Forum: Exercises

I am making very little progress with my bench press. (Flat and incline) On flat press I am constantly between 185 and 205 for reps going to 225 x 1. Recently I have really struggled with flat bench and am having a hard time at 195 for reps. I am looking for some advice on how to progress my...

Given half the world are in and out of lockdowns and gyms are constantly opening and closing, does anyone create their own dumbbells and excersize equipment. I was looking online and apart from a lot of places (U.K.) being out of stock of weights, they’re mega expensive at the minute Curious...

Hi.. had a video I was going to try to attach but it was an invalid file type. If someone can pm me I can send directly, have a lot of injury history in the past and want to make sure I am doing this thing right. It is late now on east coast but I will check my inbox in morning to see if any...

Long story short, I've had problems with my tear drop being far too weak in the past and now from doing Muay Thai it seems the outside of my quad and calf are far FAR stronger than the inside, pulling my foot out and causing knee pain. This is only on my left leg, my right is fine. I need to...

1st set is like 6 or 7/10 intensity. By the last set I’m completely dead. Takes me like 30 minutes including warmup. Always get light headed, and barely have energy left for accessories. I’m used to less volume like 3x5 or even 3x3 which I find much more manageable and enjoyable, but I...

What’s up guys, I’ve been working out for the last 2 years non stop with no real off time. I’d say one day a week I would take off. I’m always on edge. I snap at things I don’t normally care about. I didn’t even know what anxiety was and now I have it. I know the gym is the cause of all of this...

Basically, I will start my routine with doing some basic excersice What I did actually that I don't eat the sugar drink but I turn it to lemon drink yahh and less oil consumption eat more protein

Is there much of a difference between the two? I’m trying to figure out which one I should do, and since I train legs twice a week would it be a good idea to do laying leg curls on my first leg day and seated on the second?

Advice on how to have abs faster

I am struggling somewhat to keep my wrists locked while benching. I was using wrist wraps which helped me with completing heavier sets, but now when I take off the wraps my chest is stronger but my wrists and forearms are not. To improve stability, I am searching for some exercises to isolate the...

I normally alter between hammers and regular DB curls but I got a minor injury where regular db curls irritate my wrists. Despite this, I always enjoyed hammer curls more; any major difference in terms of muscle building? Pictures to compare would be helpful

Wondered whether it made a difference and whether doing it sitting without a back rest coud result in bad form or injury?

Apologies for the wall of text. I hope this is one piece of the puzzle that makes it come together for me. Bear with me - thanks. Ok, I’m debating what to do next. I’ve been working out for a couple years and after making mistakes and other setbacks I’ve kind of figured out what work and what...

Hi All, I'm curious if sit-ups are good for building abs, I'm not looking to lose body fat and that's not what my question is, I just want to know how good sit-ups really are for growing abs. Thanks, Kris

I have sensitive shoulders to a point where the flat bench irritates my shoulder joint regardless if I press with proper form and keep my pulling volume ahead of my pressing volume. For the past month, I only did decline and incline presses (rotating between workouts) to see if it would help my...

For the longest time, I really only did squats and deadlifts with the occasional leg curl for lower body training. Since the last few months of 2019, I took my squat from 285 lbs to 340 lbs. My leg development was fairly decent but in that time period, I simply grew bored of the exercise. Would it...

Once again the workout and exercise forums are kinda dead, so let’s see what exercises y’all would pick if you had to choose 1 lower, 1 upper pull and 1 upper push. Mine would be a trap bar deadlift, hammer chest press and a seated cable row.

My silly free trainer from planet fitness gym has not gotten back to me either my exercises plan. So I'm asking for help here to make me an exercise plan. I have pictures attached on my profile under gallery. My main goal now is recomp. I want to lose fat around waist thus getting low...
