I'm not talking about taking a day off here and there. I'm talking about a scheduled week of lighter than normal training to give the mind and body a break.

That and you use a little swing with your body to complete the rep.
Another row you should check out is a Pendlay row. It's a bent over row with a bar with a dead stop and a complete stretch at...
If you're having tendonitis issues you should look up voodoo floss. A lot of people have used it with success.
This is why I always preach that everyone should schedule a recovery week periodically in their training. Depending on your goals you may want to take them every 4 weeks or instead you may want to...
Kroc Rows are a high rep DB Row where you put a little cheat in them (you can use a little momentum) to knock out high reps. People usually perform 25 or more reps per set.
If you perform the big movements such as deadlifts, bench, OHP, squats, and others you won't have to do things like calf raises or bicep curls. Those smaller muscles will get worked indirectly. ...
Happy New Year. I'll take my play toy with a little more muscle. Don't want to break my toys. ;)
Epsom salt baths other preventative measures help with minor aches and joint soreness. If you have headaches you may want to see if your BP is elevated and if it is you may need to check and see how...
As long as they bust their ass and don't sit around I don't care. If they decide to sit and talk on my platform or squat cage than we'll have a problem.
I actually have a lot of big plans for this coming year so for me 2014 is a big deal. I'm preparing for the LSAT and will be going back to school to futher my education. I plan on accomplishing...
What happened is they decided to run anything and everything to win and set new records. They weren't pretty to begin with so they didn't care what happened to them. April is damn near bald and...
Welcome to MC. Make yourself at home.
It's great to have another strength athlete here at MC. You'll find there are a bunch of us here. Welcome and make yourself at home.
Merry Christmas Everyone.
I wouldn't recommend using a cambered bar when benching. Using dumbbells increase the range of motion of the lift in comparison to a regular bench bar.
Everyone should look up April Mathis. She's the only chick to bench 405 raw. I admire her work ethic but you shouldn't sacrifice everything to put up a WR imho.
You may want to think about investing in a squat cage and a platform. You could hit all you major lifts ie. squat, deadlift, bench, ohp. You can easily grow and get stronger sticking with the...
I'm feeling better... finally.
I'll start posting in here with the new year. Got to get back under a bar and also back on the mats.
How big is the bend? It could be a cambered bar or it could be a buffalo bar.
The bar pitches you forward which makes you really focus on keeping your upper back tight so you don't hunch over and...
I only squat in Olympic shoes......in my Nike Romaleos. I also overhead press and bench in them. The difference is greater than night and day.
Anytime something goes wrong they always blame gear. Look at Chris Benoit (sp?) the wrestler. They blamed the gear for his untimely demise and the killing of his family. No one bothered to talk...
Make yourself at home.
I'll have to check out this C4 Extreme. I've tried Jack3d a couple times in the past and it helped give me that extra "umph" to really push myself. How's it compare to the that?
Glad to hear you made it in one piece.
It's hard to say what you may have done without knowing all the specifics. It sounds to me like you popped the cartilage in between your ribs. It's pretty common with lifters especially if you're...
