I really don't need civil instruction from a guy with the screeen name "Need to get ass." No I haven't. I just came across this site several weeks ago. You obviously don't know what you think you know. Don't know who Powered Up is. What exactly was he banned for? Anyway, you do what you have to...

All I said was "Thanks for your permission." Is that any more uncivil than him referring to me as clueless?

Thanks for your permission...:finger:

I eat a shitload of fish. Typically 3 times per day, and it's almost always tuna or salmon - always wild caught (no farm raised fish). I don't eat meat so fish is my primary protein source. Is this okay or is it going to cause some major problems?

Seriously…I'm meeting you half way here. Your example of the rotator cuff was a good one, if indeed is is neglected during heavy overhead pressing. I'd really lie to hear what other stabilizing muscles or smaller muscles groups in general might be neglected during the big lifts. We'll just...

What are some examples of muscle groups that are ommitted during the major compound lifts and can only be targeted with isolation movements? You mentioned the rotator cuff for instance. I would like to see a list of this and then do some research on it. And for the record, the exercises that I...

If you're doing pull-ups and heavy rows as well, why would you attribute the growth to the iso movements rather than the increased overload of the compounds?

The barbell rows (or dumbbell rows) will take care of the rear delts. Pull-ups hit them pretty good too. Don't waste time with isolation stuff because you'll get no additional benefit from it.

I have no problem with incline presses. It's a great exercise for the shoulders and chest. I just take issue with the viewpoint that you can somehow grow your upper chest apart from the middle or lower part of your chest. If you want to focus on the chest, do flat benching and dips. If you want...

Changing the angle of a lift can cause a shift in emphasis on the fibers of certain muscle groups, mainly those with multiple heads such as the biceps, pectoralis, deltoid, etc. HOWEVER that emphasis will NOT result in any variance in the growth or contractile strength of that muscle, with SOME...

You mean flat presses and dips...;)

Any lifts outside of these is probably just a waste of time: Squats Deadlifts Bench Press Overhead Press (standing) Bent-Over Rows Weighted Dips Chins and maybe some core work, although I think your core gets enough work from all of the squatting and pulling...

How exactly am I more opinionated than you? We have 2 opposing opinions on how to train the chest, yet because mine is different than yours then I'm somehow the stubborn one? I think in the real world that is what we call narcissistic. So, the most concetrated part of your quad is at the top...

Totally irrelevant. The chest will still grow overall as one unit, regardless of where you place the emphasis of the load. You're not going to only grow in the "upper chest" no matter how sore you try to make it. All the incline will do is involve more of the shoulders, force you to use less...

Heavy bench press and weighted dips. That will take care of the problem...
