This is a very difficult question to be answered in a forum, especially without images or a video of you deadlifting. There are a lot of factors here: how bad is your anterior pelvic tilt when you're...

Unfortunately, DCSpartan is correct about the dumbbells, especially given your age and previous training experience. My general advice would be to get in the weight room - either at your school or a...

Generally, most people prefer to perform heavy compound exercises towards the beginning of the workout as they require the most energy and demand - and the beginning of the workout is when you have...

I would agree with the above reply. You have to consider recovery as that is an important part of growth and improvements in strength. Another thing to consider is what you are doing for your triceps...

Fierce 5 or Starting Strength Linear Progression are both great places to start.

In my opinion, you should build your workout programs around the 4 main compound barbell movements: squat, deadlift, overhead press, and barbell bench. These exercises provide the most bang for your...

This is actually a good point. The maximum amount of force produced by a muscle fiber comes from a fast but controlled eccentric contraction under a fairly intense load. Therefore, the notion that a...

Yeah, no squats. You shouldn't have any load on the shoulder at all, especially with a cartilaginous surgery. Your labrum is a vital part to the stability of your shoulder and if you compromise the...

Yes, that is a possibility too. Try it and see how it feels but if you are still experiencing the pain then it best to avoid aggravating activities and let it rest. I'm all for still being active and...

Changing your anatomical structure is very difficult to do. Some exercises and approaches as far as training can help, but only marginally. Actually changing the alignment would be difficult without...

I would say to give it some more time to really determine if it's problematic. I would imagine that the discomfort you're feeling is generally due to the new stimulus/stress from the bar in a...

It is hard to accurately address this question without seeing your form on these lifts, as has been mentioned. So if you could post a video of your form that would be the best way to provide advice. ...

First, if you are experiencing pain in your low back following deadlifts, then yes, this is a bad thing. Normally, you might experience some muscle-type soreness, but soreness "in a bad way" is not...

Muscle can atrophy (breakdown) significantly in 10 days if someone is on bed rest. So it can, in fact, breakdown quite rapidly. However, if you were remaining somewhat active and not on pure bed...

The main reason for "pinching" the shoulder blades back is that it provides a stable base for your shoulder joint to move. The only direct articulation your humerus (upper arm) has is with the...

Honestly, it comes down to what you want more. In my opinion, resistance training should always be a part of your program whether you are trying to lose body fat, or trying to gain muscle. That being...
