I was doing incline dp presses in high school and my workout partner left his db on the floor. When I got done with my set, I lowered them pretty fast and sandwiched my finger between the two db's, splitting my finger wide open and needing stiches. Another time in hs, I was squating below...

You might not be taking enough time to recover. I tore my bicep in Nov, had surgery Dec 2nd and I just got the ok from the doc to do light arm work. I would imagine with the pec being a bigger muscle, that it would need a lot longer to have that tendon adhere to the bone.

I liked Bob Paris for his symetry back in the day, but now I like Poundstone or Jim Wendler.

Good Lord! That is awesome! Haha!

By looking at the small pics, looks like you're bigger than that Zach guy. More muscle mass is what I mean. Sounds like your gf is a little shallow. Tell her to keep quiet and get back in the kitchen :)

That was painful to watch.

Next time try a local gymastics gym. I found a kiddie gymastics place that sold some to me.

I just got an email from them regarding this. Wish I could afford to do this right now.

What gives out is the muscle nn the top of the forearm. I've been dealing with some sort of tendonitus in it and it kills me on the heavier weights. I can pull the weight up to my stomach on my left side but my right(with the tendonitus) side, my arm just hurts like hell to bend it. I'd use...

I'm not a expert by any means, but as far as your squat, I'd say focus your stare a little lower. I find it easier to squat lower if I'm looking at the floor about 4' away from me. As far as the DL's, narrow your stance and grip(a tad more than shoulder width) and don't arch your back at the...

I have EM. In fact, those are the ones I'm doing. How do you keep progressing upward guy?

Thanks guys! I'll give your ideas a shot. I want to row big numbers.

Always! Even the "trainers" do it with their clients. Have to step over them, around them, watch out for their kicks just to load the bar.

Hey guys, I've been doing the 5x5 and when it comes to the rows, I've stalled out. I'm at 230lbs but I am always having trouble with the last 2 or 3. The other lifts I'm doing fine progressing upward. Is there any assistance lifts I could do to get my rows up? Thanks. Jeff

Which exercise is the best? Seated or standing?
