Yeah you’re right, my 10 rep max has gone up. It just feels like a blow to lose 1rep max strength, and feels like I’ve gone backwards. I’m going to look into periodization. Cheers for the advice

I guess all the advice online etc always says 8-12 for hypertrophy, and lower reps for strength. I just thought I’d change things up. But I found I just don’t enjoy compound exercises with higher...

I have trained for years doing BB Bench at low reps (5/4/3/2) and then Inc DB Bench higher reps (8/7/6/5). I recently decided to go higher reps for BB Bench (8-10 reps). I have done this for a couple...

Before I opened the pics I expected to see real bad loose skin. It really doesn't look bad at all. But if it bothers you that much I would just put on a bit of weight to tighten it up a bit. I have a...

So you want to get lean, whilst not being prepared to change your lifestyle? Nobody can help you here if you're not prepared to help yourself. You can exercise all you want, but you won't lose weight...

I'm 42 and BB Bench and Incline DB Bench are still my fave exercises. If I don't add a lb or two every workout I spend the next few days gutted. I think as long as you train sensibly and accept you...

I was wondering what other people do when this happens. It's happened a few times to me now. I always go maintenance while injured, but once healed I'm always stuck in two minds what to do. Do you...

Cheers for reply. Yes, I've had it confirmed that there was two tears, one in my bicep and the other rotator cuff. I was having PT but the guy was useless. I've been doing loads of rear delt work and...

I've had shoulder impingement in both shoulders for a year or so. I was training 6 days a week and 7 months ago I tore my bicep in the shoulder. I stupidly tried to train through it and tore my...

I'm ok doing that. I'm pretty certain its internal impingement. When I cut my hair with clippers a couple of times a week I hold my arms above head for 15-20 mins and it aggravates shoulders. Then I...

I've been given an appointment with a student PT in 3 weeks (great 🙄). So I'm at a loss what to do in the mean time.

I had pain in the back of both of my shoulders for months but stupidly trained through it. Now I have terrible pain in my right shoulder. I have rested it for a month which did no good. I tried all...

Cheers. Maybe I should go back to basics and take the weight off the bar and get my breathing and form perfect.

Does anyone else get these? I get a migraine for about 3 days after leg training. I'm progressing great upper body (bench 320, military 200 etc), but my legs are lagging wayyy behind now as I have to...

****, are you telling me this is not the ballerina forum? 😉
I think maybe I am overcompensating not training 5 times a week any more by cramming way to much into my 3 workouts. Maybe I should lower...

I'd really try and go for it now. You are still young and healthy enough to get yourself into amazing shape with a bit of willpower and mental strength. Time flies by so quickly. You don't want to be...

I'm 41 and the last few years I've gone from training 5 days a week since my teens to only being able to train 3 now. Even then I can still go into the next week not feeling totally recovered. Has...

I have been training for about 3 years now. However, due to chronic back pain I have not been able to squat or deadlift so just neglected Legs. After some physio my back is feeling pretty good and I...
