Improving Grip strength
I was looking into adding some implements to my current list, I have grippers and the Fat Gripz. Have any of you guys heard of the i-beam cable attachment? The claim behind this product is, having stronger fingers leads to a better grip. Any suggestions? Thanks

Creatine or not?
Back to weight training after a few years away. Currently doing GZCLP and loving it. Late 40's slightly overweight but reasonably fit. My goals are building strength, losing a bit of my paunch and keeping in shape for the sports that I like - skiing mountain biking... How much difference would it make to my program to add Creatine as a supplement?

Starting Bar height for overhead press ?
I do a OHP and I put the bar at around my neck height,i planned on changing this to around sternum height to get more ROM. Is it okay to do this or is it not recommended (E.g. Can it cause health problems such as impingement, etc) ?

If novice lifters can theoretically make full recoveries in 48 hours, shouldn't beginner routines more utilize this for deadlifting?
Hear me out. Deadlifting works the full body and really helps strengthen a lot of weak points. It's fairly difficult to progress later on because you should only do it once a week. For true novices, the recovery of all muscles are assumed to be full after 48 hours. Therefore, why not have them deadlift 1x5 or even 2x5 twice a week while they safely can?

Motivation?
Currently in year 12. In year 8 I worked out for about a year Year 9 on and off for a year Year 10 - 11 really started putting on muscle and looking alot better. Was absolutely SMASHING my body 3 days a week. Every rep until failure.
It was always hard but I wanted to become something so badly that I was able to push through.
Now I'm in year 12 and I have stopped working out and eating entirely for about 6 months. I have that goal of who I want to be but lately It has been harder than it ever was. For months I've been writing food/workout/motivation programs to follow but I just fucking cant start working out. I have no idea why, it always used to be do-able but it seems so out of reach now.
I'm not entitled to receive any motivation but I feel so fucking stuck right now that If ANYONE had some advice I would love to hear it.
Note: I've always said to myself to start you just have to do it. Nothing more. But It just feels like I cant..
Has anyone been through similar? If so what helped you? Thanks alot guys n gals :)

Very dumb question regarding dip bars
I have dip bars that look like this with the bars facing out at an angle. I've been doing dips facing away from the power cage in the picture, so my grip would be pointed out away from my body.
I see people online doing the opposite though, where in the pic they'd be facing the cage. Am I supposed to be doing it that way or does it matter? I ask a lot of simple questions on this sub but no one seems to mind, so thank you in advance for being helpful

Is there any real purpose in training biceps from strength perspective?
I like to isolate triceps once a week to help with the big 3, but never train biceps cause I don't really see the point. All they do is work as a stabilizer from my understanding. Should I train them?
Super weak beginner
Hi! I’m 20 yo and I’ve been wanting to get a solid weight lifting routine down. Problem is I am too weak to even carry the barbell bar (with no weights added) and so I can’t perform a lot of the basic compound movements. What are some of your recommendations so I can work my way up to using the barbell bar? Appreciate any feedback I get!

Post workout meal necessary?
I workout really late and go really hard. Deadlifts, squats and may compound movements. I was wondering if it is ok to go to sleep right after without eating anything after a workout despite my glycogen levels being depleted and being hungry. I will take a protein shake tho
Shouldn't the opposite of a drop set be the better way to increase strength?
My understanding of how muscle fibres are activated when lifting is that it's all or nothing for each individual fibre, and that a varying number of fibres will be used depending on how heavy the lift is. If you need 100% of your available fibres to lift 100 lbs on a given lift, then theoretically 50 lbs is going to use somewhere around 50% of the available muscle fibres. Fibrillic hypertrophy (strength gains) occur when those fibres are activated and stressed. That's why lifting heavy makes you stronger.
So, assuming I have that all correct (despite being grossly oversimplified), drop sets should be largely a waste of time, right? You lift your normal heavy sets, activating and stressing muscle fibres, and then drop the weight down after you're fatigued, activating less muscle fibres. Seems like it should be pretty ineffective.
Wouldn't the opposite be better? Say you're lifting at your 5RM (100 lbs for my example). Once your sets are over, you allow yourself to rest a little, get your ATP back, and then try to kick out a 1RM set at 115 lbs. This should activate more muscle fibres than your 5RM set was activating, and stimulate muscle growth more than lowering the weight.
Am I wrong?

