    Add me to the list of log wannabes. Just got mine the other day. I'm loving it cause it doesn't make me as jittery as the pre-workout supps that give you 400mg of caffeine. Also wondering why you...

    As stated previously, an upright torso on dips with elbows held in will torch the triceps more efficiently; leaning forward emphasizes the pecs. If you're still not progressing, give skullcrushers...

    Stretching post-workout can definitely help, as can the low-impact cardio and sufficient carb-ing. I'm not sure I agree with more frequent leg work unless it would be to insert a day of lighter leg...

    Depends if you'e chasing hypertrophy or you're lifting for competition. If the former, all's fair...

    Try lowering the bar to the base of your neck (this works well on a Smith). Make sure you have a spotter so you don't guillotine yourself. When doing this, the angle of your upper arms is such that...

    I'd also recommend the shrug behind the back if you have to use the bar.

    Then don't be lifting that heavily. Only lift what you can in good form; lower your weight to what you can perform flawlessly for a few sessions and slowly work your way back up.

    Not keeping them pulled back is the reason why you see so many heavy benchers with big anterior/front delts and lackluster pec development.

    Naps are good when and if you need them. They're not a bad thing unless they adversely affect your nighttime sleep, i.e., don't take one too close to bedtime.

    As mentioned before, if you're chasing development/hypertrophy, I wouldn't lock out. When I stopped doing it on certain muscles (pecs, shoulders, legs), the development came much faster.

    Any shoulder/rotator or back issues (esp upper back)? You don't need a lot of weight. A slow controlled negative with moderate weight should be plenty.
  • Do you lie on the bench or across it? Have you...

    Do you lie on the bench or across it? Have you tried both variations? Lift your sternum high, drop your shoulders. If none of these work, it's very possible it's just an optimal move for you....

    Have you tried any other pullover variations? You can use a bar or ez bar, 1 db in each hand, 1 db in both hands, a cable attached to a rope or ez bar. I feel pullovers more on a decline if I'm lying...

    My personal experience: inclines build the shelf on top of your chest like no other (especially if you occasionally lower the bar to the base of your neck rather than your pec line). Over-reliance on...

    If I'm picturing this correctly, it should be the lateral head of the tricep ("the horseshoe").

    How high are you raising the bells? Generally, anything past parallel to the ground intiates more traps.

    A tip that helped me was to keep my elbow soft (slightest of bends), and to lead with the...

    Lie on your side. If working your right arm, lie on your left side. You can do them on the floor, but I've also done them lying on a bench and even on a slight angle (I used a decline bench and hung...

    Skip the flat bench if you're chasing development. Incline benches, declines/dips (choose one) and a fly should be sufficient.

    I've always found flat benches overrated unless you're looking more...
