Hello all. If you're anything like me and cant seem to grow your chest no matter how much stronger you get, this post is for you. I've been going to the gym for approximately 9 months, with my first 6 months i primarily focused on the bench press as my main chest exercise. I quickly noticed my...

Hello my nice, cooperative and warm fellows! I can't gain any biceps strength. Right now i do standing barbel curls. Starting with 10kilo the first set and then 20 kilo for the last 3 ones. After that i do sitting dumbell curls. 10kg on each arm. I rotate the dumbells as i go up. But...

So I want to become a deadlier/better fighter. I know that the stronger you are, the deadlier/better fighter you are. I know that in martial arts and fighting, you use/engage pretty much all (or most) muscles. This includes abdominals, calves, deltoids, glutes, hamstrings, lats, lower back,...

I’ve been having pain between my shoulder blade and spine on the right side for just over 4 years. It started in 2019 doing dumbbell rows. I never felt anything pop or hurt but I started feeling a pinch in this rhomboid area and over time it turned into a nightmare of an injury that I wouldn’t wish...

Can someone please convince me that doing high reps of squats and deadlifts beats any other substitute? So before you say I'm a pussy and tell me to squat and deadlift; due to my scoliosis I cannot focus on getting stronger in these two lifts and my goal isn't to become stronger, just being fit...

So i had a few weeks off lifting due to illness. Yesterday was my first day back and I performed the OHP (using 531 protocal). Today my erectors are really sore, from about T4 to T12, so not lower back. Its not a bad soreness so im not complaining or anytning, just interested. Why would OHP induce...

It is essential, especially for beginners in physical exercises, particularly those involving leg weights, to perform knee-strengthening exercises. Among all leg structures, however, the muscles deserve the most attention. When the muscles of the thigh, knee, calf, and others are strengthened, they...

Do deadlifts strengthen the subscapularis? Just compiling a list of enjoyable, mostly compound lifts for an overall hypertrophy regime and I want to hit every muscle in my body at least once or twice a workout cycle.

Hello all, I currently do a 6 day split workout in a week, hitting each body part twice a week. My question is by the time I go back to chest, it's not sore if I'm not touching weights, but I can feel slight soreness from the prior chest day when I start the first chest exercise. Does that...

As title says are deadlifts and lat pull-down enough for a thick and wide back?

It just seems better in every way. - Form is easier to get down - No elbow, wrist or shoulder pain from holding the bar in a biomechanically awkward position (strange how behind-the-neck movements are considered contraindicated, but barbell back squats are considered fine…just saying) -...

I need to know if I should stick to 4 heavy sets of deadlifts or drop down to 3 or so. Also I'm doing 6-10 reps with heavy weight, I saw in another thread a lot of guys saying they do 4-6 reps, should I drop the rep amount down?

So I've been going to the gym for 2 years now. Yay me right. Well Im starting to appreciate what good legs would look like. I have a big upper body and skinny af legs. I have a really bad back at 27 years of age. I struggle squating the barbell. Thats honestly what keeps me away. Hack squat and hex...
