No straps needed. You need to lower the weight big guy. And on a deadlift, why wouldnt you put the weight down? Place it down controllably and dont bounce into your next rep. Each rep should be performed as it's own.

Hold up here - dsc, you doing Romanian, or conventional? RDLs are to mid-shin.
Good question Built. I believe he was referring to standard deads, but I didnt catch that until you just brought that up. IN that case dsc, Built is correct.
Must be. I dont get it. You?
Keep it going with updates!
i weighed in today before my work out, am up to 178lbs, thats 4 pounds in a week! i had a really good workout i managed to push all 20 reps out on the squats, so will be adding 2.5kg on for next time. managed to push 7 reps fairly easily for 170 pounds in bench press which im quite happy with, will definately be hoping for 8-9 reps next time, then be adding another 2.5kg when i reach 10 reps. so far all is going well and its only been a week!

I see how fasting can be useful while cutting, especially since fasting increases natural GH production, but while bulking? I don't think so. In my experience I have noticed that every time I take break too long between meals while bulking I don't gain weight and sometimes I lose weight. Actually It is easier to eat smaller meals throughout the day than eating fewer larger meals. I just don't get as bloated from it. I know you know a lot about this but probably that method doesn't work for everybody, at least it doesn't work for me.
If it doesn't work for you, you weren't eating above maintenance. None of it really matters if you don't hit your calories - bulking OR cutting. I don't find that it "works" because of gh. It works because I maintain a deficit. This just makes it easier for me to run that deficit. If eating more frequently makes it easier for you to eat at a surplus, you should. I certainly find it a lot easier to overeat when I eat more frequently - whoever came up with eating frequent small meals for cutting is a freaking idiot. I was ALWAYS thinking about food when I tried to do that. Now I think about food until about noon.

Same here. I need 3 large meals. The 6 smaller meals makes me start chewing on the dead skin on the end of my finger tips
I actually thought it was just me who felt that way.

Good point on the frequent feedings.
spot on man the old 30 banana diet, ive cycled the 30 banana a day diet a couple times and have good results, im currently just maintaining my size popping about 20 bananas a day atm
Have just called my source at the local fruit market and hes getting in bulk amounts of bananas, looking to gain about 30 pound next cycle so am thinking of starting the 35 banana a day cycle.
Has anyone here cycled the 35 bananas a day diet? what are the sides like? Do i need an AI? I have clomid for pct, ???
cheers

MA, the one thing I cant get my mind around is how easy the IF diet is. It's still a friggin mindblower to me!
hi everyone, i thought i would post back in this thread instead of starting another one. just to let you no i have pretty much reached my 180lbs goal, without putting on much fat at all. so would like to thank everyone who helped especially juggernaut for the routine. i am now hoping to bulk to 190-195lbs for summer! i have posted my diet up in another thread and would like some input on mixing my routine up to a 4-day split. 2x10 warm ups, 2x10 working sets for each exercise

Hey, props for hitting your target!
Now, I'm looking at your workout. I like the exercise selection for the most part, and you've got a good deal of pulling which is great. What concerns me is how it's spread out. Tuesday is one hell of a workout; meanwhile your shoulder day looks pretty light. Maybe that's the way your week works out and you like having a day that's not too taxing, but you might consider moving deads out of tuesday and putting them somewhere else; maybe deads and shoulders could be a good mix.

calf raises - if your calves lag, consider training them on non-leg days, tucking them between sets of upper-body work. They're not particularly taxing, but as an add-on at the end of leg-day, they tend to get ignored.

I tried bulking w/ his method it was just too much food at one time I ended up blending it cause my jaw was going to fall off after i was done w/ my meal!! but cutting would be a different story
You shouldnt highjack someones post but whatever.. This very general, go to link below enter in stats, it will give you a number. That number is how many calories your body needs to maintain your current weight. add 500 calories to that number and you should start gaining weight. Or you can multiply your body weight by 18 and get a general estimate of how many calories you need to bulk. You need about 1.5-2 grams of protein per 1 pound of body mass. And 2-2.5 grams of carbs per 1 pound body mass. Dont forget EFAs, try to keep your fat around or below 100grams a day, I like olive oil and almonds. Good luck!
