    Is it possible that weights can be more or less than it says on it?

    Free weights are generally pretty accurate. With machines, however, there may be an inherent mechanical advantage (due to various pulleys or levers, etc.) that makes the weight you are actually moving different than what might be written on the weight stack.

    I see much posting by skinny kids, asking about minor details of training that even a Pro wouldn't be bothered with. Over-thinking seems to be the order of the day on this, and other forums on this site.

    It isn't rocket science, people. Train. Eat. Rest. Repeat.
    I really enjoy deadlifts.

    those vids posted with the barbell rows didn't seem to go with the link for further information you posted.

    The body builder was at a 45 degree angle while the t-bar guy was way high, when the article says that the body should be near parallel. also the bodybuilder guy was pulling to the stomach, while the article says to pull for the chest. Lastly, the article says to deweight/deload after every rep while both of the videos are continuous motions.

    sorry but the vids go against the article. it seems like all you did was a quick youtube search and posted the first 2 videos you saw. or a copy pasta.

    If you want to nit pick and criticize, go ahead and write your own guide and find your own vids. The point here was to give noobs a starting place. If that doesn't apply to you, go ahead and move on to something more your speed, chief.

    Perhaps it's in your stretching technique. You need to make sure you stretch properly to avoid injury, and it can also hinder your progress if you don't stretch properly.

    Are you serious?

    Well, this is my copy and paste talents right here..

    "Notes & Final Thoughts:

    1. The videos I chose are ones I could find without wasting my entire day. I'm sure there are better ones, but these should give the basic idea of proper form. If you have a better one, please feel free to post it. "

    Thank you! Wish I would have read this thread years ago. I've been going to the gym consistently for a long time but have avoided some of these "must do" presses like squats. Now that I have done them (for about 2 weeks) I am seeing nice results in my fitness (along with improving my diet). Very helpful.

    Great post. Been training for 10 years now and I'm constantly amazed at what I see at the gym. That said, I used to make the same mistakes until I realized how important the compound lifts are to development. Cleaned up my act about 4 years ago with proper form ala Rippetoe.

    Why do people here always think newbies don't WANT to squat, deadlift etc.?

    This is not the case, i believe. Most people i talked to don't do these exercises because they don't have a personal trainer/person who knows these exercises well enough to explain them.

    And they simply don't want to do them without a trainer in fear of doing them wrong and messing up their backs and knees and whatnot.

    Guess i'm saving up for some personal training sessions =)
    great post though.

    Because lots of them don't.

    I never had a trainer show me how to squat or deadlift. I read, watched vids, and started light (as in, bar only). I shoot video of myself from time to time to double check my form. If you want to do it badly enough, it's a simple matter to teach yourself. Many personal trainers (depending on how lucky you are) don't know any more about deadlifting properly than anyone else.

    I-Life, just like anhy other profession, there is good and bad poeple in the career fields. I've seen many great trainers, and many piss poor trainers. It is just the way of the world. Just like you could hire two different roofers, and they are on two different skill levels.



    Also, I never had anyone show me how to deadlift or squat. I just jumped in and tried it out.
