2 Exercises to Avoid

Written by Marc David


If you want a good night, then avoid two of these old school moves.

Good Mornings:

Although I can't say I've seen these moves done in quite some time, I know that growing up I saw plenty of pictures of howrepparttar move should be done. If I had more then 3 wishes left in this lamp, I wish that somebody would go find every book and every website with this exercise and cross it out with a Sharpie pen.

I have a very good friend, who will remain nameless, that gave me another tidbit of advice. He's been instrumental in helping me train legs. I've never pushed myself so hard. So when he gives advice, I know it's coming from a reliable source that's much better then any scientific study.

He began with some good mornings. At first it wasrepparttar 115714 bar. Then it was 20 lbs. on each side. Pretty soon he was doing 225 lbs. That's a lot of weight. But havingrepparttar 115715 strength to do it andrepparttar 115716 youth, he pushed on. Until one day, POP! Forward he went, with 225 lbs. How he didn't break his neck is somewhat of a miracle.

As with any exercise, andrepparttar 115717 motivation of a bodybuilder, we will continue to push ourselves to new limits. But some exercises just don't produce any results worthrepparttar 115718 inherent risks associated. Good mornings are one of those exercises. There are many other options for compound movements that dorepparttar 115719 same thing but with much less of a risk. So skiprepparttar 115720 good mornings and try some dead-lifts or stiff-legged dead-lifts. You won't be missing out on anything by skippingrepparttar 115721 good mornings except maybe weeks of recovery or a broken neck.

Tendonitis and the Effects on Your Routine

Written by Marc David


What turns out to be a small, yet annoying pain in your joint, can quickly turn into something much more debilitating. At first, you just think it might be a pulled muscle. Maybe I did a bit too much weight? Butrepparttar intermediate to advanced bodybuilder knows what muscle soreness feels like after a workout. This isn’t it. But there is a potential solution.

My biceps routine, which was progressing quite nicely, turned into a non-existent routine (curling a 30lb dumbbell was impossible) after I was "officially" diagnosed with acute Tendonitis in my right arm (just belowrepparttar 115713 elbow joint). The doctor said that this particular Tendonitis doesn’t heal. It can get less painful butrepparttar 115714 micro tears and damage are permanent. As usual,repparttar 115715 recommendation was to 1) quit whatever aggravates it 2) use a cream that gives some heat torepparttar 115716 area.

Ratherrepparttar 115717 follow rule #1, because if you are a hardcore bodybuilder, just quittingrepparttar 115718 exercise isn’t how this injury happened inrepparttar 115719 first place. I found something that worked. I didn’t want to quit doing bicep curls. Bicep curls are one ofrepparttar 115720 most recommended exercises for building mass. It’s a simple, basic movement that works.
