Good questions. Yes it is possible to do too much cardio and lose muscle. It depends what muscle fiber type you are. I tend to be fast twitch and I lose a large amount of muscle from long distance running. My wife on the otherhand is a slow twitch endurance type and she bulks up with long...

I would recomend working all upper body movements and all lowerbody movements on separate days. For example bench press works the lats and pull ups do as well. The same for squats and dead lifts. Working the same muscle two days in a row may be overkill especially if you are not on steroids...

Diet Looks like a pretty good start. When I bulk I eat about 20 calories per pound and divide it into 5 1/2 meals. As you are still growing and do a lot of cadio you may want to go up to 22-25 caloies per pound. Try to eat 1 gram per pound protein again divided equally into every meal...

Grapple tuff As a former grappler I know what you are going for. Most of your muscle activity in grappling is anaerobic. Try to adapt your muscles anaerobic capasity by having your sets last about 45 seconds to 1 minute. One technique I read on used heavy weight up to failure at around 12...

If I were doing that workout I would swap day 2 and 3 around. Working out legs and give your upper body a rest. Bench press on day 1 works the back and triceps pretty well. I work out 4 days a week isolating upper and lower body movements. Good luck. Jason

Really? The only reason it was relatively stable before our second act of agression was because we were keeping him in check. He was still paying for suicide bombers going into Isreal. He was allowing terrorists to live in his country. He had large amounts of chemical weapons all of which...

Agreement I agree. I'm glad we are finally standing up to the insurgent groups in Iraq. Looking forward to changing my 76 chevy truck over to E85. Great speech. Lots of good ideas.

Meaning of life? Family, love of others and quality time with them are great things. However what gives life itself meaning and purpose? We were created by God in His image. He loves us and sacraficed His Son so that we could have a relationship with Him. We were designed and created to...

I was feeling depressed and started taking anabolic matrix. I just took one in the morning and I feel more normal now. I did not go back for a second blood testosterone test to see if it was up. I was on the lower end of the normal scale. I have somewhat normalized my diet as well as I was...

You could become an Licensed Athletic Trainer Certified (LATC) by going to an accredited program like at NDSU North Dakota State University. I was in the program for 1.5 years and decided to go into a more hospital oriented medical field.

I like to keep my protein an fat the same as my normal bulking diet and just cut back on carbs with each meal. I treat food like medication and the only way you know what you are eating is if you measure! Cut back gradually like 50 calories per meal each week or two. Your body will gradually...

Chistians bother you? We Christians have been instructed by Jesus when he said to his followers before he asended to Heaven "Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every person. He that beliveth and is baptized shall be saved:but he that believeth not shall be damned...." Mark...

Thanks for the info! I learned that methoxy was worthless from experience. It is amazing how much false information is out there saying it is great.

Hey swordfish. You have some Biblical knowledge. Did you know that Satan belives there is a God and Jesus was his Son. Satan was Gods worship leader and knows the Bible better than most Christians. He just wanted to run the show himself. We Christians celebrate Christmas because it is the...

I would eat some Ezekial bread toast and peanut butter with your BCAA's. For the best results I would eat right after you workout to loose the most fat with cutting.
