Just curious. Been lifting most days for over a year now, but as my sumo goes up, so does the leg soreness. Every time after heavy day (singles or doubles) my legs are sore. And I mean SORE. I raced bikes competitively for years and never felt this level of soreness. If I so much as jump, or...

Today I was doing my push routine which starts out with flat barbell bench. I warmed up with 2 sets of light weight and then headed into my working sets. I loaded the bar with the weight I was able to do for 8 reps the last session. For some reason I wasnt able to lift the bar off the rack. I...

Hey Guys. I need some help. How do you all stay motivated to train and eat when no one else around you does? I live with 4 other people that don't do anything and its slowly brining me into a slump. Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to this. Luke

When performing a hip hinge, should the knees bend or be straight?

Our company gym does not have a lower decline bench. I've only been doing weighted dips (leaning forward) to try to get some of the lower pec. Is there any other excercise I can do?

What’s up community? I’ve got a problem: my bench press has plateaued for 2 months. Taking a week off didn’t help, and traditional volume deloads never help me break through plateaus either. I’m on Viking’s Bare Bones upper/lower, so the volume is pretty high. I’ve been progressing relatively...

Recently started doing lateral raises with a landmine (T bar). I feel my entire shoulder working hard and I don't have any impingement issues with my bad shoulder when doing them either. Anyway, has anyone else ever tried them and had good results with them?

Hi all! I've been experiencing some knee pain lately. The pain isn't strong, it's more of a dull pain that is always in your awareness, but doesn't bother you that much. It runs in the family, from maternal as well as the paternal side. Both my grandpa and my dad had knee surgery, while my mom can...

Just recently I got up to 125 squat for 5 reps and was ready to increase my weight to 135. The other day though i noticed my groin on my right side was hurting a lot. I decided to power through it and finish my set. Then again yesterday my groin was hurting again. So i decided to just skip the...

My long head tricep lacks size and i want to train it more/better. I was wondering what exercises are best for this one specifically. Personally i was thinking weighted dips and close grip bench press, but simply because they're more of a mass/compound exercise. I don't know if they are the...

Hi. So I was deadlifting about a week and a half ago and was tired during the workout. Me being the idiot that I am, I deadlifted 315 for 5 reps, with poor form as I simply did not have enough energy to maintain good form, where the second half of the rep would be me dragging the bar up my legs...

I kind of realized I hadn't been doing these and recently have been trying to incorporate some forearm exercises in. They feel really unstable and choppy. Kind of like there is very little difference between a weight that is good enough to give them some exercise and failure. So I get this kind...

My rear delts have been lacking despite doing rear delt raises with dumbbells twice a week. So i decided to implement seated one arm cross cable lateral raises and also face pulls at the beginning of my work out (priority principle method) I never did face pulls however and they're not in any...

I am able to pull with 70 lbs atm but I can only pull a few inches below my chin. I heard that it is best to let the bar touch your chest, yet pulling below my chin is enough to feel a stretch in my lats. Is this sufficient enough?

I have switched from lat pull downs to assisted pull ups. My reason is that there’s no cheating, no torso bend to help. I do multiple grips to hit all the back. Much better results. Still learning after 40 years in the gym.

I only do 4 lifts and i do them about 9 out of 10 days. One set every 2 hours all day. I just lift to keep healthy at my desk job. Hex-bar deadlifts with 250 lbs and weighed pull-ups with 50 lbs on Olympic rings (plus dips and incline dumbbell press). The upper back soreness only presents...

when I bench press I keep my eyes on the middle of the bar as I lower it. this causes my head to come off the bench a little bit. then when I press it I drive through my feet put my head back on the bench and look up at the ceiling and visualize reaching for it or throwing the bar through the roof....

Hello all, As the title says, I would like you to check my deadlift form. I started Boring but Big this week and did Deadlifts for the first time in 1.5 years. Weight in the video is quite light, 70kg (152lbs), using 20kg (45lbs) plates (the biggest in my gym). Youtube link: ...
