Hi everyone, I'm trying to start a new routine and I have been contemplating doing full body workouts, low volume, 3 times a week. I have always done a typical 3-day split in the past. I'm worried that a full-body workout 3 times a week would be too much strain on the body. So I was wondering...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me with this...I'm having trouble understanding the whole "training to failure" thing. I've lifted for a while but mostly just have done it with friends and never really researched the right way to do things or anything...but now I'm trying to...

Hi everyone, I have never used or really considered using supplements before...I'm not a bodybuilder, just a normal guy, and I've never really wanted to be "huge" or anything. However, I recently got my test. levels checked and they were ridiculously low..so my doctor put me on androderm, which...

Hi guys, I have very little experience with supplements, I've just always heard "they're bad for you" and so I never really thought about them until now. I have anorexia which I just recently "admitted" to and I'm starting to see a therapist and doctor to treat it. Obviously one of the most...

Hey guys, I'm at school, living on campus, and I don't have a car, so I'm pretty much limited to food on campus. There's this little mini-mart place on campus, and they sell eggs, but sometimes they'll have a bunch, and sometimes they'll go a week without stocking any. My mini fridge is pretty...

I was thinking about this after thanksgiving because of all the high fat dark turkey meat...normally most people say that fats with omega 3's like fish oil are the ultra-healthy ones, and unsaturated fats like PB, etc. are the "healthy" fats, and saturated fats are "bad". But I was reading this...

Well its my sisters birthday tonight so it looks like we???re going to Coldstone (a big ice cream place) so I???m making it a cheat meal. Besides trying to enjoy myself and not freak out about what I???m eating, is there anything I can do to make the cheat not as bad? I know that all of the...

Ok, it seems like everyone is always either bulking or cutting...but say you get to a point where you are satisfied with your body and just want to maintain...how would you go about this? I mean, when you're bulking your goal is to increase the amount of weight you lift every week..but if you...

Hi, I have taken about 5 days off after being burned out from overtraining. I had been doing 5 days with an hour intense cardio per week, plus a three day split. I had been doing this for probably about a year straight with no rest except my one day off from the gym a week. About a month ago I...

Hey guys, I'm trying to make a workout program that will work for me, and I think I'm going to do a 3-day split so that I'm lifting mon, wed, fri and hitting each body part one day a week (I might do chest and shoulders twice a week, not sure yet). I'm a runner and I want to keep that up as...

Ok here???s my situation - any help/advice/support is much appreciated. I have lost a little less than twenty pounds over the past 1.5 years. I didn???t need to lose a lot of weight to begin with and I lost a good deal of muscle as well (I was lifting weights as well, but cardio always took...

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to lifting, and was wondering if I could get some much-needed advice. Because I play sports and am very active, I do my legs and back on the same day because I want to do these muscle groups on days when I do no cardio (because legs and back are two of the largest...

Hi, I'm looking to add fish oil to my diet for the omega 3's, and was wondering what brand is the best and cheapest. I found this one made by optimum nutrition which seems pretty cheap, it's like $3.50 for 100 1000 mg softgels, but there are a lot of other brands that are a lot more expensive...

Does anyone have any recommendations for body fat calipers...specific brands, etc? I'm looking for the least expensive ones that are still accurate. Also, are they sold at retail stores like GNC or is it best to buy online? Thanks, Luke

I read the sticky on refeeds as a means of restoring glycogen stores, pretty interesting stuff. However, it seems to promote refeeds for those cutting on a fairly low carb diet. Are refeeds recommended for people that aren't reducing their carbs? I understand that after a couple days of training...

Hey guys, I'm a runner, I average about 30 miles a week. Over the past year I cut calories and managed to lose about 20-25 lbs, but I lost a good deal of muscle too, even though I was lifting 3 days a week. I actually lost more than I wanted to (I'm way too skinny right now), and so I want to...
