http://scoobysworkshop.com When you are doing a chest workout at home and using heavy weights, you either need two spotters or need to use a self-spotting methods for safety. You can use a self-spotting rig or you can use the book method. This video is in preparartion for my advanced killer chest workout video where we will be using heavy weights so its important that you be able to do this safely. Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn't have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

Sep 18, 2008 - Evilcyber, I like you! If I had money I would hire you as a researcher. I had this shoulder safety stuff drilled into my head by an excellent physical therapist when recovering from shoulder surgery, I never saw the research references which they were based on. Thanks for finding the research!
scooby1961 Says:
Sep 18, 2008 - Tykketykke, Are you a physical therapist or orthopedic surgeon? All the physical therapists I have worked with say it is NOT safe to use the shoulder's entire range of motion.
TYKKETYKKE Says:
Sep 18, 2008 - As long as you are feeling no pain or having any difficulties while doing it, i still think you should. You will hear ALL the experts say, that rounding your back during deadlifts is the way to lower back problems - and look at Konstantin Konstanov. One of the best deadlifters in the world, and it doesn't look like he's experiencing problems using that technique. My point is, you shouldn't limit your growth in fear of injuries, if you are NOT experiencing any problems with full range of motion.

Sep 18, 2008 - Ha ha, guys, I dont know if you remember me, but I was the guy that asked why I keep seeing a guy eat hot cheetos everyday and yet he has a great body. Well, I finally asked him, and I think that his response was rather funny. He said "well, kinda funny of you to ask, but the truth is, this bag of chips is my only source of junkfood in a day. I also eat a chicken salad often, but im not a nazi so I cant just give up all that is tasty" Well, anyway I thought it was funny.

Sep 18, 2008 - Guys, personal question here. Im about 155 pounds, and five feet, 9 inches, and I would say that I'm in pretty good shape. (Think Peter Parker from the spiderman movie). I have a good chest, it is cut and well shaped, BUT I have a concern. Everything seems good, except for my nipples. My nipples are like those of a real fat person. They're big and pink, and look in the shape of pancakes, unless the weather gets cold., they shrink. Is there any possible solution to this problem?

Sep 18, 2008 - Three more chest vids coming your way to help out ... stay tuned
scooby1961 Says:
Sep 18, 2008 - If you are getting stronger each month, dont worry, the muscle mass will follow. If you are not getting stronger then its time to try some different techniques. Try different exercises. If you are doing high rep workouts, do low rep workouts or visa versa. Do drop sets if you are not doing them now or stop them if you are doing them. You get the idea
scooby1961 Says:
Sep 18, 2008 - Yes, I remember. Glad you took my advice and asked him, it was as I figured. He does have really good nutrition but allows himself a small amount of junkfood each day. Some elite collegiate athletes do so much training that they literally can eat anything, take Phelps 12000 calorie diet. Not that its healthy, but they can get away with it.
scooby1961 Says:
Sep 18, 2008 - Some guys have small nipples and some have big nipples, dont worry about it there is nothing you can do about the size of them anyway. If you are talking about the shape, thats a different matter. If they are volcano shaped rather than flat, thats gyno. If you are a teen it is quite common to have gyno which will go away after 2 or 3 years by itself. Since you are concerned, I would definitely recommend talking to your doctor about it next time you have a physical.

Sep 19, 2008 - If he is, as you say, smart and educated, then it is unlikely he believes in God...

Sep 19, 2008 - Hey Scooby1961,,when you say do drop weights you mean like start heavy then each set you do drop down five pounds and so on right

Sep 19, 2008 - awesome scooby, your favorite bodypart to workout must be the chest, mine too keep them coming!!
Gozz6 Says:
Sep 19, 2008 - scooby, normaly i always rate your videos highly and agree with what you saying. But bench pressing on the floor ? there is no way that is working your chest probably, It must only be working 5-10% of chest.

Sep 19, 2008 - Alles klar lol
scooby1961 Says:
Sep 18, 2008 - Yep, reducing your bodyfat is the only way to get tight 6-pack abs. You say you are 7.7% bodyfat, I doubt that or you would have abs. Only the water immersion tanks provide a bodyfat with any accuracy, all the other methods are so inaccurate as to be useless. Try this simple test, grab a roll of skin about an inch to the side of your belly button and pinch hard - how thick is it. If you are 7.7%, it should be about 3/8" thick.
