100% correct. You cannot determine how much something weighs by height alone. You need the object's width, depth and density. Without those details, all you can do is just make a sloppy guess.

It's just how things work. You can't expect to be at maximum strength throughout an entire workout or exercise, especially if you're consistenly increasing the weight between sets or lifting as much...
X3, Shrug in a straight line... as for head position, I personally put my head down with my chin almost touching my chest, completely relaxed... it feels like it allows me to shrug higher because my...
Assuming your e-stats regarding your bench are true... then your flat and decline are only 10 pounds apart... close enough. And again... assuming you actually bench that much weight for 3 sets for...
Quite right... I should've looked closer at the bb.com videos... touching your chest ensures a maximum stretch, which is very important. So make sure to bring it down to your chest, unless you find...
I only lower the dbs slightly past a 90 degree bend in my arms, regardless of db size so I would say no. But as papi93 points out, it depends greatly on the range of motion you're using and...
Good advice... soreness only lets you know that the muscles you recently trained weren't used to the routine you put them through at best... nothing more.

I'd have to agree... unless you've already got some decent mass on your forearms... isolation isn't really necessary in my opinion. Although doing isolation wouldn't hurt you... I would recommend...
Which ever one is more comfortable for you. If you feel pain in your elbows doing skull crushers then move to tricep extensions; going behind your head instead.
Read the instructions on the bottle. Try small amounts first to guage your tolerance and make sure it doesn't mess you up. Then in future workouts... you can add more as you see fit.
Take the week off completely. Resting for a week won't hurt you, especially if you really are feeling burnt out. This will allow your entire body to heal and rebuild. Especially those muscles and...
I would recommend changing your split... chest before triceps. In my opinion, doing the larger muscle groups first... like chest, back and legs should come before any isolation training so as not to...
I think you're thinking of a smith machine... and yes it's alright to bench in it, especially if you're new to benching because it'll help to get comfortable with the motion path.
