I tend to combine eating really healthy and pretty unhealthy into each day's diet plan. I get all of my vitamins and minerals from food. However, I tend to use carbs as my source of unhealthy stuff...
Anyone have any experience with weighted close-grip push ups. Kind of like diamond push-ups but a tiny bit wider hand position and a more standard hand position vs. making a diamond with your hands. ...
With a standing press, you move your body around the bar instead of moving the bar out in front of your head. You keep your glutes and abs tight and look at a spot on the wall that's up and forward....
Was originally just going to ask about the farmer's Carry. How you program it, how long it takes to recover from it, etc. I decided to throw up my whole plan so it can be judged and commented on.

Are these a good exercise for the long head of the triceps? I am talking about the version where the bar is low, and you are facing the ground with your arms up kind of over your head. You hold the...
Yea, that was how I felt for a long time as well. Now I am asking myself if building a kinetic chain is the main goal of doing an OHP. I'm concluding that it is not, and that the main goals are to...
I'm really beginning to question the value of a standing press. You can't lift as much weight vs. seated, and especially vs. a bit of a lean back on the bench. You can work your abs separately, you...
Good advice in this thread, but this post was absolutely true for me. I don't know if I'm getting the upper-back development I was looking for, but the carryover to pulling off the floor was serious....
I was doing rack-pulls from below the knee yesterday after my heavy squats. The goal was to develop the upper-back, but I felt it in my hamstrings and lower-back. Is that normal? I am thinking that I...
I hear you and understand your situation. To each his own. The belt does allow you to get tighter, and getting tighter is better for lifting more weight. That is, as long as you don't strain your abs...
Yes, it's very possible. But if you feel like your rotator cuff is "gonna crush" then you're probably doing something wrong. Post a video of your wide-grip (and close-grip may help too.) Then someone...
You should also take a look at what part of the lift you're failing. Are you failing off your chest, at the middle, or at lock out. All of these different points of failure can be addressed by...
Yea, the clean-grip can be tough if that's what you're talking about. Going cross-armed can make a big difference in terms of being able to maintain form throughout the rep. You can even clean-grip...
A lot but it's off and on. Consistency is the most important thing and life has gotten in the way for me.
Some of my current maxes are:
LB-Squat: 405#
Bench: 285#
Deadlift: 530#
Front-Sq: 300#...
