Hey , I just started working out for the past two weeks .

Any tips on how to gain my muscle and weight ? I have flat chest

@darkie:
Its all well and good to use straps for pulling exercises, but when you start reaching heavy weights in things like dumbell flyes and presses, without the forearm strength to lock the wrist in place, isnt there a higher risk of injury?

ps. Im gonna avoid your gym, next to you I look like an anorexic twig

Food + exercise + rest + genetics + time = More mass.

When you attempted the 100 pounders for shrugs and your grip gave way halfway thru the set, did you think the set was wasted? Would it have been a lot more different if you used straps to bypass the weak link?

That's the problem. Beginners always think in absolutes. There are no absolutes in this sport. If a trainee needs straps to do mundane things like flyes and presses, he's a total idiot and he should stop bb'ing completely and go kill himself.

I hate cardio , except playing football with my friends every weekends

I don't know if you noticed but you got only bones and a nice camera.

Sex>cardio

too much of diet to save money buying that batt grip?

haha.. maybe he really doesnt how to start.

Pictures still blur tho.

I know , that's why I asked from you all . Don't get me wrong And I just started .

I'm just 17

I started at 16.

Eat more!

Dirty bulking would suit you!

Did you mean sex or bodybuilding?

How about both.

u r an ecto. Dirty bulking should not b a problem for u.

means,its okay we using straps instead of grip it ?

You still have to grip it even if you're using straps... , straps just distributes the force partially to your wrists.
Lifting 130lbs for shrugs isn't exactly the lightest thing yaknow.

agreed
even gloves cant compare to straps when shrugging (not that i use straps though cuz im still comfortable with the weight i use...)

It's comparing using your palms for spanking the monkey and using your feet. Straps rule.
