I'm currently using this in my home gym for pulldowns, would there be a significant difference in muscle recruitment compared with a V bar?

I meant to say before and after, but yeah, point taken. Though I'll probably still do it to make up for what I can within reason (and, probably more significantly, the psychological benefit of using...

I'm going on a trip to a festival in early October. I'll be boozed up and overeating from Thursday to Sunday and looking forward to it! That said, how do you all go about preparing (if you do) for...

Good job, man! I'm in the boat you were in several months ago, sitting at around 20 or 22% body fat and trying to stop having a beer belly before I eat for growth. Being in a cut for many months on...

Thanks so much, SP.

Question: Do you see any additional benefit to what I've seen called a "powerbuilding" approach, doing a few sets at a lower rep range followed by a couple of sets at a...

Alright. Cutting it is.

Thanks for the encouragement. I've got a small frame and am 5'7" but definitely expected to have less of a belly at 136lbs hah.

Left is now, right side is a few months ago. I'm down about 12lbs which was my target, but I feel like my stomach barely looks any different. I can definitely see more definition when flexing and...

Better? Elevated the bar, definitely felt the stretch in my hamstrings which is why I set up so slowly to try and hold that.

Thanks guys. Looking at just building some blocks with 2x4s.

First attempt. Only 80#. I'm 5'7 140, 30 years old.

Sorry I can't post links yet! Thanks in advance.

I'm aware that the starting height of the bar is not ideal/correct,...

I'll try that today. Vid to follow.

I hate baggy pants, but they weren't "skinny jeans" like those skaterboard children wear with the hoodie sweatshirts!

So you're saying I should...not...do it...

Wait...


Jeggings.

I only had 30 minutes to workout before leaving for work today and didn't want to waste time changing. Did my squats in jeans and, wow, they felt easier than ever (after feeling particularly weak...

I feel ya, man. We have very similar stats - I'm 30, 5'7", but sounds like a somewhat smaller frame as my peak weight was 150. Thin with a huge (relative to the rest of me) hipster beer belly. I'm...

Okay. That's the weight of my next workout anyway.
I'll post another video next week on deadlift day.

Well yeah. Trying to keep it light while getting the form correct though. I'm only 140 right now, did 1x10 at 125 today. Easy but I wanted to get feedback before pushing it.

Especially now that...

How's my form? I watched a bunch of instructional videos and felt that I wasn't doing it correctly. The video above is my attempt to do more of a hip hinge and less of...
