listen to your body - and get specialists to do routine checks on your bone integrity (if possible) - i've heard that by design, our muscles aren't strong enough to break the bones that they originate from, however if your body tells u STOP IM GONNA SNAP, then maybe u should listen to it.

i snapped my humorous in half on my left arm when i was 16 - 17. It was awful and the bone snapped in such a way that the two ends of it were jagged and were constantly cutting my muscle up. Probably the most painful 4 months of my life. I'm 24 now and my left arm is significantly weaker and...

interesting - from a physics perspective, it seems that when u use your shoulders to lift the weight, the weight moves closer to the vertical line that goes through your centre of gravity. This would probably help reduce strain on the stabilizer muscles on your lower back, but your legs would...

well i'm about to get into it - learnin as much as i can right now so that when i do start i am as efficient as possible. I'm 24 years old now and sick and tired of ppl sayin i need to put on weight when i already live a very healthy lifestyle (no drugs, quit smoking a month ago, eat very...

are ROW's an excersize using rowing machines? What is HIT?

well it just seems like it might be a good idea coz u get the benefits os sustained dynamic tension as well as muscle contraction. not thinking of this as a total replacement but maybe it has some uses ? pure speculataion - i'm very inexperienced at weight lifting and have limited scientific...

thought of a new way of lifting - maybe it's been mentioned before but dunno. anyway what do u guys think of this method. doing a *REALLY* slow movement so that it takes like a whole minute to do each movement (both ways so if ur benching it takes 2 minutes for each rep - one minute pushing...

2 questions: 1) if i were to snack on nuts (as part of a bulking diet) would almonds be better than peanuts in all aspects? 2) has anyone heard of vector cereal? Any comments on it?

thanks a lot man! that sounds like really solid advice. About supplements can you elaborate a bit on the multivitamin/amino bit? is creatine worth it? (for a couple months when starting out) there are SO many protein/carb shakes out there i'm not sure what to get - any advice?

i'm laughing out loud reading some of these comments especially the one about the side lats guy looking like a giant bird trying to take flight!

i'm 5 11 and long limbed so i'm aware of the issue . - jnust thought i'd bring it up coz never seen anyone else bring it up.

the most sophisticated machines and computers in existance on earth (unless dolphins/whales/other? beat us in some regard) plus if u believe in god then we got souls to boot :D tis a privelage to be human

something just occured to me - it's probably been mentioned before : anyone who's taken high school physics and knows about pivots/fulcrums and stuff would know that the further away from the pivot the mass is, the more energy is required to lift it. M***^******m (the see saw...

will do - gotta find someone to lend me a digital camera :D :o

well i hope i can make some good gains :) i'm 5 foot 11 and 125 pounds - i'm very athletic and have quite a bit of well toned muscle - if i hadn't played sports when i was young, or lifted weights (we're talking 20 pound dumbell curls and pushups - nothing serious) id probably be 118 pounds or...
