[*]dumbshit meme routines like "Starting Strength" or any sort of 5x5. Just loving lift until you're tired. God drat



holy poo poo this. the entire point of lifting is to attack the muscle from different angles in all kinds of rep ranges until failure :respek:

any tips for isolating pecs? even on flys I feel like my shoulders/arms are doing most of the work.

that's because they are ---> http://athleanx.com/best-workout-program-videos/chest-fly-fallacy


dumbbells flys suck and they create zero tension at the top of the movement.


try this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YcANO5d0nA

true, but he makes an actual physiological argument to explain his position.

do you have a physiological argument to counter?

sure, since you asked


My point isn't that the DB fly movement doesn't involve the chest, because it does. However, majority stress of the exercise is felt in the coracobrachialis muscle, which in itself has nothing to do with the development of your chest. I figure that's what the OP was anecdotally inferring.


And since you can't create tension at the top of the movement with dumbbells, you're better off using cables. You'll be able to stack more weight on, in a much safer way.


I'm v sorry if this argument offends you

Since I added squats to back day last week they've been cake. I'll hit that weak-rear end milestone I should have hit eight years ago, in no time. Went for a sixth rep on my last set today and felt a bit of a pain on the right side of my lower back, though, so I elected to cut the workout short after leg extensions because I didn't want to exacerbate by potentially hyper-extending my back doing leg curls. Can't wait for next week.



lol why do people provide descriptive updates of their workouts :psyduck:

so grow a pair and tell them to clear it. when I'm waiting for someone to finish, and the tell me they're done and start to leave I tell them "no you're not" and point to the plates. make them clear the bar. most people at least ask if I want the weights left on or not, and then clear it when I say nah, but when big swinging dick is like "yeah I'm done" you've gotta nut up.