Good Condition / Battle Ropes
Looking to get a set of 1.5" 40' conditioning ropes for at home.

Help me get a complete leg workout and make my leg great again
Had knee surgery, meniscus is stitched should be able to sort of do everything again now ( build it up slowly)
But i seem to have another problem, at least i have Patellar tendonitis and maybe the surgery wasn't successful, i have no clue but my knee isn't working properly yet even after 6+ months of daily rehab, its clicking and at some times it feels like a tendon just gets stuck and needs to pop loose again.
The more my leg is irritated the more often the tendon gets stuck and the harder and more bothersome it needs to pop back in place. I just hope its not a piece of the meniscus.
There is almost no pain with the popping, but its quite scary and gets worse when my leg gets irritated so just training through it doesn't seem like an option.
My leg that had surgery is still much smaller than my other one which might be due to some (unrelated) nerve damage.
Anyway want to make my leg great again.
Deadlifts are a no go, after a couple of reps with a light weight the tendon gets stuck, squats the same.
Full range leg extentions to a lesser degree, so some days i can do them full range.
So what i am doing now:
*Leg extention machine, sometimes full range lighter weight and usually i do the last 30 degrees to hit the vmo.
*Hamstring curls on a seated machine but just started doing them standing on the leg extention machine.
*Weighted leg raises, i put a 5kg bag on my foot and flex the quads raise the leg and hold for 3 secs for reps, just switched to basically doing the same but with a cable attached to my ankle and sort of kick out.
*Hip thrusts
*Supermans
*Single leg reversed deadlifts no weight, cant even hold my balance on the one leg
* Sometimes some kettlebell swings where i only bend my knees slightly
*Standing calves
*Seated calves
*Glute medius weighted leg raises
Am i hitting all the muscles of my leg? Do i need some additional adductor work? I need to get a strong and bigger leg asap. I feel i am lacking stability should i try some unilateral work, or will the stability come with the exercises i am currently doing? Suggestions?

New Strength or Size training?
I've been working out seriously for about a month now after kind of screwing around for a few months. But I was wondering if I should train for size or strength right now? I want to look good, but I want real strength too. I know I'll make all kinds of gains in the next year. Just wondering what y'alls perspective was. EDIT: I forgot to mention my gym doesnt have a bench or a squat rack, we only have a smith machine. I've read that it's not as good as the regular bench or squat rack because of your stabilizing muscles.

Post-SL, what regiment to follow just to maintain size?
I finished SL, and I'm feeling pretty good about myself. It's been a long journey losing almost 100 lbs and becoming the strongest me I've ever been in just a year. Hit my GW two weeks ago.
However, I don't want to move on to a more intermediate lifting program because I'm not looking to become extremely buff. To add to this, I just bought a couple expensive bespoked suits for a new job, and I don't want to become too large for them. I'm happy with where I am and want to remain healthy.
So where do I go from here? Do I just lift my current weights in perpetuity? Do I reduce my gym visits to once a week with slow progressions? Is there an alternative workout that will keep my in shape, but minimize getting too large? Should I switch to cardio? Are there "toning" regiments as opposed to strenght/atrophy regiments? Is maintaining a lot easier than I'm making it out to be?
I think I could still safely do linear progressions for a few more months before I'll start worrying about my clothes, and I want to know what to do at that point.

What the difference between 40lbs everyday items and 40lbs weights/dumbbells?
I’m not sure exactly where this goes, but this seemed like a close enough topic for this subreddit? I’m applying for a job where I’ll have to be carrying tons of large items, the listing said I’d have to be able carry around 40-45lbs. The problem is I can barely even pick up a 25lbs weight, much less a 40-45lbs weight. But I googled items that are 40lbs and things like, a large bag of dog food or a 3 year old child or a canoe, came up; and while I’m not the best at carrying those things -I know I have an easier time picking those items up than a weight. So, what would be the reason I could lift a 40lbs bag of kibble, or a toddler, but not a 40lbs dumbbell? What’s the difference? Weight distribution?

