Depending on your palm position, it's hits different area on the bicep group. palm down (reverse curl), palm up(normal curl), palm straight (hammer curl).
Also when your do straight bar curl, the close grip and wide grip also hit different section of the bicep

Does squatting and deadlifting hits the same muscle group? i tried to do these both back to back but just to tired after the squats... what if i do squats on day 1 and deadlift on day 2? acceptable?

I wouldn't say it hits the same muscle group as both are compound lifts, but some muscle groups do overlap.
I usually split up my squats and deadlift to be on different days as I put squats on leg day and deadlifts on back day. I find that if I put them together, I'm perilously close to wiping the floor with my face at the end.

I dont have a leg day, chest/shoulders days , arms day, and the third day is when i do all compound exercises. Guess i have to find time to squeeze in the deadlift.

Deadlift + squats back to back = my death

if possible try to put as many days in between squats and deadlifts.

haha chris, i screw up my back again thats why i went mia. but i still went to gym to do some light stuff. but cant go as frequent coz sometimes pain too unbearable. but i go at least 2-3 times a week. not as often as b4 like 5-6 times a week. now i feel better, so going back to 3-4 times a week. but will push myself again. now targeting to reach 100kg bench by end of this month.

How did you mess up your back?

hahahaha... badminton. =.=
remember i told u, my back got injured many times d.
since 8 years ago. so, yeah, easily get injured again. haha

I am only benching 175lb

I don't bench. =(

Fix'd!

o0o

Bro did you see the thread about anabol? That dumb f***. Less than 2 months of training and considering juicing. And omg, sore back. Trained with the juicers at my gym. 40 sets total. LOL!

one question here please !

for strenght building, i'm goin for 5x5/6x6 exercise !

what is the rest between ? it is said that 30-60sec rest is for strength building and 2minutes rest is for size ?

Anabol thread went from Flame to Closed in just under 2 hours. Pretty quick. Is it our culture to think there is a shortcut for everything?

Yeah it was pathetic. Plus the guy knew he messed up and tried to cover by saying he was just asking about it. It's quite common actually when i was studying at malacca. Typical young guy starts out within a few weeks and he's juicing.

he closed it himself. no comments on anabols though, dont know enough to say anything. i DO know i would never juice. dont do drugs and never would.

a question guys. is it a good idea to have someone to give you a lift off from a starting position of an exercise? i find myself not being able to go heavier than what i currently can handle without some assistance. do you guys do it?

I have a narrow clavicle
I want to achieve the board look,so I got to focus on my upper lats and medial deltoid right ?guess the medial deltoid will beef up my shoulder girdle ?

I wouldn't lump juicing under the same boat as the public perception of doing drugs, there is still a difference between the two. For me, there should be years of foundation building and a whole lot of knowledge acquired before choosing to cross that bridge. Anyhow, enough on that touchy subject.

From the way you structured your question, I don't suppose you mean spotter but someone to help you getting each rep off? I've never had anyone assist each rep from the get go but I have utilize negative reps where my spotter would help me on the lift and I would focus on the lowering portion.

Please enlighten me if there is, but I don't see a benefit to having a spotter assist the liftoff of each rep from the start if it isn't negatives. If it is on the final reps, then spotter assist is normal to squeeze everything out of the muscle. Well, the only benefit I see is more ego based which is lifting more weight than usual.

I think what he meant is probably the starting position which doesnt count as a rep. I thinks its okay to have a spotter to help your way in the starting position when it is quite heavy so that you can continue the following reps on your own.

Wth... I tried ur 40 sets total today, barely made it back alive. lol. Hard to maintain good form after so many sets too. Really working hard to bring up my lats now.
