    Triceps every day?

    Workin' out every day can become more of a chore (mentally) - why not try a morning Triceps workout? If you can't get to the gym try the old bench dip/close grip push-up; that way you'll still get a "clear" day for recovery etc. I've actually started to double-up workouts on Friday...

    Basic Instinct

    looking back over previous posts, one re-curring theme is doing more reps per workout oustside of the "std" 1x15 2x10 3x5 etc. Why not take the working weight and aim for max reps in a given timeframe (aiming for a min of 15/10/5 - it doesn't really matter) stopping short of failure in...

    cluster sets questions

    Strictly speaking you should never need to do cluster reps, by virtue of the weight being either sub or at a rm weight. However we all know that real life don't always match with the theory... Avoid clustering as much as possible, failing that - try to keep the batches of reps as high as you can...

    Help! I'm not growing!

    Reading this post, couple of things spring to mind: 14lbs LBM = +1inch on arms (squats) reverse curls to "thicken" the arms for breakfast consider 2/3cup shreaded wheat, 2tbsp mixed nuts, 1tbsp WPI together with 1/2cup semi-skim milk Lunch: 1/2cup cottage cheese, 2tbsp mixed nuts...

    Whey Protein Only

    Truth be told: We managed it for 3.5 months, then I came down with a mystery stomach/kidney pains - 1 week pissing blood then spent 3 weeks in bed (alone, not even "walking") and a further 5 weeks off work! dang cardio

    your results with HST...

    rob, you need to cut-up a bit, drop your cals to around 2k, and adjust the ratio of macronutrients to 40%c 30%p 30%f at every meal. Gram wise, start with protein: you'll need 1/3 more grams of carbs and half the gram count for fat. Try to eat lower GI carbs, as this will stabilise your blood...

    Listening To The Body

    Mmm, that's diet sorted, Tom what are your thoughts on HST then? (This should be good for a laugh) No honestly, I don't know where your ideas are coming from - but maybe you need to eat some carbs & get the ol' grey matter up & running again...

    Manta Ray

    Using the bar in the Power Lifter position of the squat, does bring the arms into play - ie you're working nearly all the muscles of the body. (I also believe it opens up the chest/shoulders ala breathing pullovers) So my advice would to be to save your cash and knuckle down - to some serious...

    Belt-Up!

    Can't quite "slow" down the eccentric when squatting, benching or military pressing? Take one inertia seatbelt, affix (centrally) to the top of your squat rack/cage, fasten the belt to your barbell. Not only will it teach/make the decent slower (locking and turning the rep into a...

    Trap Bar to New Zealand

    lestat02852 - yeah then you can hook it upto the warm water feed (using flexy pipes) so you can train when it's cold! NO, don't waste time/money/effort - it wouldn't be "up to it", you need real steel: 25x25SHS min for the frame, 24 Dia bar for the weight prongs Personally I'd go for...

    Do I have a hormonal deficiency?

    The only person you need to ask right now, is your Dr. The first thing to asertain is in which range your test was done within. Normal for a Dr. is anywhere within this "range" As for using this apparent low reading as a lever to get some juice: all you'll get is "you're within...

    Quality home dip stand

    Yeah, apologies... I would just add that Arnie did it with two chairs and besides, you could probably knocksomething-up which would handle BW+100lbs easy; and if it did break, build another one - stronger
