I generally judge it by the quality of the pain I feel afterward. That is, am I regular-sore or am I in-the-process-of-****ing-up-my-spine-sore. That, and I sometimes feel my lower back rounding...

That's right-- squats and deadlifts. Arguably the two most important lifts in any program. I can hardly do them. When I have access to a gym, I do okay with the squat rack, but my deadlift form is...

I do dumbbell bench presses and I was taught that when the weight gets high I should rest the weights on my knee and nudge them towards my shoulders to get into position. I have a set of disc...

yeah. sorry. I knew I would regret it.

I hate to bump, bump.

I've been doing a full-body workout three times a week based around 5x5. My main goal is strength and I'm not going for hypertrophy, but I am also interested in what I look like. What kind of mass...

thanks

it would be nice to know why, exactly, it's a bad idea to include machines in my 5x5...

I'm wondering if it's okay to do a 5x5 program with machines. I like the full-body thing and the degree to which 5x5 works the muscles, but I know machines tend to isolate muscles and not really...

sorry, but I've been away from the computer

late bump

...add only a couple high-intensity free-weight exercises to an entirely calisthenic routine? For various reasons, I'm sticking to a program of push-ups, pull-ups and sit-ups, sometimes weighted and...

I guess my question is-- what can I do once a week to ensure strength and possibly mass gain?

Pretty simple-- is there any way to work out hard one day a week and make some kind of progress? I have cardio preparation concerns and I'd rather not lift on the same day I do sprints or bodyweight...

seriously.... push-ups, sit-ups, anything... I'm looking for a routine, I guess

I'm going to be out of town without access to weights for five or six weeks this summer and I'm looking for something to do for a few minutes each morning to build up whatever strength I can and...

is it possible to gain strength without an increase (significant or otherwise) in muscle mass?

trust me, I'm not interested in doing this, I was just wondering

Bump.

Could someone answer my main question?

wow, I don't do nearly that many exercises per day... should I? is two or three less much of a difference?

You really think I should work out 5 days in a row? I take a day off between days 3 and 4, and between days 4 and 5, and again between 5 and 1.

I have a five day split that goes: chest/biceps, quads/hams/glutes/, back/triceps, delts, and traps/forearms/calves for each of the five days, respectively. I do a little abs every day of the split,...
