I know a few Marines and yeah it'd be tough to get them to adjust to getting form using a light weight. I almost made it myself as a marine but my back was totally screwed back then so no chance of...
I bought my wife the Starting Strength DVD and it shows how to do a lot of exercises properly. She got a vid from BB.com for proper form on doing the bent over rows.
Big thing is to not be in a...
Ok sorry, ankle hurts not calves.
Cadz barely does the stuff her Physical therapist tells her to do as it is. She's good with the weights but I am tired of nagging her about it.
Also doing each leg...
She just does the prescribed amout in the program nothing more. The change to a weight plate is starting on Monday. She does not have pain in the morning or even when doing them. But looking at it...
Hi, your idea is good, but won't work if you are using a calf block like she is. Your foot is never flat. You put the ball of your foot on the block and stand on your toes. Sure a professional calf...
Honestly I have no idea why she bows out at the ankles with the barbell. But I can visually see it and nothing works to correct it. When she does calf raises with one leg at a time there is no...
Well she's certainly gaining weight she just doesn't like losing her figure and looking like a guy. She's gaining about 1 lb. a week but some of that is from snacking at her 2nd job. I'll tell her...
Hi All Pro, I'm trying to make some changes taht will keep my wife happy with her hypertrophy goals and make the program so she feels less frustrated. Here are the modifications I am thinking of...
Ok, thanks, My wife did the program for 1.5 cycles but it doesn't give enough hypertrophy for what she wants. She is stronger but wants physically larger muscles. For 3 months she's had sizeable...
Hi All Pro
I'm not sure if this question has been asked but I am curious. What would happen if you were to do the same exercises as the ones in your program in the same order but instead you were to...
Buy a Power Rack and get a decent bench, Squats are essential and no fun if you don't have a power rack to save you from dumping the weight on your calves if you fall.
Thanks it's a pain to use the dumbbells for some of these exercises as she is finding out and the form is different for dumbbells than barbells.
I guess we will go to the empty bar even for warmups...
My wife is just completeing her 1st cycle of 5 weeks and is ready to move up in weight. So far we have had her using dumbbells for warm ups but she was wondering if she could just use...
My wife does Abs and cardio on her off days. she just finished her heavy day on her first cycle. She does cardio 30 minutes on Tues Wed, Thurs, Fri in the morning about 10am. Then she does Abs and...
Dude stop trolling in here, you've already been neg repped into oblivion. This program works. You didn't answer his questions because you haven't a clue as to what he's talking about so drop out of...
Ok so how do you go less than the weight of an unloaded bar?
My wife substitutes Dumbbells where she can, but for some stuff she has to use a barbell. The lowest the EZ curl bar can weigh is like...
Hate to say it but get the Starting Strength DVD and you will see many of those problems corrected in the video. That's what my wife did and now she's still having some trouble but working on it....
My wife uses the same weight for all 3 days for the curls and the calf raises. Also the same weight for bent over rows. but that is because she can't drop much less than the weight of the empty bar....
We only enter stats on the Bodyspace page once a month. I see no point in wasting time doing it every week or 2. You just don't see enough gains in a short time. but monthly gais are good. We have it...
Yes, Cadz is my wife. I just post for her since she is slow at typing. Plus she's now working 2 jobs and she'd probably not respond at all as she has like 20 other things she's doing other than her...