Starting strength/Stronglifts question - How should I put my exercises in order?
Hi, I will be starting the Stronglifts 5 x 5 next Tuesday (as a novice and light lifter) and would like to know how should I put my exercises in order in a 2 sessions a week schedule - 3rd day being for yoga/BJJ.
After extensive research, I learned that heavy squat and deadlift on the same day would be detrimental to my progress and, on the same day, should do one and a variation of the other (then switch it for the next session). Anyways, I managed to put together the following:
Thursday:
- Front squat
- Bench
- Deadlift
Saturday:
- Deadlift
- Bench
- Back squat
Thanks for your responses.

Getting sore from deload week
Hi everyone. I’m currently doing a deload week in which I do about 50% of strength and about 75% of my usual sets, but for some reason I am noticing I am getting more sore than average. Is it because with lighter weight I get cleaner form?

Good routines to get started?
I just started testosterone and my Dr. told me to be careful about strength training, because my ligaments could tear if I go too fast. I'm just starting to get active after a sedentary lifestyle. I currently weigh 280 pounds.
So, any advice on what to do at the gym that will get me strong but not super buff? Just toned and in shape. I'm 100% lost on routines, machines, whatnot.
No increase in strength for weeks
I've been doing practically the same weights for 2-3 months now, they've been just as difficult every time and I do them to near-failure with muscle-fatigue and struggling on the last reps, but haven't been able to increase the weight. I've tried forcing it, but usually sacrifice form or fail on the last rep. I've been eating 1g of protein per pound and getting 8 hours of sleep a night.
I've been following this program pretty closely. People say increasing 2.5-5 lb a week is slow, but it takes me months and I've only been training for a year. Is there something I could be doing wrong?
I look more toned, feel stronger, and visually have more defined muscles yet my body fat percentage has increased and muscle mass has decreased?
I am so confused. My measurements don’t make much sense to what I’m noticing/people have been commenting on.
Does anyone have an explanation?
Food For Child
There are obvious differences in the roles mothers and fathers play in the household while raising children. One thing is for certain however; your child must eat.
We are a baby formula household so that job can be shared by both me and my wife. I have to say that feeding your child is one of the most rewarding (although often frustrating) tasks you can do as a parent.

How to get strong fast
I have about 7 weeks left before I move to a different country and start a new chapter in my life and want to get as fit as I can before I leave. Was doing SL for about 6 months consistently before an injury that left me pretty much stagnant for the last 5 weeks. Was thinking of continuing SL 3x/week and adding HIIT 2x/week. Any thoughts?

What are some advanced novice/intermediate powerlifting routines that still treat the OHP as a main lift?
I was really interested in Jonnie Candito's 4 day linear program but then saw how the OHP was incorporated. In fact it's not incorporated at all, just two slots a week for "shoulder exercise" and only 16 working reps combined.
That makes sense from a power lifting standpoint, but I just want to be strong on all compounds and don't plan on prepping for a meet any time soon. This is Candito's Strength/Control program. I either want to tweak it or find something similar out there that was created when OHP was still a competitive lift
Strength level
I'm 66 kg which is like 150 lbs? I've got no idea on my strength levels compared to others my weight and I hope someone here could rate my relative strength.
My lifts: Bench Press: 85 kg x 4 Squats: 105 kg x 4 Deadlifts: 115 kg x 5 Overhead Press: 55 kg x 6 Pendlay Rows: 60kg x 6 Weighted Dips: 25 x 8 Weighted Chins: 15 x 5

Should you do cardio when looking to build muscle and strength?
Your goal is to build muscle and strength, right?
But you don’t want to get fat in the process, so adding cardio makes a lot of sense as it should keep fat gain in check during a lean-bulk. But you’re confused…
On one end you hear the recommendation that you should perform one hour of low intensity cardio multiple times per week during your lean-bulks in order to stay lean.
While on the other end you hear the recommendation that you should avoid all activity outside of lifting weights, especially cardio, as this will harm your gains in muscle mass (and strength).
Confusing right... I totally agree.
So, who’s right?
Well, I just researched the web about this and it looks like it's smart to do at least a bit of cardio when bulking. More specifically, there seems to be six benefits.
However, not all cardio are created equal either, as some are better than others when the main goal is muscle growth.
I put everything I could find together in a blog post and video that you can find here:

