    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obqDHgsKz9A&feature=youtu.be

    Did a set of 4 with 115 lbs. Didn't felt too bad but I could feel my shoulders having a muscle imbalance. Any tips to fix it or is it...

    My body always thinks it's a Monday. Need that discipline to do squats or deadlifts instead.

    Continue where you left off. Your body doesn't know what day of the week it is.

    If you find yourself consistently missing workouts, it's best to swap to an upper/lower or full body just so it's...

    Fair enough, if I notice my knees start caving in, I'll give that cue a shot. Until then, I'll just keep at it

    I rewatched my form check and apparently there was no caving in whatsoever. Idk what the person what talking about.

    Nonethelss, is it helpful at all to keep our knees pushed out or is it to the...
  • Pushing my knees out against my arms for the deadlift?

    I've been deadlifting for a while and reached 3 plates recently. On a form check I did, I was told my techinque was good but my knees caved in at the beginning. Was recommended by someone to "push my...

    I just started recently. I aim for 2 lbs a monthly since I'm on the higher side in terms of body fat percentage. I've got no issue adding weight to the bar regularly so I'm sticking to my current...

    I'm on a 300 calorie surplus. I'm not injured and I asked this question as a "what-if".

    I've been on a fullbody setup (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) rotating between deadlift and squat. This Monday...

    Fair enough, though AFAIK weightlifting doesn't use the same amount of calories as cardio.

    If you did a 3 day full body split and only did the presses/pulls, I'd assume you would just carry on as...
  • For bulking, is it right to decrease the surplus if you can't train a certain muscle?

    Purely hypothetical question. Say you injured your knee or something and cannot safely to leg exercises (i.e. squats, deads, or even leg extensions) but you have an uninjured upper body. Would it be...

    Lmao, better late than never. I'm surprised I hadn't snapped up my back at this point. I could barely do 1 plate my first year now I can do 4 plates for 8+ reps.



    That's some good points you've...

    Honestly, every gym in my city has the same type of leg press. There is one, however, that is similar to a hack squat machine where you lay down on your back, though that gym is missing those cable...

    Are you not supposed to do that? Whenever this happens, the leg press felt closer to a squat for me.

    The only way my butt stays lying on the pad is if I don’t go all the way to the bottom of the...
  • how do you cope with low back fatigue from deadlifts?

    I train FB 3x a week and I rotate between squats and deadlifts. On occassion, my low back remains sore from the prior deadlifting session. This morning, I failed on squats and could only get in 240...

    I've got a cousin who progresses constantly on his row and squats but plateaued as early as 145 lbs for bench for like a year even when he did LP; deloading didn't do a thing supposedly. His...
  • How much volume is too much for most trainees?

    I was reading an article by Jim Wendler and he was once stuck bench pressing 410 lbs. Within two months, it rose to 440 lbs and another month later, it went to 455 lbs. He attributed the strength...

    If you fail on your 3x5, did you go too heavy?

    Regardless, that sounds pretty fun but grueling. Definitely saves time though.

    EDIT: Could you share the link? I can't find it in your post history

    Solid writeup man. I'll just do them and adjust weight/reps accordingly as long as they're relatively difficulty.
  • Anyone have inconsistent strength when it comes to isolation work?

    I train full body and primarily do compounds with arms thrown at the end for vanity. Currently on a surplus yet I find my strength for doing isolations like curls to be inconsistent unlike presses,...

    By that logic would HS machines be fine for building up a chest? Granted I know the bench press is an overall great upper body builder rather than the chest.
