TL;DR Just wonder based on your knowledge/opinion how far can I improve in 1 year? Is being able to curl a 30lbs-dumbbell very unlikely to achieve? My current status: • Ectomorph. 29yo, 5'10', 58kg(127lbs). Very skinny. Small bone-frame. Almost no muscle and no fat. • One arm standing...

I'm trying to pin down a muscular imbalance I have. I can do neutral grip pull ups and reverse grip pull ups (chin ups) easily, 10+ for either of them. However, I max out at 5-6 overhand grip pull ups. Does anyone know what kind of muscular imbalance would cause that? Thanks.

I recently experimented with these on the smith machine and they felt…alright. I’m against most shrugs because they don’t actually train traps but these felt very mid back dominant (which is where upward fibers of the traps are). Kinda like a Kelso but easier to set up. Anyone have any...

What’s the best way for me to hit my lats while not hitting my traps at all or very minimal trap involvement. My lats are very small compared to my overdeveloped traps and I really don’t like the look. Any suggestions? thanks.

Hey everyone, Im pretty new to the gym life, I restarted training in January after 3 years and last 2 months I'm really training hard, but without seeing much results. I'm eating very clean, no sugar alcohol or processed carbs and around 130-150 g of protein daily. 6'3 and 166 lbs. I feel like I'm...

What are some standing up exercises I can do with dumbbells to build and work out the pecs? I have a pair of 25 lbs and a pair of 12 lbs. I'm specifically asking about exercises you can do standing up and/or squatting (but still on both feet). I tried asking this question on Quora, but some moron...

I’m 5’5” male. 23 years old. About 150lbs. I’m probably around 18-20% body fat. I’ve been trying to build a nice physique for 5+ years. My diet is relatively clean. I’ve been on and off in the gym. I can’t seem to build muscle no matter how hard I try. I usually get up to a certain weight and...

I have only deadlifted twice in my entire life due to low back problems but recently I was reading about sumo (being easier on lower back) , I started with rack pulls bellow the knee just to get the form kinda and I do it with an empty bar.When should I switch to sumo,and any tips on how to...

For me it's definitely the front lever row/pullup (some call it a pullup some call it a row lol): OYWWmF0Skso Great for building the upper back and for overall athleticism, great carryover to other row variations (e.g. barbell rows), unlimited progression. The "final form" of these, the full...

I have very limited access in as home gym and don't have a bench press. For chest I do 50 LB DB press 12,10,8,8 and then Incline 40 LB DB 8,8,8,8 total of 8 sets... Haven't benched in 2 years how much would y'all reckon I can hit 135 for based on my DB presses?

My neighbor approached me to let me know her room is right next to stairs and can hear me stomp really loud when walking up stairs. I just told her I’ll keep that in mind and will try not to stomp. I also notice sometimes I stomp when going up stairs and heard it’s because of weak muscles. What...

Have been benching 60kg for a while now, doing 8 reps with a 8-10 rpe & around 4 sets. Seemed to have stalled for a long time, I am currently cutting to get to around 10% bf before going on a lean bulk diet. I do intermittent fasting & I usually take a 200mg caffeine pill before going to the...

Hi, I've been doing quite heavy weight lifting 4-5 days per week for 15 years and i am now 34 years old. I have dropped my weight lifting down to 4 days per week, but some of my sessions can be fairly intensive, such as 24 sets (8 exercises, 3 Sets) of mostly High Weight / Low Rep work. Such as...
