I do sometimes. Feels like my ribcage is going to split open. Maybe try not leaning forward as much. I do dips as a tricep exercise only and I still get it sometimes.

Yeah, it's at the very center, only felt when doing Dips, and I don't even think it's the muscle, but the bone cavity in there (or the ribcage as you said). So fucked up since I love Dips so much, but I have to protect myself, too.
Edit: Would you say CG Bench Press is a good alternative to use for a while? I'm looking for something other than regular flat BP and Dips to hit the chest, tris, and shoulders.

CGBP is great for what you're looking for, as are lying tricep extensions (for Triceps, no chest involvement).
Never gotten any pain and I go pretty heavy. Hmm.... CGBP is awesome! I only do those two and occasionally lying tricep extensions ending with cable palm up pull downs.
Winter has come for Fitness GAF.
Long arms relative to your torso. If your armspan is equal or greater than your height, you officially have long arms.
I said I was going to take pics of the 3rd floor at my gym and here they are. This gym is great, only complaint is no chalk, outside of that it's only $14.99 a month and has 3 floors with tons and tons of machines and weights.
In addition to potentially getting free or discounted protein and quest bars, my barber goes to my gym and he's been asking me for advice, I may be able to get free haircuts to help him out.
There's another rack right next to this, and another on the first floor -

It's whey.
Looks like it has all you need. $15 a month sound fucking awesome. You are in NYC?
Here in Mexico gyms are absurdly expensive and I don't know why. Fancy Globo Gyms go for over US$100/mo, and that doesn't include the annual enrollment fee (which can go for over US$500). Mom-and-pop gyms do exist but they aren't that cheap either. Usually $40/mo or more, and there's always an enrollment fee AND also a cancellation fee (they know that most people just show up for a couple of weeks to never return).
There's a new chain of gyms that opened recently and they are more reasonably priced at about $30/mo. But that doesn't include the enrollment fee ($60 extra). They just opened one a few blocks from my house though http://www.smartfit.com.mx/ and I need a place to train since the University gym I train at will be closed for 3 weeks in July. But I don't know if they even have a squat rack.
I have the same problem. Ever since last fall. Still can't do dips because it starts to seriously hurt. I even get problems with it while watching TV because of the position I'm in. Fucking annoying.

Right outside of NYC, I'm saving so much money with this place.
I was going to one of those globo type gyms before, New York Sports Club, they charged me $128 once because I went to one of their clubs that wasn't my home gym during peak hours. I hate that place, the only positive is they had basketball courts, outside of that the new gym has 200lbs dumbbells, the old place only had 120# at their chains.
You live in Mexico? Which gym do you go to, or you have a home gym. From now on I'm just going to picture you out in the desert squatting and deadlifting sandstone bolders.
Hey yall, I have been wanting to change my workout routine for quite some time now and want to ask what you think of this regime. Keep in mind that I am in high protien/veggie diet with some carbs and little fat
Monday(Chest/Triceps):
-Bench press, incline bench press, close grib bench press, skull crushers, dips.
Tuesday(Back):
-Bent over two-arm long bar row, Bent-over rows, lat pulldowns, rack pulls
Wednesday(Shoulder/Deadlifts)
- Lateral raise, military press, reverse fly on incline bench, deadlifts.
Thursday(Legs/pull-ups)
-Squats, leg extensions, hamstring curls, pull-ups
Friday(Biceps/abs):
-Barbell curls, hammer curls, concentration curls, forearms, chin-ups/abs super set
Am I over-training if I follow this routine?

So much going on lately.. I'm in spain for a series of concerts and will stay 2 weeks here. I'm trying to go to whatever gyms are around me but getting used to new equipment sucks and stress, bad food and bad sleep are proving to be discouraging. My goal to beat my PRs will likely stay on hold until I am back home..my squat yesterday sucked ass...I guess I should focus on work and music and put training a bit to the side.
Probably for the better that we got moved to OTC by the way.
See you guys in a week or two.

And now my real challenge begins....maintaining my workout routine now that Summer break has started. I used to go directly after work so it was easy to do it. Should be no problem as long as I don't pick up WoW again.
I picked up WoW again.
I just found out the meaning behind community. I don't know how to feel about this.
Well, this Fitness thread used to be part of the Off-Topic Discussion section. We've been moved to a sub-forum called Off-Topic Community.
Basically, we've been cut off from the general population and moved into solitary confinement.

I understand why, but I don't think FitGAF will be able to do as much good for the NeoGAF community from the...community section. The OP is a public service announcement that needs to be seen. I'm sure F1 and WrassleGAF feel the same about their respective communities, but this thread is saving lives.
EL would rather someone make a new thread asking a question about working out then post something in here. So then someone can direct the person to the community thread in there.
I can get behind this. Whereas people would come here, now we'll get threads saying
"Gaf how do I get toned!?"
"Gaf I wanna workout but don't know what to do?"
"Gaf I don't wanna get too big"

Finally deadlifted 225 for 1 rep max today gentlemen, I feel like a tiny beast!
Honestly if I can jump back in time and tell my idiot former self to do more compound movements instead of crappy isolations, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
No more assisted pull-ups either, it's either negatives or put forth the effort into bumping that number from 3 full-range to 5 by next month.
Edit: Holy crap @ Alienshogun's vids...that's monster mode man.

We'll all be there someday. And by that point Alien will be writing for EliteFTS and hooking Fitgaf up with free swag.

Don't worry about being shuttled to Community - just remember when you see a dumbshit thread, guide people by the light of FitGAF and lead them here.
Woo Hoo!!!

If it's any comfort I only noticed this thread because it was in community. So it's not all bad.
Starting to add more running to my routine so I'll be prepared for a couple 5Ks my girl signed us up for this Summer. Really hoping it doesn't negatively impact my gains/lifts, but whatever. Have to keep enjoying life.
Upping it slowly. Monday I ran 2 3/4 miles in succession, then Tuesday mowed the lawn followed by a mile run, yesterday I upped it to 1 1/2 miles (all at about a 7:30/mi pace), so long as I keep eating more to make up for it, I'll keep pushing till it really hurts my 5/3/1 progress.
Keeps me with my real goal of "Ninja Warrior" style shit eventually I suppose.

BB curls
Hypertrophy stuff / assistance is usually done for higher reps. I'd do 3 sets of 8.
This is completely your call. I would probably do higher reps and one more set. I do 10,8,6,4 increasing weight every set. Something like 8,7,6,5 or 4 sets of 8 will work also.

Got some sweet new bruises on my shins for the weekend
<3 DLs

I hope you mean shins and not chins else you are performing a deadlift variation that is highly unorthodox to say the least, lol.
I trying to imagine how DL could have caused bruises to your chins. My only explanation is that you gripping the bar with your mouth inside of your hands.
Yeah, that makes sense.

The night is dark and full of gains.
Here's what we do.
Any time there's an article we want to post, post it in the OT thread with a link back to the community thread for "more info on other things."
Boom.
Currently, none, unless I can count Yoga and Zumba classes with my wife.
Formerly, I've fooled around TKD and American kickboxing. I took BJJ for about six months.
