I bought a set of these for easier increments with dumbells on isolation exercises where you use lighter weights: http://www.megafitness.com/shop-by-brand-platemate.html I just keep em in my gym bag and attach them to the gym's dumbells on the exercises I need em on.

You can also do exercises like L-flyes with light dumbells to strenghten the rotator cuff muscles.

I've done it both ways- drink 20-30 grams 30 mins before workout & also sip on 10-15 grams during workout- doesn't bother me (bloat or nausea) either way. There are a lot of people like Joe G who can't train with anything in their stomach, especially protein.

Looks like typical "hype" product to me. Might be o.k. to use as a weight gainer, though.

I'm 46. Just started back weighttraining about a year and a half ago after a layoff of about 18 years.

You might want to consider buying one of these: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/adfit/sting.html I have one and it helps alot with front squat set-up.

I bought Charles Ridgely's e-book too. Nothing against Mr Ridgely- his stuff is a much more technical way of maintaining volume and workload through the cycle. If I were you I would just stick to the basic HST principles in the FAQ's and Pimp my HST file as Fausto says.

Drinking on training days?!! You must be young!!! I read once where Arnold said he use to drink beer while he trained, but that was Arnold who is genetically gifted and used AAS!!! Us mere mortals can't afford to do anything that could compromise our gains? IMHO you're working against the very...

I'd have to agree with Totentanz. You don't want to deprive yourself during SD or you may compromise the gains you worked hard to achieve during the cycle. Somewhere in the FAQ's Bryan stated that you should eat at least maintenance calories during SD.

sorry, double posted

when I use flax oil I usually put it in my cottage cheese- doesn't completely hide the taste but it helps. You could also mix it with oatmeal.

sounds like DOMS to me, either that or you slightly tore your pec

Squats are demanding, especially if you are not use to doing them. However you should keep them in the routine as they will help put mass on you and contribute to a stronger core. Everyone is different in their recovery ability from squats- I too find it hard to squat 3 x week. Your lower body...

Yes, the psychological addiction is almost as strong as the need for sex! (I said almost.....)

Those guys have what's called the "California look"- a derogatory name used by other bodybuilders because back in the day a lot of the West Coast bodybuilders had big upper bodies and chicken legs. By the way chiefhog- if you're a Razorback you can't be a pussy- it's the law here in...

I too love caffeine, but this fatigue thingy made me want to cry like a little gurl, cuz I couldn't work out enuff- waaaaaaaaaaah.

Found this over at bodyrecomposition.com: http://jap.physiology.org/cgi/content/full/82/1/49 According to this research I need to increase carbs and fat and keep protein low in relation to the carbs to get T levels optimized for muscle building and fat loss.

I believe the form of caffeine makes a difference in the effects. The NoDoz is caffeine anhydrous which is a purer, concentrated form. Although 300 mg is only equal to about 3 cups of coffee it's more potent. I have drunk a cup of coffee or tea before working out without the same effects.

I work out at the local YMCA because it's close to my house and I'm too lazy to drive 5 or 6 miles to the hardcore gym. I'm 6 ft 2, 295 lbs, built like a powerlifter, have a shaved head,a goatee, and wear black alot. I guess I'm imtimidating to the YMCA crowd because no one there will approach...
