Hi James,

I know that you don't need me to write anything here, but I figured that I would give you some positive feedback while requesting your free workout. 

I have volumes two and three of yours, and have found that you really know what you are talking about. I have told my friends and students (I am a high school physics teacher) about the results that I have gotten from your workouts.

My Answer:  Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad that the workouts have helped you out.  Being a parent myself, I've been showing more concern about the educational system.

My wife works at a high school as well.  Anyway I want to thank you for educating our youth as a high school teacher. A tough and under-appreciated job, but one that is crucial to our society's future.



Q: Hi, I'm an experienced weight trainer.  Can you recommend the correct volume book of yours that I should get? I read some things on your blog about cutting up with fast paced workouts, using weight training as aerobic exercise.  Can you tell me what book would be best for that? And also where I may be able to get it as an E-book?

Thanks,
Steve G.


My Answer: Strength and Physique: The Articles has a chapter on 7 different ways to use strength training as a means to fat loss. You can get the E-book download at Lulu.com or on the Kindle app.




Q: I just finished reading your article on widening your back. I was just wondering if you do all four techniques in one workout? My problem is my chest, arms, and shoulders develop very quickly especially as compared to my back. 

Recently, I've resorted to just focusing on low weight and high repetitions on my chest, shoulders, and arms and heavy weights and low repetitions for my back. It's been successful to a certain degree as at least my physique is a bit more balanced. However I feel like I need to change things up as my back is no longer reacting to my work out which is why I stumbled on your article about widening the back.

Hope you can clarify my query and if you have any further advice that would be great.

Thanks!

My Answer: Yes each technique is a workout. Hence the title Wingspan WorkoutS. What you can do is rotate through each of the workouts for your back and put all other body parts on maintenance mode: 3 sets of 6-8 reps. This is a much better way of maintaining size and strength on your chest, arms and shoulders as opposed to employing high reps.

Targeting the Deltoids, Minimizing the Traps

Image
Q:  I've read your article about shoulder workouts as well as many others, and I have a question. I really appreciate if you can spare some time to answer it. I heard from almost everywhere that you can get wider shoulders by working out. I have a very slim body (56 kg, 172 cm tall, 24 year old male) and very narrow shoulders. The width of my shoulders is only two times of the width of my head (1/2). I checked this ratio by measuring photos of a man with broad shoulders, and this ratio is usually 1/3. I know it has a lot to do with genetics, but how much exactly can you add to your shoulder size by workout? Someone told me that you can add 2 centimeters to each side at a total of 4 cm maximum. Even if that's true, by working out my deltoids I will also work my trapezius muscles as well, even if I don't want to. And the growth of the trapezius makes your shoulders look narrow, because it gives your shoulders an angle to the ground rather than being nearly parallel to...

Bench Press to Increase Pushups

Image
Q: I must say I enjoy reading what you write and find you somewhat an inspiration. I have wanted to be a police officer my entire life, but considering a juvenile criminal record (JUST expunged) I can't join the Marines as an MP. I can't join period either, because I got my GED and so I'm volunteering at the YMCA, and answering phones at the fire department until I start college for a degree in Education. I do have one area of concern. I used to box. I'm 17, but started boxing when I was 16. I weighed 115 and was benching 180. Around New Year’s I cut myself on the wrist and severed several tendons, which put me to all running and biking for a good many months. Just this past month I've gotten back to work out, but I've found myself hesitating from the bench press due to a concern that it might affect my push up reps. My goal I've set is 100 push ups by New Year's, as well as squatting 200 pounds 20 times, running 5k, and 20+ chin ups. It...

Leg Presses and 5x5

Image
Q: What's your opinion on the 5x5 training programs? They are very well liked by many.  Also, because of tight hamstrings, I like leg presses better than squats. Are leg presses effective? Squats are very useful and build overall strength. Can the same be said about leg presses? -CS My Answer: The 5x5 is a solid program and has been around for a long, long time. Of all the programs floating around in the gym, it is second to the 10-8-6-15 program as far as popularity. But while the 5x5 is a solid program by itself, it works even better as a decompression program, which I go over in Strength and Physique: The Articles . As far as leg presses, it really depends on what your goal is. If you're an athlete looking to gain real world strength and size, then the leg press won't do anything for you unless you're a speed skater. If you're just concerned about size and nothing else, then the leg press is good choice, even better than the squat. Q: ...
