^ phoneposting so can't link to a specific program atm but my suggestion would be to mainly work within the 10-15 rep range with moderately challenging weights and focus on getting a good pump. There are heaps of ways to structure a workout, and often the plan you enjoy most and will be able to stick to is the best answer. For example, right now I'm personally liking combining bis with tris, shoulders with back, chest solo, legs solo. If I get bored, every so often I'll change it up. I mix 10 mins of abs in 3 times a week also. Key is to do stuff you enjoy and lift until you're gassed. Best of luck

Chinatown posted:also last night at the gym this dude was doing standing curls with a 100lb barbell and it was about 50lb too heavy for him and he looked like he was about to pull his back lol those are twink curls step 1: select dumbbell way too heavy for you step 2: flail arms & thrust back outwardly step 3: allow for 3 inch ROM on the way back down. if you reach 90 degree parallel with the floor you've gone too far repeat til you quit gym (usually 1-2 weeks)

The thing about good mornings is that it's actually a good exercise in terms of the general movement patterns BUT so many people lack the thoracic extension to do them properly. Row variations are safer imo. If you're flexible though go nuts

Pon de Bundy posted:if you curl a 25 lb weight a ton instead of doing progressive heavier bicep curls ..will you just get really veiny biceps ? What happens if you do tons of reps with relatively low weight ? this is very general advice but you absolutely should be progressively working most muscle groups across a spectrum of low/heavy weight (4-7 reps), medium/moderate weight (8-12 reps) and high/lightweight (15-25 reps) ranges.

sassassin posted:I'll watch this later, but it's not wrist pain, it's elbow pain that's triggered when I flex my wrist. I've had this before. In my experience, elbow and wrist pain are usually interrelated (one overcompensating for the other). The reason I linked the above video is because it details a variety of methods to adjust your grip to alleviate the pain, including bench press and others.

Dum Cumpster posted:How would results his clients got before becoming his clients help his sales? It doesn't, if that's the case. But he can theoretically publish a bunch of numbers in an article to attract new clientele, right? I generally like Greg Nuckols and his website and tbh I doubt this is actually a sales pitch article. That said, Greg Nuckols is outta his goddamn mind posted:The difference in strength per month of training (not exactly rates of progress since these data were cross-sectional, but probably a good proxy) seem about right based on what I’ve seen from people who manage their own training, but they’re considerably smaller than you could expect if you hired a competent coach early in your lifting career. just lmao. really dude?  In any case this is in no way shape or form a controlled study, and there's no method to determine the reliability of the results.
