Looking to get stronger and more explosive. I've got some experience with powerlifting, not so much with olympic lifts but I want to try out power cleans to see how much they'll aide me in...

I read an article once that claimed 30 is sufficient because you don't need a huge angle to stimulate the upper chest. It's also most comfortable to me so that's what I stick to.

Oh yes I thought it read "iso work is always fine" but it reads "core work is always fine." Thanks.

Finishing up my first week in the linear progression program and had a quick question for you guys. Since the program is based on systematically progressing and "being under the bar" frequently,...

Sweet deal, good luck! I'm starting next week, interested to see how squatting 3 times a week will go.

Same here...just opened up the 2nd tub.

Some strange questions on that survey, nonetheless done.

Did hammer curls yesterday and had a strange pain in the side wrist area. It was on the eccentric part of the hammer curl if that is helpful. To describe the pain it is like I can feel the blood in a...

Sounds like if you strengthen your lower back and increase your flexibility you should be fine. I find squat to be more of a back exercise than a leg exercise generally, so emphasize strengthening...

Bump

Switching from working each muscle group once a week to twice a week. Looking for some input please.

Day 1:
Squats x4
Leg Extensions x3

I don't think there's a definitive answer as to whether pyramiding is better than a fixed weight, judging by what I've read and heard at least.

But I'd say light to heavy makes more sense than...

Agreed. Don't do back and leg day back to back or chest and shoulder day back to back.

Also, add some chest dips (weighted if you can) to chest day, lateral raises to shoulder day, glute-ham...
