    Hamstring growth.

    Taking a page from Bret Contreras, you can divide hamstring exercises into 4 types: 1. Semi-straight leg standing hip extension: RDL's, single leg RDL's, and good mornings 2. Straight leg prone and supine hip extension: back extensions, single leg back extensions, reverse hypers, single leg...

    Herder's 2014 Log: All About the XPC Semi's

    I missed this (2x blue bands a side, not just 1 a side) the first time I read it. Damn, that's a crazy amount of tension. That's like a circa-max session

    Dang dog, that's some heavy slag you're throwing around. I still think that pull is very nice. I'd like to see you pull that from the floor soon.

    Reach for an attainable squat number, and aim for the fences with the bench and deadlift.

    I hope that's the case as well. I'd really like to get back to squatting and deadlifting though. Squatting is really going to suck with this new form I'm playing around with. It's no wonder my low back can "take anything" (my knees, glutes, hips, and shoulder, on the other hand, can't, thanks to...

    If you wrap yourself with the wraps pre-rolled with tension, they'll still be very good.

    I'm sure the bolded was my issue. Way excessive for a 400-500 squatter like myself.

    They're still as useful if you "bitch-wrap" them yourself. I sometimes believe I got more out of mine when I self-wrapped than when I had a pro wrapper wrap me (they felt more restrictive than anything and altered my form).

    How much bicep work is too much?

    I've paired biceps with back and with other upper body work towards the end of the workout, and I've paired it with triceps or with legs but at the beginning of the workout. When my biceps were at their best it was when I was able to do one exercise fresh, either because it was one of the first...

    How much bicep work is too much?

    I have to be honest, my best bicep growth was when I had a dedicated arm day (triceps and biceps, though I used a lot of compound movements for triceps) and/or when I did biceps before the rest of my workout. When I combined biceps with back, the growth stopped. When I do biceps at the end of a...

    Agreed with Country. When I deadlift, my leg drive is all about driving directly through the ground, sort of like when you think about a leg press.

    Mark Wahlberg is a terrible actor

    Mark is a very hit or miss actor, especially in his middle years. I've seen a few no-name movies he's been in which have been nothing short of terrible. He single handedly ruined "Planet of the Apes." It might have been an ok movie had he not been in it. That said, as many mentioned, Shooter...

    Thanks man. I'm also glad about the shoulders. I feel I'm getting better session to session. The day I can do other movements like dips, cgbp, and db benching, I'll be satisfied.