Gyms where people make friends???
This is kind of a cheesy question, but sometimes on YouTube and different places I'll hear people reference all of the friends they've made at the gym, like it's a community of some sort. I go to LA Fitness and have been for years, and I have never made any friends there. I hate basically all workout classes and I don't play basketball (maybe those are my problems?).
Are there any gyms where there is a community around getting strong, athletic training, perhaps bodybuilding or powerlifting or just lifting weights? Where people can learn from each other and become friends?

Crazy middle/upper back and ab workout ideas?
I am bored with chinups/pullups (maybe I fed to buy a weight belt) and basic type or row or mid back exercise besides cable rows with a narrow grip.
My goal in training is to be light and bouncy on my hands and feet like a monkey, and to be really strong while doing that and apply this to some sort of competitive/performance activity.
Any ideas for a crazy fun stimulating workout that will really exhaust me?
How to increase weight/size healthily?
Hey there, I am looking to, obviously, get big lol. I have been lifting most days of the week for the last 2 years without a specific program. I am looking to truly get into lifting and increase my size greatly. I am a 17 M with a weight of 135lbs. My max bench, last I checked a few months ago (I have been using a bowflex since then), was 150lbs. Also am 5'7", short and stout sadly lol. So, any ideas?

How did you guys get over gym-intimidation? Advice needed for a beginner!
Hi everyone!
I am 20 F and I have always been self conscious about my arms because of how untoned they are lol. I've been looking into incorporating weightlifting into my exercise routine since I do mainly cardio from dancing. I'd like to know how did everyone start off and got over their fear of being judged at the gym. My main goal is to get toned and maintain my body figure. I've never touched weights before so I appreciate any tips and tricks would be much appreciated :)
How does my routine look for getting jacked?
Looking to just overall get bigger and build muscle. I want arms and pecs that will fill a t shirt, decent abs, and decent legs. I don't think I want overly huge thighs but coming close to filling shorts would be nice.
As far as my routine - I'm doing the 915 program right now to gain strength and muscle mass. 9 weeks is supposed to give you 15% gains on all major lifts and add around 5-7 lbs of muscle mass. The schedule for this is:
- Monday - deadlifts
- Tuesday - off
- Wednesday - bench and squat
- Thursday - off
- Friday - cleans
- Saturday - biceps and abs
- Sunday - bench and squat
Anywhere from 2-5 sets and 1-6 reps on the main lifts - first three weeks are 5x4/5x5/5x6, next four are sets of 2, and the final week is setting new maxes to do the program again and it's single sets. You're never doing below 80% of your max on the lifts and you're working up to 115% of your max at the end. As far as assistance, the first three weeks have two assistance exercises to attack weaknesses around the main lifts. Next three are split, one to attack weaknesses and one to get you used to heavy weights. Then weeks seven and eight are split between getting you used to heavier weights and amplifying your strongest points. Ninth week is no assistance work.
I'm wondering if this program will be good to help me get bigger arms and pecs, plus throw in abs and decent legs. I don't want the typical powerlifter body but I enjoy doing heavy weights on the big three lifts, so a bodybuilder routine is probably not the best.
Maybe I could do this program the full 9 weeks, then do a 3-4 week program focusing on upper body with occasional leg days?
Thanks for any help

