Will test this out next time. Thanks.

Tbh the only exercise I think feels easy are face pulls. Even then there’s still a level of discomfort when there’s tension on my rear delts and traps

Thanks for your input everyone. Will stick to incline, not that I care for powerlifting or any similar competition.

Unrelated but is Hammer Strength Shoulder Press effective for building up your...

I'm moderate just leaning to the left a tad bit and I find the meme cringe.


Forget it, most memes I don't understand the humor.

I definitely did this on days where my shoulder felt off- honestly people hate on machines but I always felt them work my chest muscles far better than free weighted exercises.

Probably will...

Dang I need a gym with better machines then. I had great experience with Hammer Strength machines for my back but their Incline Press doesn't target my upper pecs. That along with HS Seated Dips are...

Unfortunately I go to a commercial gym and all incline benches are fixed to a certain angle.

Been lifting for almost 3 years now and my rotator cuffs occasionally get discomfort from flat bench. I do keep my pulling volume ahead of pressing and I do face pulls for shoulder rehab yet shoulder...

Definitely. I got tired of plateauing the 3x5 on most programs so I just worked with heavy singles and added weight until I literally failed. I would be able to squat the failed weight next session...

Thanks for your input!

Random question: is progressing on the lift dependent on your leverages? I got short arms and legs and I believe this attributed to my squat surpassing my deadlift. My max...

EDIT: all these vids are about 30 seconds long so it'll be a quick watch.

Doing Lyle Mcdonald's Upper/Lower routine and I typically do pushdowns as a tricep isolation movement. Gym got a new HS Dip and decided to test it out and I feel it work my triceps well. Is using...

He may not be the most likeable person, but I will admit he did make the concept of strength training more simplistic for newbies to the gym. AFAIK most people who follow the Starting Strength...

Mark Rippitits is way too close minded and is dogmatic about his beliefs. He said the trap bar deadlift is worthless which was debunked by Greg Nuckols.

On one of his latest vids, someone was...

Elliot Rodger: the Prequel

Weird, I have short arms so I almost have to use high handles. I can grab low handles but my back is almost parallel like a pendlay row.

Wish I had access to a hammer strength decline. I focused...

I'd imagine this thread would give Mark Rippetoe an aneurysm.

Forgot to add: I'm doing trap bar deads on my non-squat days. Should I add more leg exercises besides the leg curl/press seeing how trap-bar deads are a bit more quad-focused?

As for why I do...

Thanks for the ideas everyone, will probably stick to the Hammer Strength Incline Press. I feel it nicely on my pecs.




Dips hurt my shoulder, plus my gym is outdoors and there's a lack of dip...

Been doing full body but keep half-assing leg work so I am switching to U/L to keep myself accountable. On the original template, you can do bench and incline (or OHP) on the first day and make...
