  1. Article: Stop Shrugging Already

    Personally, I've never gotten much out of shrugs. I have a long neck and my traps seem to respond better to SGHP and dead lifts. Shrugs just didn't fit me well but that's not to say I could use some coaching in that area.
  2. Article: The Farmers Walk Does More Than You Know

    Awesome article. I did trap bar walks this morning with trap bar dead lifts. First two sets of walks were for strength with heavy weight and shorter distance; the second two sets were lighter weight with longer distance.
  3. had surgery... can't lift heavy for 3 months... need help!

    I had an emergency apendectomy via laprocopic surgey. I'm not saying to ignore your doctor but I was back lifting after 2 weeks and mountain bike racing 4 weeks later. Chances are if you were strong and fit before your surgey you'll mend very quickly afterwards. The only discomfort I had from my...
  4. Sciatica/Tight Piriformis

    I do a lot of driving for work and spend many hours each day in my car. As a result I've devoloped a tingling pain down my right hip/glute/hamstring and its driving me crazy (pun intended). I'm trying to stretch and foam roll but its been spotty at best. I'm looking for suggestions from you...
  5. Anyone else experience summertime exhaustion

    This thread really hit home today! I was suffering through my back workout and even though my commercial gym has air conditioning it was still hot and humid (I'm in northern Jersey) 90+ degree heat outside. I was dying halfway through and I didn't have much of an appetite afterwards. I find can...
  6. How long till you were happy?

    Content, but never happy.
  7. Article: Dave Tate On Motivation And Stress

    Great article- really hits home.
  8. Squats or Deads

    Well, my deadlift workout went very well and was able to increase my weight/reps. That said, I'm going to take the next couple of days off. ;)
  9. Squats or Deads

    Thanks! Its just some muscle soreness, mainly in the quads. Nothing structural or low back related. Ill do what you suggested and see how the warmup goes.
  10. Squats or Deads

    Figured I'd ask this question here rather than start another thread so here it goes; My thighs are still a little bit sore from Saturday morning's squat workout. I'd like to stay on schedule and deadlift today but wasn't sure if its a wise move. I feel good but have read conflicting articles...
  11. Article: Weighted Carries

    My gym has a trap bar so I loaded it up and did a few sets of 30- second carries. My arms were about to explode but it was a terrific workout.

  13. Critique My Workout? Ectomorph

    I'd get rid of most of the direct arm work in favor of chin ups and dips and standing overhead presses. That will hit your arms and build mass. Worked for me
  14. Full body reverse crunches kick my ass

    This is pretty much the only an exercise I do. And I learned it by watching Sly Stallone do it.
  15. How to hit abs??

    ^^this. I may do body curls once a week but that's about it. If you lift heavy with compound movements your midsection will develop . But a poor diet will cover it up
  16. Tips for Deadlifting?

    This is good stuff. Took me a long time to really "master" the dead lift. I typically do a double overhand outside grip. Some prefer an over/under grip. Some bring their grip inside their stance or outside their stance. Figure out which works for you by experimenting but remember to leave the...

  18. TUT

    I'll do a 2/4 second concentric/ eccentric phase for 4-6 weeks. Works very well. Two seconds up, four seconds down. I usually have to lower my weights by about 25% to accommodate this.
  19. Rear delts

    Snatch grip hits them for me.
