Gaining strength on what? If you want to gain strength on DB rows, then DB rows will be better and vice versa. What are you trying to gain strength for? For functional strength, DBs are probably...

If you know you can recover from it then I guess why not. How long were you able to run it last time? The longest I could do it for was about 3 weeks.

Straps on curls aren't going to do anything to help your wrists. You should switch to an exercise that doesn't put that kind of stress on the joint. Straight bar curls used to kill my wrists too...

I don't get why people do bench supported DB rows period. Very few people do them right and end up doing some kind of power twist to throw the weight up and catch it at the top. If you...

Use a nice pause at the bottom when you press and the thumbless grip on pulling exercises is a good suggestion. That doesn't work for me when I row but on vertical pulls it's great.

You can try building up the flexibility to front squat. It won't take too long. I just started them again today and my wrists were the limiting factor but a few more times and it won't be a...

If you want to go to 2x a week you have to either drop volume (like cut it in half) or a good amount of the weight you are using while your body builds up it's recovery ability. I also wouldn't just...

I started out on a 5 day split with a low rep range (4-6) and my bench strength barely increased, along with most other lifts. I then did a 5x5 for a while with bench on M and F and military press...

I used to think the same way until I hurt my back being an idiot with military presses. Come to think of it, I was your age when it happened. It's completely not worth aggravating it now that you...

You bench on Mondays. What do you do the rest of the week?

OP, what you posted sounds about right. You can reset the weight at the floor each time (Pendlay row) and work on being explosive or let it hang between reps. I personally prefer Pendlay rows...

I used to take a bunch of supplements and have since cut down to just a multi and whey post workout. Sometimes I run out of whey and am too lazy to reorder it for a while so I don't even use that. ...

GOMAD + starting strength

Here's my background:

I have about 5 years of lifting experience. I started with Max-OT when I was a raw beginner (bad call). Then I did a lot of 5x5 type programs and basically the whole Rippetoe...

What's shaking man? Haven't been here for a long ass time.

I'm deloading for a week to a week and a half. Not gonna bother posting anything until then. Dropped some more weight. I'm a reliable 210 now.

Week 3 - Bench DE & RE

Speed Bench:
10x3x135

Same as last week. Done on the minute. Felt a lot faster and stronger today so I'm already seeing a difference. Hopefully this carries over to...

Thanks to you too buddy... my journal would be dead without you and Rip haha.
