I'm doing a modified version of the routine (push pull full body split using the same rep range concepts though) and finally saw my arms grow. :banana:

This is probably good advice too since this last lift was more than I've ever done before for that rep range. I don't have form problems with lower weights (not that I've noticed anyway...and my back's never killed me like this after a session.) Probably a combination of the increased weight...

I find it hilarious that he did it in jeans and canvas shoes. Regardless, ridiculous...

GI measurements are taken using only that particular food. Same with II (insulin index). Limited data is available on what happens when you combine a healthy fat, say nuts, with a high GI food. But...things mix in the stomach. So you are correct in saying that the GI of a meal should be a...

Thanks guys, good advice. I was actually thinking about going to sumo because I remember last time I did it it seemed like it was less stress on the lower back and less awkward with the knees. I will give that a try again. :thumb:

I deadlifted today and felt like I was pitching forward on the lift and working the lower back a hell of a lot more than I probably should. I think this is because I have to lean forward to get the barbell around my knees, so I am wondering if this is a consequence of getting too low. I know...

Gotcha. Is there a reason you chose 2g EPA+DHA? As far as I know there is no RDA so just wondering if this is from some studies you've read or what you base this on. Thanks :)

Well, I could make something up, but I don't know. DD's suggestion sounds good though, in fact it's pretty much what I do (not that that means it's a good idea ;) ) Think of it as a sort of modified Power/Rep range/Shock if you want. I think plyos being similar to stimulus of basketball is a...

1) Hard to say without knowing your diet plan. No need to go crazy...use olive oil along with other fats to get to where you need to be in your daily caloric intake and fat intake. 2) -Whey is not the best choice of protein before bed because it's fast absorbing. It's not going to hurt...

I'd say he's got a future in acting if anything goes wrong with his bodybuilding career.

If you build more muscle by working the muscle in the hypertrophy range, and then return to strength rep ranges, then theoretically that extra muscle would allow you to get more from the strength training alone. Although, "strength" training does not preclude gains in size as well. I think it...

:laugh:

How do you guys do negatives, put a bench underneath yourself and curl your legs up?

Add it as a custom food. One capsule is one gram of polyunsaturated fat for purposes of tracking on fitday. Thanks, PM...makes sense. Wichita represent!

1 fish oil cap. only has 9-10 calories, generally (as fish oil caps are usually 1 gram.) Jodi, why 6? That seems like a lot.
