I've been weightlifting on and off for the past couple years; I'm just now starting to pick it back up. A quick history; I'm definitely ectomorph, about 5'11" and at the height of my lifting I was about 155lbs. Now I'm back down to around 145lbs. I have such a hard time putting on weight. On...

I took about 6 months off; I had been working out for about a year and a half solid. I've lost pretty much all the muscle mass I had gained. I'm 5'11", 145lbs...quite lanky. This summer I'm hitting the gym hard...the only supplements I plan on taking are whey protein, Muscle Milk, and...

As I was sipping on my coffee this morning, the thought crossed my mind. Does anyone mix their CEE in their morning coffee (prior to working out)? Are there any disadvantages to doing so? I think the bitter taste of straight coffee would slightly take away the horrid taste of BN's CEE...

I have been focusing most of my workouts on the upper body and I've seen good progress but my lower body needs to grow out too. I rarely work lower body; probably once every 3 to 4 weeks. And after I do, I'm always (understandably) sore for the next 3 or so days. A basic principle for...

Here is a picture of me in May 2004; I hadn't lifted weights in my life up to this point. http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=5264 I've been working out sporadically since August 2004, however the past month I have been going solid, working out every day and...

Will sitting in the hot tub for 10-15 minutes after a workout be beneficial or detrimental? My thinking is it is beneficial as it allows blood to flow easier, helping to transport the protein and creatine I'm taking to all parts of my body. Or should I be hitting the sauna instead of the...

Do any of you guys get your eyebrows waxed/plucked/whatever? Mine are and always have been quite bushy/long and I'm thinking of getting them at least reduced a wee wittle bit.

I'm looking for the proper form...right now I find that it is a lot easier to pump out more reps if I don't drop my arms fully back to perpendicular with the floor, but rather keep one arm slightly bent while I'm curling the other dumbbell/arm. Then when I lower that arm, I curl the other arm...

Right now I generally take whey protein with milk (to slow the digestion as opposed to using water) before I go to bed. I'm thinking about switching to Muscle Milk right before I head to bed. I'm looking to gain weight; I don't want to lose weight. Would Muscle Milk mixed in with milk (not...

I've been making some good gains in the depths of my biceps/triceps but they're still skinny as hell. Are there any exercises which can help make them wider or do they generally just get wider as they get bigger?

About two months ago I injured my left shoulder (tore ligaments under scapula). Went to about a month of physical therapy for it and since then I've been doing strenuous upper body workouts without problem. Today I did lower body for the first time in a week or two. I was on an angled hack...

I'm going to begin taking CEE shortly and am looking for the correct dosage. I read up on Creatine: Beyond the Confusion - Part II. I'm going to be taking Bulk Nutrition's CEE which according to the label is 1/4teaspoon=410mg. Now for the maintenance phase (as I understand it, CEE doesn't...

Besides using dumbbells instead of a barbell on the bench, are there any other equivalents to using a barbell? I'm literally scared to use a barbell just to bench an easy weight without a spotter; I haven't used a barbell for almost two months since my shoulder gave out while benching an easy...

I just weighed myself before my workout and I was at 144.0lb even (digital scale). At the end of my workout, same clothes/everything (minus iPod and a bathroom break) I was at 145.7lb. So I gained roughly 2lb of water weight just during an hour-long workout. I was kinda surprised. Is that...

What has been my main problem and what continues to be my main problem is lacking a good workout routine. I am relatively new to lifting (only about a year now) and never did any lifting during high school so I am relatively uneducated. I sometimes go with a buddy who plays football and...

What's the difference between the two? As I understand it Kre-Alkalyn won't convert into biproducts before it reaches the essential areas in your body. It also doesn't retain water as pure creatine monohydrate does. Right now I'm on Kre-Alkalyn and I'm thinking about switching to 1Fast400's...

I've been lifting for about a year now -I use to take MuscleMilk but now all I'm taking is whey protein. I'm highly considering trying creatine. I've done some reading on BSN No-Xplode and other creatine products - it seems as though it is simply a case of trial and error. A product...

I'm seeing improvements in myself but one thing that is remaining the same is my pecs. My chest is pretty much flat. I'm not looking for huge buldging pecs but I want a little bit of definition up there. What can I do to improve in this area? All I do so far that mainly target my pecs are...

Mmmk, let's hear it. Do you have a hairy ass or a...bald ass? :bulb:

I'm looking to kill my pecs today - what are some good exercises for them? The most obvious is the pec deck fly but other than that, I don't really have any direction to go in.