A year after starting to lift again: should I make any adjustments?
I lifted in my mid-twenties for a couple of years as a casual/novice gym-goer. Now I'm just over thirty (male) and a year ago I convinced a buddy to give lifting a shot.
For the past year we have been following a simple routine based on the Stronglifts 5x5 workout. We only hit the gym twice a week instead of the typical 3+ times. To be honest, in the past I came to really dread the gym (these days I look forward to it). This decision was all about making it easier to maintain long term consistency. In my opinion, it has worked out surprisingly well.
Some personal stats and recent workout/log are at the bottom of the post.
Some notes/questions:
- I do just a couple of ab exercises not included in my logs below about once a week because in the past I had a sports hernia injury where a not-strong-enough core was probably a factor. How much can I trust my current workout to strengthen my core over time?
- Grip strength is my limiting factor in deadlifts. I use a raw mixed grip. Is there a small tweak I can make to my routine to improve my grip strength faster?
- How low should I be squatting? In particular, as the last sets/reps become more challenging, is it better to cut my set short or is it okay if I don't push the range as much?
- I have always felt weak on bench press. I feel like I've plateaued a bit but I'm not sure what to do about it. The first couple of sets start out strong, but I struggle by the third one so I usually drop a few pounds in order to get through more sets/reps. Is there another approach I should try?
- Does anything about my numbers stand out (i.e. a certain ratio looking very wrong)?
- Any other general recommendations?

Strength Training is the bomb
I just want to say, I've been focusing on strength training the last few weeks and I find I'm having so much fun. I used to train with my buddies who focus more on the bodybuilding aspect and I always felt just a bit iffy about it, doing the exercises with the goal of improving my physical appearance. But since all my friends were doing it I just went with the flow. But 3 weeks ago I tried to do a strength training for the kicks of it and boy was it awesome. I thought the waiting time (I do 3 mins between sets) between sets would put me off but the feeling of being able to push my body to its max for each set of reps feels awesome. It's given me so much focus just to try and complete each set to its max and I love the fact that I can focus only on the bread and butter exercises such as deadlifts and squats instead of just benches and military presses (my friends weren't into leg lifts too much). My motivation shot up times 10 and I now regularly hit the gym and it feels amazing instead of something I force myself to do.
Anyway, this turned into a bit of a wall of text, but as an initial skeptic I am now a converted believer and I just wanted to share. Please accept me into your strongman tribe if you will, I hope with a bit of effort I can prove myself to being one of you :D lift on my friends!

Does my trainer know what he’s doing?
So in May when I started whole 30 with wife I hit gym hard got a trainer and followed instructions. I was doubtful of plan whole time but I went with it. Unfortunately I lost 2 lbs even though I was very strict. I stopped and saw a doc who said my issues were hormonal (thyroid and low test).
Now my hormones are balanced. Doc said time to hit gym and diet. He suggested keto. So in last 8 days I’m down 18 lbs and ready to start hitting gym. I’m a bit concerned after reading how everyone supports SS or stronglifts.
Would someone mind looking at what trainer wrote out and tell me what they think? I’d really appreciate it. He also had a diet for me to follow that seemed to be traditional 5 to 6 meals a day. Kerto is working so I’d like to stick with that now but I really wanna do right in gym . Please take a look. I’m open to stronglifts or SS just not sure if that’s right for me as I’m 35.

Shoulders are being left behind
hey,
i've been going to the gym for a couple of months now and haven't seen much progress in shoulder area. While other muscles are visibly and psychially stronger, shoulders don't seem to get much bigger. I was wondering maybe someone can help me out with some tips :)
Here are my shoulder excercises:
Upright Barbell Row - 4x8 - i think this one is helping because shoulders after a rep feel like they got worked
Dumbbell Shoulder Press - 4x8 - im not sure. not feeling anything intently. perhaps im doing it with too light dumbbells.
Front Two-Dumbbell Raise - 4x8 - feels reallly uncomfortable almost as im lifting it with my joint rather than the muscle. haven't been able to raise the weight on my reps since the beginning.
Side Lateral Raise - 4x8 - same as above basically
there's also the problem that the equipment is narrow. Different dumbbells, barbell and a machine with different switchable handles which allows to do pulldowns and cable rows for example.
my days are chest/tric, leg/shoulder and back/bicep if that's any help.

Lifting for explosiveness and fast twitch muscle fibers?
Hey guys, I've been doing MT for about a year now and I'd like to start lifting for strength, explosivness and to improve fast twitch muscle fibers
( I don't know if this stuff is even real but I've done like two days of research and this stuff gets brought up a lot for athlete training )
I've done weightlifting in the past but it was for aesthetics so I'm coming in as a novice with really good cardio.
Should I do something like SS and focus on lifting with "explosiveness" or are there any programs you guys could recommend? Any suggestions/advice would be great, thanks yawl
