deads the day before squats aint a good idea. try to either change your split or alternate deads and squats each week

reverse pulldown? meaning palms facing you? probably the worst back exercise i can think of. your other choices arent to great either. think about this: deadlifts bb rows underhand,close grip rows T-bar/longbar rows wide grip pulldowns how do you plan to do a STANDING preacher curl? youre...

after deads i cant do any other back work worth sh!t. not bb rows not pulldowns, nothing. even if i use a weight belt and put less weight on the bar i still cant row anything near my normal reps, and i cant even feel my lats working which i can if i dont deadlift that day. i train my back...

i wonder how many other people have wasted time following Arnolds book, that bast@rd. since i train at such high volume and intensity i need plenty of rest so i take GABA (damn that sounds like an ad doesnt it?) i think it reallly helps me sleep better at night. you can get over a month's worth...

heres what ive been taught in Pai Lum Kung Fu: your hips are invloved in leads punches as well. just think of your opposite hip bone pushing foreward against your lead hip bone as you shift your weight onto your lead foot. try to get your timing/sequence down first. feet, knees, hips...

my forearms are terribly weak and small, in case of overtraining i tried not training them at all which didnt work. so now im back to training them again. an experienced natural lifter that i know suggested that i do some forearms work right before my last meal of the day to give them...

thanks everyone for the responses. i think i will add in some lunges. have any of you seen Lee Priest's video 'The Blond Myth'? he does lunges with one leg foreward one back then just bends at the knee without stepping each rep. should i do it this way or steping out each rep? if steping...

inner/mid quad size is one of my strong points but ive noticed recently that my outer sweep isnt that great and i think theyll look much larger if i improved this area. heres my current leg routine which is done once a week full squats 5x5 box squats 2 sets lying leg curls 2 abductor machine...

bump for the guys w/ shoulders rolled forward and the tucked hips. i got the same sh!t plus my traps are waaaaaay to fukin big for the rest of my body and my shoulder blades stick out like crazy.

do you set the weight fully on each rep or just tap the floor?

i do... thats my main goal. i add 5lbs to smith military each week then bb military the next and so on.

bump?

do not do cardio right after or before weight training. youll be taking the nutrients your body needs to build muscle/recuperate and using it for cardio energy which makes no sense. plus how long does it take you to do the weight routine? if that takes about an hour + 20-30 minutes of cardio...

are you lifting every other day or M W F? why dont you go to failure? did you drop the rest pauses? if so why? i wouldnt move shoulders to day 2 because that would mean they would be trained every 'on' day (from chest on day 1) i tried DC a month or 2 ago and i just didnt gain as fast as i...
