Hi All,
My trainer has me currently doing high-volume to bring up my work capacity and to burn off the fat.
However with deadlifts my forearms and grip is running out of steam halfway through the sets.
I know I have other options but:
1. I don't like alternating grip due to some imbalances, a...

Hi all,
I've been battling a shoulder issue for the last 2.5 months and would appreciate some advice.
I've had an MRI which confirmed a partial (12mm x 4mm) tear of the supraspinatus and some fluid in the bone of the humerous (which is a result of the tear).
I've been doing rotator cuff...

Hang for 30 Seconds, Pull-Up
Hang from a bar for 30 seconds. Aside from grip strength, the hanging test might highlight some shoulder and spinal issues.
Can you do that easily? Good.
Now try this: Hang from the bar for thirty seconds. When the timer rings, do a pull-up.
If you can do that...

So finally started making progress with bench, getting a bit heavier (for me), and starting to see a difference
Then, bloody incline bench, too much too soon and got a twinge in my right shoulder. Stopped, felt ok, took all the weight off and lifted the bar, to try and "feel" what was going on...

About two-3 years ago I broke my collar bone, would this have anything to do with the pain I experience in my left shoulder? It feels like all the muscles are pushing together and overlapping sometimes and it hurts and I have to stop training. Should I keep it light with the bar only until I can...

Hello all,
I'm assisting my gym in selecting new pieces of equipment for later this year.
We've already decided on a new powercage, plate loaded shoulder press and 45 degree leg press.
I'm trying to get us a specific standing calve raise machine. However the only one I can find from Matrix...

Which exercises and techniques do you use to balance out your anterior and posterior shoulders/delts?
Too many dudes focus on the anterior (eg presses, flyes), not enough on the posterior (eg rows, reverse flyes).
What lengths do YOU go to to ensure your shoulder gets worked out evenly across...

How do you train your traps (upper, middle, lower fibers), and with what volume and frequency?
What do you do when you realize your traps are lagging behind?
So my shoulders click, snap and pop when I move them around in wide circles such as in a shoulder dislocation movement with the broomstick (or in a windmill)
They certainly click, snap, and pop when I do warm up exercises such as anterior and lateral rotation with a small weight or dumbell...
