Leg Press is a great Quad exercise if you prefer doing Squats in the PL style rather than the BB one.

I only squat 315 and deadlift 340, so I'm not sure how much my opinion counts for, but when I use belts, my lower back tends to feel a bit better immediately after the lift.

You're at 190 lbs and you can't bench 150? Yeah, probably a form problem. You're either:

Failing to control the eccentric portion of the lift.
Failing to arc your lower back.
Failing to contract...

If all you want is creatine monohydrate, you can get generics pretty cheap.

If you want a designer brand with stuff other than creatine, then be prepared to shell out cash.

Haha, that's pretty good. I can only do 230 @185 lbs.

People doing curls in the squat rack.

I use one when attempting new 1rms on squat and deadlift. That's really about it.

It does make my back feel a bit more comfortable after the lift.

Lulz, necro post, but I agree with tonester. I started training with a hypertrophy routine (yeah, shoot me), and got completely stuck after noob gains. My body just hadn't built the neural...

Why all the hate for people who use "pussy pads" when squatting? I thought it was strictly a comfort thing, it's not like it makes the exercise any easier.

Unless there's a biomechanical reason to...

If you're that desperate to work your biceps, pile crap into a suitcase and do curls with it. Sure, you'll probably have to do like 50, and you probably won't see any gains, but it might delay...

"Upper Right part of my 'upper glutes'".

Yeah, I don't feel this while squatting, but I do while deadlifting. I have never had persistent pain, but it may just be the erector spinae. Or my...

Flyes are important, but I've found that, with free weights, they put quite a bit of stress on your shoulder joint. If you have had a related injury (I have), then you made need to substitute a Flye...

I've heard around 6-8 weeks.

Really, though, it depends on genetics, routine, nutrition, supplementation, mental state, etc etc.

Looks just fine to me besides the shifting of the weight to the toes on some reps. But I think everyone does that (I know I do) to some extent, so as long as your back feels fine to you (only you...

Try to keep your knees behind your toes at all times as best as you can. It looked like they were traveling too far forward.

Also, in general your plane of motion on a squat should look like this,...

It's not a mistake to read too much IMO, as long as you internalize it.

I wish I'd have read that trapezius contraction on a bench press is of paramount importance (I'd read it, but kinda...

Lol at the kid, but I use a pad just because I find the bar (with weights, ofc) uncomfortable. Then again, I prefer deadlifts to squats so it makes no difference.

I'm at a college gym, and ofc...

I grunt quite a bit when I'm trying to squat close to my 1rm, or leg press heavy. But yeah, if you're grunting on wrist curls, you need help bro.

Oh yeah, another thing: I see guys try to bench...

If you don't feel like lifting, you might want to take it light. But it also might be your CNS telling you that it's fed up with your workout. This makes more sense since you're doing full body...

I blame emos for making skinny limbs somewhat fashionable.
