You'll more than likely see negative gains doing that.
Just over working yourself.

Place them on your knees, then hoist (sp) them up one at a time using your knees.... works everytime

had the same trouble when i started lifting, just get comfortable with lower weight first and use momentum to get one up at a time.
might need some practice, key is using your knees

Scott Herman is that dudeI just crossed an email I wrote Nov 2009. This is basically the first month I ever touched weights... had no idea what I was doing. 
Routine -4km run (<25mins)-Benchpress (50kg)-Tricep pull down (25kg)-machine row (50g)-crunches (70kg)-military press (10 kg/dumbbell)-barbell curl (15kg)-squats(15kg)

Also found this picture.. which was around the same time.

damn he goes pretty low on those

not that thats a heavy set for him but when i do my heavy sets i go a little past parallel, not sure if its good for your shoulders to go that low w/heavy weight

i just realized i forgot to hit traps today. #!%$

 

[durden7]

You dont go that low?

 

[peter80warrick]

sarcasm joe?

 

[joe camel smooth]

nah lol i guess i need to be going lower?

with bb i touch my chest/collar bone area but with DB's i dont touch my shoulders, i just bring the center of the DB's to like ear-level

guess i should fix that huh

edit: nvm i didnt actually watch him do a rep i just saw where he had them at the beginning.....i go about that low maybe a hair higher i thought he was bringing them down to his shoulders every rep

I just weighed in @ ###### 214

I don't understand how this is happening, I'm havent even been eating that bad + I've been going in on cardio....

Im not weighing myself again till this time next week, I might not even lift this week and do straight cardio....
The scale is the devil.

you shouldnt go too much by scale, since ones weight fluctuates alot throughout the day

I usually just go by mirror and how im looking

I wish i could gain 30 pounds in one year.

yup, your weight can stay the same, but you can tighten up your body.

only weigh yourself in the morning

 

[10 piece nuggets]

Im thinking of taking fish oil supplements every other day (or can I take it everyday like vitamins?). Ive read the health benefits and it sounds good.

Which is the best to take? GNC has its own brand for $9.99, wonder if its any different than the ones that are $30+

this is very true.

i lost 30 pounds last year and have now gotten stuck at 178ish. but i look like i'm still losing weight. i think the muscle i'm adding on every week is keeping me at the same weight, although i am still losing body fat.

 

[dj proto j]

i also wanted to mention i lost most of that weight by tightening up my diet and portion control. i can't emphasize enough how vital that is. at first i'd still be soooo hungry, but over time the smaller meals filled me up better.

i barely did any real cardio. i hate cardio. but i'm trying to do more this year to get off this final bit of body fat i want to lose.

i went from 208 in march to 178 by like july/august.

Are there any suppliments or methods to recover quicker from soreness? I've realized that i've been getting overpowered in my Judo classes, so i decided to hit the weights to get stronger with my martial arts. I've been weight training for about a month now, and i feel much stronger. But it sometimes takes me 4-5 days before one muscle group isnt' sore anymore. Any suggestions?

you can do it my dude! i'm 5'7" and before i started getting serious about lifting i was weighing like 140-145.

Now i'm at 165 usually.  You can do it! eat right and lift heavy

 

[supersaiyan415]
