Ill try to lower the weight and do more sets/reps. See how that goes for me. Also, I think im gonna start doing close grip bench. A lot of people I know do that and it seems to work. I will have to give the triangle pushups a try also.

how do you guys do close-grip bench? i always feel like i'm fucking up my wrists man

try reverse bench.. but make sure you haev a spot when you do it
(palms facing your head instead of your feet)

(alot of people dont recomend it though for some reason) but it makes it easier to keep your elbows in

if your wrists are hurting try wrist straps

Make sure you keep your knuckles facing the ceiling when bringing the weight down. A lot of people try and use too much weight and their knuckles start to rotate back toward their head as they bring the weight down, thus putting a lot of strain on their wrists.

extend your arms perfectly straight and grab bar. they dont have to be that close together. The tricep is only muscle that extends arm. Just lower the weight and no other muscle like chest will try to jump in.

btw....went to gym today shoulders feelin pretty darn good...did some arnold presses with 5lbs and then incline flies with 40 (my usual)...felt good. Im gonna continue icing and Ibuprofen for a few days now and only work legs and abs....but yeah. looks like it was just a temporary strain!! w00t.

what do you guys take in terms of supplemental vitamins?

are flintstone chewables still the standard?

i dont really but probably should hehe

Oh man I used to love Flintstone vitamins! I take Centrum, Vitamin C, Caltrate (Calcium), Fish Oil & Flax Seed Oil for EFA's, Zinc and Garlic. Zinc and Garlic are mainly because it's flu season.

lads, i was walking to the bust the other day and got really bad pain in my calf/shine area, i take it this is shine splints?

how do i help stop this> happened again on me treadmill, any stretches to do? or will it go away on its own?

aye stand up and lift your foot off the ground as high as you can without getting heel off ground and then rotate the foot outwards to about 50 degrees off center. then put it down. repeat this and do 3x15 with that a day. also dont run on inclines and dont lift your toes so much when you run. Lighter shoes help

cheers.
