I wouldn't even consider that exercise. OP should at least do calisthenics/cardio

It could also be cubital tunnel syndrome. You see if a lot with lifters, especially guys who bench too often. If it doesn't go away or if your pinky and ring ringer start to go numb you should see a neurologist and have electrodiagnostic studies performed.

I would like The Incredible Hulk's body but with regular colored skin.

This is all you need for the next year or more.

A buddy of mine used stronglifts for years before he had to change programs. He squatted 300kg in competition the last time I saw him (that's 661lbs). Also, keep in mind that in competition you have to go well below parallel so most of the squat stats you hear outside of comp. are drastically inflated.

Machines will not give you the same results as free weights. Regardless of what your goal is, you will get there faster using free weights. Go to stronglifts.com and start running their program.

Lifting shouldn't effect your carpal tunnel as long as you are able to keep your wrists straight while you're doing it (i.e. do knuckle push ups instead of flat handed push ups). If your doctor told you not to lift weights then be sure to not listen to him because he doesn't know what he's talking about! Doctors are…

You don't have any recognizable amount of hypertrophy in your Avatar...

If he's taking steroids then he's getting some fake siht. . I used to train at the Las Vegas Athletic Club and would see him there a lot. He's ripped but he's actually really really small. He probably only weighs about 160lbs and he doesn't lift anything impressive, even for his size. He is; however, absolutely terrifying.…

I think some folks are E-Stattin' in here

^this

My 4 year old son was looking at an advertisement in one of my bodybuilding magazines with a picture of Jay Cutler. Me: Look how big that guy is Landon: Yea! he's so big he's purple! Me: Do you wanna be purple some day? Landon: Yea! I'm gonna be purple!

These are some strange stats lol. Usually folks put Squat/Bench/Dead/Press. Squat: 545 Bench: 415 Deadlift: 661 Press: 245

Starting Strength or Stronglifts 5x5

You're not lacking in strength, you are lacking in confidence. You are more than capable of squatting, deadlifting and benching the bar. I promise.

Hiring a personal trainer is kind of like going to a chiropractor. Occasionally there's one who's amazing and does a great job but most of the time they wind up being some quack who does nothing but drain your wallet. If you do better when someone is holding you accountable then try and find a good training partner. They…

There's no weight room at your highschool? If you want to build any significant amount of muscle you're going to need some implements to lift, for now I would just do push ups, pull ups, lunges, dips and squats.

Taping your legs or wearing knee socks is required in competition so you don't get your skin and blood scraped off on the bar. Note the Avatar

Also, if you sit all day you may have problems activating your glutes and hamstrings and are making up for it with your lower back musculature. To remedy this, focus on thrusting your hips forward during the movement rather than focusing on pulling up on the bar. Don't use dumbbells to deadlift, use a bar or a trap bar.

A compound move is one that utilizes more than one joint like in a squat which utilizes the hips, knees and ankles (among others) not some sort of double exercise. Also, if you are able to do 2 lifts simultaneously I think it's safe to say that you're not using enough weight to illicit any type of adaptation and are thus…

If you said anything other than "barbell" you need to re-evaluate your training program.

You may get some noob gains when you add strength training to your routine but if you're in a caloric deficit you're not going to add any significant amount of muscle. It would be much better for you to finish cutting and then go on a clean bulk in order to achieve your goal. You should be lifting while you're cutting to…

Stuff that you have to do in your daily life should not be counted as exercise. You have been doing that stuff your whole life and still wound up being overweight so it obviously isn't doing anything for you. Exercise needs to be done in addition to your daily tasks even if you have the world's most physically demanding…

I like going to "that" gym and scaring the siht out of everyone

**** 'em! I turn bright red and leave a disgusting pool of sweat wherever I go when I'm training. That's not an exaggeration.... a pool of sweat. I also frequently get explosive nose bleeds when I go for heavy singles. People stare at me and I just think, "say something about it and see what I do to you...."

30 min cardio ME Bench Day Narrow Grip Bench for heavy triples DB Presses Standing Overhead Press Barbell Rows Curls w/ Heavy Chains Skull Crushers

Also, be aware that women cannot build muscle very quickly and the maximum amount of weight they can gain from weight training is pretty low. A lot of women seem to think that if they lift heavy weights that they will wake up one morning with 20" biceps, a beard and a viking helmet but it just doesn't work that way. You're…

Isolation exercises won't do it for you dude. You should get your forearm training from holding heavy weights in your hands so stick with big, compound lifts for low reps and your forearms and grip strength will grow rapidly. Try slowly working up in weight on your deadlifts with a double overhand grip. Once you've gotten…

Good Mornings, Romanian Deadlifts, Pull Throughs, Glute Bridges, Rack Pulls, and Back Squats (make sure you sit back into your squat or it will be all quad)

When you're first getting into weights it is more beneficial to train with a full body routine because of the increased frequency of the lifts. The training/recovery wave of someone with your level of experience is very short, a few days at most, thus you will get faster results because your training doesn't warrant a…
