I have been researching this topic and lurking thru these threads for a long time. More than likely, I will only run one cycle (if I decide to do it at all. I have really been set on staying natural. ). Below is my proposed cycle. Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Stats...

It started around 2 months ago. My left posterior delt hurts like hell. It is hard to tell the exact location but I think it is deep inside. It only hurts on presses, both vertical and horizontal. I have been taking it easy on those planes but it does not seem to be getting better. I can do...

I told Pushandpull I would post pics of my wooden squat rack but I can't find the thread. So, I started a new one showing my entire gym. Here it is. Cost around $1200.

I am not eating nearly as much as I was when I was bulking. When I first started my cut everything was fine; bf dropping, pounding weights, and still making gains. Well, now I hardly have the energy to get a good workout in and after doing, for example, squats and bench, or deads and cleans. I...

I am in the middle of a cut. I was not expecting any gains during this time, and while this is true in terms of mass gains, I have been steadily increasing weight on the bar and performed reps:thinking:. Anyway, below is my current training program. It is kind of a full body 3 day split with...

First, I would like to thank you guys for helping me get moving in the right direction. I have lifted basically my whole life but never with any real purpose. THe biggest I have ever been up until last december was 175# (basically this weight was maintained from age 18 to 31). During 31, I...

I enjoy using different methods of training and in my last few weeks of bulking I don't want to start a long training cycle. I was thinking of trying DC training to pack on a few more pounds before I cut. This bulk has been quite successful. I started on December 1, 2009 @ 175 and am...

I am bulking (195# @12%bf) and my daily intake is around 3500-4000 calories. My goal is to eat 1.5g/lbm of p, 0.5g/lbm of f, and the rest are carbs. I am consistently eating 50% to 100% more fats than required by the 0.5g/lbm. Do you think this needs to be adjusted? If it were simple I...

As people at work see my dedication and physique development, they are getting inspired to better themselves. They want my help. The most challenging is a guy that weighs 325# and is 6'-1"tall. He is fat. What would you say a rough bf% would be for a guy like this? I am putting a diet...

I can get a complete set of dumbbells from 5# to 100# (2 of each at 5# increments) for $500. Total weight is 2100#. I need help deciding whether or not I should get it. Deal or no deal?

With as much as we tend to eat, especially bulking, does anyone pay attention to things like cholesterol, saturated fats, etc? Do you track them?

I am due to take next week off from training. When I started the cycle I am about to finish, I was benching 265#, squating ???, and DL ???. I would like to know what my 1RM's are for the main lifts and was wondering if it would be o.k. to do that over the week off, do them next week and then...

This week I will finish my first mesocycle (9 weeks) using the power-reprange-shock program developed by Eric Broser(GoPro). I have not maxed out to see how much I have improved my 1RM on main compounds but to summarize: Age:32, Height:6'-0" -------------11/16/2009------------1/18/2009...

I have developed an excel spread sheet that can be used to track your daily macro's. I have set up a graph that will plot out how your progress is going to help you decide if your on track to reach your goal. I like it alot and want to share it with you guys but I need to refine it a bit...

I am 6'-0" and currently 183# and around 13% BF. When I started bulking about 2 months ago, I was at 175#. My goal is to be 200# with a BF of around 8%. Would it be best to bulk to 210# and cut back to 200# in one shabang or bulk to 195#, cut to 190#, bulk to 200#, cut to 195#, etc.? In...

I am bulking and was wondering what percentage of your macros come from whey protein. Mine are roughly 33% of calories, 35% of protein, 45% of carbs, and 12% fats. Seem high, low, about right? Just wondering.

I have been lifting for a long time but never with any strategy; just lifting weights with routines that I used while I was in HS football. However, I felt I was not adding on the muscle mass that I felt I should so a few months ago I began researching and found this forum. After reading...

Quickly, does lifting to failure mean lift until you absolutely can't lift the weight or lift until it hurts so damn bad you don't want to? Reason why I ask is that I want to get the most outta the workout but I work out alone and done have a spotter.
