I dont have a penis yet

I believe there is a storage unit being auctioned off in Sydney tomorrow filled with ex-commercial gym gear/equipment.. Trying to get details, however my contact isn't being as forthcoming as he should! Lol.

So if anyone is interested, will post up details when I manage to get a hold of them.

Pull ups and benching will usually suffice in the shoulder development department. If you're talking about "aesthetics", well, you're probably asking in the wrong forum..

If you are talking shoulder strength then pullups and bench arent going to cut it , unless you are wanting pretty ordinary abillity. Military/push press over bench any day. Balanced with external rotation movements to build strength through that motion. Thorasic spine and shoulder girdle strength are most peoples weak links.

Speaking as someone who used to do strict military press with more than 100kg for reps, including cleaning the weight (not off a rack)

You seem fairly knowledgeable in these areas rev, care to offer any insight on good ways to strengthen thoracic and shoulder girdle?

On another note, how do you guys stop your legs from bleeding doing deads? Long socks?

[Birds]

You don't have to drag the bar up your legs; you can pull the bar just in front of the shins etc.

Just give it time and practice...

Haven't had scraped shins for ages, but I used to get scabs when I was first starting out.

[r31slpr]

Don't have a problem when I'm doing normal deads. Doing rdls at the moment and it's more comfortable to keep it close. Think I might try socks

[Birds]

Socks / cup of cement, same thing

[Birds]

Curiously, if you can do normal deads how come you're doing Romanians?

Haha doesn't bother me, but some people get worried if, god forbid, a drop of blood gets on the bar.

Changed my training style a while back and these fit well into what I'm doing

I wear pants whenever I do deads, has helped but I still get bruising

Anyone in here ever had a tonsillectomy before?

[Birds]

Nope, have toyed with the idea of it but tonsilitis not frequent enough. Interested to hear from others who've had it as an adult...

Holy crap man, calves night kills

[bozodos]

mfw I have bigger calves than everyone in the gym apart from the 1 competetive bodybuilder and don't do any calf isolations at all.

regretting doing heavy db rows yesterday then heavy deadlift and volume squat today - lats and upper back did not want.
