Thanks. I don't feel as bad about the shape jutting out.

With my pecs over my rib cage at that angle, should I be doing exercises differently to hit the pecs hardest? For example, if I bench at 30...

Hello,

I started lifting around February of 2013, and I've made some decent progress. I skinnied up at one point, and I've been bulking for months now and putting on a bit of muscle. The forum...

Good news! Doctor approved a testosterone levels blood test. I'll find out soon if going over the hill has caused some of these issues. I'll update when I get the results. Low testosterone would...

I had already tried that and was gaining quite a bit of weight with no muscle gain on the All Pro Beginner routine. I went from 13% body fat to 18% during that time. It sort of pissed me off because...

I thought I would post an update.

I went off of the All Pro Routine, as despite continuing it and trying suggestions that were offered, I still wasn't gaining.

I switched to a three day split:...

I've been stalled for over 3 cycles now, and always right around the same reps. It starts at around 10 reps and continues through the end of the cycle. It is all posted in this thread already!

I am interested in starting strength but two things worry me. One, that it doesn't hit some muscle groups directly, such as biceps, and while I understand that from a pure strength perspective the...

I failed this week on the BP and OHP for the 2 sets x 10 reps. I completed the 1st set of 10 reps for both and then completed 9 reps and 8 reps respectively for the 2nd sets.

This is basically...

Sadly, I am not butchering the program. I started the last cycle similar to this cycle. I could do both sets of 8 reps. I completed both sets of 9 reps. I stalled on 10, where I was able to complete...

I'm losing my BP to my squats because I am so burnt out after doing my two working sets of squats that even with a 5 minute break in between the squats and BP I haven't recovered enough to excel at...

Hi Steve,

The squats are causing the stalls. The heavier the squats the worse I am stalling on BP, and I am lifting a lot more if I don't do squats at all. As my squats increase my BP is...

After doing my two heavy sets of squats, how long should I rest before starting the bench press?

K, two people saying to deload if I fail multiple times. I guess that will be my next step if I fail again this time around. Thank guys!

I don't recall reading that in the FAQs. Isn't starting out at 8 reps effectively lowering the effort expended after the higher reps from the 12 rep week?

I can complete the first 2 sets of 8...

Cool. Thanks guys!

Alright, I've been stalled on chest and shoulders for quite some time now.

I'm stuck at 140 lbs on bench press and 85 lbs on overhead press for three cycles now. Everything else is moving along....

Yet you opened it! ;P

I don't think you understood my question. That or I don't understand your answer.

I'm trying to figure out if by keeping the weight constant between the two previously mentioned sets I am working...

So, what was your bodybuilding routine composed of???

Awesomeness!
