You should take your own advice

As jyncs said you should read the stickies.

To sum them up, you need to be eating a LOT more if you want to gain(I'm assuming that's your goal?). I'm not going to do the math for you but I'm...

This makes my point. Thanks.

Sounds like I was making a joke.


You were being an arrogant prick. We both know you would never answer someone like that in person but you think you're an interwebz badass so you'll do it here.

If you want strength why not switch your routine, or at least chest routine to a strength-building program? Go 4x5-6 on bench/incline instead of 12 reps, etc

By bigger I meant fat more than muscular :P You should learn not to assume before making stupid comments.

I just looked it up and technically the serratus anterior(the muscle OP wants to hit using pullovers) isn't even part of the chest, so I'm almost certain you want to switch that to your back workout.

I almost asked the dumbbell guy what the point of his half-motion DB press was but decided against it since he was quite a bit larger than me :P

I haven't done pullovers in a long time but I'd definitely put them with back, not chest. Another alternative to db or the machine is using a straight bar on a cable machine and just pushing it down...

Well technically speaking the bench is one of the compound movements so it's a great movement but I know what ya mean. Today I watched a guy take 100 lb dumbbells and his elbows didn't even go...

A 5'7 guy with extremely long arms...lol ok. Anyways, as others have mentioned it's just preference. Some people don't work their bis/tris at all, some work em on their own day, some work them...

Well IDK about you guys but I'm totally burned out after 60 minutes of intense lifting ><

Are calf raises even necessary? I never do them but my calves look alright...leg/back day is usually squats/deads/pendlay rows/pull-ups.

I would throw in a few sets of forearm work at the end of workouts, maybe 3x a week...or maybe just jerk it a little more.

It's normal to feel your forearms being hit as you work biceps.

Well if you want to "get really strong" then you should address your forearm problem by targeting it. Besides forearm curls and the bottom half of bicep curls I'm not sure what else targets forearms...

What are the cons? It's just another exercise :P

You can focus on increasing your forearm strength via forearm curls, ignore that problem and just do the top half of curls(the bottom half uses the most forearm), or lower the weight a little and...

There's nothing wrong with training to failure [on the last set] as long as you're hitting a certain pre-determined rep range. Say for instance my goal going into the gym yesterday was to bench 355...

I think what he's trying to say is that if you work hard while in the gym you can work a muscle group 2-3 times a week. If you're lifting every day then chances are you're not really pushing...
