they may have access to weights and stuff, but wouldnt there calories still be low from a bodybuilding point of view. wouldnt they still need a least 3500-4000 calories a day to build muscle, i dont think people get close to that much calories a day in the army, but some still come back with...

they may improve on the exercises, but some of the guys come back with muscle mass too, how is this?

i know that inorder to lose fat you need to consume lesser calories then your body can burn off, meaning cleaner diet and cardio. and i know that inorder gain muscle you need to consume more calories than your body can burn. so it is mathematically inpossible to do both, you need to chose one...

this thread just got me thinking, if two twins were to start working out at the same time, with the exact same routine and diet, and just image there lifestyle was the same, (what i mean is one doesnt do more physical activities such as a sport). then would there bodys look pretty much the same...

you should really be working shoulders with chest and triceps, (push) and biceps with back, (pull). But if ou are going to work shoulders and biceps in the same day, it doesnt reall matter which one you do first because they dont get worked with each other. but i would do shoulders first...

you say you have a 5% bodyfat, but want your abs to show more. At 5% bodyfat your abs should be showing really well. 600 reps for abs and obliques is way too much. you are 130 pounds, what height is that at? It sounds like you really need to gain weight, so eat a lot and lift heavy, and forget...

try doing pullups because you cant really cheat in the same way as with pulldowns, the only way you can cheat in pullups is using momentum by swining your knees up. but try them with good form, no swinging of the knees. because you want to stay in the 4-6 rep range if you can do lots of pullups...

dont worry i am not overtraining, i said ABOUT 4 sets, so that means it depends how i feel. somedays i will do 2 sets, somedays 3 and somedays 4.

i am the same as you, my triceps are a far bit bigger than my biceps. i feel my triceps dont need as much work for them to grow, because ever sience i started lifting i havent ever done much isolation work on them just been doing the compounds, bench press, shoulder press and dips and they have...

i agree that pushups may not be all that good, but not all bodyweight exercises are a waste of time, what about pullups, chinups and dips, they can pack on some serious size and strenght.

thanks for the reply, sorry i should have waited longer, its just that some times i make a new thread and it doesnt get answered. by the way what format do videos and pictures have to be to be able to attact them to a post. i made a video once on a mobile phone and tired to post it but the...

Any one want to help me out?

hi guys, i was just wondering if there is some kind of chart or table which says on average what kind of weight you should be lifting compared to your bodyweight. is there a average push pull ratio, the reason i ask is because back when i first started lifting i was naive and just wanted a big...

i just went on there website, to see what you guys were talking about. they said that it works the biceps, how can that be, pushups are a pushing exercise so how can it work the biceps. the only thing i can think of is if you go down really slowly then you are doing like a negative barbell row...

are one handed dumbbell bench press safe to do. i hear somewere you shouldnt do them. i need to know becasue i want to do them because my left chest and tricep is smaller than the right side.

OK Gazhole, thanks for the advice, by the way i looked at your photos, man you got some big guns, wish mine could be that big some day. any way thanks for the reply.

i do also have another hand gripper which i got a long time ago, i dont know what kind of presure it takes to close but i dont think its a lot because i can do about 30-50 reps at even given time with it. when doing farmers walk what kind of time limit should i use, should i use a weight that i...

i heared that farmers walks were good for improveing your grip. do you actually have to walk to do them or can you just stand on the shot, also doesnt farmers walk also work the traps. Gazhole you said you should warm up for grip training aswell, i was thinking of doing grip training at the...

thanks for all the replys, great advice.
