I only move up when I hit my goal. I'm going for 5 reps per set and yesterday was my first time going back to dumbbells. I go up in 5kg increments (per arm, 10kg overall) until I got to 35 because I...

It could be repetitions but maybe its tempo? Like 2/1/1 would mean eccentric phase for two seconds, pause at the end for a second then explode and do the concentric in one second.

So, instead of encouraging fat people to lose fat, we'll make excuses for them.

A 220lb guy benching his own weight is better than a 150lb guy benching his own weight but not by absolutely heaps....

I had a friend like this.

Started working out with me, never took it too seriously and him being there was having a negative impact on my training.

So, like I said, I had a friend like that. I...

I remember reading a case study on a group that did static stretching before testing standing high jump tests and a control group. The control group had no difference and the group that stretched had...

When I used to train in the 8-12 rep range I found that if I got a weight I could do for reps and increased it slightly I'd struggle a lot with the weight.

I've been training low reps for a while...

I have been asked, never ever been accused but I have gotten weird looks at the gym. I never realised the shoulder acne was a symptom of steroid takers and I get it all the time and I get loads of...

touch your chest, for nothing more than a reference point. You might do 7 reps of what you think is one inch off your chest. The next week you're able to do 10 of the same weight going to what you...

I love you.


Cmon man. I deadlift 180kg for 5 (396lb) and I weigh 5lb less than you and I'm one year younger than you.

Every year since I started training it seems like I get a 6-10 week injury between March and June which has been frustrating (broken wrist 07, badly sprained sternum in 08 and seperated shoulder in...

My training partner has been injured for a while so I've had no spotter for around 6 weeks. Whenever I need a spot on anything, I just ask one of the people around me who look like they're in between...

I agree that it is for this reason, IN PART, that squatting seemingly has an effect on upper body size.

I think the study is silly. I will keep it in mind, however, the next time I decide to be...

The graph at the top left of page 4 shocked me... I hurt my shoulder around 6 months ago and was out for a while. I was more comfortable doing CGBP than normal bench press for a while after it...

Almost 3 years ago. I had been going to the gym for around 3-4 months and broke my wrist playing a game of Rugby League. 5 weeks later when I got back into the gym, I tried doing the workout with the...

Basically, at the moment I'm on a 3 day split of chest/bis, back/tris, shoulders/legs but I wanna change it to 5 days - chest, back, shoulders, legs, arms. This is the routine I'm considering:

Muscle strength : fat strength > muscle density : fat density



the weakest muscle in the world still lifts more weight pound for pound than the strongest fat. So yeah, it might be more heavy,...

I'm around 70kg at last weigh in and curled 40kg the other day for 12 so with the 35kg bar maybe around 16-18?

Seeing as you asked for "bench press" and not something like "what would be ideal for chest development" I take it you're probably after incresing your bench numbers.

Go with 4-6 reps of high...

I was gonna make a similar point to this. Often a plateau can be mental. The number one factor that determines how hard you work at something is motivation. But if you're bored of something, you're...

I should hope not! I've had 3 medium range injuries (6-10 weeks out) in the last two years and after each one my physique had obviously suffered. At first its frustration that hard work had been...
