To answer the question, I’d choose 3 exercises out of reverse crunch, hanging leg raises, decline crunch, ab wheel or cable crunch, and do 3 sets of each, working up to like 20 reps each set. I like to do at least one “abs from the bottom” and one “abs from the top” movement just to cover the angles. I guess also prepare to have to cut pretty hard if you want actual definition

Abs I have always found recover pretty quickly, so I end up doing them two on, one off (on my 4 day split). Just hit it on days when you feel they're recovered sufficiently to get through it I guess? edit: also it's nice to rotate the exercises out from time to time, to keep things fresh.

I have golfer’s elbow and found that regular rehab exercises with a flexbar were the key to managing it (I do em 3ish times a day every day) but there are also a host of sleeves you can get to give extra support, or look into an ArmAid for a self forearm massage. I get brutal knots in about 6 specific spots in my forearms/triceps so I try and massage these daily with a hard massage tool, although I’m not sure if this will translate to tendinitis

Most preworkouts cap caffeine at 350mg because apparently more than that has a vasoconstriction effect which is bad for pumps. Although I’d assume it ultimately depends on your weight and, like, whether you care about pumps.bird with big dick posted:How does it work on, uh, other areas?

drat those look pretty rad. Can you drop plates off them without putting them back in the holder? like say if you were doing a bunch of side delt raise dropsets could you just eject plates all over the place like spent magazines

nooneofconsequence posted:I started working in close, neutral grip dumbbell floor press at the end of my chest days after seeing it in a Juji vid (I think they said they got it from Meadows). It’s been good but nothing special, and I’ve only got to 40s with few interstitial weights. The past month I’ve been super setting it with close grip paused bench so my triceps are toast first and omg it’s so good. Every part of my pec is sore. I’m using light weights, too, and I still typically fail the 5th set. That’s my golden tidbit, thanks for listening. I’m going to try exactly this superset, thanks.

I wanna get back on my upper body dammit! I missed all the cold weather. Yo get a theraband flexbar (the green one, most likely) and google an exercise/stretch called the reverse tyler twist. Doing these a few times a day has kept my golfer’s elbow in check enough for me to go hard on the lifting again, it’s like loving magic Edit: for extra credit you can use the lacrosse ball, hard massage tool or Armaid to poke out your triceps/forearm knots which provides some extra relief if you have super tight muscles

I quite like: - lat pulldowns but using two of those soft nylon single handles, with a supinated grip in front of you and squeezing at the bottom for a second or two. - old school dumbbell pullovers but attach a band to it and keep going to below chest level (hard to explain, there’s a meadows/milos video on it) - cable rows using the lat pulldown wide bar and making sure to lean forward and stretch to all gently caress at the bottom of each rep

On holiday atm and managed to hit 4 days in a row yesterday because of a nearby community centre gym full of old school Apex machines. Thought the pin loaded leg press would suck but I managed to coax some decent range of motion out of the seat and it's actually pretty sweet on 20+ rep sets. Downside: having to work in imperial. The gently caress is a "lb"????

2-3 sets of machine fly concentrating on getting a good contraction (pause and flex in the shortened position for a moment) 2-3 sets of DB fly (or incline DB fly) pausing in the stretch position for a moment. Bend your elbows, no one cares, just get that stretch. Or like 2 sets of DB twist press on about 60% of what you’d use for a DB bench press, making sure to go slowly and really flex the living poo poo out of your pecs on every rep. Keep a slow negative and make sure you feel it in your pecs through the whole ROM. Add dropsets in later weeks of your training cycle.
