A lot of commercial gyms do not have benches with safeties that are adjustable, sadly. But yes, if this is an option that would be the solution.

I'm surprised by this. I figured a gym would be more liable by not allowing spotters.

Spotters are good for the freak occurrence where your arm breaks so they can help catch the weight. However,...

Anything that places it at a stretch will help as training a muscle in the lengthened position can generally yield superior adaptations to training a muscle in the shortened position. The long head...

Well the exam was considerably harder than I expected. I think I passed but I'm not completely confident and I unfortunately have to wait 8-10 weeks to find out.

Anyways, I took yesterday off...

You may need to simply elevate your heels for the squats.

If 4 kg progress means lifting strength then that is fine as you are in a big deficit and have lost >70 pounds. You probably could make...

General recommendation for fiber is 14 grams per 1000 kcal intake. That's based on data showing benefit for heart health. There are other benefits of fiber without good quantifications for the...

I would but another heater on amazon. I just did this for my home garage gym as I wanted a second one and it arrived in 2 days and is working perfectly. Cost <$70.

That's a pretty quick timeline, most people aren't getting those symptoms for at least 8 hours or so. Usually this only lasts 24 or at most 48 hours.

The above is all good info.

For isolations assuming you do them after compounds progression becomes tricky as when you go up on the compounds then you will have more fatigue going into the...

This is one exercise I will never do as I have a torn meniscus in my right knee but I'm curious if there would be merit to sitting on the bottom stair and trying to stand up with one leg (perhaps...

I'm somewhere in the intermediate/advanced range and I do full body 4x/wk currently and am getting good results.

OP, as indicated above you need to pick something and stick with it. When you...
