What are the DC stretchs for bis?

[bignate73]

So with the bicep stretch, you're FACING the barbell.

no, you are facing away, just like the shoulder stretch but with the shoulder stretch you are holding on to the bottom of the bar(palms up), with the bicep stretch you are holding the top of the bar (palms down)

the workout should be brief, around 50 minutes. remember you are working up to that work set, do the rest pause set, hit the stretch and on to the next exercise.

You might try some Active Recovery on your off days instead of cardio. I don't know that Cardio is discouraged, but I think AR would be a better way to get into the gym without taxing your gains.

Look in the stickies, Spatts has a thread on AR up there somewhere.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Any input on whether doing this w/o a spotter is worth it? Will I end up being undertrained? What about using the Smith Machine?

smith is fine for this type of training. i trained without a spotter just fine.
