I rarely stretch except when I work my lower body. Recently I started lifting a lot heavier and I'm constantly getting cramps, especially during bench press. A friend told me I have neglected stretching which could make a difference. I was just curious because I've never had any problems before?
Just curious if stretching is required for training? Im looking to be an all around better athlete. What are the advantages other than the obvious flexibility?
Thanks!
I'm constantly on the move whether I'm working 12 hours a day 7 days a week or something else. I have very little time to prepare meals in advance and when it comes to working 3rd shift I can't order anything with any nutritional value during lunch/break. Anybody have any recommendations for...
Is there a problem with people posting issues or questions about programs? It seems other users come in here posting saying if there's a problem use a different program or blah blah. Didn't know we weren't allowed to discuss issues. Just an observation from a new set of eyes.
Couldn't agree more! I found myself reading through it over and over looking for a clear cut answer. I hate trial and error but that seems to be the only way to be successful. I finally just chose my template and I'm going to use assistance work that has worked in the past along with some new...
Some of the book is difficult to understand. I have to keep going back to certain sections of the book because it sounds like he is contradicting himself. I bought the 2nd edition book instead of the original hoping it would have more updated info. The assistance work was the biggest issue. I...
I'm not looking for a bodybuilding routine. I was just wondering if there were advantages of working certain muscles with others instead of the push/pull method.
I actually started this thread because I see workout logs where people are working biceps with chest for example. I don't see any advantage to that? I've always done the push/pull kinda split so I was curious.
That's the plan, I just didn't want to start out too low and waste a week. So far I think I have everything down. I just need to get a couple waves in of my new routine and then I'll get started. I was curious about when to take the UD. Should the dosage be split up throughout the day, before...
Until today I didn't even know that the bench press is not a chest movement and I really still don't understand how it's not but you guys obviously know more than I do so I will take your word for it. The plan for the rest of the week is just like you said though, to figure out my true maxes and...
I agree as well. The frustrating thing is that there is so much assistance work out there that it's difficult to judge what works best when it's almost impossible to have tried everything. I guess that's where experience comes into play.
