    targeting biceps

    I'd just like to add that my comments in this thread have generally been tongue in cheek, but there's also some truth in my feelings towards the importance of biceps curls. Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk

    Sounds like what's known as a "circle jerk"...:p

    90 Day Challenge Photos.

    Well, I've been getting better at nearly everything in every workout. After tonight's workout I expect to have the following: 3x8 Bench Press 62kg to 67kg = +5kg 3x10 Rear Squat 90 kg to 102kg = +12kg 3x8 Bent Row 40kg to 65kg = +25kg (though 40kg was just starting weight, because I didn't...

    The pro squat, anti curl movement is gathering momentum! Soon we'll all be paying out people with huge legs and no upper body, like sprint cyclists.

    I am half joking. I curl, but all it does is pump my arms up. They get bigger I suppose, but not much stronger. Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk

    targeting biceps

    I do them anyway, but it's more of an afterthought. Like crunches or eating healthy.

    targeting biceps

    Destroy the establishment! Curls are for curl bros. Curls and bench press are the two exercises the machine monkeys do when they accidentally wander into the free weights area. Honestly I feel a little bit embarrassed doing curls. There's no way to do them and not look like a poser. Maybe...

    Beginners program

    Hey bozodos; Good to hear you've had success with this programme. Do you have a log? What weights did you start with? How long has it taken you to get to where you are now?

    improving squats and deads 5x5 hitting wall

    I thought people tended to be stronger on their non-preferred leg.. As someone who has a bias toward kicking with my right foot I know I'm definitely stronger at lunging with my left leg. When jumping off one leg I would tend to jump off my left... Left leg jumping preference seems to be common...

    improving squats and deads 5x5 hitting wall

    I'm no expert, but I kinda agree.. Squats and deadlifts are easy to chicken out of. Even with a light weight it can feel like you've done a lot of work, I reckon this sticking point is all in the head. Assuming current form is ok, I'd stick another 10kg on, do a rep and if it's ok do another...

    I'm surprised no one has said they want more mirrors...

    Garage Training for my wife and me...

    I'm just a novice, but I think the most important thing is sticking to the routine until you meet certain goals or for a pre-set period of time. Doing the same routine 3+ times per week might seem boring, but SS and the PTC routine etc have been designed by people who know a lot more than us...

    What equipment or supplements have you wasted money on including gimmick stuff?

    Well I suppose a gym is what you make of it. This gym was just too focused on profit. They had all their nice shiny machines and equipment which made it look attractive, but once they sign you up there's no support, no care. They don't want people to use the gym, as long as you keep paying your...

    What equipment or supplements have you wasted money on including gimmick stuff?

    This is a good topic, in the fitness "industry" it can sometimes be hard to sort the scams from the good stuff. I'd say that generally anything on an infomercial is junk. Broscience can be harder to filter through because sometimes there's a bit of truth to it. I feel whey and creatine are...

    No weight difference for me, but I guess that's my goal. Change in appearance will come with building muscle/strength. I've got a feeling I don't have the best routine for doing well in this comp, but maybe next time I'll have a little more focus on aesthetics. Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk
