That's interesting, I thought 8 year olds didn't have enough testosterone to build muscle. Which makes me wonder what you're doing in a bodybuilding forum. If you're not going to add anything constructive, take your petty arguments elsewhere.

But what both of you are saying is that once you have burned glycogen, your body starts burning fat, but then you say without glycogen, your body breaks down muscle and uses it to produce glycogen. I understand your body burns muscle while it burns fat, and it's a struggle to figure out how to...

I'm not doing 5 times per week, and I don't think squash would rate as high intensity as short sprints. Boxing would, I suppose, but where you claim that I should eat less carbs for a slower bulk, don't you think it would be more advisable to burn carbs rather than cut them? Adding carbs plus...

What would you call "optimal rate"? I don't really see putting on 25lb in 6 months followed by cutting 15lb in the following 6 months optimal. For 9 months of the year you are big but not ripped.

Ahh I forgot to mention... the only thing worse than the treadmill is the bike :-) Lol seriously though running and biking are about as intense as boxing/squash... and boxing/squash are a lot more fun. My problem is whether that much cardio will use all of the surplus calories, or will it just...

The treadmill is perhaps the single worst form of cardio imaginable. Boring as bat shit. As beneficial as it may be, I cannot bring myself to stay on it for more than 10 minutes...

So I want to keep the fat off while I'm bulking. Is 30 mins, 3 times per week of HIIT (squash and boxing, 2 very demanding sports) a good way to go about this? I'd be satisfied putting on one kilo (2lb) per month rather than my usual 2kg (4lb) per month I do when bulking if this means keeping...

Sounds interesting. I've seen people do this all the way down to one rep max.

Elaborate a bit... is that sets, weights, reps, what about time between sets, etc?

Does anyone have any good pyramiding routines? Anyone tried one with success? Post em here plz

So you do bulk and cut.

Care to elaborate? I'd love to hear your tips, 50lb muscle and consistent bf is pretty impressive.

If I'm getting around 2700-2800 cals per day, with some light cardio each day and I'm active at work for four hours on weekdays (lifting boxes), I figure this is around maintenance for a 80kg, 6'0", naturally high metabolism bloke. This diet is balanced, and includes a decent 200gm of protein...

Hammers are great. Every 2nd workout I use them. Good pump, good results.

Is it a good idea for me to up my sets from 9 to 12? I've been lifting for a year and a half and I'm at a plateau, when I eat more I just put on fat. I'm wondering if I should work them even harder so I feel it for the next few days, the way I used to when I started lifting.
