just a question about speed
i'm bulking as much as possible right now, is there any way to not lose my speed while bulking? i'm a soccer and lacrosse player so i need my speed, but i also need a solid core so i dont get shoved around. just wondering if theres any exercises to do that will help me keep my quickness.

Do your lifts slow on the negative and EXPLODE through the remander of the lift. Always stay under a controlled motion though otherwise you're at risk of injury.
Sprints and intervals...plyometrics too will also help....A LOTSearching for the right balance...

I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

Jump Stretch Bands are great for speed exercises. You can rig them up for speed drills for upper body and lower body. This has been a very effective technique for all of my clients wanting to improve their speed.
Do you want to get real strong?
