Using the 10 to 15 rep range is good for building muscle. But some people respond better to rep ranges between 5 and 8. If you have been following the 10 to 15 reps range for a year and have only gotten decent results then you might want to increase the intensity and train with lower volumes for a few months and see what kind of results you get. One thing for sure is that you are going to get stronger by using heavier weights and keeping your reps between 6 and 8. The only way to know if something is going to work for sure is to try it out. Try it and see what happens.

I have found that gymnastics training and calisthenics are best for developing core strength.

1st, I am doubtful that the workouts that you are doing is causing you to get the flu. Very often though over training can cause our immune systems becomes suppressed, this will obviously cause you to get sick easier. I’m not sure this is the case for you but it is more likely than the actual workout itself giving you the flu.

Next, to be honest I don’t have any particular method to use to combat fat loss plateaus.

I prefer the overhead press to the bench press and I make that known in the Grow stronger method.

Number 1. There are great exercises to develop the extension capacity of your forearms. Do a Google search for Jed Johnson, he’s got tons of great grip and forearm workouts that will continue to create strength and balance in your hands and wrists.

Number 2. I’m pretty sure that your late-night exercises to burn calories after getting trashed really isn’t helping that much. Your best bet is to drink a gallon of water and get to bed. Your body needs to recover from all of the alcohol and lack of sleep. Extra exercise is is going to stress your body out even more. Recover from the partying, then get back on track.

Chris,

You are probably doing all the right things, you’ll just need to be patient. Continue to train with your team do push-ups pull ups and the barbell lifts that they teach you at practice.

In a few months you are probably going to hit a growth spurt, at that time the all of your numbers blow through the roof. Keep up the hard work and it will all pay off in the end. Good luck buddy.

Deadlifts are the absolute best exercise for building thoracic extension. Front squats are a close 2nd. Make sure you’re using both of these exercises in your training program.

Your scapula wings because the muscles in your mid back or week, front squats and deadlifts will help strengthen those muscles. Good luck.

this is funny because I am more comfortable speaking in front of large crowds than actually speaking with someone one-on-one. I think I’m the exact opposite of you

like with anything else that you’d like to strengthen you got to exercise that muscle speaking in front of large crowds become an exercise for you, practiced doing it more often and it will become easier.

it sounds like you are on the right path. You are using a concurrent training style, or hybrid style. This is where you aim to build size and strength at the same time.

Wendler’s Program is pretty good for making this happen since there is powerlifting and somebody building in the program. The gross wrong or method is different, there is no bodybuilding in this routine is pure powerlifting followed by gymnastic body weight exercises.

This may not be the best option for you if you are trying to build more muscle.

Hey Michael, this is pretty simple. All you have to do is spend extra time developing the strength in that weaker leg.

The way I would begin doing that is with single leg toe touches, this is where you stand on one leg and reach the opposite hand towards that leg almost like a modified single leg squat. When you can do 10 toe touches with your eyes open then begin to work on doing them with your eyes closed. What we are doing here is teaching the nervous system how to talk to that leg again.

As you gain better stability in that leg You will want to learn how to do pistol squats. 1st pistol squat down to where you are sitting on a chair or bench, then work it so that you can squat all the way down eventually.

Do this only on that previously injured leg, not on your stronger one.

in time you might find that this leg becomes stronger than your uninjured leg.
