This is that bodybuilding approach of "chasing the pump". All you're doing is pumping more fluid into the muscle, most of which will leave within hours following your workout. You're not actually building any substantial strength that will translate into your compound lifts. Training like this will increase the volume of fluid in your muscle, but won't build strength. Alternatively, training for strength will increase your strength and build real muscle.
this couldnt be more wrong.
I do a thumbless grip on most of those back exercises cept the deadlift but because my hand is pointing down its ok.
If the bar is on top of my thumb joint as it is on bench press or squat, it re aggravates the sprain

i break blue tooth headphones like once every 3 months. I had one pair of headphones i got for a gift they were like $80. I got two replacement pairs from the company and then they stopped responding to my emails and phone calls. But i stay in the sub $30 headphone range since they never seem to last...but wireless is a must now. I have wired for backups just in case my wireless die at the gym. Gym with no music is not acceptable
Good to know im not the only one that breaks headphones on a regular basis lol. Thought something wrong with me. Im like u i stay with the cheaper ones cuz they all end up breaking for me so id rather spend 25-30 than like 80
Yeah I break/lose them too often to be spending that much. The $10 joints off amazon have been plenty sufficient.
to say that someone who is chasing a pump is making no gains that can help with a compound lift.Please, enlighten me.

you can have a pump doing heavy weight with low reps and a pump by doing lighter weight but more reps.
either way you will make gains as long as the principle of progressive overload is applied. that includes doing isolation movements like triceps to help you have a bigger bench.
also, when you said training strictly for "strength" will build "real muscle".... training for hypertrophy will do the same.
I know power lifters who strictly train for strength and they can move big weight, but dont even look like they lift.
and on the other side are people who train strictly for hypertrophy... they may not be as strong, but they'll have more size on them.
of course this is just the general idea. everyone's body is different and reacts differently when lifting.
I wouldn't take the weights off while you were obviously not done but... maybe it's just me: I don't mind at all if people ask to work in with me but I usually won't ask to work in with someone, I'd rather just wait or do something else
I always get a bad kink in my neck the day after I bench press. Should I hang my head off the bench?
Which part and how so?

Keep up the good work bro. I'm at 190 this morning. When did you start cutting? My last week has been good strength wise with the carbs being upped from an earlier part of the day.Cut continues. Weighed in today at 184 from a 205 start. I wanna get down to 170 I think. I'm starting to notice a loss of strength at this point though. Well maybe not a loss, but I'm not seeing gainz anymore
