Fair points. My problem with straight bar pressing for chest is mainly the fixed wrist position, not necessarily the amount of weight involved. If I wished to go heavier, I'd simply use dumbells....

Yeah. Compound moves, varying low rep ranges. Lol honestly I don't even know where to start, don't feel like writing a book:)

Good luck

If merely thinking about heavy strate bar work for your chest makes your shoulders hurt, go no further. I have a way to safely fry your chest. It'd also be great as a finisher or curve ball for the...

I may have the cure for you- it worked for me. I suffered from it for years, until I read an article written by an ex NFL strength coach a few years ago.

Long story short- the tennis elbow pain...

In general, with chest pressing movements, one should keep the arms tucked at about 45 deg to the torso. It's much safer for the shoulders (trust me). Having the arms flared out wide will give the...

Basically this^.

You wouldn't have to weigh 185 at 5'6'' to look ripped and huge. Try weighing 155 to 165 and 6-8 % and see how that treats you- I bet you'll like it

Excess personified. I wouldn't want to look like that, even if I could (which I can't, thank God)

Barbell rows and I never got along. Personally, I see no reason at all to do them and also feel that their risk:benefit ratio is way too high.

I think it's much better to opt for supported one...

You take "old man strength" to a new level.

I used to use them as a warm up, and for that they're great. I'm not so much into using them for much else... but they are a good, basic calisthenic, and they should get more respect than they get

For me, after having lifted for over 20 years, I've found that certain movements aren't worth the pain- even if they "work."

In general, heavy straight bar compound lifts pack on strength and...

Doing the home thing and doing the gym thing both have their pros and cons. Depends on what leg of the journey one is on and what the goals are. "Success" comes from the inner fire.

I've been sober for 12 years and change, and am 39 years old.

You're right; AA is not the only way to get sober and stay sober. AA happens to be the way I and millions of others have got sober...

I prescribe the goblet squat. Dan John has written lots of good articles about them. They're good stuff

See my response

Dips are a great exercise for people with healthy shoulders. They'll beef up/strengthen upper body in a hurry. But if they're done improperly, they will absolutely trash the shoulder complex, esp...

Pretty much. It's all about the daily experience and enjoying it.
