    just want to clarify, isnt a rule that an exercise
    should be executed with full rom? i need your
    suggestion in the exercise bicep curl, isnt that when
    u flex ur arm with the db (curl) the weight goes with
    the elbow and not in the biceps? meaning there is no
    way or chance that u can build the mass on ur biceps
    coz when its being curled with full rom, the impact
    just go to our elbows..i think the law of work applies
    to it.. any comments?
    [align=right][size=x-small]Source...[/size][/align]
    Any elbow flexion exercise involves the biceps, be it
    as prime movers or secondary movers. During the
    lowering phase of the curl, the "brakes" are applied
    by the triceps causing as to prevent damage to the
    elbow


    For your first question, Actually, no. There is also
    such a thing as full ROM and effective ROM.

    Have you tried reading any physiology and anatomy?
    [align=right][size=x-small]Source...[/size][/align]
    uhmm nope.. so meaning.. ok lng kht nka full rom un?
    so how will u apply the effective rom on the biceps
    curl?
    [align=right][size=x-small]Source...[/size][/align]
    Full ROM is best in curls as some exercises, full ROM
    is not effective ROM, in curls effective and full ROM
    are the same. However, if you want to improve your
    curls, get your pullups and rows heavier. I can name
    several guys who have big arms but don't curl and are
    doing a lot of pullups and heavy rows. I also know
    guys who curl endlessly but don't have nice arms
    [align=right][size=x-small]Source...[/size][/align]

    is it true that when having a lockout our joints are
    pressured? if that's the case..how will it be avoided?
    [align=right][size=x-small]Source...[/size][/align]

    This has been and endless debate. Provided you don't
    jerk the movements, you won't put any undue pressure
    to the joints

    What are the exercises that you can recommend to someone recovering from a lower back injury? I'm currently sidelined due to lower back injury and I'm planning to go back to the gym after about 3 more weeks. Any recommendations? What are the safest exercises for the biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, legs and back?

    Sorry to hear bro - I've had too many lower back issues over the years to count. It all depends on the extent of your injury. A serious lower back injury can transform you from feeling like Superman one minute to feeling like a 100 y.o man who can barely walk without severe pain. In general, avoid ANYTHING that causes more pain. Certainly avoid any bent-over type exercises or exercises that put alot of pressure on the lumbar, ie, squats, deads, any rows, standing ohp. There's been times when I had so much pain that I couldn't even function - hurt to walk, sit down, little things we do in our daily lives. If you are in THAT much pain, then I would just rest and let time heal it more before you try hitting the gym. If however the pain is minimal and you can indeed function, you can do light workouts including lat pulldowns for back (no arching back), bench work, ie presses, flyes , skullcrushers ,etc with your feet up on the bench to keep pressure off the lumbar. You can do various curls - just don't cheat any to keep the lumbar out of it. Legs is tricky, because even leg presses can put pressure on the lumbar. Keep in mind, if ANY of those exercises I mentioned causes any pain, then don't do it. Last but not least, get checked out with a doc so you know what you are dealing with - lumbar strain, while can cause severe pain, usually is healed within 2 - 4 weeks if you baby it. However, something more serious as a slipped or herniated disc is a different monster and can take a very long time of aggressive rehab to recover. In the meantime, you can do some of your own rehab therapy at home via alternating ice and warm compress on the lumbar throughout the day. Good luck.

    Thanks man. Actually, I'm feeling a lot better now. I can now stand straight and I can now walk fast. I do experience some sharp pain every now and then, but unlike in the past two days when I can't stand straight. I just came from the mall and did a lot of walking without any problems. I sat at a restaurant for about an hour and I didn't have any problems when I stood up.

    I tried doing pushups and dips at home and I was able to do them without any problems. I'll rest for two more days and will hit the gym on Monday to try some light work.

    Maybe I'll try some body weight exercises first for the legs like lunges and bodyweight squats to see what will happen. I'm just happy that I'm recovering quite nicely. I thought I would be out of commission for at least a month with the pain I experienced a couple of days ago. I couldn't even stand up from a lying down position without rolling on my sides first, and even that required a lot of effort.

    ohh kahit military? weird ah kasi parang pareho pressure nun sa wrist. patingin mo na yan hahaha :p
  • rtravino29rtravino29 Posts: 1,549
    weird ah kasi parang pareho pressure nun sa wrist.

    eto rin iniisip ko, since parehong push movement yung dalawa.

    @ xtend1220 - care to post vids ( kahit yung dati pa ) para makita natin bakit nanghihina yung left hand mo. Iniisip ko kase baka mamaya di pantay yung distribution nang bigat ( in terms of set up mo sa bench ) nang barbell. When you say left hand kase di ko gets kong wrist / shoulder eh heheh!
  • Recommended nga to do foam rollin before and after workout para maretain ang flexibility ng katawan. But it eats so much time nga lang. I guess, if you do other exercises that would involve stability and flexibility (yoga for example) on days outside your workout days, you could lessen your use of the foam roller and use it only when you have do lower body or back related exercises.

    Bali start ka na sa 'cutting' phase bro. Try reducing your calorie intake na at monitor mo weight mo. Ideal when losing weight is I believe around 1-1.5lbs a week. Losing more than this may be bad kasi baka muscle narin na bburn mo.

    As per sa workout, same intensity parin! As much as possible, try mo na d bumaba ung mga lifts mo.

    Thank You!

    sir ako nag papalit lang pag sa squats and deadlifts. ang gamit ko Chuck taylor. kasi nung bumigat na ung binubuhat ko, anything na malambot ung sole e nakakaapekto sa balance ko. para bang umaalon kaya hindi well distributed sa buong paa ko ung weight. ung sa chucks maayos kasi matigas ung sole nya chaka flat tlga ramdam mo ung lapag/sahig. natry ko din ung barefoot kaso di ko maadvice IMO kasi walang suporta ung gilid ng paa. walang sumasalo sakanya. sa ibang lifts kahit anong shoes pede! :D

    Thanks boss. This made sense.. I guess mag stick n lng nga ako sa flat shoes since hindi rin nman ako tumatakbo for me to choose running shoes.
    akala ko dati better ung mga running shoes/basketball shoes for weightlifting,

    Dati ginastusan ko pa ung sapatos ko pang buhat pero depende tlga sa gamit sir. I guess ok lang other shoes pag d ka naman gagamit ng paa mga tipong youre lying on the bench, or sitting on a machine yung mga ganyan. pero pag need mo ung ground i suggest tlga flats na matigas ung talampakan. BOOTS!!! pwede din boots pala! flat nun sarap ipang squat nun sir :)

    Guys, normal ba na mas malakas ka sa tricep bar push down kaysa tricep rope pull down ?

    Ito kasi kaya kong buhatin ngayon

    Tricep bar push down
    150 lbs x 10 reps
    150 lbs x 9 reps
    150 lbs x 8 reps

    Tricep rope pull down
    90 lbs x 8 reps
    90 lbs x 8 reps
    90 lbs x 4 reps


    Ang laki kasi ng difference
