    Just did these the other day. My wife and I both decided Satan invented this exercise it hurts so much. We also agree Satan invented leg extensions.

    IDK why not. I used to do them every now and then on leg day for some extra glute work. I also frequently do hip abductions cuz they don't get worked hard enough from basic squats and deadlifts IME.

    I do this a bit too often as well. I don't think it's a big deal every now and then, but really shouldn't do this every day. I think it hinders progress. Now, grinding out that last rep and...

    Working in on dips, sure.
    Not the same as working in on the rack, shifting 45s around, resetting safeties and bar height.

    If squat or bench press is on the agenda for the day, take the rack when...

    Changing equipment may be a pain for some stuff, but not really for arms. For direct arm work at the end of the workout, I personally just do whatever is convenient and make sure to get a couple...

    A few random thoughts from a guy only weight training for a few years (but with an active full life).

    - The whole "you need to get strong in the basic lifts to get bigger arms" stuff is, IMO,...

    That's vaguely similar to what I was doing for a while when I had a lot of time. I started with PPL with one rest day, 8 day split, but I'd add to it to get more frequency:
    I'd do legs with an extra...

    Most of the flak I see for PPL is that it's just not needed for most lifters, that most beginner and intermediate lifters don't need the total volume or variety that necessitates a 3+ day split. If I...

    We did not find a gym in Porto or the Azores. So back to the gym in New Mexico this week after a month off. Down a good 10%+ in strength temporarily. Wife said it's time for a cut for her, and I...

    I often scroll FB reels, or whatever those vertical style video "suggestions" (aka advertisements) are. It's usually some lifting video cuz I guess that's what I engage with. I end up watching them...

    I do whatever I feel like at the moment.

    Usually this is at the end of a workout, while doing other little isolation. If I'm doing pec deck for chest, I just use the same machine and alternate...

    Wait, are the dog lifts a lie? The shotgun shells? I don't know what to believe anymore :'(

    Yes. I do when I go light, deep, and slow. I'm sure I also get activation going heavy, just don't feel it as much at the time. I do try to purposely use hamstrings and glutes, which helps. Single leg...

    Bench numbers getting better, (204x8)x4 today.
    RDL, 4 sets of 10 at 275.
    8.5 plate leg press feeling better. Leg press always hurts like hell the first set even at light weight. It's weird like...

    It's not really a big deal whatever you do. Just keep it challenging and keep trying to improve.

    I don't know the program exactly (despite it being talked about all the time here), but I'd just...

    Can't have a term for every different level of cheatiness or control on eccentric for every lift.

    I'd call it Pendlay if I'm lifting off the floor and not in full control on the eccentric (your...

    Is this a ChatGPT result modified into the form of a question??

    Deadlift, what I did is just start lifting dumbbells. Practice with light weight, get heavier, keep researching, graduate to the...
