Weighing it was the first idea I had in mind, but unfortunately, as a college student living in a dorm, I don't have a scale readily available to me. Today I counted out scoops from the new tub in question into an empty tub. I only counted 65, as opposed to the 80 advertised on the label. Even...

I just received my order, a 5 lb. tub of Whey Isolate. I understand that some settling occurs during shipping, but it looked to be only about 60% full. That seems awfully low. The lid was sealed in plastic wrap, but that only makes it more puzzling. Any insight? I have another tub that is almost...

On the checkout page it says that UPS does not deliver to PO boxes. All the shipping options seem to be UPS, though. Are there any other options available? I'm living on campus at college and all I have is a PO box.

Near Atlanta, GA. Maybe it was just an unusually slow shipment, but you know what they say about first impressions (did I mention that it was my first order?). If so, it's certainly reassuring to hear it's typically much faster.

How are All the Whey's shipping times these days? I ordered a 5 lb tub of whey about a year or so ago from them, and it took nearly 2 full weeks to arrive. I've used some different brands since then, but I want to give ATW a try again, since their flavors really do taste quite good. What kind of...

I'm heading back to college soon for summer classes, and I'm dropping the atrocious school meal plan, but I'm gonna need some help coming up with my own meal plan. I'm having a hard time getting enough calories for a (clean) bulk. If anyone could give me some suggestions, it would be awesome...

Well, I'm getting towards the bottom of my current tub of whey, so I'm going to need to buy a new one soon, but I can't decide between the Cinnamon Bun or Peanut Butter flavor. They both sound so good! I'm a peanut butter fanatic, but the cinnamon bun flavor sounds very novel. My typical PWO...

Good point; I hadn't realized that. I'll need to alternate squats and deadlifts in order to average twice a week with those two lifts. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll consider switching stiff-legged deads in there too.

I've been on a push/pull/legs routine for the last 12 weeks or so, and I'm taking a rest week off this week to study for/take my final exams, and then I want to switch up my routine and see if total body works better for me. So, if you would, please leave any comments or suggestions about my...

well, I thought I'd maybe do 5x5 for a week if only for a change of pace - I've been doing 4x8 for many weeks. My chest didn't feel very worked after all dumbells. The only part that felt noticable soreness or tension is the outer part where your chest turns into your front shoulder. My triceps...

I did declines a few months ago, and I was doing 3 sets of flat bench, 3 sets of incline, and 3 of decline, but I took the decline out and added a set to flat and incline. I like the idea of doing a 5x5 or 7x3. However, I've only got one more week scheduled in my current program, then I'm taking...

Akira and Double D- thanks for the encouragement. I'm shooting for strength and size right now, because I'm still pretty much a scrawny weakling, and my numbers are going up slowly but surely (except for this bench problem), and I seem to be gaining size slowly but surely, though I do want to...

If I'm using the barbell, I wrap my index finger around the smooth ring inset on the bar, and if I'm using dumbells I have the dumbells positioned directly over my elbows when the weight is lowered. I try to keep my elbows perpindicular to my torso - I've read that this minimizes tricep...

Just like the title says, I don't think I'm getting the optimal effect of bench pressing. I always leave the gym feeling like I've worked my triceps way more than my chest. My bench has hardly gone up in the last two months, and I'm thinking it has something to do with this. Keep in mind, I'm...
