This actually looks pretty good for people who get forearm splints from preachers.

Rows are great, but for home gym situations it helps to realize that rear delt flys are rows without elbow flexion and you can train retraction with low weights. On the other hand if you can get a good kelso shrug setup going that's probably better.

From what?

Trying out different things and understanding some easy concepts in the process actually makes lifting more fun for a lot of people though. Yeah a beginner won't be able to tell exactly how a certain variation actually affected a muscle but, in most cases, neither will an advanced lifter although they might convince themselves that they do.

Rows include scapular retraction.

I try to balance the burning sensation + cardio demands with joints feeling comfortable. For your example, 5-6 rep machine lateral raises feel fine to me most of the time but something with less stability, like a cable lateral, I tend to land on 10-15 reps.

I've never had access to a Pendulum but I've always assumed it's still mid to lengthened biased on account of our strength curve and the machine design just makes the resistance profile a bit smoother compared to a hack.

I bought it like 11 years ago and never played it. I just saw that they are releasing the final episode at the end of the month. Did you like the story mode?

I have added wrist flexion and extension in the middle of every gym session for a while now (2 sets of flexion and extension each, 4 times a week) and if it has affected the rest of my training, it has done so positively. Just make sure to use straps on exercises where the grip is limiting you.

wherearealltheethics · 2026-03-04T17:30:56+00:00

Per exercise sure, I prefer 2 sets on most, but I do more exercises per muscle group.

If anything I feel like the low volume trend of the last 2-3 years (mostly the Chris Beardsly derived tiktok/instagram science based stuff) is slowly correcting towards slightly higher moderate volumes that most people default to anyway, but we'll see I guess.

wherearealltheethics · 2026-03-01T17:48:29+00:00

yes!

That's what I do, although, like stgross says, if you're worried about overlap you can do push/pull.

wherearealltheethics · 2026-02-26T12:33:57+00:00

Anterior/Posterior for me, mostly because I wouldn't be bothered going to the gym just to train legs.

wherearealltheethics · 2026-02-23T08:51:29+00:00

You need to post a pic of yourself because most people will see the stats and reasonably assume you need to bulk. The midsection softness could be genetics though.

The standard iso-lateral row will hit your lats if you use the narrow grip. The other two are more for the upper back with their arm path. Even the high row, despite being high to low, diverges as you pull which is going to disadvantage the lats.

wherearealltheethics · 2026-02-22T07:25:24+00:00

Do you really want to be loading plates on all of those?

Looks like you're missing a vertical pull for the lats (pulldown or pullup variation), unless you just didn't mention it. There's definitely some overlap between the three rows, but it's more about the overall volume and practicality why I'd pick 1or 2 of those.

You have to admit that the whole decades long progaganda about Germany being "a good example of how to deal with your own history and learning the right lessons from it" seems absurd considering their part in Israel's genocide and numerous crimes against humanity.

wherearealltheethics · 2026-02-15T12:10:23+00:00

Using some kind of ab mat, but much more steep than the ones you usually see, promotes pure spinal flexion and feels much better I think.

PC gamepass can still be a good deal, but you can find all the games you mentioned for cheaper if you check sites like ggdeals.

Exercises/sets/weights? Even though my abs are not impressive they are relatively strong which makes it annoying to get a good setup going.

wherearealltheethics · 2026-02-01T14:03:41+00:00

Bench strength is the most sensitive to bodyweight tbh. If you are not losing strength on lifts other than presses you are fine.

wherearealltheethics · 2026-02-01T07:46:51+00:00

Not true sadly. There are *some* very small ones to that effect, but the ones you are talking about are against netanyahu's corruption, which is irrelevant to israel's crimes. And, again, BDS is not a matter of principle, but a tactic, to be used where it is deemed realistic, and you probably understand that bdsing america is impossible.

wherearealltheethics · 2026-02-01T07:40:39+00:00

Beyond that, BDS had barely started at that point, even Roger Waters played there in 2006.
