    How does this program look?

    I'm gonna move from my bro split of chest/arms/legs/back to what I think is the smarter split of push/pull/legs. This is what I've come up with lemme know where to change. PUSH 1: dumbbell press 4x8 2: incline bench 3x8 3: flies 4x8 4a: shoulder press 4x8 4b: lateral raises 4x6 5: tricep rope...

Well, 90-year-old Vern from Florida recently put us all to shame when his son recorded him doing pull-ups on his birthday.

    Misdirected energy

    We've all seen some crazy weights been lifted by some very strong Olympic weightlifters; I'm referring to squatting here. You see a middleweight (75kg) weightlifter back squatting something like 290kg the way he just squatted 150 or 200kg. Great so where is this post heading? The point here...

    A horrible ripping sound

    The day before yesterday, I went to do some pull-ups - the kind where you grab the bar from behind, palms facing you - and as I started, there was this horrible ripping noise* from inside of the elbow of my right arm. It definitely sounded (and felt - although the pain wasn't much) as though...

    The Deadlift is not a Pull with Richard The Ant Hawthorne

    Some good tips by someone with an incredible body weight to weight lifted ratio. Got deadlifts tonight, so will see if the advice helps.

    Pull ups

    Hey all. I'm trying to get to the level of a fully fledged pull up. I'm currently on 40kg on the assisted pull up machines. So how do you know when you are ready to move onto the resistant band? I'd imaging there are some stability muscles that aren't being worked on the assisted pull up machine.
