I see, is the position of my back supposed to have an upward incline? Some other people had told me that I was supposed to keep lowering the bar until my back straightened out. I took this as meaning that my back shouldn't be locked, I should have it moving until it just reaches a horziontal...

I've been paying close attention to my SLDL form since last post. I've done SLDL 3 times for my routine in the last week, could you tell me if I got it right? Basically, I start with my knees bent, bar on the floor. I then pick the bar up, alternate grip, and stand straight. I push my butt...

baby a, maybe you should edit out some of the offensive things you said if you are that way. I do in fact do my homework. I have read about the study dkm posted before, I know that cretaine does not work for some people, and I was one of them for several months. I am person who prefers to have...

Absolutly not. I hate creatine, big frigging waste of money. I used creatine last year for over 3 months. I followed the instructions, I loaded properly, and took the right amount of creatine at the right time. The result? Nothing, no growth and improvement at all. That supplement DOES NOT work...

That sounds good, do they sell this stuff at GNC? Arbito, you know it's funny about muscle milk. A PT I know at my gym, who is a really big, strong, not fat guy and can squat over 700 pounds, was the one who recommened that drink to me. In fact, he uses muscle milk and even ordered for me, it...

1) What protein drink (muscle milk, whey, and others) do you use before or after a workout? 2) Do you take one before and after, or just after a workout? Is taking a drink only after working out a problem? 3) Do you have a protein drink at least once, if not twice, as a meal everyday...

When you are standing straight just before the exercise starts, should you push your back as far as you can all at once, then lower your back? Or should you gradually push your butt out while lowering your back at the same time? When going down on SLDL, what position should you're back in...

I'll try to keep that in mind, thanks.

Blade, I'm not that new. I've been doing SLDL's THE WRONG WAY since January, I just found out. So obviously I want to make sure I have it right and don't look like a fool again in the gym.

Ah hem.......I'd like someone to let me know if I did the right form and if I am right to set my maxes a little lower for the first cycle so I don't jump too quickly. Thank you.

In the event that I did the wrong form, are there other exercises I could do which work this area that would be easier to do correctly? I choose Straight Leg Deadlift because I thought my legs and back needed more compound work besides squats.

OK, here's the way I did it today: -I picked the bar up with the weight from the floor until I was holding it standing straight -I then pushed my butt back, which caused my shins to slant out like this: / and the hams to slant back like this:\ -I kept loweing the bar at normal speed until my...

When I maxed out this week for Straight Leg Deadlift, the form I used was not correct. When I did Straight Leg Deadlifts, I stood a little less than shoulder width apart. With a reverse grip on the bar I lowered the bar to the ground, the legs bent a little as I lowered the bar to the...

Can I get some caluclation help? Do you have any other formulas I can use to get my maxes? Here's an exmaple, last week I did DB Incline bench. On the first set I was able to get 8 reps w/some gas left in the tank. The second set I was able to get barely 6 reps, the third set I got 6 reps at...

What exactly is 'light' or 'heavy' cardio? If I jog at 6 miles an hour for 8 minutes, followed by a sprint at 8 miles an hour for 2 minutes, and reapt that sequnce to give me a total of 20 mins, is that too heavy? Basically, what is a good intensity of cardio which will be effective and not...
