Did you leave Min0?



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Man, I used to try so much stuff to make my biceps bigger. Lots of volume, lots of reps, etc.....I always traind arms on their own day. I can tell you though, this year I stopped training arms on their own day and trained with push/pull splits so by the end of the workout I was so fried to do anything more that like 3 or 4 sets for arms. Ya know what, I have never seen more growth in my boceps than I have this year. And I really belive it was because I lowered the volume on them and put more focus on heavy pushing and pulling.

Try 3 sets, but make sure you do plenty of compound pulling movements in addition to that.

What's your current back routine look like?

I haven't been checking up on IM for a LONG time (not sure exactly how long that is but seems like it's been about 6 months) and much to my surprise when I visit my favorite forum, the training forum, johnny is still around, still stupid, and people that I assume have been here the whole time still remember his original thread good enough to bring up the ephedra thing (might not have been his first thread, but it was one of the first).



Dandelion Games - Dandelion Games include Block Insanity, 3D Breakout, Firecracker...
None of these games will make you faster, stronger, leaner, or help you in any way, what they will do is make you choke yourself with boredom.
UPDATE Block Insanity may entertain you, and quite possibly if played rigorously for 20 minutes a day, may assist in weight loss, so try it damn it!

I love how Johnnny's attempt at being a smartass was immediately shot down by P-funk's brilliant selection of words: "stupid fucker." I
couldn't have laid out such an accurate and eloquent description of Johnnny
myself.
Nothing is being shot down. As for "the brilliant choice of words" from P-Funk the same could apply to you.

Personally I could give a shit what P-Funk thinks about bicep training nor do I give a shit what you think about bicep training or in your cases "NON BICEP" training.

Just stupid.

As for Mudge's friend with 19 arms relaxed I will ask this question is he on steroids?

Steroid users I know sometimes don't even train certain muscles for months at a time & those muscles still grow with the help of the anabolics.

For a natural training person training the biceps is very important.

But these steroid users I speak of all train their biceps twice a week while on a cycle.

What pushing and pulling, specifically. Like your typical work out. My biceps are proportionally too big for my tri's. I am trying to even them up some. I have prettymuch stoped all but hammer curls, 2 sets.

P.S.
Don't think your an A hole.I was Just saying it may look like it to newbies.

You know, for someone who's been on here for as long as you I would think youd have a few pictures. so we could see who you are. or are you Ashamed? plus, just taking steroids will mot make you grow. Hard work still must be done or you will get fat.

Well if you want more tricep size to even it out, you should try this routine best done after your back. 3 sets of CG bench press, 3 sets of incline skull crushers, 3 sets of cable pushdowns with a 3-5 rep scheme.

I've explained myself over & over. Ppl will just have to wait for the pics which will be coming soon. As for steroids yes I know hard training is important. I have more than a few friends who are users.

Since 2000/01 I have delt with thyroid problems (yes, caused by the ephedrine/ephedra supplements as I never had a thyroid problem before I used them).

Back in that year I was 227lbs with about 12-15%BF & a 34 inch waist at 5ft10.

Later that year I had enough Suspension & Nolvadex for 8 weeks as I was going to take my first cycle for football.

But that's when I began to rapidly loose weight. In 4 weeks I shrunk to a weak, tired & burnt out 200lbs who couldn't even bench his own weight from a 325lbs bench press.

I started on Tapazole to keep the thyroid from working too much & it took 2yrs to gain some of what I lost.

Imagine losing 30lbs of mass in 4 weeks on top of eating 7 times a day & regular training.

I had another hyper thyroid episode in 2002 losing 10lbs in a week so in August 2003 there was an alteration in my treatment.

I was given a large enough dose of Iodine to shut down my thyroid & then to replace my hormone with synthroid.

Yet it took about 6 months before I could take the synthroids. So for 6 months I had no thyroid hormone. This greatly affected my training & physique even with a strict diet & training regime.

I gained about 20lbs of unwanted fat & went up to a 36 inch waistline.

Since January I've been on synthroids & it took about 3.5 months before they found the right dose as my thyroid became normal.

I have managed to burn much of the fat off & getting my waist back to 34 & build up some muscle but I'm not completely ready for pics.

I'm sure you some of you descent ppl can understand that.

There are other ppl here who know what I'm talking about who've had thyroid problems.

But soon.

But did your doctor tell you it was the ephedra?

I got deathly ill with sever athsma after seeing the movie "american me" But I am willing to except it was a coincidence.
