Try squats on a smith machine. When you get the weight on your traps, move your legs forward a bit. It may seem awkward, but the machine stabilizes the bar. This way, you can do nice full squats that concentrate on the outer quad sweep and limit the lower back tension. I love them. Give it...

I currently weigh about 275 lb. The best that I have done so far is 10 times. And that is on my 4th or 5th set of five when I bench.

Of all the bodybuilders out there, Arnold is by far my favorite. Not only was he ahead of his time, but he knew how to play the game and psyche out his competition. He had a confidence that was like no other. As for all of the remarks about Jay Cutler, the fact remains that he is the reigning...

My friend had an extra bottle of Beastdrol and gave it to me to try. I am taking 2 pills in the morning and 1 before bed. I have been on it for about 3 days now and my chest/tri workout today was insane! I am going to take 3 per day for 30 days. Does anyone have any feedback on this product...

Size-On made by Gaspari Nutrition is an excellent supplement. It is designed on it's cover to be an intra-workout supp. However, if you do some research on this product, it is an awesome post-workout drink for workouts under about 2 hrs. Has good carbs and a heavy dose (5g) of Leucine. I...

Based on research that I have done, BCAA's are most effective when taken in doses of 5 g and above. Their optimal effects are right before/after your workout. 5 g upon waking up ; 5 g before training ; 5-10 g after workout ; and 5 g before bed. I have been doing this for about a month now...

I am curious as to what my fellow forum member's take on how much protein to ingest daily. I know that the "advertising" states that it should be 1 g per 1 lb of bodyweight. However, I am 44 (45 in April) and my metabolism has slowed compared to my fellow 20/30 year olds out there. Any...

I personally buy my multi's from BJ's Wholesale Club. Their brand name has been working fine for me.

Thanks gopro. I am getting the sense that you are not a fan of the decline bench press movement? Is this something that perhaps I may be overthinking a bit?

Thanks gopro. I am going to try the reverse grip on the smith machine after I finish up with inclines. Do you think it is a good idea not to do regular flat benches if these two movements (inclines/reverse grips) are performed in the same workout? Would it maybe be a good idea to do this one...

I personally do a combo hang clean and press to start out my shoulder workouts. I feel that it has really helped all of my pressing movements. It also hits the traps quite well. And believe it or not, if you do them correctly, your forearms will be a bit sore as well.

Thanks gopro. Do you do different angles in one workout, or do you just concentrate on one at a time? Would you also vary the angle for incline flyes as well?

Thanks gopro. My next question is on inclines. What in your opinion is the proper angle to perform these at? There is a free weight incline bench at the gym I train at, but I feel that it is too high as I only feel it in my delts. Is it good to vary the angles?? Anyone please feel free to...

What is the forum's opinion on how to vary chest workouts? I normally do flat benches first (4 sets) ; inclines (30% angle) second (4 sets) ; and either a variation of flyes or cable crossovers last (2-3 sets). I add some declines in every so often. I train chest once per week. On Saturday's...

Thanks built. When you are referring to buying in bulk, what specifically are you referring to? Just the leucine? I eat alot of Wheaties fuel cereal; 1% milk ; egg whites ; wheat bread, wheat pasta, cheese & turkey breast. Also eat at least one apple & banana every day. Also some Yogurt...

Thanks BUILT. I take Gaspari Nutrition Myofusion. Each scoop is 25 grams of protein. It does not state how much BCAA's that I am getting per serving. It was my understanding from some reading that I have done that per 100 grams of whey protein, there is approx 10 g leucine ; 5 g each...

Thanks for your advise Built. I have an inquiry in the supplement forum regarding amino acids. Can you please review and let me know your feedback. Thanks. Also, thanks to all others who gave me feedback on this subject!

BUILT. Any comments for me on this? It sounds like overkill, but I have to tell you that I feel pretty good. My muscles have a fuller look.

BUILT... I did shoulders today. I did the following: 5 x 5 combo hang clean and press ; 3 supersets arnold dumbell presses and side laterals ; 3 sets bent over laterals for rears ; 3 sets reverse flyes on peck deck for rears. It was a great workout. My shoulders did not hurt at all. I...
