Gaz is stronger and more jacked. He's also natural, and his training emphasizes strength over size. I'm more interested in looking pretty and aging well. And juggernaut's an excellent pimp to me. One of these days I'll make him some money. (I'll get you that pony you've always wanted, baby!) ;)...

There is no metabolic advantage to eating more frequently. It does NOT burn more calories or speed up your metabolism. This myth was formally debunked in 1997 - but you'd be amazed how few trainers or dietitians know this. Try consolidating your five meals into three larger meals (and perhaps...

My go-to workout setup is outlined here if you want to read it: Got Built? » Baby Got Back One criticism that comes of fairly often is my setup de-emphasizes chest (hey, I'm a chick, my pecs are padded ;) ). You can easily supplement this in by emphasizing chest when you work triceps - which...

I am not trying to talk you out of volume or frequency so much as setup. For example, why not train tris on a back day, and bis on a chest day? Or train arms and legs together, but on two separate days - "quads and bis", "hams and tris" for instance, or if you want arms twice a week - both. I'm...

You'd do all seven movements each time you work out. I suggest you commit to training Moday, Wednesday, and Friday. Start with three sets of 5 reps for each movement on your first workout. Go light - pick a weight you know is too light for this first workout and just concentrate on the...

When are you hungriest, and when are you not as hungry? If you had to skip one meal, would it be breakfast or your last meal of the day? You've been at this with cardio for some time now. You might have figured it won't work, so you might as well drink the Kool aid and ditch your current...

I split the thread into a journal portion: http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/online-journals/146871-2-years-lifting-2-cycles-115lbs-170lbs.html#post2530193 Go there to discuss buddy's workouts etc. You can go back to trashing each other in here.

I agree - and so I've moved the first post and the workout into journals. bobdylan, your workouts are working - but you may find that a different approach also works - without trashing your joints. Your workouts all focus on isolation movements using machines, which are know to induce a...

Vancouver - as in BC? Where do you train?

1babyjo, describe your current training in detail, please. Break it down by the day and include the lifts you do, sets, reps, weight used, and the amount and type of cardio you do. What do you see as your goal weight?

If squats are hurting your neck, you're holding the barbell wrong. Look up low-bar squats - powerlifters do 'em that way and you might be surprised how comfortable they are that way. Re cleans and shoulders - I know, and I hear it all the time, but damned if they didn't do more for my...

Bah. PMS is the ORIGINAL roid rage. Iris worked hard for that physique - and she isn't that lean all year. That being said, Iris probably carries more lbm in her quads than I have on my whole body. At 5'7" I now carry about 120 lbs of lean mass. In my avatar (that was six years ago, when I...

Getting old DOES suck - and I'm sorry to hear of your injuries. As an older-than-you fossil, myself, allow me to pass along these words of wisdom: there is ALWAYS something to work on. If you can do chinups, work on those - keep your grip narrower than shoulder-width (and ideally, with a neutral...

Welcome. What's your plan?

It's shopped. D'uh. *pop* ...and my bubble bursts. Cardio bunnies are fat and nasty - or bulimic. bobdylan, I'm disappointed. You showed such promise. Now, you bore me.

You've had some excellent advise from cowpimp and big60235 - you need to get your ROM back and implicit in this is mobility through the scapula. When you DO try any kind of pressing, make sure you retract your scapula and engage the lat. This will keep the shoulder down and back - and keep the...

Good boy, you're working your way through this. Like cowpimp said, don't worry about where you fuck up - we ALL fuck up. Focus on the successes, and build on those. Ultimately, you need to figure out how to eat less and not mind. This will be 100% of your success or failure with regard to your...

^ This.

Me. But please carry on - this thread appears to be therapeutic to many of you. I would, however, ask that you move the flaming and insults to "anything goes"; I prefer to come to the anabolic zone to drool shamelessly over the partially undressed young men, thank you.

Did you like it? Did you maintain the four-pound loss? Was it worth the discomfort for the four-pound loss? Do you know how to drop bodyfat without DNP/supplements?
