You can end up with a better setup at home than in almost any gym. Buying secondhand is the way to go. You'll need:

Safe Squatting:

Heavy duty squat stands with safety catchers, or a heavy duty...

Not too much.

I hit everything twice a week usually, or twice in 9 days if I need more rest. And I'm an old codger. And the only supplement I take is creatine monohydrate........ if I bother.

Good point about the tendons. They have a much more limited blood supply than muscles, which are highly vascular. I suspect that is why people are always injuring themselves when coming back after a...

The best way to stall progress is to up the weight too quickly. I'd say 5lbs is plenty.

Massive traps are wonderfully impressive, and for most people hard to get. I wish you could send me any unwanted trap mass!

Since the range of motion could be the same as for a longer armed guy, no problem. Whatever gets YOU stronger.

This.


Start with an empty bar. I started stiff leg deads when I couldn't pull conventional because of trashed knees. Started with a very dodgy 5 kilos.....an empty EZ bar. Just concentrated on...

I guess you are on a split. Not necessary at this stage of your development. But a good upper/lower split is great for both results, and for flexibility. Anything more complex is a waste of time...

You don't need assistance. Letting someone else take some of the weight doesn't make you stronger.

3 x 3 after low rep(or singles) warmups is a classic low rep protocol. Great for strength. To...

Peter,

2 seconds up(concentric) and two seconds down(eccentric) is not particularly slow.

If the weight is heavy enough, even tho you try to power the weight up, it won't go fast.

I found that using the triceps bar solved the problem for me because of the parallel grip. A standard bar or even my EZ bar were awful. Ditto on the tri pushdown, I use a gymnastic ring for my setup....

The problem with that nonsense is that they ignore multiple hit failures.

That causes the mother of all selection bias.

Thus if your your PD shot 100 perps with their issue load, and 75%...

True.

But unless you are a 65lb 90 year old nun, a 50kg dead does not entitle you to drop the weight;)

Apart from the Dante shoulder mobilizer, that you do with a broomstick, I usually don't bother.

Oh God.

YOU DON'T USE YOUR 5RM.

If you did, you couldn't do 3 sets.

So you don't count back 10 or 15lbs from your 5RM.

Find out what your 10RM is IN GOOD FORM.

Patience young feller.

Almost nothing worthwhile comes so easy.

Even if you only gained at say 1/8 inch per month, that would be 3" in two years.*

But that would require you to lift...

Jeez Rhino you are only 45. Wish I was that young.....

Just train progressively, adding poundage whenever you get your scheduled reps in good form.

Never know where you might end up;)
