Once a week would be good, twice max. So if I understand correctly I do either deads, squats or leg press. Not all three? Given my height would leg press be a better option for me? By metabolic set do you mean drop set? If so that would mean three sets per exercise right? You recommended...

Hi all, I was just wondering what I would need to do in order to maintain my current muscle mass. A combination of niggling injuries and a heavy work load have prevented me from eating enough or training effectively of late. I've lost about 12lbs over the past two months. I'm 6'4 and currently...

I have been diagnosed with rotator cuff probelms. The pics I have taken there were after two weeks SD. I quite all pushing movements two weeks before the end of my cycle, so it's been roughly a month since I've done any chest or shoulder work. My shoulder problems have been ongoing since July...

Hey all, Due to my ongoing shoulder problems I have decided to eliminate all pushing movements from my upcoming cycle. I just wanted some feedback on which exercises I would be best off including, concentrating mainly on the back. I'm 6'4 198lbs (see pic) Cheers, Simon

Hey all, I've been battling with shoulder problems(both of them) for the past two months now. I've had scans done which showed no major damage and also visited the physio who gave me a series of resistance band exercises to do for my rotator cuffs. I've continued on with my cycle while doing...

Sorry!

I'm back! Just been discharged from hospital The bars have about 27g of protein and to me they dont seem to have a hard texture. I've not tried one fresh so I cant really compare. I'm pretty sure a box of these sells for around $60AU, so I'm definately getting them on the cheap. For other...

My local health food store is selling boxes of Myoplex Storm bars for $10AU. The only probelm is they are nearly 3 months out of date. I bought one and it tasted ok though. Am I gunna die? If not I think I might go back and buy a few boxes. Cheers

I would have gone lower than ear level! I read the same thing also but I thought that rule only applied when the weights got really heavy.

I was actually just beginning the second week of 10's. I took a short SD this time around and then headed straight in to the 10's skipping the 15's. I dont really know if this had any bearing on my injury though. My warm up may have been inadequate. I think ill just give it until the end of...

Last Monday I injured my shoulder while working out. I'm not exactly sure which exercise was the culprit but I have a feeling it may have been behind head press (smith machine) or the incline dumbell bench. I feel I may have overstretched on one of these exercises and now have a fair bit of...

It's the whole diet thing! I would find it easier just to eat in an excess calorie range and work from there. I was already considering dropping the 15's and doing a condensed bulking cycle or two. What do you mean by doing another cycle just concentrating on arms? Are you suggesting I drop...

I'm 6'4 approx 90kg of very lean build. Although my arms are reasonably muscular they are by means big. I cant even bust 16" flexed. It has been that way for some time now despite whatever bicep/tricep exercise combination I throw at them. I believe I've been eating enough because I put on...

I've been doing chins for a while now but my grip seems to fail me before my lats give out. What are my options? Should I use straps of some sort or is there a way of improving my grip strength (fast). Cheers, Simon

I accidentally mixed 30 grams of creatine (instead of glucose) with my pre workout shake yesterday afternoon. I didn’t realise initially, although I did find it odd it lacked the usual sweetness. It wasn’t until this morning when I went searching for the glucose scoop and found it in the...
