Depends on the person.Some people can get max growth training each muscle once a week, others train em twice a week.However you should do your abs 2 or 3 times a week.Can ya not train on weekends because it might be better to break up your weekly routine rather than doing 5 consecutive days.

No girl I know ever has and my last gf didnt care about them.Like I was sayin I have some quite visible ones but dont care about them all that much, but was just wonderin what womem think in general and the answer seems to be fairly unanimous.Thanks everyone

Ditto Flex:thumb:

I just never actually bothered to stop and think about it.I mean, most women who have stretch marks usually complain about them and say they hate them etc.etc., so I was curious as to what they thought of men with them.ie.do they consider them as bad on a man as they do if theyre critical of...

Just wondering what women honestly think of mens stretchmarks(ie. the ones lads get from weight training:blah: )?Its not very common in men compared to women, so whats the general concensus amongst women when it comes to this?

Thanks for the info,Ill remember it:thumb:

I thought that you should do that because your body would have nothing else to burn so would burn more fatty tissue?

Seriously?!?Whats your secret?I got em all round my armpit area:confused: ?Anyway, what I meant was theyre an indicator your muscle is growing.Didnt mean to have a jab at anybody.

Everyone that weight trains has them around the armpit area( inner bicep/pec/etc.), myself included.Nothin to be embarassed about.Most of the ones I have, I got while starting out and I was only 145lbs and doing very light weights without supplements.Theyll eventually fade to a shade very close...

Ah NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!Oh well, just get on with it In that case does anyone know any good cream or ointment yolks that work.Most of my s'marks are "old" but Iv a few newer red ones.I heard of stuff called mederma, retina-A and some other thing.Retina-A is prescription over here...

Just wonderin what happens with stretch marks when ya get tanned.Headin away for a break shortly, so I was curious as to whether getting tanned will help make stretch marks less prominent and a shade closer to your "natural" skin tone or does it make them more prominent, because I think I read...

How long should ya wait after a workout before ya eat or have a protein shake(or whatever other supplement)? I keep getting alot of info saying to wait at least 1 hour and others saying to make sure ya get protein into ya within 25 minutes.Both arguments come up with valid points and seem to...

Thanks very much T-man, that was an interesting thread.I dont take "anything",just a high protein-low fat diet.I was at the gym yesterday and did a very intense workout;chest 16 sets, triceps 12 sets, shoulders 10 sets.3 of the sets were pushups I did in between flys,so they didnt exactly "kill"...

How can one know or identify when their overtraining.If ya were working each muscle twice a week what would be a suitable number of sets?Or should ya keep trainin til ya get that "pump" feeling and then do another few sets or what?

How are yas. I was just wonderin what the bouncers in the USA/ Australia/ Canada/ UK and so on are like because here in Ireland they're total shitheads.Its 11:15pm at the moment and Im after gettin home.I was headin out to a class party because we got our X-mas exam results today.Anyway, I go to...

I started eatin 1.8 grams of protein per pound of weight a few months ago and have noticed great results.Prior to this I was eating 1.2 grams of protein per pound.I also cut back on my carb intake when I raised my protein intake, so the increased weight is not just a simple result of increased...

Ive got one of those weighing scales.It cost me 70euros which is about $100.I dont think its very accurate, so im gonna try callipers(but im not to familiar with them either).

Found that weight training is a great form of stress relief and makes ya feel better.Great for confidence and self esteem too.Oh yeah, the girls love a lean body so its worth spending 6 or 7 hours a week if ya can find the time.Besides, in general most of the bodybuilders ive met are the most...

Well im a college student so we would go out, but not alot.Maybe once or twice a month for class parties or whatever.I know ya shouldnt,but the girls are to hot to resist.Personally i dont really notice any decrease in my ability to bench the weight i was doing the day before and my abs dont...

Everyone knows beer is a major NO for bodybuilders because it sets you back and basically makes your training futile.But I was wondering if anyone knows(roughly) how bad it sets you back.For example, how many workouts would it take to "recover" or how many previous workouts would be lost from a...
