My dad always talked about "selective hearing" when we were younger... I didn't realize just how real it is until I started doing it!

Thanks for the input guys! Yea, I remember Kevin Levrone had the idea that bodybuilding led to superior athletic conditioning; he put his money where his mouth was and challenged a world-class...

So I signed back up with LA fitness; due to different reasons... The main one being equipment thats usually not found in the smaller mom and pop gyms in my area (standing calf raises, shoulder shrug...

Came across this article online.... If I could model my legs after any bodybuilder, it'd be Tom! From the footage I've seen, had a crazy intensity to his leg workouts...

I recently turned 40, so going heavy with less reps is slowly turning into less weight with more reps. Essentially, I'm trying to do "quality" over "quantity" of workouts. The whole mind-muscle,...

Good stuff in there... thanks for posting!

I've been doing all that and still can't get my chest to match the rest of me... God knows I've tried everything else;high volume, heavy weight, barbells, dumbells, changing angles, incline,...

I guess they decided they weren't going to do a so-hot-we-almost-banned-this-commercial theme like in years past... :rolleyes:

A few years back I came across an article somewhere on "Reverse Grip Bench Press". I gave it a shot and while it feels awkward at first at looks a little silly, I couldn't deny how much more it...

I never knew they made such a thing... Just an old-fashioned pair of converse for me for squat day...

We have the cambered bars and safety squat bars. Tried the cambered bar with some low weight on some bench press reps (bad idea) but it puts too much stress on my shoulders... Worked pretty good...

As someone who struggles with reoccurring back issues, get the MRI. With me, the initial pain is followed up by the real pain 2-3 days down the road. IMO it'll better gauge how serious you...

Good point made about having different routines. I usually try to listen to my body, and it's never led me wrong. If I feel like I had a productive workout, I'll remember what worked and what...

Same thing here... used Jacked before every workout for about 3 months straight. Great pre-workout product, but blood work came back elevated. Now and then I'll take an ECA stack when I feel the...

Did a much better job than this guy:

:confused:

Yea, I hadn't thought of shrugs... I'm one of those guys that has a hard time doing shrugs comfortably. Worth giving it a shot. Oh, and I did notice there was a fair amount of dust on those bars...

"my bench press" damn fat fingers!

"Chambered bench bar" ... OK, now i'm getting some hits on google. Sounds like it's got a couple different uses. I may have to give it a try on my next workout. We have one with a deep pocket and...

At the risk of sounding like a dummy, I gotta ask. You know what they say, there are no dumb questions, only dumb people who ask questions... :D

My gym has this barbell thats got a weird shape...

Good stuff... thanks for posting

- Family
(Randomly taking my dad out to a movie or to have my daughter run to meet me at the door, absolutely priceless)

- Job I enjoy working

- The feeling of stocking up the fridge after a...

As a rule of thumb, I'll tell someone to lower the weight if you can't do 6 reps, or add weight if you can do more than 12 reps. Very open explanation, but I've noticed that if I start throwing all...

Well put... Three hours is too hardcore for me ;) ... after my 1-hour workout I don't know if I'm more hungry or sleepy.
