    I want to eat 14 egg whites a day.  What are the

    I pay $0.40 (including shipping) for a scoop of whey protein powder that tastes awesome. Whey also has immune boosting properties, speeds recovery, and is 100% bioavailable. Plus, you throw it in some water or milk, and you're done. No preperation, no seperating whites from yolks like with eggs...

    how many meals a day?

    Totentanz, I can actually manage with a lot of protein shakes with oatmeal, milk and bananas. That gets me past 5k cals easy, if I need it.

    Bench Press Form

    On the bench press - I only tuck my shoulders, as I feel driving with the legs and arching the back in any way is basically cheating, and not as functional. Can you guys give any insight as to why I should/shouldn't use leg drive and an arch? I know he recommends these two things in Starting...

    Becoming Stronger without squats & deads

    That super squats hip belt is pretty cool. I might invest in one to try it at some point. As of now, I got the green light to do squats again from multiple credible sources. I don't feel like getting into detail, but I think I'll be okay. Should I feel any pain (which I never have with squats)...

    Knowledge vs Experience

    If I had to choose an arm-chair guru or someone with practical knowledge, I'd take the person with the practical applications in the gym who has made strides forward without the use of any gear. You can't argue with results. Cite all the studies you want, but if something works, it works. Theory...

    Who can do this?

    I can roll out of bed and palm the floor with knees buckled, as well as fall into splits and straddles. And no, I don't have a vagina. I'm just awesome.

    First 5x5 cycle

    Ah, I hear ya'. I do similar stuff. Dynamic movements and general, all-purpose warmups. Seems to work fine for me.

    how many meals a day?

    You can avoid looking bloated by using some apple cider vinegar. I take a shot before any large meal, and I certainly don't look like a pregnant woman. 'course, I'm eating 3-4 meals a day, not 1-2. I think 1-2 is a bit extreme, the same goes for people who eat 8-10 meals a day. I think...

    principles

    If it's psychological, then by all means do it again. Can't argue with results, right? As far as I know, though, there's no real benefit to doing that. 'sides, I enjoy my diet and lifestyle pretty well now, and I don't have the kind've money to eat all organic foods. Should I come into big money...

    First 5x5 cycle

    If they're doing the Single-Factor 5x5 routine I pointed them to, they should be getting in four warmup sets before the single actual working set anyway.

    First 5x5 cycle

    Flat benching can be dangerous to the rotator cuffs, to be honest. If you can get by with it, fine. If not, you can switch to incline, which many find to be more comfortable. If you don't mind losing some time with your upper body gains in size and strength, you can cut out pressing movements...
