too much free time bro,..

give the weed a break bro

You guys are forgetting one thing and that's that this is the wrong section for a question like this. Yet ironically enough it's has elicited an above average response of 22 (excluding mine of course) and possibly more.

Just out of interst the mean average number of responses to a question in this section, calculated to a 95% confidence interval using the t-distribution, is 7.9 to 13.5 with a standard deviation of 6.8 (all to 1 dp) using a random sample of 25.

To put this into context, the number of responses attracted by this question is approximately 1.7 standard deviations above the mean. Not exactly begging for an explanation but certainly above average. Perhaps because of its odd placing.

A judicious man looks at statistics, not to get knowledge but to save himself from having ignorance foisted on him.

SLick there are many,many excellent books written by TOP bodybuilders that explain in detail how to do each exercise correctly. To answer atleast part of your question I do pinch the shoulder blades to gether in the back-this gives me a better stretch at the bottom. I actually bring the Dumbells down as far as they can go.

Sounds to me like you just had an exam in college level stats and wanted to share some of the "words" you learned.
BTW, your forgetting one parameter, the degrees of freedom (df). Without it, we wont know how the shape of the curve will turn out? "-)

imho, whatever weight that you can get atleast six-8 reps with strict form is the right amount of weight. then as you get stronger, add weight. i think sometimes people focus on weight to much. i may not be one of the stronger people in my gym and yet i am one of the bigger. also in body weight, i am only 208 but i look better then some guys 220 and up. just my .02 ...because after i hurt my rotator cuff back in the day, it has never been the same.

Diablo my good man. You should automatically know that using the t-dist there are n-1 degrees of freedom, in this case 25-1 = 24.

Seems strange that you should know so much about stats yet so little about how much weight you should be lifting in the gym on a particular exercise. If you want to know what is a respectable weight to use, just use your statistical knowledge and carry out a simple test to see how much above or below average you are as compared with the average lift at your level and body weight. Simple.
