Speaking of bench press and shoulder issue, when I do both close grip and regular bench press, my right shoulder clicks. Anyone know how to fix this? My should also clicks when I'm doing lateral raises.
I'd say strengthen your traps. I had all sorts of issues with my shoulder. I worked in two solid upper back/trap days and my shoulder stopped bothering me.
@xplicitluder - there really is no routine that's going to help you the fastest you gotta try different things and see what works best for you. My friends currently doing the same work out I'm doing which is a full body strength/mass style routine and I asked him how he was liking it so far bc his goals to lose weight while I'm trying to put on weight, he says he's shredding pounds off while I've been gaining. It's all diet.
And in terms of having to touch your chest while benching there's different styles of benching. Are you benching for simply a big number or for size? It doesn't all require that you have to drop the bench onto your chest. Posted via RS Mobile
Just a quick question, who's actually a kinesiology student here? Seems like a lot of you are with all the jargen thrown around. (not hating at all, i'm a kin student too)

this is like 75% of the people who work out at RSC lol, always flexing and just weak as a shit. always talking about how strong and tough they are etc
yep the 2 times i went saw all of that lol
lots of guys with massive guts and doing arms what a fucking joke
I got a lacrosse ball and have been doing hamstring and adductor releases/massages....
Best investment! LOL! No back pain, improved squat depth. Even my knee feels better! Highly recommend to everyone!
Thanks for the tip! Been meaning to do something along the lines of a foam roller, and for ~$5? Can't go wrong. Thanks!

+1, it was something to do with pulling my muscles back by doing a lot of back work that helped my shoulders from cracking/hurting at night.
Just spent a good 20 minutes on foam rolling (but with a tennis ball) on pretty much every part of my lower body. Hip flexors, adductors, abductors, hams, glutes...my god it feels good.
I did this every workout for a year before switching to SC where I had no access to a foam roller. I feel like this may be the key to fixing my flexibility/tightness/pain; never had the issues I'm currently having when I did myofascial release religiously.
Hopefully with mobility work and the addition of this, I'll be able to squat and deadlift without any issues.
in my unobjective opinion, the 5/3/1, 5x5 (with more accessories) and phat routines are bulletproof because they have a solid composition of both strength and hypertrophy
it gets more complicated only if you decide to specialize in oly lifting, or powerlifting
been lurking here for a while..
thought I'd share my progress here from the last 6 months..
started off really unfit and I was getting fatter and fatter over the years
I didn't play any sport and didn't do any exercise at all.. everyday I'd just go to work, come home, play video game, watch tv, eat and sleep...etc
I weight 160lbs last year and dropped down to 140lbs in about 3 months..I cut out most of the unhealthy food in my diet and started exercising 4-6 days a week
My cardio and endurance seems to have improved quite a bit, but my strength remained pretty stagnant...e.g.
- 2.4km run time went from to 15:30 minutes to 10 minutes
- push up went from 20ish to 65+
- pull up from less than 2 to 11
- Seated machine press went from 130lb to 140lb (I workout at my condo gym which has no barbell or heavy dumbbell)
My goal initially was just to slim down and get fit...but now that I think I am fit enough, I really want to get bigger and stronger
Went on vacation in Jan., didn't do any workout and also got sick...weight dropped to 136 and it seems I lost quite a bit of muscle mass from that.
