find your maxes and just remember to SD. that is crucial for more growth in anything. Maybe you've been hitting it so hard that you need to SD for a longer time maybe 14-20 days, im not sure. The only thing i can think of is that your biceps are very well adapted to weights and junk so you just...

what i did was find my 10 and 5 rep maxes for stretch movements for each compound. so it would be, DB flyes with Bench, behind neck pull down + cable row (close grip), and so on with several other isolation movement such as incline curl with BB curl. I started using them starting with the 10s...

I wouldn't think so. The whole concept of "perserving" muscle during a cut is the same as trying to "build" muscle on a bulk, and if you were working at your max every day, there would be no progressive loading(not optimized preservation of muscle/growth of muscle). I think...

Theres something here on bodybuilding.com that sorta talks about calories being just calories. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/willbrink10.htm not sure if that's the same thing as the study above, just took a glance at it pzhang

lol.

maybe a sandwhich or a sandwhich and a half(crappy sandwhich). Maybe 300-400 calories different.

wow. all hail O&G congratulation sir! pzhang

ack! awesome site. another down in the favorites. pzhang

I've been doing loaded stretches for this past HST cycle. Before i had stuck with the main compound movements and some stupid isolations excercises on the side. My gains had been fair( 2- 3 lb gains) with the compound movements, but no real humongous gains until this past cycle. I've gained a...

when that comes in, will thinkmuscle articles also be in that? i haven't seen much updating on thinkmuscle these days , but awesome! this should keep me busy in college. pzhang

o yes i believe there are several of us :D . 6x a week makes us tired too, but by pulling my own conclusions from the advice i'm given, its a pretty good idea to keep the 6x a week training out of the 15s because of CNS frying, but when you get into the late 5s and negatives, i think it is safe...

is that gyno on coleman there?:confused:?:confused:?? my gyno makes me feel like crap. haha sorry about thrashing the thread

You could try to add a loaded stretch-point excercise in addition to your compound, but too many excercises isn't a good thing. You can do Bench press + deep dumbell flyes. Read Jules' customization thread. It should answer most of your questions about adding excercises and maximizing techniques...

yea, i would stick with goin with the 15s and up the carbs for post workout. you should see the water weight and glycogen replenishment go up and have that full feeling in your muscles again. pzhang

i think u can do pushups for burn sets? if you don't have access to any gyms or whatever, i think you could add weights to your back in a backpack and just follow the progressive loading. It's better than nothing. pzhang

mmm sounds good. i hope thats easier than doing the repeated workouts, regular increments for 6x a week like the one you perscribed for me :) . I remember i crashed pretty quickly with that. haha. thanks jules pzhang

oops, i totally mis said that. I meant how come we don't do burn sets on OFF days? I'd be stupid to not do burn sets for ON days! but yea. Is doing Burn sets only... for off days not recommended because of the RBE? or because it'll fry the CNS? I was thinking that it would help out more than...

just wondering. why don't we do simple burn sets... in the 5s and post 5s to keep up the nutrition partitioning? does RBE catch up that quickly? or is it the CNS that is hit too hard... again. I guess this question pertains to the metabolically challenged endomorphs :D Jules u don't have to put...

lol. right. maybe i was just hoping for a miracle

so there's this new creatine out there called SHredded mass and they claim that their are studies showing that it can actually cut fat even with working out. How true can it be? just wondering if this new supplement is just hype. :) http://www.supplements101.com/store....dedmass
