I do full squats for 'functional strength' in case I ever have to use an Asian toilet.

Get some sort of a deadlift in there and you have a nice, simple, low-volume routine. Of course, you will be heavily criticised by those on 6-day bro-splits, who insist that every routine needs at...

Apparently he's a 375lbs bencher?

I know that strength and size aren't necessarily correlated, but he looks like he would fail at 225lbs . . .

And I thought my e-stats were far-fetched. ;)

I once did 90 sets of DB hammer curls and tricep extensions, each set to failure, in the time it took me to watch a couple of films.

No, it didn't work and in fact hindered my progress overall as...

Ruggedly individualistic mavericks.

Weak troll is weak. You have much to learn, young Jedi.

OP, based on what I've read (and my noob experience of poor training), it works like this:

No weightlifting + no calorie surplus = no fat, muscle size, or strength gains

No weightlifting +...

Hi OP, I know an Abercrombie model and was given his exact workout.

Man Cleavage

Flat Smith bench 12-15 reps, 10 sets
Incline Smith bench 12-15 reps, 10 sets
Decline Smith...

I find that DB flyes are no less effective when done on the floor than on a bench (i.e. mostly useless.) :)

Floor presses, on the other hand, are a great substitute for bench pressing if one has...

This is probably the least important question anyone could ever ask about his training. :)

If you haven't done BSSs before, you probably don't realise that the rear leg gives considerable assistance to the the active leg . . . the lift really is more like a 1.5 leg squat than a 1 leg...

If you really have a 315lbs bench@179lbs BW, then I think you already know the answer to your question. :)

Reading this thread makes me glad I lift at home!

Although, my obese cat did once jump from a shelf onto my stomach whilst I was completing my last set of 5x5 bench presses with no spotter . . ....

DBs offer greater ROM over BBs for bench presses, which can be especially useful to bigger lifters. But safety is the principle reason I now use DBs exclusively.

What kind of a person would troll a BBing site?

Really, think about it.

After all that I've read about the smith machine, I think I'd prefer squatting in an iron maiden or other medieval torture device than in one of those infernal contraptions.

But I suppose if you...

As has already been said, the Military Press is an ultra-strict variety of standing press that few lifters perform today. I would expect a significant drop of poundage if I ever tried these.

I...

Never more than an hour, which includes five minutes of stretching as an initial warm-up. Typically I only do 3-4 exercises per session, making sure I warm-up properly, and rest well between sets and...

You could just add more work sets if you want more volume, but five are really plenty enough already. If you're adding weight to the bar at a steady rate, it's probably best not to rock the boat.
