Biceps. Small. Hardly used.

Could you share some statements of truth on body part splits or training lagging body parts?

Ironman wrote:Chad Waterbury would do things like a large amount of 3 rep sets.

I remember that from his Big Boy Basics program. Eight sets of 3, and three sets of 8.

This is a good discussion, and an area I could really stand to learn a lot more about.

@jason, the wall slides I think I can daily. Don't forget to try and prevent your thoracic cage from tipping. You need scapulothoracic movement, not lumbar extension. Sounds like a variation of YTWL. Yeah my chiro gives out what he calls ATYWs (also known as YTAs or YTIs, +w), same concept; externa...

I'll attend if he can tell me why he still has all his hair and I don't. Shouldn't there be a perk for being this small?

305 @ 122? God damn, man, how tall are you? Not very :( Keep in mind that's not my walking around weight, that's my competition weight. I walk around at about the same height/weight as Tom Cruise, which I think means I'm not legally a dwarf in 38 states and all the provinces except the Yukon. Anywa...

When I swore the oath and took the name, they told me it'd go down.

305 at a bodyweight of 122.

I'm going to make a couple other suggestions here. Don't think of the shoulder as a single joint, because it isn't; it's got an absolutely absurd number of articulations between it's three joints and the scapulothoracic pseudojoint*. In order for the humerus to move, the scapulothoracic joint also h...

You'd be more likely to know than me, actually. As a trainer you see way more people who train their shoulders than I do. I dunno, I've met some seriously impressive MDs whose command of orthopedic testing has completely blown me out of the water. I'm really only beginning to understand some of the...

You're aware that the other Jason on this forum competes nationally (actually internationally, since he's American, and his last meet was in Canada) in Strongman? I had no idea, which is probably why I didn't get the joke :pale: There's a correspondent on that show named Jason Jones. Jason, is that...

Haven't had any success breaking the plataeu actually. Even with a weight class drop I can't hit elite numbers.

Ever watch The Daily Show?

Cool diagrams. Using lines makes it simpler to see the relationships that when they try to illustrate the whole muscle. Also shows how complicated the shoulder really is. Speaking of how complicated the shoulder is, how often do you actually see dysfunction of the subscapularis, Jungledoc? I would ...

TEACH ME

What's the goal of this routine, and what are your overall fitness goals?

Thanks for the words of encouragement / reassurance that I haven't stepped into a massive blunder and made a buttguy out of myself. There's a huge amount I could say about my experiences, but I'll try to keep it relevant and on-point. Perhaps the biggest point would be to echo something someone much...
