of the motion (as in thumb rotating towards...

I'd like to just mention that gymnasts' legs are very powerful. They're certainly not large but they're explosive.

Honestly, doing slightly wide-grip pullups CRUSHES my biceps. Just keeping my elbows pulling down in a fairly straight line is really taxing.

A lot of times you'll see boxers almost running in place, only obviously not bringing their feet up very high at all, just enough to let the rope pass.

For wide grip pullups I simply use a few inches wider than shoulder width.

I wouldn't recommend bulking up if your main goals are doing well in the mile and 5k. Look at most of the best milers.

As for running, if you want to get better at the mile, train for 2 miles as...

Extended exposure to pain weakens the specific nerves' response to the pain, so eventually it won't hurt as much.

I studied martial arts for 10 years and had to do many a knuckle pushup on hard...

Small waist helps as well.

Somewhat ironically, when I was a lifeguard for several years and not in the shape I'm in now, I would suck in and flex my stomach pretty much all the time.

After a while it became force of habit....

Sailors (like 2 man team sailors) are very large there.

I've also found it helps if I twist my wrists OUT (as in supinate them) so that instead of the DBs being parallel with my back at the peak of the movement, they're at a diagonal.

If you're at Uni see if you can get in contact with a sports trainer. If your school has sports teams then it shouldn't be difficult.

I'd be interested to see the responses as well. Been looking to beef up that tear drop there.

Wider grip.

Looking good at 45 years young.

Squat heavy for big legs. That being said, it is difficult to squat heavy if you're working out at home without the equipment necessary to squat heavy.

However,...

That's hilarious. I actually have the sound clip playing in my head now.

Nope. You'll come out with a lot less fat though!

You could get some straps and then load up smaller weights on top of the 80 DB, then strap around both of them.

Knuckle pushups, like hammer grip pushups using the bars, work the triceps more.
