    I think it's worth developing a good flat bench technique regardless of anatomy. I think it's best to choose one bench style (incline, flat, or decline), and stick with it, and progress. Incline and...

    I've never heard of someone claiming that the spinae erectors are not aesthetic. What about them is not aesthetic? Not everyone deadlifts, and it's very obvious when you see a guy with a flat back...

    Workout plan's not bad at all. The push-ups will solve the imbalance issue. One thing I'd note though is that you can build some meaty triceps with bench press. Push-ups won't do much for triceps -...

    If I were using that squat rack for squats, I would stand outside it so I could squat lower. I would lose the plates under the heels - they're doing nothing since you're heels lift up anyway....

    I agree with the posts saying wide grip pull-ups are useless. The lats contract hardest when the elbow is close to the torso. Why do pull-ups if you're not targeting the lats? Shoulder width or...

    You can try the Dead Wedge - https://www.amazon.com/Dead-Wedge-Alternative-Powerlifting-Weightlifting/dp/B00TVVBD6O .

    I personally like to grab the weights and slap them on, and rip them off. But...

    I actually started lifting and doing push-ups at around age 24 as well. When I used to watch my older brother lift weights - he always had better form than me, and it did make me want to give up and...

    Aiming for total reps and increasing that number over time is good advice. Another way to look at it though is that 255lb is pretty heavy to be doing pull-ups. Physics and gravity affect that weight...
  • Ya I Guess

    I was hoping to see you cite a study. I know women can lift more volume closer to the 1 rep maxes compared to men, and that may play into all of this. Now your answer in the above video is a little...

    If you're having problems with chin-ups, I'd work on developing biceps, forearms, grip, lats, and abs. Do sit-ups, crunches, and planks and the chin-ups will be easier as your body will work more...

    Ya good video and channel. A lot of that information seems to differ from what's seen here. It makes sense though. Squatting knees below hips, and doing pull-ups with chin above the bar, or bench...

    If you can't maintain proper form, you're probably weak. Strengthen your grip and back through Deadlifts, and do ab work, and then pull-ups will be nothing - as in perfect form sternum to bar - if...

    6 days ain't ****. A doc would only tell you you're a pussy. I believe it's your serratus interior that's inflamed, and not yet recovered. Just do some leg work: lunges, squats, high kicks. You'll be...

    On the subject of range of motion for any given exercise - I don't think a Full ROM is essential or necessarily beneficial.

    Powerlifters try to minimize ROM to use more weight.

    Trust me - I read it like 5 times and it still doesn't make sense. Even with what you say now it doesn't make a lick of ****ing sense. You cannot compare two lifts at 33% 1RPM. It's not the same...

    So you can Deadlift in the 450s, but you try Sumo at 33% of your 1RM. Obviously you can't compare Sumo to Traditional without doing higher weights. No **** it's ****ing effortless at 145lb. Are you...

    There's more than just push-ups you can do at home. For sure check out Convict Training, but I would do yoga, lunges, squats, ab work. Get a dumbbell and/or kettlebell that's 20lb-30lb, and there's a...

    Hello Mr. Sad,

    I recommend you to walk 3-5 miles daily. Keep a calendar on your desk and mark off each day you go to the gym. Set your alarm for 0430 (AM) - wake up, shower, get dressed for the...

    Well, Mr. 45 years old, it's time to become a man - and to not give a ****.

    Well, dude, the only thing Marines requires is pull-ups, crunches, and a 3 mile run. None of that requires strength if we are defining strength correctly in meaning something high intensity you can...
