not a bad idea. I will see how my back is feeling on Monday. It may be just fine by that point.

Got to the gym late because I had to fight with the people at traffic court.....I lost, but F it. Squat 135X5 185X5 205X5 225X5 245X5 *My lower back was torched from the deadlift earlier in the week. I actually stopper here. I been having trouble sleeping the last few nights due to my past...

I feel the need to make a point. It is agreed that, yes, deadlift and squats are swesome mass building exercises. No one is arguing this. But what this thread is about is someone that has knee trouble and is restricted to what he can do. He is looking for OTHER ways to accomplish this...

Not sure about that. I know his "wife" and she seems to be genuinely good through and through. I would say, even though I think the whole concept of marriage is usually rediculous, he found himself a keeper. I just can't figure out what she is doign with him-lol

Bunny, I am not saying this to sound like some kind of animal, because I am generally very easy going.but if I was in my training mode and some dude kept getting in my way and then leaning on my bar, I probably would have snapped. I am sure I would have asked him to move first, but if I turned...

The other day I walk onto the gym and laying on the platform is a bar with two 45's on each side and a 100 lb plate on each side as well. It was collared and the little 2 1/2 's were laying next to it....anotherwords, someone had that 2 1/2 there to asist them with loading it. No one was there...

If your nipples are sticking out, you could have some gyno for adolsence. It is somewhat common. Your lower chest should increase in saze as your overall bench increases. I am not sure if I would say certain exercises will really factor in that much. If you are experiencing like puffy nipples...

The cold is finally gone and it was back to feeling good again tonight: Flat bench: 135X5 195X5 225X5 250X5 285X5 Good bench....felt strong and my shoulder felt a little better. 295 next week for 5 will be a bitch...but its gone up! Row- Lower back was sore from deadlifting and I had some...

Yea, but his arms in that photo are sick and that was like the late 60's! They said his bicep heads were so long and so developed that he could not bend his arms fully.....might be BS, but I read it a few times. Anyway, its nice to see someone remembering the old school BB'ers.

Extra Strong- Thats an awesome pic you got there of Sergio. Its hard to believe that dude was that big back then. Probably some of the best genetics of all time.

Everyone has weak bodyparts. As you progress, you will see gains. If you are just starting out, don't get discouraged. Keep building the foundation. Give it at least a year with increasing poundages and lots of food. I promise that if you train hard AND SMART and eat enough for your body to...

Battling this God forsaken cold and I had actually lost my voice all weekend and ate like shit. I figured though, I cannot miss the workout. Here goes: Deadlift: 135X5 225X5 315X5 335X5 335 was hard. My back felt torched after the set. All in all though not to bad for someone that that was not...

Bro, you might have partially torn it long ago....perhaps even as a kid and that is just the way the bicep healed. Its interesting that you say there is some pain involved. That makes me think even more that it is an old injury. Tears can cometimes heal odd and make the muscle look different.

that sounds weird. Perhaps a tear? or a genetic defect in the shape of the bicep? Is there any pain involved?
