Nothing, tho I'll probably start using a belt for squats (my back's still f-ed up from the last time I did em over a month ago)

Usually at least 60 mins.

I used to do 110 but I've switched to preacher curls; I feel a lot more in control doing preacher curls than BB curls, but I'm probably just pussin out here

I really feel it from preacher curls and BB curls. I've also read that preacher curls are good because they work the muscle that's under your main bicep which will make your arm swell up and will improve your peak.

Cool, thanks for the info, I've got the same low-arch deal going for me too, I'm looking mostly at shoes for moderate pronators, NB seems to have a lot of street cred in this area.

Thanks a lot for all the replies, I'll definitely put your advise to good use. I'm liking what I've read about the NB shoes and I'm thinking of trying the New Balance 854s or the New Balance 805s. I'll probably stop by a Foot Locker or Sports Authority to see how they feel before I buy them...

Hi, I've always gotten shin splints when I start a running routine. I was wondering if anyone uses a particular shoe model to reduce shin splints, or if anyone has any advice on this. Thanks, UG

I had a lot of tricep growth when I started doing dumbbell kickbacks: http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/Triceps/DBKickback.html I definitely feel the burn doing these. Thaibox, thanks for the "elbows back" advise, I've been doing skull crushers and couldn't figure out why I wasn't feelin...

I had sort of the same problem about three weeks ago, I think it was a rotator cuff injury. Yours sounds more serious than what I had which only hurt when I lifted something or moved it the wrong way. I didn't do any lifting for about 8 days and then started off with some stuff that didn't...

Yeah, I've thought a little about this myself. I'm sure I'd always be aiming to improve on *something* though I hope that someday I'd be satisfied with how I look (that day is long off, however :king:)

Hey, congrats! I just hit the 225 max myself, I hope to be repping it by mid-summer. Keep it up man!

I sorta had the same experience as Louden, I did flies for years without any noticable gain in chest size. Once I started seriously pressing (and especially with incline db press) there was definite growth. Just my experience, it could be different for you, though I recommend pressing...

Cool, thanks a lot guys, I think I've about run out of excuses not to train my abs -UG

Hey all, This being my first post I'd like to thank everyone that posts on this board, I've learned a lot in my few weeks here :) I have a question about ab development ... my abs are pretty bad in terms of shape: It looks like I have a five-pack with one side looking normal and the other...
