Hey Raynor,

Have any tips for someone that's persistently studying long hours, and not wanting their posture to go to shit?


Certainly.

1. Take frequently breaks, stand up, walk around, keep mobile.
2. Keep yourself sitting up straight when studying, even it it means buying a book holder and using that to keep from bending forward and looking down.
3. Stretch several times a day for 15 minutes each time, focusing on your back and neck mostly, but stretching everything else as well.
4. When tired, lay down and study with your material above you as to prevent slouching and muscle memory of hunching over.

With the BB row in a overhand grip exercise, what muscle is it more efficiently working? Upper or lower back?

Can it be efficient for both depending on the angle the back makes with the ground?

If it is efficient for both, what angles are good for which parts of the back? I.e more bent over for the upper back? and slightly straight up at 60 degrees for the lower back?

It works for both depending on the angle, but it can effectively hit the middle/wide back at a neutral position as well.


The higher you bring the weight, the higher it works.

The lower you bring the weight, the lower it works.

The wider your grip, the wider it works.


The angle of your torso also effects the angle of the muscles. Play around with a low weight and pulse the muscles at each angle to feel which one is being worked optimally in which position.


I personally do bent over DB rows to the sternum with about a 100 degree angle of torso, and mid-grip with perfect form.

I assuming that if you bring the weights higher, that means the angle your back with the ground is larger?

90 degrees is straight up, if you're at 100, that means you're at 80 degrees the opposite way

You are overthinking it.

To where you bring the weight depends on how far forward or backwards your body is in relation to the bar (use a smith machine for best results)

For protein powder, try:

Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex Natural
NOW! Whey isolate
NOW! Whey Protein


for weight gainer, try:

Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex Gainer
Cytosport Cytogainer
NOW! Pro Gainer



I figured out, that I need natural products ( means no Artificial Flavors, Sweeteners, or Synthetic Colors ), which hasnt many brands. just like Optimum Nutrition has.

I want try some protein for day ( before, after run ),
and for better regeneration ( I wonder, my legs hurts because they havent enough time for regeneration or they miss somethings ) some night longterm protein, called Casein ? Is it good choice for that needs ?

for day:
Code
http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products/natural-100-whey-gold-standard-p-202.html

for night:
Code
http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products/natural-100-casein-p-267.html


Is it silly idea ? Please explain, why you would recommended a
Code
http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products/natural-pro-complex-p-268.html
?
- for day or night ?

Pro Complex Natural is the best of both worlds. You do not need a separate casein shake.

Get Pro Complex Natural and use it for post-workout and pre-bedtime.

ok ty

but it is big package for a lot money.

I need just try some little amount for less. But it is not produced this Pro Complex. Just those other 2 are produced in smaller amount.
May I replace Pro complex for those 2 as a similar effect ? ( I need replace it, because Casein and Whey are in smaller amounts so I save some money - I need try it fisrt )

/// I dont know how is it on market. If casein and whey are smallest for 2 lb., then it will be same.. so I dont know
