What muscles are targeted by these different variations of pull-ups: standard, chin-ups, and the neutral or parallel close grip pull-up? I have no problem with the answer, per se. I just don't think that it would be useful to the original poster couched in the verbiage that it is. I will add a spurious edit to remove my downvote since everyone feels so strongly about it. |

What muscles are targeted by these different variations of pull-ups: standard, chin-ups, and the neutral or parallel close grip pull-up? And isometric, eccentric, concentric? If you're going to use the technical terms for someone that very probably has a very limited to no understanding of physiology and muscle references, it should be explained what they are. An answer they can't understand is just as bad as no answer at all. While I understand what you mean, I don't think the OP would. |

What muscles are targeted by these different variations of pull-ups: standard, chin-ups, and the neutral or parallel close grip pull-up? If the person doesn't even know what muscles are used in this exercise, what makes you think they will know what supinated grip means? While your answer makes sense to me, it's going to be Greek to anyone that is asking what muscles are used. While I admire your polysyllabic tendencies, the target audience and their level of understanding should be considered when phrasing an answer. |

How to properly use Guideline Daily Amounts for determining my calorie consumption? If your base consumption to maintain weight is recommended at 2500 calories, and you are consuming 50% of that on a daily basis and not losing weight, somewhere you are not calculating things correctly. |

What is the “kernel” for a 4 decade training program for physical fitness? I've been in sports for 41 years (First swim meet when I was 4), so I could give you n=1 experience, but as it is, your question is way to wide spanning. |

What equipment is available to a layman for measuring blood values? Just as an aside, my background for a lot of this was my time in the Air Force as a Med Surgical ward tech, and 3 years as a primary tech in the ER, doing blood draws as part of normal duties. |

Bench pressing and deadlift on even days, squat and pull up on odd days. Is this all I need? @DaveLiepmann - I wasn't sure if it was just for strong/buff's sake, or if it was for a specific purpose, so was just trying to clarify. And re: magazines, even a broken watch is right twice a day. :D |

Exercises with a Torn Wrist Tendon Ok, then that makes sense. |

Shelf life of whey protein? I don't know about UK laws, but US food law requires an expiration date on the container. It is a dry powder, but there are small amounts of fat still in the mix, which could go rancid. Three months is probably well within the acceptable range, ~ 2 years is shelf life IIRC. One question, why only take it on lifting days? You should be planning a daily diet, rather than "spiking" on certain days. |
