The only bilateral lower body compound movement my wife has been comfortable doing is the leg press. She started out with one plate on each side, and has progressed to where she can do 340 lbs for 6...
Here was my workout program. ai worked out 6 days a week. Three days just cardio (some combination of running and cardio equipment). The other three days I spent half an hour in the circuit training...
I'd heard/read that BB hack squats were hard on the knees. So are y'all saying that as long as one deloads every rep, they aren't bad on the knees, or are they just not as bad?
I do pull-ups/pulldowns wide to keep my biceps out of it. Any time I try to work my lats I have a tough time not having biceps do the work. I guess I'll just have to pay attention to how my sholders...
I think you are underestimating what you get from running. When was at 155 lbs I found via an online calculator that I would burn about 300 calories by walking or running 2 miles. You would burn...
Some people here have suggested that you change too often, and others that you have perhaps stuck with the same routine for too long. Well, which is it? Or are both groups wrong? Say something.
When training for strength I find that I need to wait at least 4 minutes between sets, if not 5. If I superset antagonistic excercises, or do lower intensity work while waiting will this reduce the...
I went to the weight training section of their web site and didn't see those listed. Was it a closeout maybe? I could really use something like that, as I'm moving into a timy apartment.
I've read on these forums that the flat bench bb press is particularly hard on the shoulders. Are bb inclines/declines substantially less hard on the shoulders?
BTW, I'm training for strength right...
I had good results with Rippetoe (the version in the sticky), but my joints just couldn't keep up. Also, I injured myself on the ASG squats. So here's how I intend to cycle:
I think that it's useful information, especially for a beginner. After having to take a bit of a break from strength training, I bench 180 x 5, and deadlift 225 x 5. My last atg squats (I think this...
If they sold you a year membership when they knew they were going out of business, that's a bit beyond a civil matter. Call your local district attorney.
We don't have a great treadmill, but I can get a great workout on it with a 10% incline (max it will go). This way I can go at a much slower speed (less pounding) and still get a great workout. This...
Some places I read say that deadlifts are a quad dominant exercise (at least as far as the legs are concerned). Others say that they (regular deads, not romanian) hit hamstrings more than quads. Yes,...
I was doing Rippetoe's for a while with good results, except that it was a bit much and too fast for my hips and shoulders. I'd like to do something to strengthen my joints and connective tissue....
I was doing Riptoe and am suffering the consequences. Nothing major, just some things that have made training more difficult, and has forced me to skip some workouts or body parts. Of course I'm 37,...
I have a friend who'se 10 year old son has myotubular myopathty. It s a disorder which makes it difficult to develop muscle. Does anyone here have experience training someone like this, or know how...
