Forum: Exercises

I know the advice is generally straighter back and lower hips. The issue is that I have a long torso. For reference, 6'1 but only 32" inseam for pants. If I get into position low enough to reach the bar with a straight back and lower hips, my knees are over my toes and the bar won't clear my shins....

Today, we'll perform a complete workout right here on the channel, and we'll conduct a low-impact aerobic workout for everyone. We'll have options of 10, 20, or 30 minutes. Even so, if you want and have time, you can train with me for 20 minutes here! It'll be a total-body cardio workout! If...

I have shoulder instability in my right shoulder, as well as common bouts of bursitis, which causes pain and weakness in my shoulder. Shoulder press seems to be okay for the most part, as well as rear delt face pulls, but I'm seeking a good alternative exercise to the side lateral raise because my...

I’m a big fan of upright rows. I have been including them as mainstay in my shoulder routine since 1981. I have trained them heavy, light and all in between. I have trained them using free weights, cables and even the smith machine. I like to pyramid them 12-10-8-6-4 or straight sets in the range...

This isn't the first time, I hurt my neck before during flat dumbbell bench. It's the back of my neck, maybe my trap? Is there something specific that I could be doing that could cause this. Are you supposed to keep your head against the bench during the lift? I could be lifting my head off the...

Hey guys, I want to get into pull ups. I am a big heavy guy, so I know it will be difficult. However, i am wondering how to build towards them in a training schedule Cheers

Please be patient with my post , I won’t make it too long but please read it all if you can. I have a huge problem with my upper body that I have not found many answers for. When doing presses whether it’s a typical bench press or floor press I always get massive uneven soreness . The left pec...

My bench got up to 100kg x 5 and 90kg x 10, then plateaued. I also got covid in the interim, which severely affected my training. Since recovering from covid, I’ve nearly got back up to those previous weights but I’m starting to get elbow tendonitis. I believe it’s from an overzealous attempt to...

Ok so after 8 years of trying and failing, I have decided to throw back squats in the bin. I have made no progress on them in this time frame because as soon as I hit between 90-120kg I get injured: bad back and bad knees and as a result I have to go back down in weight, do various other rehab...

I have a cervical disk herniation from a recent injury, as a result I lost all strength in my tricep around 6 months ago. I’ve slowly been building it back up after rest and a cortisone shot and it’s no longer impinging the nerve (or at least not as much), and I’ve gotten back around 80% of my...

Why can’t I feel these? I mean, if I use the low handles I can feel my lats pretty well, but I’m trying to recreate something more like a Pendlay row using the high handles with a wider grip to hit my upper/mid back. I’m super aware of my back in general, and I’ve tried messing around with the seat...
