Hehe yeah I kinda gathered that much. :laugh: Still quite a bit more than I do though! ;)

Could someone tell me/us the nutritional information of pork? (as in carbs, protein etc.). What are your feelings about pork? Is it good for some things or should it generally be avoided? Incidentally, are there any websites where you can look up this sort of thing? Cheers:thumb:

Jesus! :eek: That's an awful lot of exercises :D Anyway thanks to all for your input; I think now I can appreciate a bit more how much work is required for training the back :thumb:

What do you guys think are the best exercises for the Latissimus Dorsi muscle? Currently I do (for the whole back): -Close-grip Pulldown -Wide-grip Pulldown -Long Pull However I'm beginning to think I should change my routine. What would you guys recommend for a full-back routine, placing...

Somewhere in between: as I've only recently started bodybuilding, my muscles are not as big as I'd like them, but at the same time I don't want to 'bulk up', but rather I want more definition all-round. Although I always eat 'clean', my carb intake is probably on the high side (even though...

Well, is it? I don't mean beer or wine, I mean alcohol itself. Also, does it have other serious side-effects (in body-building terms)? Thanks!

Ok, it may sound stupid but let me explain. I've been training for around 5 months and I've been making gains in all departments - my arms and shoulders are larger, my chest has become more defined, and my stomach, although when I tense my abs them I can feel that they are rock hard, still looks...

I thought the 'S' stood for 'sport', but yeah I've heard the same thing. Somehow I doubt it's true though :P

Ok - you're right, it all comes down to calories at the end of the day. My point was just that statistically, Americans eat more junk food than they should, and this is the largest contributer to obesity in America. Of course there are obese people who never eat junk food - I was merely speaking...

Americans are fat not because of food like bread and pasta, but junk food like McDonald's and such. It's a bit naive to think that there is one ideal diet plan out there because there isn't; different diets exist for different situations. Athletes, bodybuilders, babies, pubescent teens, people...

Be careful! Be careful when tampering with hormone levels; interference with your hormone levels can be dangerous ESPECIALLY during puberty, when you hormone levels are all over the place :D I'm in the same position as you: I'm 16 now and last summer I went on this ultra-strict diet but I felt...

This guy was telling me last time at the gym that rather than do an exercise at weight x with y repitions, I should start off with low weights and high repetitions, and each set increase the weight and do less reps, until you get to a wieght on which can only do a couple of reps. I'm curious...

Ok thanks for the input. Next time I'm doing chest I'll try doing a dumbell press (on a low weight, of course :D ) and see how it goes. Thanks!

It ain't that bad I originally started avoiding dairy products to lose weight (from ice cream, cheese etc) but eventually also found out that I did have certain negative reactions to it, namely it blocked my nose (and other symptoms of hayfever). Since I've got down to my ideal weight (this was...

As part of my chest routine I always use the pec deck- it's a vey popular piece of machinery at my gym, and so I assumed that it was a very effective one. However, someone recently told me (at the gym) that I'd be better of doing different chest exercises, namely incline and decline bench...

Hey there, ok so I know lots of you are gonna tell me to do the benchpress with freeweights rather than a machine, but using a machine is better for me because it is less dangerous (I'm still a beginner), and I don't always have someone to 'spot' me. Anyways, moving on... The machine I use has...
