There are a ton of options out there. Two things you can take all year, without cycling would be 100 whey protein, taking within 30 minutes after your workout. Another is glutamine. Generally you take it before and after workouts, and before bed on non-workout days. Glutamine suppresses cortisol...

When we look at remnants of medieval castles doorways and suits of armor, they are all made for much shorter and smaller people. The human race is getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

Try taking an entire week off, then come back. That could possibly be what you need. If it is, you'll come back stronger.

I've been reading some stuff on this website www.bodybuildingforyou.com and it has a guide that includes supplements, workout, and diet. The entire site seems reputable and very in depth. The bodybuilding guide has a 5-day split, separated into LEGS, CHEST, BACK, SHOULDERS, BICEPS & TRICEPS...

I want a workout that is good if I don't care about how I look, muscle definition etc. I want to gain STRENGTH. Also, I don't want lots of excess body fat. I want muscle. Lean and dense muscle. I don't care about muscle size or weight either, or looks or shape. Of course that will probably come...

Abs are small muscles, and I want to keep them small (but good endurance)

That's what I'm working up to. Right now I'm only running on tuesday/thursday/saturday (not every day). If I want to see if I can gain any weight, should I take out the tuesday/thursday swims as well? Or will that not make a big difference for gaining weight? That would mean: Mon/Wed/Fri...

My primary goal is to increase muscular endurance. Secondary would be muscular strength. All while being able to swim and run well. Monday: Swim workout Run workout Pushup pyramid Pullup pyramid Abs Tuesday: Swim workout Run workout Abs Wednesday: Swim workout Run workout Pushup pyramid...

Wow, 115 in 2 minutes is really good. How is your workout scheduled? What days do you do what?

I'm not training for competitive swimming, although I have been for the past 8 out of 10 years. The past two years have been on and off cross training. I am now training for this 'adventure challenge' program, where you go through similar things a navy seal does...but this is only for 24...

The reason I didn't want to do the pushups and pullups on the non-swimming days would mean my back would be getting a workout every single day, except sunday. Don't they still need at least a day to rest? Or no because it's not as damaging as weight lifting? **Would they have enough time to...

Well, just to clarify some...my goal after about 4 months would be: 20+ pullups with only my bodyweight. 100 pushups in 2 minutes. Could I do both pushups and pullups on the same day as swim day? Then I would get tuesdays, thursdays, and the entire weekend for my upper body muscles to...

What I am looking for is relative strength. Meaning, strength relative to my body weight. My goal is not to increase size/mass, but it would be welcome. I'm not looking into bulking up, just improving strength.

Hi, I have two questions I'm not sure about: 1) Hi, I'm wondering how I can do this. My pullup max was 18 last time I tried...probably a few lower than that currently. Pushups around 35 or 40. The catch is that on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I will be doing a swimming workout. On...

In a four day split, could you do: Mon: Chest/tris/shoulders Wed: Back/biceps/legs Fri: Chest/tris/shoulders Sat: Back/biceps/legs Hows that sound? EDIT: Or, the same thing except alternate those muscle combos, but have a day of rest in between every workout (mon, wed, fri, sun, tues...

I've been a competitive swimmer for 10 years, so its not like I've never done anything athletic hah. If I only do like 90 for bench, will people be thinking "wtf is that guy doing here...?" Or will big guys have respect for little guys getting started?

Just wondering...I'm 5'9" 135 lbs (you get the picture). I've got no idea what kind of weight amounts I should be starting with, and don't want to be embarrassed at the gym because I'm lifting too heavy or too light, etc. Could somebody suggest some starting ballpark weight amnts? I'm planning...

Did somebody say they get mad at the skinny guys who are using light weights? I mean come on, gotta start somewhere right? (I'm one of those 'skinny guys')

My right lat is noticeably larger than my left lat...even more than it look in the picture (taken with crappy webcam). Anyone have suggestions on how to get the left up to the size of my right? Thanks...

And this will work for bulking, provided I eat like every two hours, eat healthy, take vitamins, etc. ? (I'm 5'10 135 lbs)
