How much do you squat? You should deadlift more than you squat.

Make sure you get the proper form down. Watch some of these videos: ...

Your deadlift should be greater than your squat. What's with the 8 rep set... don't mess with Rippetoe's program. Also, is your form correct? Post videos if you can.

What's wrong with my breathing on the bench? I try to inhale at the top and on the way down and exhale on the way up. Is that incorrect?

For the deadlift, in Rippetoe's video he would instruct...

Mark Rippetoe also says this reduces the level arm on your shoulders. Go watch his video (the bench press part more specifically) to get the full jist of what he says.

I was wondering if you guys could critique me and my friend's form. We watched Rippetoe's video and tried to follow his instructions. I'm in the white, my friend Aaron is in the blue. These videos...

You can just put it on two wood planks to raise it up relative to the floor.

I'm thinking about getting the third one since I have little room left in my basement and little money left on top of that :D.

Your best bet would be to buy 2 2.5lb plates and bring them with you.

I've been having the same problem. Try bringing your head up and contracting your abs more. This seems to put more of the weight load on the abs rather than the lower back.

Just eat a lot more than you think you need. Yes, you're going to gain some fat. Deal with it and cut when you're done bulking. I've gained 20 pounds since April and kept around the same body fat %...

Is it okay to use dumbells instead of barbells for rows? I feel that my form is much better with dumbells, and I can bring my arms up higher with them and therefore hit my back more. With the barbell...

see a dermatologist

Thanks.

This is actually for my friend who swims 20 hours a week year round. His legs are really weak though (I doubt he could even squat 70lbs 5 times) so I was thinking doing 3x5 squats would...

Hi,
Does anyone know of any good articles on weightlifting specifically for swimming? I read the one "Power Pools" by Carl Valle, but it was too geared towards sprinting. Are there any articles...

Hi,
I strained my lower left back (probably a combination of bad deadlift form and something else I did in everyday life) so I won't be able to do squats, deadlifts, or rows for a week at least.
...

Everyone seems to say this, but I think it's poor advice. My legs were killing me on my second workout and I still squatted...bad idea. I couldn't walk down stairs without supporting most of my...

Are you kidding me?

Do chinups/pull ups

Not true. Your body can start puberty early if you're under a lot of stress for some reason. There are other factors as well, especially weight and body fat %.

oh and there's always liposuction ;)



It's that some part of the abdominal muscles are under the ribs.
