QUOTE(iamyuanwu @ May 1 2009, 07:40 PM) The T lateral raise is not the effective one (your body forms a T when you lift the db). I use the same technique.You're right, the db should look like it's hanging from the wrist. And the elbows bent 70 degrees. You would also look a bit like a chicken when doing it. X^D Well, at least that's how I was taught. |

QUOTE(John91 @ May 2 2009, 09:55 PM) Good. Lol. My personal favorites are bent over barbell rows, and upright rows (dumbbell or EZ bar). Really gets teh muscles. I meant kinda in the sense of which is supposedly better. xD 'Cause I've been reading around and all I hear of is barbell rows. I don't usually hear about DB rows. |

QUOTE(darklight79 @ May 3 2009, 03:13 AM) Barbell rows according to Terry, bread and butter of all back exercises but only if done correctly. Most people will do them like they're executing power shrugs but you've got the form down pat, prepare to grow. So, uhh, which d'you side more to? DBs or barbells?I think it's the deadlifts which contributed. I don't do much direct work for traps. But then I also only deadlift once every 2-3 months yet I'm able to add weight to the bar everytime. Maybe my traps are one of my gifted parts. If i could get my biceps to grow like them I'd be really happy but God didn't see fit to pamper us with everything I guess, But I'll be damned if I get too overconfident and start trying to progress too much. I'm trying to hit back my old max of 510lbs but I'm taking my time. Yeah, dips and decline bench will focus on that part. |

The reason I've been wondering, is I usually use dumbbells for my worksets, and when I read up on certain exercises, all I hear of is barbells. So, yeah.

QUOTE(mrPOTATO @ May 4 2009, 08:08 PM) Check with u all, which is better ? Hitting a bodypart once a week or 2x per week ? I'd go for once a week, with super high intesity. Good example being legs. It its once a week, lets say 4 exercises/day. If its 2x per week, then only half the intensity, ie only 2 exercises for that part a day. Thx. |

QUOTE(mofonyx @ May 10 2009, 09:45 AM) You shouldn't be intimidated. There's a large resource on learning the correct form and we're all here to help you get it right. There's no absolute necessity on going onto the barbell for lifting/bodybuilding but in my (limited) experience, starting off with the barbell (in general) is better than dumbbells. I agree. I think it's easier to learn the techniques using a barbell at first, and slowly moving on to dumbbells.@cracksys: If you don't have correct form, chances are, more'll go wrong if you use dumbbells rather than barbells. And also, I'm just assuming you're relatively new to lifting, so you should concentrate on the basic types of lifts or compound exercises, ie barbell squats, benchpresses, etc. This post has been edited by -Dan: May 10 2009, 11:41 AM |

QUOTE(JonYeap @ May 10 2009, 07:40 PM) normally ppl do squat or deadlift 1st. The big muscle groups like legs and back always take a lot out of you, which is why I do them on different days. u should split ur squat and deadlift to seperate days. coz its full body workout. if i am not wrong. so u can split to day 1, squat first then other workout. day 2, deadlift then other workout. squat and deadlift really requires a lot from u. so go with them 1st... thats what i normally do. =.= |

QUOTE(mofonyx @ May 10 2009, 08:40 PM) ....but then again, those who argue against squatting and deadlifting on the same day may just be pussies. LOLed at that.http://ripquoteoftheday.blogspot.com/2009/...ay-6th-may.html LOL I've stopped squatting and DL on the same day But anyway, the last time I did squats and deadlifts on the same day, I overworked my back and pretty much couldn't move for the next week or 2. |

I pretty much only use barbells for warming up, or when I need to, ie deadlifts, squats, etc. Prefer using dumbbells for worksets.

Did 50kg x 10 x 10. And, damn, was it tough. My heart was pounding non-stop and I looked and felt like a cripple after the last set.

Pretty monotonous workout today. Some idiots stole the clips which attach the bar to the chain on the pulldown machine, so no pulldowns or seated rows till it's replaced.

Whenever I have bananas in the house, I peel them and put them into airtight bags and into the freezer they go. Perfect ingredient for my protein shakes. Gives the shakes a pleasant, smooth texture.
