1st set is like 6 or 7/10 intensity. By the last set I’m completely dead. Takes me like 30 minutes including warmup. Always get light headed, and barely have energy left for accessories. I’m used to less volume like 3x5 or even 3x3 which I find much more manageable and enjoyable, but I...

I am making very little progress with my bench press. (Flat and incline) On flat press I am constantly between 185 and 205 for reps going to 225 x 1. Recently I have really struggled with flat bench and am having a hard time at 195 for reps. I am looking for some advice on how to progress my...

I normally alter between hammers and regular DB curls but I got a minor injury where regular db curls irritate my wrists. Despite this, I always enjoyed hammer curls more; any major difference in terms of muscle building? Pictures to compare would be helpful

Wondered whether it made a difference and whether doing it sitting without a back rest coud result in bad form or injury?

Apologies for the wall of text. I hope this is one piece of the puzzle that makes it come together for me. Bear with me - thanks. Ok, I’m debating what to do next. I’ve been working out for a couple years and after making mistakes and other setbacks I’ve kind of figured out what work and what...

Hi All, I'm curious if sit-ups are good for building abs, I'm not looking to lose body fat and that's not what my question is, I just want to know how good sit-ups really are for growing abs. Thanks, Kris

I have sensitive shoulders to a point where the flat bench irritates my shoulder joint regardless if I press with proper form and keep my pulling volume ahead of my pressing volume. For the past month, I only did decline and incline presses (rotating between workouts) to see if it would help my...

For the longest time, I really only did squats and deadlifts with the occasional leg curl for lower body training. Since the last few months of 2019, I took my squat from 285 lbs to 340 lbs. My leg development was fairly decent but in that time period, I simply grew bored of the exercise. Would it...

Once again the workout and exercise forums are kinda dead, so let’s see what exercises y’all would pick if you had to choose 1 lower, 1 upper pull and 1 upper push. Mine would be a trap bar deadlift, hammer chest press and a seated cable row.

My silly free trainer from planet fitness gym has not gotten back to me either my exercises plan. So I'm asking for help here to make me an exercise plan. I have pictures attached on my profile under gallery. My main goal now is recomp. I want to lose fat around waist thus getting low...

I am so feed up of feeling so sore after workouts

I personally don’t know how I feel about them. I like to do most of my base/buildup training without them then do a few months of adding lots of weight to the bar and getting used to the knee wraps again in prep for a 1rpm PR. One thing for sure is that whenever I’m in or finish a training block...

I was wondering what the best way to train for mass is? More specifically my pecs and upper body would I have to lift heavy and lower reps of lighter and higher reps or a good in between? Thank you very much.

Im currently running an upper and lower split, 4 days a week. My rest days are Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. My aim is to lose body fat (although add muscle where possible). I have an indoor fitness bike and wonder what would be the appropriate intensity to start with (and progress to) if i...

Hi guys and gals, Just wanted to see what you thought of this. Hurt my elbow somehow just before UK's 3rd lockdown around early Dec, the elbow or at least the area around it hurts, even if I am lifting a mug of coffee. Anyone had experience of this, how long to recover, did you exercise...
