Hi folks,

I've never struggled with motivation before. I've always felt that human nature is to be as lazy as possible while still being comfortable. The average/normal person is not something I...

I'm a fan of reverse grip bench on a smith. It's a nice variation and was one of the few ways I could work my chest after I separated my shoulder.

I found it was easier to increase weight with chins than add reps. I started by adding just a 10lb plate and maintaining my sets at 8 reps. After progressing a little(25lb plate), 15reps at body...

Down about 10 lbs so far. I'm starting to think I was ambitious to aim for 145.

I prefer to hit my hamstrings first because I feel they're lacking comparatively. If either your quads or hamstrings are behind in development you would likely benefit from hitting them first. Keep...

I just had a health assessment done at work today and I think the body fat% they measured(using hand conductance) is pretty far off.

My stats:
24M
159lbs
5'7''
28.5'' waist
9.4%bf

I do...

I seem to have the se type of rash that started up early March. I started keto Feb 23(second time). This is new to me so I'm trying to figure out what is causing it. I'll let you know if I figure...

High volume like this may make for a hard workout or a welcome change, but it isn't necesarily conducive to results. Unless you're chasing the pump.

I'm guessing the comment was referring to your abundance of protein supplementation and high number of meals. I probably wouldn't eat s/f jelly on a bulk, but that's because I have a hard time...

This is exactly what i've found. They tend to say something like "How can you eat that whole box of ice cream and not be fat."

Clearly just jealous though.

I know you said you hate upright rows, but I would suggest trying them with a cable with the rope attachement(if you haven't). It allows your wrists to move in a more natural way and might feel...

Use straps. Front squats are great for quad developement if they don't cause you any issues, although the weight is still on your shoulders.

Something else worth trying if it fits into your split, underhand bb rows. Keeping my torso at ~45-60deg I definitely feel it in the diamond portion of the traps.

I also hit my traps on the same day as back/bi(pull/push/legs split). I used to do them with shoulders when they had a dedicated day. My traps have always responded well no matter when I do them and...

I was Surprised with some provolone cheese I tried recently, it wasn't marketted as low fat but only 90 Cals/30g compared to marble cheese I normally buy at 120/30g.

Also, as a few others have...

Well first we would need to know what you think low reps and high reps means. To some 30 reps is high to others 12+ is high...

You also mentioned he was quite scrawny to begin with. when someone...

I do reverse grip tricep extensions(one arm at a time on cable machine), which is a similar exercise to kickbacks. Nothing else allows me to really squeeze on the lockout(while still under tension)....

I've always preferred low reps, bulking, cutting, whatever. While cutting I think they're even more important as I find myself wearing out early. During the later reps(8+) I feel like I'm just going...

I guess I'm part of the minority that uses cross arm grip. I experience discomfort in my wrists when using the clean grip and haven't bothered working on wrist flexibility as others have. It's what...

I'm a fan of cable crunches. I like to do 6-9(8-12 reps) sets of 3 different exercises. I've been doing kneeling and standing cable crunches and machine crunches or leg raises to finish.(I do...
