For an isolation exercise to b maximally effective you should go to failure.
But muscle failure, not failure to do the movement. For example your delts might fail but you can still do a few more reps by ciompensating with the traps, which is something we don’t want.
If your traps are dominant, the normal lateral raise might not be the best choice to build the delts. And if you go with this movement do not lift the weights pas your shoulder joints otherwise the traps will take over.
If you feel it more in the traps than in the delts, the traps will grow more and will take away some growth away from the deltoids,
so this should be my money move… main move and i must be better at it…
the one thing with it is elbow line with shoulder or should it b e 45 degree?
i retract and depress my shoulder too… i lock elbow out…
as for my incline does it really build upper chest or like ppl say its for shoulder… ?
the wide grip upright barbell row?is it safe and does it eally hit side delt? and by hit i mean make it grow … if i reatract and dpress shoulder wont that take traps out of it t? also thank u also for ur reply… im truly grateful for u thank u …
for side raises i do it lying on incline bench and then i do the standing cable side raise…
so i hit the strnjth curve right … the line of pull
the article u post lately said it does…
hahah, good rebuttal. It might be that recently I havent felt my pecs work when doing floor presses. But I noticed that when I got back to the Olympic lifts and stopped doing chest work; well when I got back to regular strength lifting my chest was really hard to activate in any pressing movement.
So that lead me to believe that the floor press can be a good chest exercise IF you are good at recruiting your pecs to start with.
it really matters to feel the muscle… itts not like doing the muscle function loaded … i mean like the muscle job t… flexing the arm is biceps so we use dumbell to load it so it grows…? the feeling matters?
anther questhion… if straight babell hurts my wrist… can ez be better? i know its not fully supnaited
but stright bar hurts my left wrist so bad
@Christian_Thibaudeau i wanted to ask about the new lift u added… the dual cable corss over kneeling pull down the one for the lats. >>.How to Get Better Lat Development
by Christian Thibaudeau
i got feq questhions… reps and sets for these…
and can i do it 1 arm at a time so wont use the whole machine…
when doing it… should i retract and dpress my shoulder?
Honestly at your level focus on more basic exercises, this is a finishing touch movement for those who already have built a lot of muscle
at my lvl… okay how do u think i should lift? if not foucsing on lat is main thing
doing full body worouts 3 days a week like squat bench and deadlif 5x5 isnt really fun to me…
so im here looking for ur advice …
foucs on big basic lifts… i bench and i squat and i babrell row…
but the porblem is i do lots more variation of it … and here where i get lost
@Christian_Thibaudeauim im doing 5 3 1 bbb… bench and squat is fine but deadlifts every time i lower hips it tuks under… causes lower back round … i was told i have tight hips…so i dont compete and im not forced to deadlift as i only do it for strnjth and size … can u suggest a replacment for it
Why not ask Jim Wendler since you decided to do his program?
idk i wanted to ask u
The deadlift is a basic human pattern that everybody should be able to do, except if injured. If you cannot do it with proper technique it means that you have mobility problems that need to be fixed. Fix your problem instead of keeping it and looking for another exercise.
okay … when deadlift am i suppose to feel my hamstring loaded… like same feeling in rdl ?
You say you lose your lower back arch due to hip mobility (hip flexor tightness). Work on that.
Yes the hamstrings should be somewhat loaded but I cannot make recommendations with a video of you deadlifting
i didint show u any vid…but just an idea… if deadlift were a normal human pattern then why its so hard to learn…
when i asked for other lift it was because one of the article on t nathion said sumo deadlift require less hip mobilty… so i thought maybe i can use ti or squat stance dead instead… not being lazy or any thing cuz i know i need to pull from floor
thats what i meant actually…
It is very easy to learn. Tens of thousands of people do it. If you can’t do it then you were either taught the technique wrong or have a mobility issue preventing you from reaching the correct position. In which case instead of looking for an easy way out, why not fix the problem?
There are no universal exercises that you have to do. But I hate it when someone refuse to fix something fixable with his body.
Again, ask Wendler. It’s his program. I do not comment on other coaches programs. I can tell you that in MY programs when I write “deadlift” the person is free to select the deadlift variation they want.
