    Force USA Power Rack

    The one thing I've noticed is that the lat pull attachment to the F-PC is much more difficult compared to a regular lat pulldown at a commercial gym. I used to use 100kg on mine and I'd say it would be equivolent to 280lbs+. For reference my best bw nuetral grip chins is 22 at 93kg. Also using...

    phosphatidic acid the new creatine?

    Oh and seeing that it's based on a glycerol backbone, if it does get produced as a supplement it'll probably be banned pretty quick if it's found to mask or act as a diuretic.

    Rowing form.

    Yeah the guy in that video is Bill Hartman, really great to listen to. It's great that you've identified the problem man! Shorten down that rowing ROM coupled with some pec/shoulder mobility work and that shoulder issue should be gone in no time. As far as upper back strength stick to...

    Which Machine?

    Pretty sure he's not joking... Since joining in January you've gone through 4 different program's, getting opinions on them each time lol. Like your 5x5 for everything program. "5 x 5 Failures It wasn’t the program’s fault, genius. It was your own! If you’re running a 5 x 5 program that...

    Dianabol 10mg

    I didn't know there was a free copy out? Not to sound like a cheap ass, $57 is a little too much for me to pay for one book. 500 cals :eek: ? What size teaspoon are you using man?! :D

    Fibula/Calf/Hammy Problems

    I'm assuming that's your left leg? Part of the hamstring inserts right onto the head of the fibula. Which could be what we're looking at. But as you said it's not a great photo, and when anything is protruding where it shouldn't it's probably best to see someone in person. Good luck with it...

    Basic Home Gym

    Same, I can get picky at times lol. But the gap is pretty good on my bench, plus it's a little longer so I can set up the way I want without my ass falling in the gap. They have the old school plates in Aus, but they're expensive. $4+ per kg.

    Basic Home Gym

    Fair enough. Just found it a little strange lol The Commercial Force Rack or the Standard Rack? Think the latter is about $700 ish.

    Asymmetric gains

    Oni got it spot on, but there's more to it. Every person will have one of three types of scapula, with varying shapes. Type I has the most space and these people can generally do any shoulder movements, upright rows and BTN presses, and not get fucked up. Type III has the least space, and these...

    Asymmetric gains

    For the most part the upper traps elevate the shoulder blade. Middle traps retract the shoulder blade. Lower traps depress the shoulder blade. Then upper traps, lower traps and serratus anterior work synergistcally to upwardly rotate the shoulder blade (overhead press). The hunched over look...

    Basic Home Gym

    For that price its very good. Probably would've got it if it was available when I bought my rack. Their old model was just a single chin bar and I didn't like it. They updated the dip bars and J hooks as well. For the bench, do you already have an FID? If not then go for the AFSID for $345 or...

    Asymmetric gains

    There are upper, middle and lower parts to the trap. All have different functions. The Upper traps are responsible for shrugs. I thought you were a back man too Joe? :p

    Asymmetric gains

    The best coaches and the top benchers in the world advocate this position for the upper back. You are neither. And not all the coaches are PL coaches (Defranco. Cressey, Staley, Robertson, Smitty). Retracting and depressing the scapulae while bench pressing is the safest and most efficient way...

    Personal experiences with muscle memory

    The biggest things that will affect your comeback are your training age and the consistent training time put in before your layoff. A lifter with 5 years of consistent gym work will regain their previous levels of strength/mass quicker than a 10 month Noob with 6 months of serious training. It...

    Which Machine?

    I was stuck between leg press and seated row. Both have made an impact by increasing safety in exercises where there are other limiting factors. Even though back is my favourite bodypart to train, the Leg Press squeaks it out for me. Allowing to smash your legs into the ground without the risk...
