    The truth about abs - stop doing crunches

    Actually, those lifts don't stimulate the muscle enough to induce hypertrophy (I can dig up the research somewhere if you want it). I recommend something like cable crunches which is a good spinal flexion exercise. Hanging leg raises involve hip flexors too much

    Bent Over Rows - How Do You Do Them?

    Yea.. I really dislike them. I think in terms of lat activation and biomechanics, a supported dumbbell row is up there.. i also really like hammer strength iso-lateral low rows and high rows, along with cable rows, and the hammer strength iso-lateral adduction one. i also don't go past...

    flyes:Do you do them?

    The LifeStyle fitness ones under hammerstrength are pretty decent, allowing iso-lateral movement

    flyes:Do you do them?

    Gravity. But I still don't understand how a DB fly would be superior to a cable movement? Of course the bottom of a DB fly is going to have more tension, but wouldn't this make it an inferior choice if tension isn't uniform throughout the whole movement?

    flyes:Do you do them?

    um how does the resistance change with cables? tension is constant through the full range of motion tension changes with DB's because the path is cicular and the moment arm changes with the arc so cables > db fly

    Preference for Chest Workout-Barbell or Dumbbell

    I do BB flat because I want to get stronger in that lift. But, I prefer a DB press with a SLIGHT incline. then a cable fly at the opposite angle. cable fly > DB fly

    Who here front squats?

    Why wouldn't they? They're still the prime mover in the movement
