Is it an effective alternative to the standard dumbbell overhead press (for my 2 previously mentioned reasons)? It's difficult to find any sort of information on it but in theory it sounds great. I...
Seems like:
1. Transfers a lot of the load from the front delt to the side delt
2. A safer way to do overhead presses if you don't have superb overhead mobility
Yes, most sources I've come across say don't 'fully' lock the legs out but you should be very close to that. If I keep my legs fully locked out and lower my heels a lot to get that stretch, it's...
I don't fully lock my legs out but I'm very close to it. However, I feel like it's impossible to keep the leg slightly bent throughout
-At the top of a calf raise my knees lock out if I apply any...
I've always genetically had a big ass compared to my quads/hams. And getting my back squat stronger didn't really help. I'm looking for ways to work the quads/hams while minimizing the glute...
-Over a year ago, with the goal of improving posture, I overstretched my left lat from stretching too intensely when cold (felt burning sensation)
-Never ever notice it in everyday life or when...
I've decided to take your advice and completely stop all benching variations for a while to really help fix the kyphosis. How essential do you think dropping overhead presses are in addition to this?...
While I agree shoulders are by far the #1 key to looking aesthetic, I'm not sure if dominant delts alone take your muscularity illusions to the next level like arms/traps do.
I've noticed that dominant traps or arms can give the illusion of making a person appear more muscular/bigger than they really are. Same with lats/delts but not as much as the others. Thoughts?

Fairly popular video below (ignore the catchy title). Basically use some momentum on the concentric and do your best to resist gravity on the eccentric. It's a way to overload the side delt with more...
Anytime I'd forcefully stretch my left lat, I'd get this slight burning sensation. If I were to keep holding the stretch, it'd get more and more intense. I stopped all lat static stretching for a...
It doesn't matter if crossfitters aren't bodybuilders, that's irrelevant with the point I'm trying to make. And you could argue the Arnold thing for either side. There are probably guys who don't...
Thicken the waist as in build up the obliques/etc too much to where it takes away from your v-taper. My goals purely lie in the physique. I've been lifting for 6 years and I've probably deadlifted...
I try to push and pull in all planes of motion. I get no pain on any of them except the hammer high row (diagonal row, opposite of an incline bench). Even if I tuck my elbows I'll notice it a bit....
#1: Having separate 'strength' and 'hypertrophy' oriented days in a given week.
vs
#2: Starting every session with a strength lift and tapering off to the hypertrophy range.
Yea I know. I'm just asking how that compares to running a phat-style template. Many well respected guys recommend them (norton, 3dmj, john otis hollywood, etc). I've always done it the way in this...
