Dec 18	comment	Exercises for a programmer sitting by the PC all day Yoga does not focus on proper shoulder alignment, which many programmers need fixed.

Dec 18	comment	Compound, total body exercises minimising quad and ham development More minimising than eliminating, so I don't mind if they're a secondary muscle worked, or like deadlifts, there's such a back benefit I don't mind too much that they're strong on the legs too. Yes, I'd like to squat less and I'm only doing one deadlifting workset a week, hence looking for replacements.
Dec 18	comment	Compound, total body exercises minimising quad and ham development @VPeric, yep, I'm doing GreySkull LP purposely for this reason.
Dec 18	comment	Compound, total body exercises minimising quad and ham development @Kate, I like the total body exercises due to the core involvement and applicability to every day activity. Goals are to strengthen lower back and widen upperbody to lose "bargearse" nickname (youtube.com/watch?v=eMmkJvUPsfE)

Dec 17	comment	Light-headedness after squats With my final set, my final rep suffers no loss of form (I'd stop if I feel loss of form simply knowing the injuries awaiting if I don't, plus I go down until I hit the safety bars so I can't cheat). I do feel I could make another rep, possibly two, but it would be vein-popping. By bailing out, I'm meaning I just stopping in the down position rather than collapsing from fatigue. Does that sound ok?
Dec 17	comment	Light-headedness after squats The light headedness only lasts for a second or two, so it's over before I'd have a chance to sit down.
Dec 16	comment	Light-headedness after squats I seem to bail out every week, so can't really say if I'd feel it if I racked standing up. I definitely don't get it in the initial 2 x 5 worksets, but I haven't reached the stage where they are taxing yet.

Dec 16	comment	Light-headedness after squats It's been happening pretty much since day 1 as the final set I seem to go to the same level of exertion.

Dec 15	comment	Avoid chest exercises for flat chest Maybe you have narrow shoulders, wider hips, giving the illusion of a peaky chest? A slumpy posture can also, as can internally rotated shoulders.
Dec 11	accepted	Does warmup volume have a detrimental effect on working set?
Dec 11	comment	Does warmup volume have a detrimental effect on working set? Squats and deadlifts around 100kg, shoulder press about half that, bench a bit more than half. Only a month training however and weights are still rocketing up, I'm more concerned about the future.
Dec 11	comment	Does warmup volume have a detrimental effect on working set? An less calculative selection of warmup weights could even lead unknowingly to a much greater warmup volume differences from week to week. Whereas I can understand warming up with too heavy weights can affect the worksets, I'm less clear on the effect of volume.
Dec 11	comment	Does warmup volume have a detrimental effect on working set? Well say one week work weight was 205#. 40% warmup set would be 82#, round to nearest 5# plate = 80#. Next week working weight is 207.5#, 40% rounded to nearest 5# plate is 85#. 5 reps with 5# more = 25# more volume for 40% set. No big deal. But if the same rounding happened for the 60% and 80% sets, you could be doing up to 50# more volume, which possibly could affect the work sets?
