TSR Muscle Building Society For Men V8

Traps are used a lot in the deadlift and (especially) the power clean, as well as the bench press for stabilising, so that makes sense. I don't think you really need to isolate them. I just do it because loading up a crapload of weight on the bar and shrugging something greater than my 1RM helps tremendously for grip strength (and big traps look awesome). Also it helps me get used to lower weight.

If I remember correctly, muscle activation for lats is pretty much equal for both chin-ups and pullups, so it doesn't really matter. The difference is that pullups work the brachioradialis more and chin-ups use the biceps more. I prefer chin ups because I can do more of them (it's rarely my lats that fail first anyway).

Pretty similar, splitting hairs really.

Although I don't think "feeling" the lats is definitely a sign they're growing or you're doing it correctly. MMC is a bit BS in terms of how most think about it. If you perform it correctly you'll be fine.

You'll feel it WAY more if you go incredibly slow but then you do 5 reps. You go at a decent pace and get 20. I'd say latter is better. You'll feel latter when you're done for sure, just maybe not as obviously as the former.

Good luck!



Barbell rows? every muth****er (/CT fletcher voice) that has a big back seems to hammer these.
I'm gonna work on chest to bar pullups. Those last few inches will really work my lacking scap strength (one thing where the lat pull down is better because you can drop the weight and really squeeze at the bottom).

what are good stretches for hip flexors and adductors?

Lunge stretch for hip flexors is the best. You gotta bend at hips, not back, and gently tense the muscle to stretch Tensing the glutes helps too.

Yet to find a good one for adductors. I do the normal one sitting on floor sole to sole then pushing knees down: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZADA5EzIj_k&sns=em

And a mixture of these. These are pretty amazing.

Gotta say for the inside of the leg especially near knees and the IT band on the outside, only foam rolling does the trick. Those areas can get really tight and there's no real stretches I know of that will relieve.

I'm broke

Walk instead of getting the bus a few times or something til you have £10 then go to Argos. You know it's worth it. I have one of the totally basic ones like they sell and my gym has a posh £40 grind style one and I recon they both do the job the same.

I'm broke and lazy

Especially the bottom of your feet. That can get rid of a lot of perceived hamstring inflexibility

Elaborate?

Are straps the best way to avoid blisters? Is it worth investing in them?

Are there any bodybuilding fans here, attending shows?

I follow BBing, have attended a couple of local shows before.

Got my gym clothes on. Thought i'd lie down and rest my legs for a few minutes. This was just before 6pm. Next thing I know it's 8pm. Damn. Hate it when that happens lol

I'll go tomorrow. Pwomise

Anyway, on to downloading GoT.

Go gym at 8 o clock anyway then. When does your gym shut?

Also, You didn't download it monday morning? What's wrong with you?
