Best substitute for standing OHP (low ceiling)
Hey guys, i plan to buy some equipment. The problem is the ceilings of garages and basements are usually only 2.2 metres in Germany. What would you do as a main exercise then? - Seated OHP without back support (could be dangerous for the lower back) - Seated OHP with back support or maybe the Sots p...

Tell me, if it works.
Re: Desk Job
Take a tennisball and roll it with your whole foot over the ground while sitting. It's good for hamstring flexibility.

Squat Depth - Could Hip Extension be the problem?
I can't squat ATG. I think my ankles are not the problem. So it must be the hips or adductors. But i think my hip flexion is also good. Could the problem be my hip extension? Is hip extension important to hold the torso upright in a deep squat position? i don't understand completely why hip extensio...

Re: Disturbance while squatting in power rack
In my gym only the people in the morning ask. But now i also train in the afternoon sometimes and then there are some people who don't ask.
Have to find a way to keep the idiots away. Maybe i gonna place my towel over the pull up bar haha.

Disturbance while squatting in power rack
How do you deal with people who start doing pull ups behind you at a power rack while you are squatting in it?

Re: tabata for HIIT ?
Losing fat is all about your caloric deficit. So just figure out, if you burn more calories with Tabata or LISS. I would always go for LISS, cause it's easier to recover from it.

Re: So I screwed my back again...
The proverbial paleoman didn't squat with heavy weight cause he didn't have a barbell. How do you perform your Back Squats? High bar should work for everyone. Otherwise just stick to Front Squats, although they are not as good overall as Back Squats are. Another hint from me is to perform 3 light se...

Re: When does cardio become detrimental to strength gains?
It depends on how challenging the runs are for you. If you increase your cardio, it can happen that you won't be recovered enough at a workout day for squats, for example. But after some weeks or months your body will adapt and you will be fully recovered on workout days. Of course there is a traini...

Re: Beginner wanting to get big! Feedback respectfully reque
@cliftonmueller:
The routine doesn't look bad, but machines are machines.
i researched your home gym on google and my recommendation is to sell it and invest in a barbell. a barbell gives you more benefit with the exercises, which crow mentioned, than all the machine exercises.

Re: In Season Lacrosse Player
I think the best would be Squat Bench Press Deadlift Everything high intensity and low volume. How would hight intensity and low volume be good for in season? Especially on the Deadlift. Just do 5 reps with ramped up sets at 75%, 85% and 100% of your 5rm at every exercise. You will get used to it a...

Re: Squat Form Check
Depth is good. You should stop that move with your butt. Why are you doing it?
And you shouldn't squat with running shoes, tha's not healthy. Better buy yourself Adidas Powerlift 2.0 or some weightlifting shoes.

Re: Training Deadlift and Overhead Press only
That's true and i know it, but it doesn't answer my question about the deadlift and the squat.
