9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB







until next time...

^^^^^

You don't have to pick, rotate exercises every couple weeks for variety. In addition to regular pullups and chinups, try using a hammer (neutral) grip, these really helped develop my lower lats. ...

A forward lean is fine, and it requires you to 'sit back' with your ass out to balance.

As for your back, it is probably just weak. When you squat, be absolutely sure you're keeping a tight arch...

I would do front squats over smith squats any day, but you may want to add some posterior chain work as a consequence. A few sets of pull throughs or GHRs a couple times a week will probably be...

yes, hanging from a bar will traction the spine which is very good

however, it can also stretch the lower back muscles which is bad because you want stability, not flexibility, there, so don't...

1. This is something you can test on your own.

2. My favorite rear delt/upper back exercise is the face pull. If you need work in this area, try doing 2-3 fairly light sets of these every workout...

the main force should come from extending your hips, as you do this your chest will rise. the lift should not look jerky.

What is a normal state of retraction? I don't walk around with my shoulder blades pinched, but when I bench I sure as hell focus during my setup to get them as tight as possible, and I try to keep...

If you are chasing a big deadlift, you should first decide which version is better suited to your leverages and strengths (this can change over time). Do most of your training that way, and use to...

I agree to some extent, but this applies more to really out of shape people or those will structural problems that prevent them from deadlifting properly. Others, especially with some training...

Focus not just on your lower back but on the hamstrings and glutes as well, since these muscles often work together. Any exercise where you extend your hips will help you- deads or pin pulls, good...

Yes that's about right. Both versions use the same muscles, but conventional uses more low back and sumo more glutes and hamstrings. With regards to leverage, it's true that there is a smaller...

wut?

how is that not clear?

^^^^

keep your knees pushed out and squat between them, not onto them

First of all, behind the neck exercises are not smart for many people because of the strain on the shoulders. Consider removing all BTN exercises from your workouts.

As for your shoulders pulling...

hammer grip pullups and pulldowns really helped me develop my lower lats.

I've never done shrugs from a zercher hold, but yes, it seems like this could work. I'd be concerned about the stress on my elbows though, for me at least the amount of weight I use for bb shrugs...

yup, that fixed it for me


I always chew gum during workouts. I'm not sure it's a big deal, but the scent of mint has been shown to increase physical performance, so anything minty would be ideal

Box squat!
