FlashCards Deluxe - Quiz Questions
Learned 119 of 283 cards

Will read another chapter later today and update. Learned a bunch more practice questions. I got ahead of myself now; the practice questions I know the answers to, I haven't even read about those sections yet in the book.

Thinking of adding more practice questions if I can find some more (free) practice tests online. I want to get up to 500 questions. Chances are maybe 2% of those will be on the actual exam, but hey the exam is only 90 questions! That's a free 10 questions I get correct.

Maybe that site raptor linked me to has braindumps?! I just found out what braindumps were.

Edit: ended up not reading a chapter. did go back over my quiz questions though.

Yea, exam questions from previous exams. Many are re-used. Even if zero were re-used, it would still help me with the types of questions being asked. This god damn book is 700+ pages!

I stated earlier that i would have liked to do upright rows because i felt like i could progress on them indefinitely (and db shoulder presses just workout my tris too much), but i wouldnt do them due to them wrecking people's shoulders apparently

i found this vid though! I'll give these a shot:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SnVJDt7jts" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SnVJDt7jts</a>

basically do a DB upright row with some external rotation

FWIW , I did upright rows for quite some time the last years. The reason i did them was because they supposedly target the lateral deltoids as opposed to typical OHP that targets the anterior deltoids.
Loved them, no problems at all with shoudlers and/or back. Not particularly strong though, doing sets of 10-12 with 40-45kg, so maybe the load was too light to cause damage, weakness saved me. Also, and maybe that made a difference, i was using the EZ bar.
Also great exercise for big shoulders without wrecking them or back, KFs recommendation, seated neutral grip DB OHP.
1c ( n=1 experience and no theory back-up , so not even worth 2 cents :D )

^ Hey thanks I'll try em out! I never tried neutral grip DB shoulder press before. Only standard grip, which works out my tris way too much to the point where my delts never grew but my tris would overtake them. Same with bench presses, chest never grew. So for the past few years i've taken the tris out of the equation as much as I could: no OHP, just lateral raises, and wide grip benches. I finally have pecs and delts now. Tris are still growing anyway lol.

435 wasnt a true max at all. Didnt hype up for it. I was nervous though and therefore a bit adrenalized but i could have it it without adrenaline as well. It was very little.

Both PRs. I hit 385x5 on monday as well, but it knees were caving in on last rep of it. This is more solid for sure. On my phone so ill update this post with the full workout tmrw

You should do them in the squat rack, you won't be hitting the safeties.

Oh I think youre right! I usually hit the safeties at other gyms but probably won't there.




I weigh 200lbs in the morning after poop n pee though. No longer 196ish. It's just glycogen storage though.
I think starting May I'll go on an official cut and keep a calorie log. Want to get down to under 195. Hopefully I can keep this strength.
