Uh, just a minute, about that Parallel Back-Shin relation in the squat, something doesn't square with my old-school -Rippetoean physics-. no disrespect intended towards the alway helpful and wise Jeff here (whose videos I loop constantly in my own gym (and thus my need to know answer to this. if anyone - Dr J. himself would be wonderful! - could explain this, do (no smarmy answers please! I ask sincerely. First, in the low bar squat: yes, I can see how the back and shin can hold parallel, but only to a point. a true low bar would have the shins nearly (I said NEARLY) vertical, but the back is considerably more inclined then the the shins (see Thrall, Rippetoe, etc etc for verification. In the high-bar squat, while the back stays essentially vertical we know the knees MUST come out over the feet, quite below 90 degrees from ground, more like 60 degrees or so, thus not at all -parallel-. go try it. Three of us just did. No way could maintain parallel in full versions of both squat styles. Jeff-rey, you got some 'splaining to do.

I agree with him these are good exercises. You can get many of the same results with about one quarter of the work if you create a bodyweight workout and get the same muscles. I do a pushup into a squat, then do chinups to hit the biceps and back, handstand pushups against a flat wall for the shoulders, the only thing I am missing is the deadlift but I lift the metal dockplates at work by hand which is an identical movement. His routine is better but can't all be done on the same day without getting sore, getting a spotter and spending 45 minutes minimum at the gym and consuming allot of protein.

I just started in mid Jan 2020 with 1 & a half pull up. I trained 4 days a week, do a lot of isolation training for bicep and tricep, took 1. 5 hour, and still fresh at the end of the training. Last week I tried another program, 3 times a week (mon-wed-fri, and only do the compound training; in wednesday I even only train for around 30 m and add some abs training and in total spent only 45 m. I feel more tired with this compound training. Now I can do 6 repetition on pull up.

Hello Jeff! I have shoulder instability in both of my shoulders. I can no longer do bench press without reinjuring my shoulders. I also dislocated my left shoulder and gave myself a permanent deformity by having an anterior dislocation/deformity of my sternoclavicular joint. So far I have only been able to do push ups to develop my chest. What do you recommend? Any feedback from you would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much, have a great day!

From my 10 years of lifting and an undergrad Exercise Science degree, THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS VIDEO IS THE PART WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT THE ECCENTRIC CONTRACTION! This is true for any exercise: it's ONLY the eccentric phase of muscle contraction that leads to strength/muscle gains. The longer you actually spend in the eccentric phase, the more training value you'll reap from your workouts. Look it up then practice it, you won't regret it.

Problem with dumbbell shoulder press is that it's difficult (at least for me) to get heavy dumbbells into position. I'll start seated, then kick each dumbbell into position with my knee, then stand to perform the exercise (for better core activation. But I could do heavier weights if there were an elevated dumbbell rack or something to help me get the weights into place.

One thing you can add to this is to not cheat your curl by always being aware of your shoulders. People forget to keep their shoulders in the proper position and it's not good. They go to curl heavy weight and raise their shoulders up in the socket, it's a bad practice that keeps them from getting to where they need to be.
