a good one i suggest emailing eric cressey and ask him about one in your area...explain your situation post here: http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_forum/sports_body_training_performance_bodybuilding_author/new_cressey_thread you'll need to to register first though Thanks, I appreciate the advice.

withut getting too technical push ups are a closed chain exercise (push your body away from an object) and a bench press is an open chain exercise (push an object away from you)...closed chain exercises are the best and most safe exercises so if they are hurting then it's nly a matter of time durin...

If it hurts during pushups but not bench press, which is pretty much the same motion, then I would have to guess it's your form during the pushups. You're probably right, but let's not forget that a pushup uses waaay more muscles than bench presses. Either way, I'll evaluate how I do pushups, and s...

well get it fixed then, it's hard to workout with 1 arm...if you can't do simple, dirty old push ups without pain then you certanly can't do any bench presses or shoulder presses...what's wrong with it? are you doing push ups properly? (straight body, elbows 45 degrees from torso and pointing down ...

option 2 as stated workout 1 zone 1 - static lunges x 15 / push ups x 15 / inverted rows x 15 x 10mins...count up all your reps and do more each time in the same time frame zone 2 - reverse lunges x 15 / single arm shoulder presses x 15 / lat pulldowns x 15 x 10mins the same way workout 2 zone 1 - ...

Go with option 2. Also if you're looking to increase in size your diet is really important as well. Eat a lot. Some of the exercises I think you should start with are simple, pushups, dips, (jump)squats, (jump)lunges, pull ups, and chin ups. Also don't forget some core work, things like the plank, ...

During the summer, I ride bike to work every day, so I don't hit the gym, but since the beginning of November, I've been going to the gym every day, mostly doing cardio. I've lost a little over 15 pounds doing that, and I'd like to switch routine to include some weight training now. I've never reall...

Lol, I see you've been here since the beginning of time.

if you want something better than the scale do tape measurements which can be found in the tracking portion of this site. Also, take photo's of front, back and side in your bathing suit. These are more reliable than a scale on tracking your progress. If you gain a pound of muscle and have a loss of...

Hi there! Congrats on the weight loss! The 3 pound weight loss could have been the result of water weight. Have you been drinking the same amounts of water each time you weigh in? weight can fluctuate by as much as 5 pounds from day to day depending on how hard I've worked out, how much I've eaten ...

So I signed up here a few weeks ago, and am basically just monitoring calorie intake, and calorie burn via cardio, usually biking, and some jogging. (Weird, it says I've been signed up since September 3rd, but I've got 5 weeks worth of weigh-ins) I'm 5'10, 29 years old, and started out at 196 lbs. I...
