Last fall, a few of us took part in a competition/collaborative effort where we uploaded our lifts and challenged each other to greater progress. It was fun, and to the best of my knowledge all of us made improvements. My squat is finally out of pathetic territory but still needs a lot of work...

So I was watching a video and the guy said that once you can do about 10-20 push-ups you’ve gained all the mass (chest) your going to get from it and anything after you’re just building endurance. I’ve also heard that if you add weight to your push-ups this puts you back into gaining muscle...

Like a lot of people, I'm stuck at home trying to make what little equipment I have work. Looking online for good leg workouts, it seems like most routines are full of redundant exercises. 3 sets of squats, then 3 sets of lunges, then 3 sets of one legged squats, etc. Seems like they're all...

I'm doing the 10k kettlebell swing challenge and I've done 2500 so far. Is it normal to feel some lower back tightness? For me it creeps in halfway through a workout, other than that it feels fine between workouts. I just want to make sure I'm not at risk of injury.

Would kettlebell swings be a good movement at the end of a lower body day on an upper/lower split for supersetting as an ab movement with calves? I've been doing ab rollouts with an ab wheel on those days, but thought of maybe adding kettlebell swings instead as a finisher, or would it be too...

Does the hinged "fulcrum" of a T-Bar row result in any significant difference of stimulus than a normal Pendlay row? The only immediate thing that comes to mind is that a barbell row is going to stress the whole posterior chain more since you have to maintain a static hold to anchor the weight....

I train the the morning basically fasted. One clementine is all I have and like a sip of water. The past weeks I have been fine but this morning was a difffent story. I was mid set for triceps push downs and felt my heart start pounding and then I felt really light headed. I stopped and literally...

I have 2 back days, both include lat pulldowns, both wth different grips. I usually do my lat pulldown before my rows, should rows come before pulldowns? Or one day rows before pulldown and pulldown before row?

My friend is having a hard time activating her glutes while doing barbell hip thrusts. As we've increased the weight, it feels like her other muscles are taking over and so we've lowered the weight. We've investigated this problem via articles and videos, but I was wondering if I could get any...
