What exactly are dynamic stretches?

I have heard it is the most critically acclaimed show of all time, and if you check it on IMDB it has the highest rating of any show I can find on there. That said, I have never watched it myself!

Hmm...so...do you think those numbers are somwhat normal then?

1 - This is just my opinion, but it isn't a good idea to work out more than two days in a row, particularly for weight trainers over 40. Exercise provides the seeds of growth, but growth flowers when you're OUT of the gym resting. You should either do a three day per week full body routine, a four ...

If I have been lifting for awhile...and can do 215 on 8 reps of squats...or 155, 8 reps with each leg on lunges...is that a little unbalanced? A buddy thinks my squat weight should be alot more if I can do that much on lunges...

Wow...

I feel really young, being only 23. I even feel young when I goto the gym or out on the jogging/biking path. Most of them men are older than me...of course the women are not. But as they say...women seem to like older men!

http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/research/swimming.htm I have heard that swimming stimulates appitete more than anything else. But if not going for weight loss, it is a great exercise. Maybe muscle builders should use it as their cardio when they are trying to build it: it isn't going to take aw...

I would not worry about supplements at all for weight loss. I lost around 60 pounds just weightlifting and dieting. Cardio makes me more hungry...and dieting is the best way to lose that little bit of fat. Exercising is just the icing on the cake...and strength training was the right way for me beca...

Do your Dips first...then your presses. That way you can use less weight...making it easier to get into position.

Also for stomach...try things like Leg Raises, hanging leg raises and barbell rollouts (similiar to the little ab thingy with wheels). My stomach has never been harder...and I am doing NO crunches!

I used to only do endurance in the morning, thanks to the military training. I started lifting weights in the morning and I do fine. I must admit though, sometimes I wait till midday and I'm able to lift more. It's important to do warm up exercises when working out in the morning though...especially...

Wow...most men can't even do 6 chin-ups. Seeing as how I am not a girl...maybe I should not be giving advice. But I would do DB Bench presses instead of push-ups...and cut out some of the auxiliary exercises. Most people are going to try to tell you to cut the cardio...but I would say keep doing it....

The funny thing is I do not do Swiss ball at all on abs anymore either...I do hanging leg raises, v-ups with weight, reverse woodchoppers and barbell rollouts. So no crunches=useless ball. I think their theory behind the swiss ball being better for pressing exercises is in theory...you will be using...

Who here thinks it would build muscle better to do some Swiss Ball benches and seated presses? I am just wondering if it would only target my core more...or make my chest muscles do some more work! I've seen mixed recommendations for these. I used to do them for ab workouts...now I am wondering beca...

Fair enough...I'll do inbetween wide and normal and just do 3 sets of that
