+1 to this post. Its tough to gauge whether its making a significant difference in training but if you do your research and settle on the right multivitamin it can't hurt to give your body the fuel...
For maxing out on bench and deadlifts I usually start with about 10 reps @ 135 and just keep the sets in the low rep ranges and add a plate each time after that. Judge it based on your energy level...
The push press develops the strength of deltoids much less than the military press. This exercise takes the load off of the shoulders and often the legs are over utilized. I would focus on the...
Make sure that you are varying your grip on your bicep curls. Wide grip and narrow grip preacher curl alternation might help. Standard barbell curls did wonders for me. EZ curl bars are safer but I...
It varies from person to person. I usually do at least 2-4 exercises per muscle group. Definitely build some strength and utilize proper form and less exercises to start. Add exercises to challenge...
I was watching a video on youtube by Layne Norton, pretty educated lifter... He said sometimes when you stall in DB lifts theres room to grow in other ones. Mix it up with incline and flat to...
Rhomboid injuries are tricky ! I would stick to higher rep ranges and lower weight until you get a feel for the injury. Prevention is key here. As for exercises, cables are pretty decent as you can...

If your triceps are still tender I would avoid working them too soon. For larger muscles sometimes you are forced to workout with sore muscles in programs (Starting Strength or Smovlov etc). I find...
If you enjoy your current routine you can try a few minor adjustments..
Monday:Chest/abs
Tuesday:Back
Wednesday:Legs/abs
Thursday:Bi's/Tri's/forearms
Friday:Shoulders/abs
Sat:Rest or a day to...
Oh okay I thought you meant something else. If you have diastasis recti then you should definitely google specific exercises for that ! Normal ab exercises aren't the best thing to do.
what do you mean by separated abs ? Everyone's muscles look different. Take UFC fighter George St Pierre for example. He is one of the best in the world and his abs are not the typical look. The...
Program at least 2-3 abdominal workouts into your week. Also, keep track of your nutritional information: carbs, fats, proteins. Head over to the Nutrition forum and check out the Sticky Page at the...
