Raynor, how is this bicep routine:

Currently on your 5x5 strength program,

5 sets of 8 reps of seated close grip ez-bar curl
5 sets of 5 reps of standing barbell curl
5 sets of 8 reps of seated concentration curl
5 sets of 8 reps of cable rope curls

How is this routine? My new training partner is complaining about the volume.  My question is, is this too much?  Does the close grip ez-bar curl work the same muscles as the barbell curl?  If so, is that a bad thing?  If yes, I'm looking for modifications to this routine.


It looks good for now....the volume is good too. Biceps tend to be stubborn and need additional volume to get them to grow.

hey man just a random question not sure if you know or not but

Does cracking your knuckles cause or prevent arthritis ?
I've heard both so I don't know heh



Neither.

Right now there isn't much evidence to support either. It looks like it's harmless in general and doesn't really do anything other than make your knuckles feel good for a brief moment. It's more psychological than anything.

The number 1 thing is for you to eat properly. Exercise is helpful, but certainly not the magical solution by itself.

I don't like the Acesulfame Potassium or the Artificial flavoring. Artificial sweeteners are never good.

I personally recommend Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex Natural (Chocolate)


For caffeine, any type is fine.

hey man,

I was around 11.5% bf maybe a day or 2 ago, and today in the AM when I checked, I went up to 13% (WHY?)

and then I checked later on and it was 12.7% an hour ago

What in the world happened? :l Nothing really changed in my diet (I even worked out relatively well yesterday with my sore hammys and quads due to doing squats on monday for the first time in like 2 weeks? :l)

Hey mate, long time no talk...very quick question I need a decent arm routine for really stuborn arms!

Also the next day after a training session and u don't feel no burn does that mean u haven't trained hard enough? On my back/shoulder/arm days when I train them the next day I feel very little - any burn.

But during the training session I'm really pushing myself till past failure.h

does the one arm bent over dumbell row work the lats?

if not can you suggest other exercises that do besides the pullup/chinup and lat pulldown?
