I hardly ever dump a weight unless in a pinning predicament or emergency like a muscle cramp or injury in progress. I manage to rack them or if I have a spotter, have him take the dbs from me. The only time I dump a weight on a frequetn basis is during a super heavy deadlift to save the back from ov...

the shoulder has three different areas , front, side and rear. They all three need to be worked equally especially to avoid muscular imbalance. The front head usualy sees most of the action even thru indrect work during the chest presses while the side and rear deltoids are usually lacking. Overhead...

sounds to me that you might need to incorperate stretching moves into your routine after you work out or in between sets. This keeps the body limber thru its natural ROM (range of motion). Just make sure you are warmed up before you stretch and never use ballistic (bouncing) moves, instead use stati...

I have to agree with kenny here...keep the swiss ball for an addition to your ab work and use a stable platform for pressing moves. If you want to concentrate on balance, put your feet on the end of the bench, at least the bench is stable and you can drop your feet to the floor if you get to unstead...

I have to side with hoosegow on this post....lift heavier. If you want to do straight sets like posted, that is fine, but if not, you can always do progressive increased resistance... basically the 10-8-6 rep scheme. If you cant go to failure on some exercises, going to a heavier weight will make up...
there is a difference between adaptation and stagnation. When a body gets used to something it adapts and thats not always a bad thing. You can always promote growth by changing the amount of weight you use or the number of reps preformed on a given exercise w/o having to radically change your routi...

Maybe by the time he gets to his heavier sets, his shoulder is warmed up? I know my shoulders complain like that before Im properly warmed up. I adjust my grip in or out to work around that particular problem and that takes care of the issue. Rotate the position of the bench press in yoru workout li...

Keeping this as a friendly discussion... I was refering to learning how to control yoru body during an explosive movement or even a bound lift, NOT the deadlift in general. I totally agree that no form is compromized IF the lifter controls the weight on any lift. Big if.... As for learning the deadl...

regardless of what fred hadfield says, ( no lemming here) and ( as one professional opininon to another) I still dont agree with bouncing the weight off the floor just to get momentum thru a sticking point. There are several approaches to training thru sticking points like rack pulls, half reps, gra...
