Is this a bad thing? I read somewhere that excessive sweating is due to a higher, healthier fitness level. This would make sense, since i really started sweating excessively in the last two years, when gaining about 90 lbs. muscle. i think im in pretty good shape, playing varsity basketball, but...

I've been bulking for quite some time now, actually a little over two years, and have gained 90 lbs. in that time. But, I think some fat is starting to creep in with that, and I'm starting to lose my six-pack. I don't plan to go on a cut for some time now, but I'm kind of worried about how to...

i know that many people feel that running a few times a week destroys a bulk-up. I would probably side with these people too if it weren't for off-season basketball. I'm just thinking that maybe its alright to run a couple miles a couple of days a week intensely provided that following the...

i'm kinda in a budget crunch and was wanting to purchase some myoplex shakes in bulk (possibly the myoplex mass, not really sure which one). If anyone knows of a dirt cheap website to buy myoplex off of, please reply.

just wanted to say I saw a few old friends today while working out at the rec center. i haven't seen these people in over three years, and since that time i have nearly doubled my bodyweight. it was an amazing feeling seeing them (for the most part, every one of them was very hot!) and knowing...

A friend of mine recently told me that doing too many squats could result in a blown out knee. He said when he used to really want to dunk (that's what I'm going for), he did squats almost every other day. And, he blew out his knee, ending his career. I also really want to dunk and squats I...

like i've posted in many other threads, i'm looking to improve my vertical leap. my question now is what type of leg routine I should incorporate. I do some plyometrics. Weight-wise I'm normally squatting around 3 sets once per week for complete burnouts (around 8-12 reps). I also do a few sets...

I'm not really sure that I strained it, but I was doing heavy weights on a squat-like machine, and all of a sudden the left side of my back started to hurt. I don't think I was doing perfect form, kinda hunched over a little. Do you think that it's a strain. How long do back strains take to heal?

I've recently been on a small quest for an edible MRP. Just today, I bought 1 packet of myoplex choc. to give it a try and was stunned. I've been trying to down a bundle pack of Mycellean for quite some time now. I almost throw up every time I drink it. But this sample packet gave me hope -...

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/satter1.htm What do y'all think of this nighttime method? Is it a good idea? Any other supplements you suggest adding to the mix? What about that NAC stuff...any good?:confused:

http://www.askmen.com/sports/bodybuilding_60/77_fitness_tip.html What do you think? Also, can advanced bb's really train once every six weeks and see significant improvements?:confused:

I know that getting the complex carbs instead of the simple ones is important, not converting to sugars and energizing the body for greater periods of time. My question though is how to tell if you are eating simple or complex carbs. I've heard that some bread appears as whole wheat but really...

i need help. i eat cereal at least three times a day, and I need to know what types are not the simple carb, unhealthy junk. cereal is one of the quickest meals i can make, and with the skim or 1% I use, I think it's pretty healthy (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm 16 years old and have a quick...

I noticed today how labels seem to be missing some of their fat content. How is it that a serving of peanuts has 4.5 grams polyunsaturated fat, 6.5 grams monounsaturated fat (or flipped - I'm doing this from memory), and 2.5 grams saturated fat, all for a total of 13.5 grams. Yet, the label...

My coach told me today that the supercat machine is one of the best, if not the best, thing you can use to increase your vertical leap. He said that the man who invented it, did it for his son when he was in 9th grade. The boy worked diligently with it, and by his senior year, he had gone from...

I'm about to invest in numerous supplements, and I want to be sure that what I'm getting actually tastes good. Here is what I plan to buy: Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Chocolate Prolab Creatine Monohydrate Powder VPX Sports Micellean MRP If you have any comments on these products...

Being both a dedicated bodybuilder and a basketball player, I want to both get bigger and dunk. Would I still be able to make impressive gains in strength if I was doing plyometric workouts every other day?

All the user testimonials say it, may friends all have them and agree, jumpsoles are awesome. Are they really as good as all the hype makes them out to be? Anyone here that has had success using them? Please reply.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, but here it is anyway. I have two years left before college, and being a bodybuilding fanatic, I've been thinking of the career options that pertain to that particular lifestyle (besides a personal trainer). Any ideas?:confused:

Here's the thing. I have been in-season for basketball for multiple months now, and have maintained my strength well during it just eating plain, healthy food. But, in about three weeks, are season will end and I want to go straight into a muscle-bulking mode. The only supplements I have used to...
