That's correct. And with many lifts, I would argue that working out with dumbbells is definitely harder than a barbell for sure. Try doing the same weight you would normally do on the bench press with dumbbells instead. Whole different ballgame.
Olympic lifts aren't really in the cards for me mainly because the size of my home gym is so small. That's why I use powerblox dumbbells for pretty much everything. They take up such a small footprint space wise but still allow me to go all the way up to 130lbs. each.
Not sure yet. I've only been on it for a week but the research looked promising so I went for it. We'll see how it goes in the next month.
Please tell me the Olympia hopeful guys are 70 - 90 lbs heavier than I am, because if they aren't, they can hang those dreams up!
I don't believe that age determines who you are or what you should be. What I believe is that no matter what your age is, you can improve yourself in some way. Sure, time catches up with everybody at some point, but from what I see in this world, most people throw in the towel and give up on...
The most questionable supplement I take is Phosphatidic acid. Research from the University of Tampa on this can be found at http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/11/1/29
One person's "questionable" is another person's "whatever" so I will let you be the judge.
Aside from that, I take...
Here is where I'm at so far with things. Clearly the problem area for me is just below the navel area. It's just so hard to lose the fat there, especially at 43 years old. But it's actually better than it's been recently, so I'm encouraged to keep on going with the diet and workout program at...
I'm assuming since nobody else has ever complained about this yet, the problem may be specific to your setup.
What's your Operating System, Browser, and browser version?
Ok, forget the bashing comment. Let me clarify: We fully understand your point of view on this one subject from your past posts. I really appreciate your participation on ET, but there's simply no need for you to remind us repeatedly how you feel about this subject over and over again. So let's...
The one thing that will get you banned every time is being a one-trick pony. In other words, if the only reason you are here is to bash Jews, then there will come a time when you're banned. And it has nothing to do with Jews. If your only reason for being on ET is to bash astronauts, or to bash...
I've been doing that regimen since my gym flooded, so I guess it's been about three weeks now. And yes, I will stop mid rep instead of stopping at the rep before.
No. Currently I am doing a full body workout with 10 exercises per workout, and one set per exercise, all in the higher rep range of 15 - 20 per set. All sets are done to failure, meaning that I am going to the point that I can't fully complete a rep on my own. I'm not using a spotter so there's...
