    Barbel squats = painful

    Hey guys, Having an issue when doing my barbel squats, my shoulders and arms are not very flexible at all and i struggle to hold the bar as i do my routine. What is a good stretch to do to get my shoulders and arms flexible enough to grip the bar better?

    Russian Weightlifting Champion Mikhail Koklyaev Squats 290kg/639lb With No Hands!

    Mikhail Koklyaev makes easy work of this heavy squat without using his hands. Most people would struggle to put 290kg up using all of their limbs. I’m pretty sure I blew my knee out just watching this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg8D90wUvAo

    Monitoring calorie intake

    For the people that keep a close eye on your calorie intake do you write things down daily or use a spread sheet? I have a list of all the calories and proteins of the food I consume but it is just scribbled down in a note book. And I never get around to working out and adding up all my...

    Which exercise has given you most muscle growth?

    Not really interested in theoretical discussion or what Ronnie/Jay do, I'd like to read people's personal experiences. Which exercise best helped you to develop a particular muscle? For example, "couldn't see any gains on chest/back/triceps until I started doing X".

    Advice on Squats

    My lower back or core seem to collapse forward on my squats even thou its not heavy (60-80kg x 10 reps). I have a solid lower back and core however, and have no issues with dead lifting (150kg 5x5) or on any other lifts. I read possibly because I squat in front of a mirror (location of rack)...

    Overpronation+Squats etc

    How do you guys handle overpronating ankles when squatting, deadlifting or any exercise that puts stress on the knees/ankles. Maybe its not a problem for some but Ive wondered if my feeling of awkwardness when squatting has something to do with ankles caving in. Do you wear sports shoes or just...

    Box Squats

    Decided to give these a go (ultra light for most people here at about 55kg). Placed a low box (the lowest pylo box i could find in the middle of the rack, put the barbell on my back and sat down on the box and got up again... is this roughly correct? I'm also somehow thinking that i wasn't...
