Where do you go to get your bf tested by a pro? And thank you all very much for the replies. :)

Well i have calipers but they are plastic and i have nobody to take measurements of me. I tried once but i dont know how much skin to pinch, like do i reach my fingers out as far possible and try to pull in the most skin for the fold? And also when im not flexed, i usually grab muscle along with...

Oh and also are there any "good" sugars? Or when you check the label and see sugars should you automatically try to avoid that food on a cut?

First of all, which is worse on a cut, sugars or fats (like from cheese, butter, red meat)? And how do you tell a "good" fat from a bad one? Another side question. Is there any scale or something that is generally accepted when it comes to fat loss? Like i know they say you can put on up to a...

I just use milk. I dont think 12g of sugar is going to kill you, plus i could never choke down protein shakes with water.

Do you need to: A. Lower calorie intake B. Lower carb intake C. Lower both calorie and carb intake ?

Do you mean ever or recently? When i was about 13-14 i had abs and was really skinny, then i got put on a long cycle of prednisone and gained like 60 lbs and got really fat. Then i lost about 50 lbs and then gained some weight back as ive gotten older, but it hasnt been fat. I was always really...

Im getting a little frustrated. I've been trying to bulk for the last 4 months and so far have put on 12lbs then lost 3 of it so im down to about 9lbs of total gain since i started lifting. I've lost fat but not nearly enough. I belive im at somewhere between 15 and 18% bf and would like to get...

Yeah i think im going to take a week off and make sure i dont eat too much. Im due for a rest anyways. Thanks for the replies guys.

Actually its prednisone. I just looked it up online and got this info. It says it is a adrenocortical steroid and it contains pregna-1,4-diene-3,11,20-trione, 17,21-dihydroxy-. Im gonna be on a 30 mg dose for 10 days.

Or something its called im supposed to go on for my sinuses. I was on this before and gained about 60 lbs almost all of it fat when i was about 15, it makes me eat like an animal. Does anyone know if this is something that will increase my testosterone so i should lift harder or if it just makes...

Then why not train with all isolation exercises? And shouldn't you ALWAYS focus on the negative portion of the movement?

Yeah i know what you're saying, i usually use good form and im not concerned about how much weight i can lift because i lift at home anways. But wouldn't your biceps get the same workout if you did the same ammount of reps with a higher weight and just helped the biceps with your back/legs? I...

So even if you are still training the muscle, somehow having good form trains it "better"? That doesn't make much sense to me. It seems like you could reach failure faster with better form, but if you say bend your back just slightly while doing curls, thats still going to work your biceps just...

I'm not saying that none of that stuff is true, im sure some of it could be, but you gotta remember that this is the internet and people can say whatever they want. It's easy to throw around figures and things, but unless you have documented evidence to support what you're saying, its not worth...

Can bad form be a good thing? Like for instance, say you are doing standing barbell curls. If you bend your back a bit and up the weight you are lifting, wouldnt you then give your lower back a bit of a workout as well as your biceps? Couldn't you therefore get the same workout for your bi's and...

I've always monitored my weight by weighing myself at the same time each morning. I was progressively gaining about a pound or so each week, but about 4 weeks ago i stopped gaining. I figured this was because my schedule had changed and i was eating less often. So i started eating more often...

Deadlifts and good mornings.

My rack cost 275 i think? Its body solid and pretty sturdy. If you shop around you could probably find a cheaper one.

I'd like to see this as well.
