From what I understand, in the chest version, you lean your body forward to focus more on the chest. Whereas in the tricep version you keep your body somewhat straight and upright to focus more on the triceps.
Oh man, before yesterday, I hadn't played futsal for so long, and thus, I have probably 5 times more painful DOMS than any workout I've ever had. Getting out of bed was a big task to tackle for me this morning.

Guys, I've been having a fever/flu two weeks ago but even after medication, I was still feeling the effects of it. So, I've stopped going to the gym during this time. Today is my first day since getting the fever/flu and I haven't been able to lift as much as I have. And for cardio, I've not been able to run as much as I have. For example, previously I could run 11 km per hour but now after my 6th km, I feel exhausted and had to lie down on the bench for 10 minutes before being able to drag myself home.
Advice/help on how should I proceed with my training? I mean by what percentage should I reduce the intensity? And any advice that can hasten the process of me being back to normal lifting/running.
Listen to your body, do what you feel capable of doing. There's no rules written in stone for training, bro. And, make sure you're getting lots of good nutrients to speed up recovery and you should be back to your normal self in no time.
I've stopped on my whey protein and supplements. I'm only taking multivitamins and omega3. I'm just slightly (ok, more than slightly ) disappointed that all the hard work these few months have seemed to slipped away.
I know the feeling all too well. Just keep feeding your body what it needs to fight off infection and you should get better and get training started again.
anyone here got a fear of doing particular workout?
I have fear of doin workout for legs, no idea why. When it comes to leg workout day, i feel like skipping it but then at the end i still go for it though
hey guys.. im planning to start a 20 reps squats program for 6 weeks. however, the gym that i go only have smith machine and no power rack. should i do smith machine squat? or any alternative way?
Woohoo, I have a fellow 20-repper. LOL
Anyway, I use the smith machine for my squats because it's a lot easier on my back.
