  1. Article: How Arnold Grew His Chest

    Article says lie perpendicular to bench with only shoulders on it. I have always laid my body in the same plane as bench with shoulders thru butt atop the bench (with knees bent and feet on bench). Any difference between the 2 approaches? I find it much easier to pick up dumbbell and lay...

  2. Article: The Roots Of Training

    Probably the best article I have read here in quite a while. I am 67 yrs and have been lifting several times a week for the last 25 years. I have about 2 guiding principles (besides getting my butt to the gym) - keep putting some more weight on the bar and lift it + pain is weakness leaving the...

  3. Article: Stop Shrugging Already

    A few years ago I read of this exercise as an alternative to shrugs and I can feel much more of the traps working using this technique rather than a shrug. Sit at a Smith Machine with the bar at about the upper reach of a shoulder press. Now load up the bar with a weight that is much more than...

  4. Article: Power Vs Strength

    There is some good info in this article and I know 1 short piece cannot cover everything. But some basics might be good. For example, I have never really thought about my lifting but I have been lifting now about 25 years. Basically, I just wanted to remain strong while my contemporaries fell...

  5. On pct, soremess in groin/abdomen, wtf???

    I don't if this helps or not. A few years ago I got into a building project for several months. Lots of carrying heavy stuff up and down stairs. One night I noticed my right nut was swollen and extremely tender to the touch. I kinda freaked out thinking Big C and went to a urologist. He told me...

  6. So why can't I do a BB bench press.

    Hey Guys - Can someone give me a little advice? I have some serious arthritis in my left shoulder. The Dr says "operate!" and I say "No" b/c already had had same done to right shoulder and it's 4 mos+ away from gym to recover and I also lost some strength. So, I will put surgery off forever, if...

  7. Blasting while on TRT

    Thank you all for the advice/help. Looks like I will see Thai Dr and start TU quarterly injections. I will monitor T levels and post here for anyone interested. Thanks again....

  8. Blasting while on TRT

    Can any of you give me some advice regarding T- replacement. (I am 66 and been lifting about 25 yrs and have done about a 2 hour workout 4X/wk for last few yrs.) I have used Androgel regularly for last 7 or 8 years which gives me a good T score. But I am now living in Thailand and my US Dr has...

    Thanks - am just catching up on old articles I didn't have time to read. Next time at gym I will try kneeling vs standing and see how their feel compares...

  12. Article: Coaches On Shoulders

    Can anyone give me a little "Land Mine" info? The guy in the vid is kneeling. I have been doing them as a pec exercise for the past year but I do them standing - and alternating arms after each set. What's the dif kneeling or standing?

  13. Article: Getting The Most From Squats

    Each to his own (body) and I'm not going below parallel because I think the mirrors will shatter when my knees go popping out and into them.....

  14. Article: Principles For Older Lifters

    Good article, good points to keep in mind. I am 66 and one my problems is doing too much. Luckily there haven't been any serious overuse issues. So, it is good to read that a little less might be a lot better. Thanks.

  15. Article: Build Your Own Junkyard Gym

    I see these kinds of pictorials in magazines - the guy dragging a huge tractor tire up some hill with a cityscape below and think "100% total BS" as we'll as nonsense......
