    That's the most solid advice offered in this thread. You're the one with all the questions but don't want to listen or take advice. Everyone should probably move on.

    The questions I'm asking are not being answered by the people arguing about form. I didn't ask, "why are my arms sore while doing this exercise?" I'm not confused as to why they're sore. The advice I'm actually looking for has only been offered by a couple of people. I'm asking about weighted ab exercises and we're talking about deadlift form. Shame on me for expecting people on MFP to answer the actual question.

    You know, my biceps are so sore today that walking around my office with my arms completely relaxed is uncomfortable. There's only one explanation: my walking form must be severely flawed. It can't be that I recently did bicep curls for the first time in months - no, that's ludicrous.

    I'm done here.

    I expressed concern for your bicep. To be fair you didn't really say it was from bicep curls originally.

    But anyway... constantly checking and re-checking your form is not bad and as Jo says above a) you shouldn't take it personally (we could all do with form sharpening, I'm sure) and b) this is solid info for other people who may not know and stumble across this thread.

    I also contributed unilateral loaded carries and unilateral deadlifts (SL and SC) as great progressively loadable exercises.

    Deep breaths all round...

    Have a great day! See you tomorrow when you have another easy to solve 5/3/1 question.

    I just started 5/3/1 with Periodization Bible assistance work and, on squat day, I chose dumbbell sidebends for my ab move. Well, I don't have dumbbells, but I was thinking I could just hold a weight plate from my barbell set. Well, that didn't quite work out. I didn't like it at all. I'm already doing hanging leg raises on the other day I do ab work (even thought I can hardly execute 2 in a row right now), so I'm looking for something to replace these sidebends with.

    Today I did some sit-ups while holding a 10 lb plate, but it didn't do much for me. I could go up in weight, of course, but I'm not sure if I'm wasting my time with sit-ups or not. I know plenty of "ab exercises" - planks being a favorite - but I can do those anytime. I want something that I can do in my weight room specifically to target my core. Like I said, I don't have dumbbells, but I have an Olympic barbell set, a bench, and a pull-up bar.

    I looked up barbell sidebends, but it looks more like a barbell twist to me. The video I found said to use no more than 40 lbs, and my bar itself weighs more than that. I'm not sure if that's a bunch of BS or not, but I don't want to risk injury by doing something stupid.

    Any suggestions are welcome!

    I would replace them with seated calf raises.

    I'm curious why anyone who still has this many basic questions would be using 5/3/1. But, meh

    At least BCarr was just dumb (okay, really dumb). This new OP adds in a peachy disposition to boot. Great combination.

    Word of advice to basically anyone but the OP:

    If you think you're perfect at something and have nothing to learn...you're wrong.
    If you don't know how to use an internet search engine...it would probably be a good idea to learn.
    If you do know how to use an internet search engine but can't be bothered...shoot yourself...in the face...with a rusty chainsaw held by a rabid honey badger riding atop a rampaging African hippo.
