    Clicking Shoulders

    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...

    Warm ups and attempts for deadlift only

    How do people warm-up and plan attempts for a push/pull or deadlift only competition? I just realised I always just add 10kg and get plenty of work in when I train. Never really a focus on the max weight I can hit I just get reps in lol. When I compete, I am already very warm for deadlifts and...

    When is a warmup set a warm up set and when is it a working set?

    I have been wondering when something goes from being a warm up to being a working set. Does anyone have any opinions? If i did 10kg less weight than my intended working sets would that be a warmup or just another working set?
