    [Article] Substitute for face pulls

    There are heaps of exercises you could do that would help shoulder health but not necessarily mimic facepulls. Frankly they're a rear delt exercise foremost and not really ideal for increasing shoulder health. From the stuff you've suggested you clearly have some idea of what's involved...

    Haha, thanks! I think it helps to understand the reasoning behind something for trainees though. But you're right.

    Ab Workout?

    When I'm a member of a gym I do weighted crunches on the cable or pull down machine. Here at home I do plank variations.

    STFU i want guns...

    Man everyones biomechanics and ergonomics are different, that's why some people will get good arm growth from rows etc and some won't. Add in physiological and biochemical individualities, as well as perception (what is 'big'?) and you're simply going to need to find what works for you. Having...

    STFU i want guns...

    Volume, frequency and direct work are what makes big arms. 2 - 3 times a week, all angles, low / moderate / high rep work. There's never been a BB win a show that relied on deads and chins - so train like a winner.

    Low Bar Squat

    Kettlebells are a waste of money. Use a dumbell or plate or two with fingers through the holes or in a pinch grip and UDL away. I can't even believe how much gets charged for lumps of metal in the shape of a kettlebell. Christ, mix some concrete up in a bucket and stick a u shaped piece of metal...

    No, different person. I won't identify her. She's a lovely person but no fucking clue about life or health. Heavy weed smoker too.

    The Biggest Loser - 2011

    One of my good friends was on the show two or three seasons ago. You're absolutely right about the time manipulation - it takes 2 weeks to film 1 week of the show. Incidentally she's since put back on all the weight she lost, plus a bit more.

    The Biggest Loser - 2011

    The jokes on them - they got fat and unhealthy, then went on a tv show and made themselves vulnerable - whereupon I ridiculed them. Then the majority put back on some or all of the weight they lost, because they never really committed to it by taking responsibility and changing their lives...

    Upper lower 3 day split

    Like you say: Upper , lower , upper. Lower , upper , lower. Use bench and mil press as your two main upper lifts, and squat / dead as your two main lower, alternating days. So upper 1 you'd bench, plus other (perhaps dumbell shoulder press etc. Upper 2 you'd mil press, plus other (perhaps...

    What is YOUR breakfast!

    Yeah it's weird, because often if I wake up for a piss or something i'm really hungry and could easily eat. But first thing in the morning solid food in my mouth just makes me gag. Only theory I have is peaking cortisol levels that time of the morning.

    What is YOUR breakfast!

    400ml fullcream milk, 1 banana, 2 dessert spoons of unflavoured WPC, a bit of milo. Blended. It's 5.15am, i couldn't eat real food if I tried.

    Can front squats replace normal squats?

    If you enjoy front squatting and it doesn't cause you pain just do it and hit your hammies and glutes with SLDL and lunges. You don't want to compete and you can end up just as, if not stronger and bigger. Doesn't matter how you get there....
