Forum: Exercises

Apprently I’m a teeth grinder - I think I just keep my teeth clenched naturally through the day and specially as I’m thinking and keep a negative pressure pushing my teeth towards my tongue (via the checks I guess - if that makes any sense. Like when you try to suck your cheecks in while teeth and...

Front, High-bar or low-bar? I am asking with respect to herniated-disk risk.

Hello, i have a question here. I train for hypertrophy, so im trying to have 8-12 rep range and go near failure. I can modify weight with nearly all exercises to do those reps, but problem are pull-ups. I can do max 4 pull-ups. My question is, how can i train them with hypertrophy focus if i cant...

What do they mean with eat 0.8 to 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight? I mean some people are obese, some slim and some muscular.

Can anybody tell me a way to increase my biceps without using gym equipments? There's a COVID-19 pandemic which is what causes infections among the gym freaks in the local bodybuilding gym near me. Of course, I don't wanna go. Yes, I will gain big biceps by going to the gym but I'll be in a...

I lifted seriously in the past, but didn't take my diet and other things seriously so my growth wasn't that great in 3 years. But I'm back at it again and doing everything right. I've been working out for 2 months. I was just at the gym last night and my first superset was spider-man push-ups and...

Deadlift form check - wtf is going on with the C shaped butt movement last couple reps? I noticed it a week or so ago. How do I fix it? Smh What else do I need to improve? Thanks guys!! SgkaWPKp0qg

How do you wrap joints correctly? Thanks.

I was curious if people think these movements are a good idea to add to a lower body day. Has anyone programmed hip abduction exercises into their workout routine and actually seen results? What’s the best way to do them? (standing, lying...)

What is the difference between seated barbell shoulder press and seated military press? Thanks.

Does anyone know of anything that can be attached to an Olympic bar, that has a wide grip with hammer style hand position for rows. All I can find is the attachments for cable systems for lat pull downs.

I have heard people say you don't need to do incline if you just came off the flat bench (dumbbell or barbell) I mean is it necessary to perform incline on days when doing flat?

As of now, I using paused incline bench press as an accessory to my main lifts. I maintain a 2-3 second pause at the bottom and it makes something light like 90 lbs manageable for 10 or so reps (for reference, I can press 115 lbs for reps without a pause). If pausing makes something "light" a...

I thought for the longest time that I was benching with a 30 degree seat angle, but upon closer examination it’s actually 35... and the next notch down is 25. My upper chest development isn’t fantastic, and I’m wondering if a 25 degree angle would benefit me more (as well for flyes) than a 35. As...

Title says it all. How can I stop this feeling like I’m gonna puke. It feels like I’m finishing up a XC or Track workouts where I’m sprinting 800m repeats 4 times and my body says no f**king more of this bull****, why did I even join this stupid sport, I never liked running to begin with, if anyone...

Anyone else had this issue? I filmed myself the other day and holy crap once I get to the bottom of the motion I lean forward a ton and I slowly straighten my back out as I go back up. When I do front squats I don't seem to have that problem. It's amazing I haven't wrecked my back entirely yet....

Hi guys, not sure if im posting on the right forum. Basically i want to put 10-15kg of weight in next 2months. I’m willing to do whatever it takes(gainers, absurd amount of calories etc.) Issue is that i dont have access to a gym, only resistance bands and pull-up bar. Im 67kg, 6’1”. Clearly...

I watched a Cailer Woolam video and he uses a hand gripper, among other exercises https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMqRkpZSX4M I know there are better alternatives in the gym, but I want to use one at the office. The purpose is to get a stronger grip. I am somewhat reserved because it is not...

Hi I'm trying to come up with a few different exercises to do at my Mrs studio, for mainly legs and thought of a Farmer Walk as I have a long walk to use. I have an Olympic Bar and could load this up and just walk with this, I'm guessing it may be a little difficult to walk properly carrying a...

Is it okay to exercise other body parts when there is an injury in another part? For example, is it okay to do a weight leg workout while having a broken arm? Or will it mess up recovery in some way? I know it can be difficult in some cases like having a sprained ankle working out arms...

My left shoulder experiences sharp pain and sudden weakness in certain motions and I am seeing PT for this. Any pressing movements will trigger the pain. I have removed incline DB press and DB shoulder presses. I plan on bulking closer to summer and was wondering if there's any way to have a...

Here is the thing: I'm stuck at home with virtually no equipment and bodyweight dips and push ups are easy. I know that one arm push ups don't target the chest really well, shoulders and triceps will fatigue first, even with perfect technique(torso going straight up and down like in 2 handed push...
