Likewise

Certain exercises, excessive range of motion is unnecessary and even harmful.

i'm not even talking about the 1/4 squat thing which has been around forever (and not with big strong people doing board presses or partial reps on purpose)

I'm talking about regular (weak) people doing bench and shoulder presses where people go down to a 90 degree bend in the elbow and then stop
WTF??????
bench press TOUCH THE FREAKING CHEST, TOUCH THE FREAKING SHOULDERS
full range of motion

seriously, where did this stupid idea come from? (it's never on big strong people either, I wonder why)

Why so angry lol. I see people do ridiculous things at the gym all the time.

What do you guys recommend for a pre-workout? I need a change and the stuff I am taking right (C-4) now isn't cutting it.

I am taking a post workout stuff, it's called afterglow. Really good stuff and I am digging it a lot.

I've taken quite a few different ones. One of my favorites, and my current choice is Amino energy from Optimum nutrition. No creatine, so if that is what you are after it may not be for you.

Thanks for the tip Hurley, I will see if I can find it at my local supplement place.

Been hitting it hard thus week, bench has increased by 10lbs, I might even try a max out this week and see what/where I am at!

I take the muscle pharm assault. I love it. It seems to be a good steady pump and no tingly feeling.

Taken that as well, definitely a good product, and some of the best tasting.

The personal trainer I was going to for about a year said that there is no more benefit to going more than 90 degrees/parallel to the floor and you open up the possibility of injury exponentially.

This ^^^

Did a nice chest/shoulder/tricep workout tonight. I have been slacking the last few weeks sitting in hospice for a week with my mom and then loseing her has taken its toll on me! I started drinking soda again and eating bad, gained about 15# and have been working out about once a week. I need to regain my motivation and try something different. Anybody do cross fit? Have thought about it lately to maybe motivate me. I bench all the weight I have now so its either buy more weights or join a gym of some kind, in Vegas I went to the gym religiously to watch the hotties but all I see is fatties at the gyms in Greeley.
