Hi Joe, I know how you feel. I used to be just like you. What does your training program look like?

I understand...perhaps you could take them around lunch time?

Hey Ironman, Perhaps you could proof read your posts. I was going to respond but don't understand what you are asking or saying...

I run a Personal Training department of 14 full time trainers. And yes, not all trainers are created equal. You will defintely find a higher quality trainer in a private studio or smaller club versus a super sized monster club that pumps out $150-200 K a month in PT sales and hire shit...

Your body would probably benefit upon waking up so you have the energy during the day. Does the cal-mag come in a seperate tablet with animal pak? It has been shown beneficial to take cal-mag before bedtime to improve GH level.

Tyman502... remember... The goal of any training routine is not to design the perfect routine but simply optimize recovery for the whole body as well as individual body parts as much as possible. While focusing on improving weaknesses and balancing out your physique! Does your program meet...

The last poster made some solid points. I would give more credit to the results from creatine but it will make minimal impact unless a solid foundation is in place. I will add. What is your goal weight? Typically you need to over shoot your body 30-40 pounds of your goal ripped look before...

As it has been noted...it depends. P-funk asked some really good questions for you to make your decision. However, from a ex-skinny guy...you should defintely be doing cardio. A better cardiovascular system and more dense capillariy network will help promote better blood flow and oxygen to...

If you want to isolate your abs with zero to minimal hip involvement than you MUST put your legs up 90 degrees. While lying on your back - 90 degrees between your trunk and thighs and 90 degrees between your thighs and lower legs. Everything must be done in this position if hip flexors are...

Can we included Ultimate Fighters? Matt Hughes! Sometimes I wish I took up wrestling...some of these fighters pack so much muscle onto their frames! But from the list...Frank Zane!

Sorry if I just broke forum etiqute by reading the first post...scrolling down and than posting. I was just having this same conversation: Never do a exercise that you are no longer making gains in. I give every exercise '2 chances.' Meaning that if I have a workout that does not 'out do' my...

I would really stick with only 3 arm exercises...any more is leading to overkill... Structure each exercise around a different rep scheme though. Try this out: Exercise #1: 4 x 6-8 (mass builder...focus on lifting heavier each week) 90 sec rest Exercise #2: 3 x 8-10 60 sec rest Exercise...

As noted...nutrition needs work. You need to eat in hormonal balance. Each meal should consist of some carbs + proteins + fats. So for example...instead of just eggs (protein) you need some good fat so add some olive oil. And you need some quality carbs...if you goal is mass than oatmeal...

This might not be the answer you are looking but often..."less is more." Why do you need another exercise? Perhaps you could increase the intensity so that your third exercise feels the way you would like a fourth to feel...?

Nick Nillson wrote an awesome article for this site called Fascial Stretching and explained the limitations to muscle growth because tight connective tissue limiting growth... He used the analogy...trying to grow bigger muscle with tight connective tissue is like trying to put a big pillow case...
