Forum: Exercises

I’ve deadlifted on and off for years and, no matter what, it seems I cannot perfect my form. I feel like I know the proper form, I’ve watched videos from the likes of Alan Thrall and Joe DeFranco. I understand the cues and placements. And yet, even after relatively light lifts, I feel some...

Hi, I am looking to increase my punching power thanks to claping push ups but I don't know how many reps I should do and or to increase ( If I should add more reps or idk).. What I usually do is 20 claping push up. 1 minute rest. 4 set

Which exercise is more difficult? A regular L sit on paralletes vs a straddled L sit (so your legs are still in front of your arms. Same position as the regular L sit, but just straddled). I'd assume that the straddled L sit is easier because of better/increased leverage, assuming flexibility isn't...

via Imgflip Meme Generator How many are guilty of at least one isolation arm workout every time they go to the gym? I bet more than are willing to admit it. Curl monkeys, we know you exist. We are watching and we are judging. We notice everything. Your lack of compound lifts. Your lack of...

I might be a little young to be working out or trying to but, at camp (yes I go to camp) I met some awe inspiring people, one who was bullied and worked until he could bench 140 at 14 and is now 15 and another who would stick with me through thick and thin. This is why I want to workout but here’s...

I’m a newbie 2.5 months serious lifting experience. Currently eating 2100 calories a day average and slowly loosing fat and gaining muscle. Making good progress in the gym on all exercises EXCEPT Back SQUATS. It’s embarassing. That’s how bad it is. I started with the barbell and went out to...

Beginner here, would it be wiser overall to do weaker exercises for a longer period of time than to do harder exercises for a shorter period of time?

Been on fierce 5 for a while now my bench topped out at 90kg for 6 reps i went on a cut for 5 or so months and managed to keep most of my strength, big lifts went down a bit. Now im bulking again all my other lifts are going up steadily but my flat bench is not, even Incline bench is...

I know I can’t spot reduce. I am avoiding working my shoulders because I feel they would become more broad (Pics are on my profile.). Is there a way to tone and tighten up this area? I’m specifically concerned with the back of the shoulders near the armpits. Should I not be fearful of looking...

Hi guys, Just wondering whether I could do cardio everyday simply due to the fact that I prefer to eat more rather than eat less? I work a sedentary job and lift 4x a week. I’m not looking to cut any weight but feel as I should do cardio for health benefits but also because it just generally makes...

Hi guys I have a problem. I'm addicted to working out. I'll probably see a psychologist soon but I absolutely hammer myself each day. I haven't even gotten stronger or anything in the last 2 years. It's funny because a lof my friends are envious of my physique but the way I train makes me...

So basically I've been going to the gym for 3.5 month now and I deadlift 95kg and squat 90kg. My friend told me that its weird and my deadlift should be much more if I can squat 90. I'm running SL 5x5

Hi all Hoping you can please help. I acquired tennis elbow about 4-5 weeks ago. Have physio but still hurts when extending arm or gripping/ holding. I suspect it came from the tricep exercises below. I need to back to body/weight training as I’m getting married in 6 weeks. I had the following...

I did pulldowns for years and still couldn't do a single pull up. I then started using the assisted pull up machine twice a week, sometimes three times a week for a few months, and now I have progressed to doing sets of 6-7 overhand pull ups without any assistance. This is a great machine to build...

Hi, I'm a newbie in resistance training, having been worked out for 4-5 months. I want to train for hypertrophy. Currently I'm able to do skull crusher with 8kg DB (each hand) for 10 reps max. I try to do as strict form as possible. When I increase the DB to 9kg, i can only do 7 reps max. So if...

Hi, I am a boxer and I would like to know if the Bulgarian method would be good to increase my power, thanks

As the title says, can I perform Dumbbell Flys, Push-Ups (especially Incline), and Bench Press in the same workout? I know they mainly are for the same muscle group and it might cause something bad but I want to make it faster
