So they're just steroids taken orally?

I'm just curious, but what are M1Ts? What are their uses? Are they legal? Info is good.

I was wondering...where exactly do animals like cows get their protein from, when they just graze all day? Grass has no protein, does it? And if it has any, it can't be enough to make a complete AA chain, can it? I don't get where the protein in cows and other animals comes from. It's like which...

pwrhungry don't worry. You started squatting pretty recently. As you continue to squat, you'll find your own "groove" for the lift, and you'll wind up progressing rather quickly. Just stick to the Dual-Factor 5x5 program for the time being. Increasing the load using in respectable rep...

Deads should fill the high pulls slot. Wednesday should go: Squat - 4x5 Deadlift - 4x5 Incline Bench - 4x5 *Chinup - 3-5x3-5 * Chinups are your call, but that's where I'd throw them in.

The link to the single-factor program should explain everything, Jester. The light day is done 4x5, you emulate your Monday workout for the first three sets, then you repeat the third set once more. If you do 135, 145, 155, 165, 175 for squats on Monday, you'll do 135, 145, 155, 155 on...

I'd start back so you hit your 5 RM around week four or so. You can run the program for as long as you want. Keep going until strength stalls, or you feel joint pain. At that point, you can either switch to dual-factor, or break for a bit, then start back up about two or three decrements where...

The weight on Monday, the 5th set, shouldn't start out as your 5 RM. Start a little below it, to give yourself some ramping room. The entire program is pretty much core lifts. You don't need to do the bicep or tricep exercises. I never bothered, but if vanity is a concern, just pick a weight...

Jester, give Bill Starr's 5x5 Single-Factor program a run through. Here's a link to it: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum....ount=15 I know thehamma & Joe G are following the program, so ask them how they've liked it so far. It works well, provided you eat and rest enough to sustain the...

I got tired of eating six times or more a day, so now I eat three. Breakfast and dinner, while not as healthy as they could be, net me 1900 calories, roughly. 2 lean sirloin burger patties, 2 hamburger buns, 4 slices of cheese, lettuce/tomato/onions thrown on for flavor, 2 glasses of whole...

The study showed a 170% or so jump in serum test levels after seven days of abstaining from ejaculation. This increase will last until ejaculation occurs. It's a primal kick in the balls from mother nature. That's what I call it, anyway. I've heard that abstaining can actually increase the risk...

True, but in a PM him I pointed him to a program that used the method I outlined - so I figured I'd let him know he missed that one point. Obviously in the end progressively loading and selecting the right exercises is the biggest part of single factor training.

No problem. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Good luck running the program. Once you plateau, you can break for a week and start back up lighter than where you left off, try dropping the reps to three (the Friday triple and backoff set stays), or switching over to dual-factor...

You did a few small things wrong. The incline bench is supposed to use about 80% of the flat bench press weight. Deadlifts don't need to be 5x5 but if you don't feel comfortable making such large weight jumps using 4x5, then you can use the extra sets. I'd think about using standing military...

No reason to SD for a 5x5. It's more strength oriented, and you'll gain size with it anyway. Honestly, I recommend most people try single-factor training with the 5x5 first. Milk as much out of that as you can before you use more advanced techniques.

You can't shape the muscle, or so they say.

I wouldn't do a tricep exercise on both Wednesday and Friday. Just keep it to once accessory movement for the triceps and biceps a week. Keep the skull crushers on Friday and do some form of incline curls on Monday. Emphasizing stretch is the only reason you should even bother with those...

You've got 17" arms and 22" thighs? Sounds a bit unproportioned to me, orb. Pullin' 15" gunzzz now with 24" thighs. We all got something to work on, huh?

That to me is simply grotesque. I wouldn't ever want to get that big, no matter what.

Yep, lats included. I personally wouldn't use them exclusively, but the load placed upon the back is supposedly significant enough to superecede rows and chins for back development in every area.
