What is your height, what do your arms measure, what does your neck measure, and what weights are you using on your big compound lifts?

How you feel about your arms is too subjective to elicit...

There is more than one way to do this right. A lot has to happen between putting your hands on the bar and pulling the slack out of it, even though to a novice it may not look like much.

If you...

I like it. I would consider doing front squats before pulling deads. If you've tried it both ways and like deads first, cool. I'm picking up on your alternating theme.

Might be quite a bit more than you need for the same return. 2 yrs off puts you back at square one, but your previous stint gives you a running start. You should be back to pretty good levels in 2...

Dumbbell single arm rows target mainly lat muscle. Rhomboids, traps, biceps get some attention there too. The long head of the tricep may get a very little bit of stimulation.

Might you be...

Looks to me that you are initiating coming out of the hole with your butt. Your butt is leading the upward movement. That indicates that you are not engaging your hip drive with the legs. They need...

It's at once the difficulty, and the beauty of resistance training. Can look at it as confusing and mystifying, or liberating.

How could Mentzer criticize Arnold's training? Or anyone Yates'? ...

Are you fearing the bar coming down on your forehead, nose, or chin? If so, maybe work on the fore/aft flexibility of your neck. You need to be able to pull your head back out of the way with your...

I like the way you managed programming the deadlift.

For me it would be a little more chest dominant versus shoulder than I need. But I have always had shoulders that lagged, exacerbated by...

We are all really different from one another, and we are all amazingly adaptable. It turns out that amazing physiques and super strong people are the products of a variety of training approaches. ...

I developed shoulder pain doing upright rows. Had to stop them.

Then I started doing them again with a different width grip. Great exercise.

Devil's in the details.

6% fat is not healthy for anybody.

Be a good thing to not make goals based on bodyweights. Bodyweight is useful only to understand trends caused by diet changes.

How are you determining your body fat percentage?

Getting control of your diet and gaining that experience and the accomplishment of manipulating your bodyfat would be pretty cool. Especially since you've had a year of cutting loose.

I would...

Lot's of good points here to take home.

That cranking the neck is a sign of loosie goosie. You need to be locked. Forget about looking at anything.

I have a similar issue with my calves. The right one feels super connected and controllable. The left feels like I'm trying to remotely control somebody else's. Right calf is big. Left calf is...

I alternate pronated pull ups and neutral grip pull ups on back work twice a week. I finish off which ever one I happen to be on with chins. After I warm up they are weighted (especially now that...

I'm curious, exactly how is your back curved?

This routine reminds me of a youngster who gets his first chance at a dessert buffet. Everything looks so good he has to have not just some, but a lot of all of it. It just doesn't turn out good.

Cycling on a properly set up bicycle brings my periodically ailing knees back into squatting health.

Stepping back from "righteous intensity", as is mentioned above and which I find hard to do, is...
