You said you're bulking
but no legs ?

no anymore compound such as deadlift or squat ?

nop
romanian deadlift more to the glutes and hamstring

hi mentors
just to ask
when we are doing deadlift,the weight plate supposed to touch the floor only consider a full reps ?

hi all,is DIP going too low hurts shoulder?
I feel shoulder is involve when doing dip,lower chest of course
any potential harm ?

thanks alot for your reply
means when dipping,elbow should keep inwards?
well i mean going too low is when i leaning my chest outwards and i really go all the way down

my left knees feel akward when doing front squat
form should be alright,knees not over toes...weird..weight overload?

its parallel,to 90 degree
well just now i went to try again
i try to open wider,and remove all the stress to hip and quads.it seems MUCH better

are we advised to squat twice per week ? or 1 would be enough?

I am here asking 1 very silly question
and i've been googled and confused with it

Some said ,there are no such things call inner pecs ,just bring up the overall mass,your pec shape its ultimately genetical determined

Some said,doing tons for flyes and cable-cross over will developed and pump for the inner pecs

Which 1 to follow ?
and may I know upper pecs and lower pecs play what role?
lower pecs for shape ?
Would Bench Press hit the lower pecs when we are doing full ROM?

Imma gonna alternate incline flyes and decline flyes every weeks !
chest rountine is pretty simple
DIP-will do before bench press as this requires more energy
Bench Press
Incline Bench press
TADAH !! DONE ! xD
might add some back training,I train back twice for catching up progress

okay here comes another question
should we be locking out our knees when we're doing squat?

Am doing front squat today,1 huge fella come to me,and ask me to wear belt for protection,and ask me not to squat heavily(yea that time i was struggling at 140 lbs+20kg olympic bar, front squat for 5 reps)
According to him,I am not supposed to lock knees when I am standing up,I should control the movement slowly and maintain the muscle tension there.

and he did pointed out I tend to 'bounce' when I am standing up,which is stressing more to the knees.it will hurts the ligament and I will be regret after 3-4 years.squat should not be too heavy as I am not competing ,why rushing ? yes I admit it,when I am standing up I tend to bounce so the lift will be easier.but I never realized thats a cheat form and could be potential harm to my knees.

Well,kinda speaking,he's much bigger than me and least years of experience,so now...I always think that squat should be go heavier,or i should follow to this guy advise? dont lock out,go slowly..

and my feel left knees knuckles cracking when I am doing front squat..which I recheck my form,its should be shoulder stance,foot pointing outwards,hips go downs,knees not over toes....it is not pain but feel weird....

There are not over than 5 people squating in the gym room,and only 1 people who doing deadlift,thats me ! none-of any instructor there,which I barely cant find a big bodybuilder and ask for the skill helps.

Someone enligthen me , I am confused,especially the knees cracking part seriously bothering me,and I might not want to harm my knees,I know squat is way too important,but if I am doing it wrong end up this might be my last chapter of bodybuilding.I did googled,but too many version there ,confusing which 1 to follow.

yes bro,haven seen you for a long time,if I am not mistaken you should 1 of the squaters in Priority too
Sadly is,no ones with nice leg development there.at least I haven meet anyone.


His legs??...
erm...I would say Ok...but its a lil bit tiny compare with his HUGE upper body.and I did see him squat before,
narrow stance then goes 45% degree,but I not sure there is any partial movement for those big guy so I dint dare to judge its a wrong form.

there are no superior legs' development in the gym.sadly say that neithers deadlift nor squat
bench press ,military press,barbell row.. yes there are alots out there

Yes I dont bounce like a rabbit,I was like go down slowly..then explode up...end up might locking the leg,but I dint felt any back pain from front squat.

my lower body is overweight compare with my upperbody.

I met him few times,but I guess he is back to KL as what he told me
err...dont have an exact time.you training there too ?

cool bro,maybe we can grab some workout sometimes !

yea ! training for hypertrophy,strength is a bonus !
Well I will try next week...cant wait for it !

Squatting 70 lbs per side with standard olympic bar = 63 kg + 20 kg ==93 kg
I believe everyone in the forum can almost squat above 100 kg
am weighting at 76 kg,strength gain goes well and being squat for 10 months,never skip squat even my wrist injured and rest for 2 months.
I guess I have to put on more weight and food,seriously thats unbalance strength and size among upper body and lower body

about the left knees knuckles cracking,I dont have to care yea...it doesnt feel pain but the feel is akward..
