I work my warm up sets with my feet up ( calfs parallel to the ground). It makes the upper body stabilize the movement and has merit with low weight. I would not recommend it for heavy lifts where you require assistance from your legs to stabilize your body. of

Smart decision. of

first time chemistry I would go with testosterone if you were going to choose one drug. Like gopro said, oral anabolics are very hard on your liver. There is no such thing as doing one or two cycles to reach muscular development. Even with steroids it will take a couple of years to really pack...

steroids and the pros Plus you better have a LOT of money! of

Steroids Steroids are a touchy subject. I certainly can understand why someone with 5 plus years of bodybuilding under their belt might want to experiment. You hit plateaus and you aren't getting any younger. Does that mean you should give up on your goals? It's a very personal decision. I...

honey Recent studies have shown that honey does NOT cause a great insulin spike. I have been doing some research for a couple of diabetic friends and ran across the information on honey twice by two seperate sources. of

dumbells Don't forget dumbell pullovers and shrugs. of

The best split (if there is a best) is one where you get the most out of the energy put forth. At present I'm working chest and arms on day 1, day 3 is traps, lats and overall back and day 6 is legs and shoulders. I am really enjoying this routine. It's an abbreviated routine by Stuart McRobert...

You will do much better reading about abbreviated training methods. They are better for natural lifters because the principals go back to the basics. Train hard. Do not overtrain. Rest. Eat and grow. Stuart McRobert's books are a great place to start. of

gopro, thanks for the quick reply. I will post my sources of references regarding sodium molecules as a transporter and I ask the same of you. thanks again of

Hello gopro, I noticed that you suggest glutamine and creatine to be used in your post w/o protein drink. My understanding is both require a sodium molecule as a transporter. When taken together only one will win this battle. The other will be passed as waste. just wondering. of

abbreviated routines Your routine is great. Very similar to one I read in "Brawn". of

Pyramiding I am wondering what your ultimate goal is? Your rep range should reflect this. What does pyramiding weight from 12 to 2 do for you? If you fatigue your muscles by hitting failure at 10-12 reps, then 8-10 an so on, you have very little left for the power lifts. Not only is this not...

Thought this might be of interest. Bill Pearl is an old timer when it comes to bodybuilding. He was also a vegetarian. He has a website and might discuss vegetarian meals for BBs.??? of

If you are going to continue to lose weight you need to refine your diet. Here are a couple of things to think about. Fruit is nothing more than fructose. Sugar. So cut down to one or two pieces a week. Since you are a vegetarian you are missing out on complete proteins unless you eat a lot of...
