Re: WHAT SHOULD I DO FIRST
I know this is contrary to what I have been taught, but I 'enjoy' cardio first. I guess what I mean to say is that when I lift weights, I lift to exhastion to get stronger. I am so wiped from weights, that even thinking of cardio, a ton of excuses to pop into head about how I can get to it later. I...

Re: How about eggs!
I don't think that a few eggs per week will harm you any. It's not as if it's processed food which, in opinion, is far worse. I sometimes eat 3 eggs in one breakfast with a slice or two of wheat toast and a glass of orange juice or low-fat milk. Sometimes I throw out a single yoke, sometimes I don't...

Re: DOes leg training affect height ??
No worries, man. I actually did one of research papers for certification on this exact topic. Train your legs freely as hard as you want; it won't effect your height. There is no scientific evidence at all that would indicate that weight training effects growth negatively. In fact, because of the in...

Re: O M G - I did CHINUPs
That's fantastic, Skully. Nice whenever that happens. :) I wonder how many times you have tried to do them, because you're demonstrating a good point. Sometimes we have to work really hard toward our goal before we see any real breakthrough. Just a fact of life. How many times would you say that you...

Re: DON'T WANT TO GET BULKY UNDER ARMS...
You're welcome! Hmmmm, well interval training is the "going thing" right now. I, personally, like it due to the fact that it seems to be good for keeping testosterone levels high. You also get the added bonus of not completely tiring out during your session. Should be good for you since yo...

Re: O' shoulder
I would say first that, if and when you feel any pain during your lifts, not to push that. It may be normal to feel a mild pain because of the old injury, but if it worsens, just back off of it and wait a few days or a week and try it again. Over time, you'll notice you can handle more and more that...

Re: DON'T WANT TO GET BULKY UNDER ARMS...
hahaha. Funny post. Well, a few things to be said about this topic. First, you have to keep in mind that a large part of how we look is genetically determined. In other words, if we have big biceps before we start weight training, then unless we do something awfully strange, we're going to have even...

Re: New And Needing Some Help
Hi Ravi, Well, it's kind of tough to give you a super exact regimen without knowing what things you're doing on a day to day basis. But, for starters, decreased energy levels and even depression can be caused from a variety of factors. So, make sure you are getting adequate rest, quality and quantit...

Re: how to gain streanght, but not mass
Hi wrestler, I'll help you out with this. I'll give you a tip or two, but just be careful because you want to train smart not kill yourself in the gym. Without going into long painstaking detail, the body will gain strength without adding on as much mass by keeping your repetitions fewer and heavy a...

I finally found a for this, btw. I just had to do it through I.E. I'm not sure why Firefox wouldn't allow me to, unless I just had some odd setting in there. Thanks again.

Re: Muscle recovery time
Hey Smuggles, There are a few things going on here. First, I don't see anything particularly bad about your rest times. However, you have to keep in mind that there are several factors that go into muscle recovery. And, all of them should be taken into consideration! Just to name a few, diet and nut...

Re: How long should I work out?
Hello Sscholl, Hope you're having a great day. Wanted to throw in something for you. To be honest, you can actually workout for just about as long as you want to, especially if weight loss is your goal. Just so long as you don't over do it and you feel good afterward. You don't want to do too much t...

Re: Simple leg workout okay?
Hi ckayy. Well, I wouldn't say that this is a "bad" set-up. I would say that it is "reasonably" balanced, as during your leg press you should get a fair amount of Hamstring work. However, it might depend on how well the Romanian Dead-lifts "hit" your hamstrings. Persona...

Re: help with arms
Hi Robert. One thing to keep in mind is that, and it's a painful truth, the more muscle we have the more we have to build upon. In other words, when we are starting out with only a relative small amount we can't expect a whole heck of a lot right out of the gate. On the brighter side, many pro body-...

Re: Pull ups is hard
Hi, Broken_Myx. Well, pull-ups aren't exactly shoulder and trap movements. It is very easy to find some good exercises for shoulders and traps online, such as lateral raises and shrugs. But, pull-ups are a VERY good exercise, never-the-less, and will help, especially if they are challenging. The thi...
