i cycle towards lower carbs on off days (im bulking) and i actually feel better since carbs can make me drowsy (they release seritonin) so maybe you should carb load once every week or two to keep your energy stores up

what is your reccomended source of n-6 fat - linoleic acid and n-3 fat - alpha-linolenic acid?

[form technique for for post 5s] Decline BB [switch to machine press, 2 up 1 down] Bent-over row [cheat negatives] Calves W/ bb [switch to Toe Press 2 up 1down] DB Military Press [qwitch to machine, 2up 1down] Close-grip chins/lat Pulldowns [use a crate/cheat] Reverse grip bench press [J press]...

i disagree Chthonian, i think that getting your form down properly may be more essential than almost any other aspect of training that you could modify. keep the tension and load on the targeted muscle at all times throughout the set, never rest on your joints or other muscles.

yes

i do not have a training partner so should i switch in diferent exercises to use negatives during the post-5s? for instance i cannot do negatives for squats should i switch to leg press using 2 legs concentric and one leg eccentric? and do one-arm machine chest press in place of dips? in the FAQ...

i have seen as much as a 15 second stretch being reccommeded so start your set with that and then adjust when you can no longer take the pain of holding it any longer to shorter and shorter times.

thats some pretty awesome gains you made i went from 120 to 180 in i guess about two years on other routines, until i got injured now im back to 150 (doing HST as soon as i heal) and lucky for you that you started out with the best routine possible (that i have found)while most others had to...

would taking 1, 99mg Potassium Citrate capsule before lifting and taking one tablespoon apple cider vinegar after (one tbs per day,none on non-training days) be appropriate?

i remember hearing about these guys and interested in getting something from them. i looked at the site and it was really cool but i check back later and its down and its still down like a year later. anyone know whats going on?

i would say do abs whenever and however. doing them everyday,multiple sets to failure obviously is too much, would hamper your gains and your regular workouts. so just do them whenever you have time/energy i guess. the curl/military press you describe is not a Cuban Press. Cuban Press is...

you guys listen to any black/death metal?

yeah that is kind of what i thought but was interested anyway thanks i know total calories per day/week is the most important factor but does limiting food intake at night matter at all?

that is awesome

Doggcrapp's diet plan involves never combining carbs and fat into the same meal with the theory that the carbs could push fat ingested into fat cells. also, he reccommends letting off carbs about 4-6hours before bed, stating that that carbs have more of a chance of being stored as fat at night...

i think you are correct in your assesment of the sets per week set-up. i think for the negatives you just take your 5RM and do negatives with that and then continue to add weight each workout. do abs at your own discretion the effectiveness training different parts of a muscle (upper/lower) is...

simply because you do not really need to. the core exercises should be your focus and will hit your arms anyway. doing arms during the 15s add a ton of total reps which may or may not be too much volume. its very hard to progress such light weights and you may get more growth out of direct arm...

ive read a few things claiming that working antagonistic muscle may hinder muscle activation. for example: leg extension and leg curls. if you do a set of leg curls you have used energy in the hamstring, then you do a set of leg extensions and the quad has to work harder in order to make up for...

many, many people have told me that squatting with raised heels can put excess pressure on the knee joint and cause wear and tear, possibly injury. i do not think it is neccessary in the first place and you can adjust your form without it to emphasize the quads more if you wish.

probably shouldnt do biceps or triceps until the 10s or 5s. i think barbell rows are usually better for mass than lat pulldowns. i would do dips or decline bench press instead of incline. stick with SLDL but probably will have to cut it if your lower back gets too overworked during the heavier...
