Would a split with 4 days on and then 3 days off be ok? I thought it would probably be better for the CNS to give it as long of breaks as possible, but i really have no idea. Should i do 2 days on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off? My current split is Chest/tris, Back/bis, Shoulders/traps, Legs/abs.

Guess im gonna start one of these, i should have done it a long time ago to monitor my lifts but better late than never. All sets taken to failure Chest + Triceps 30sec - 1min rests depending on how long it takes to switch weights/equipment Flat Barbell Bench (wide grip) - 170x3 155x3 135x3...

I've been doing 25 rep squats for awhile now, they are pretty painful but i think my legs have responded to them pretty well. After i get done with them im pretty drained though and can usually only leg press for a set or two until im totally spent. Do most people do low or high reps for legs?

Anything?

First of all, which is worse on a cut, sugars or fats (like from cheese, butter, red meat)? And how do you tell a "good" fat from a bad one? Another side question. Is there any scale or something that is generally accepted when it comes to fat loss? Like i know they say you can put on up to a...

Do you need to: A. Lower calorie intake B. Lower carb intake C. Lower both calorie and carb intake ?

Im getting a little frustrated. I've been trying to bulk for the last 4 months and so far have put on 12lbs then lost 3 of it so im down to about 9lbs of total gain since i started lifting. I've lost fat but not nearly enough. I belive im at somewhere between 15 and 18% bf and would like to get...

Or something its called im supposed to go on for my sinuses. I was on this before and gained about 60 lbs almost all of it fat when i was about 15, it makes me eat like an animal. Does anyone know if this is something that will increase my testosterone so i should lift harder or if it just makes...

Can bad form be a good thing? Like for instance, say you are doing standing barbell curls. If you bend your back a bit and up the weight you are lifting, wouldnt you then give your lower back a bit of a workout as well as your biceps? Couldn't you therefore get the same workout for your bi's and...

I've always monitored my weight by weighing myself at the same time each morning. I was progressively gaining about a pound or so each week, but about 4 weeks ago i stopped gaining. I figured this was because my schedule had changed and i was eating less often. So i started eating more often...

I'm running out of things to eat. I'm going to be bulking for at least the next year or until i put on about 40 pounds. I was getting plenty of calories before I started this summer class but now my schedule is kinda messed up and I'm not able to get as many calories as I was getting. I need...

Can you do one armed cable crossovers if you just have a regular cable set up? I don't have a cable crossover machine but i do have regular cables and have been using them to do one arm at a time for cable crossovers. By the time i do them my chest is already pretty burnt but i can usually feel...

I have a question about upright rows. I've done them for awhile now, alternating usually between bb, db, and cable, but whenever i do them the majority of burning or stretching i feel is in my arms. Like right on the tricep bump or whatever when you push your arm straight down and have that...

Well as of right now and probably for awhile longer im bulking, but i was wondering if there are any fruits of vegetables to avoid when bulking or cutting. The fruits that i often eat are apples, pears, raisins, grapes, and sometimes some berries. For vegetables i eat corn, green beans, and...

Which muscle group do pullovers mainly target? Should they be done on a chest day or back or what?

I've seen people here advising others not to take roids unless they have the genetic potential to be bodybuilders. Now im not looking to use roids or anything like that, id just like to know if there is a way to determine about how big you can get after years of training. I mean, how would...
