I think exercise selection is the issue here rather than diet and/or intensity.

For me, the basic floor press has drastically improved this hard-to-reach area.Check out bodybuilder johnnie...

Hi. Pendlay rows are an explosive movement where the weights touch the floor at the end of each rep. Ordinary bent rows don't start from the floor for each rep as far as i can tell.

I am not sure what you mean by this. Are you talking about a pronated grip giving you trouble? Then you must be doing chin ups exclusively right? Personally wide grip pull ups have helped me achieve...

Hey. Don't you see all the NO products claiming to impart "maximum vascularity"? You got it for free! No reason to get worked up over that.Yes it's due to your low bodyfat percentage, but then it...

Hi. I have been practicing yoga for quite some time now and done right and gently it does seem to speed recuperation for me.

One invaluable posture that you can look up on youtube is Yoga Mudra....

Hi all. I understand that doing a floor press with legs straight (hence no arch) can be a better measure of pressing strength. But is there any risk inherent in not maintaining an arch on this...

What works for me is bringing the bar to just below chin level for the shoulder press (military press ie). For dipd I go as far down as possible while keeping constant tension on the pecs/pec-delt...

Hi there. My honest opinion is that you cannot go all out on weighted chins/pull-ups every day without getting overuse injuries along the way. However if you vary the loading and don't hit failure...

Hi. Already posted this on another thread. Copy-pasting.

"Hi derek. just my two cents. a long term strategy that has worked for me. i had been experiencing almost shooting pains in my wrists and...

Hi derek. just my two cents. a long term strategy that has worked for me. i had been experiencing almost shooting pains in my wrists and along the forearm during barbell curls. i switched to...

Come to think of it I have always activated my outer chest quite noticeably while doing pull-ups. Does this mean i am doing it wrong? but my teres gets fried well and good! however the chest...

What he said. And my suggestion would be do a rest pause set of 35-50 for pull-ups daily if you can. i know it sounds retarded but it has helped me so i am not going to knock that.

Hi there. Just my personal experience. I was heavily into tennis (the lawn variety) as a kid. it improved my stamina and built a good base but left me with an upper body that was lopsided in terms of...

Well i don't see anything wrong with cheating through the last sticking bit.at the least i would count it as a good negative rep. good attempt.

Hi. ask your doctor if a topical zinc spray can help or not.

just a suggestion. you might try this yogic cleansing procedure (esoteric, i know, but hey it works well for my rhinitis).

Hi. Though the pendalay row is an explosive exercise I seem able to handle more weight on the bent row. (I keep my upper body fairly parallel to the floor not making more than a 45 degree angle with...

Stretch out your lats by holding on to an upright support. Once you have learnt what it feels like to stretch your lats, try to duplicate that feel while doing bent rows and pull up/chins/pulldowns.

As the posts make it abundantly clear "deads" are a great exercise for beginners. They will add thickness to your back and increase your strength. Of course the potential for injury is also high....

Can this be a mobility problem? Do static and ballistic stretches before your pull-ups. Also try doing a 15-20 rep set of L-flyes prior to your pull-ups and immediately afterwards. Search the net for...
