I call it the 7-11 diet. If anyone cares, I was able to cut 25 lbs in 3 months by keeping my protein intake high with whey, and cutting my calories to bet 2000 and 2500 per day. I call it the 7-11 diet for 2 reasons. Firstly because I only allowed myself 700 cals by 11am, and after that it...

I have been lifting for about 10 years. I have done 3 serious cuts. This last one I made it all the way to my goal (single digit bf) which is where I'm at now. I'm 6'2" 195 now. I had been in the 220's - 230 for a long time. I feel skinny now, but there is no way I'm skinny. I'm just...

After 10 years, I'm starting to realize that you can build a great body including legs and overall size/shape without squats. Yes, I squatted for some years, but i havn't for over a year and i've never looked better. Also, I see too many guys squatting big weight who look like crap.

Is more sets and reps with less weight and less resting as good for cutting as cardo plus a heavy lifting routine? My diet is fine.

Yesterday this guy was screaming on every rep. I have never heard anything like it. I may yelp a little on my last rep because of the pain, but I don't yell or scream. I know another guy who yells very loud on the last few reps. He goes big, but the yelling is obnoxious. Does anyone know if...

After a warm up set, I always train to failure on the remaining sets (usually 3 sets total per lift). Have for years. My philosophy is very scientific. If I can possibly do another rep, then I do it (or fail trying). Period. Is there a problem with this?

I have been cuttting all Summer. I have not had a refeed in over a week. Can I eat this monster over the next 2 days as my refeed? I don't want to throw it away, and there is nobody here to help me eat it. I know I should have ordered a medium and finshed it all today, but I let my stomach...

I may only be able to work out 1-2 times a week for 2 months. If I keep my diet in check, do you think I can maintain the exact amount of muscle I have now if I only work out 1-2 times per week? I'm thinking 1-2 full body WO's per week.

After a ballistic chest workout, there is no way I can military press the lbs I do when I give shoulders their own day. Who ever decided they should be together?

I've had em for years. The solution? A camera! I bought this camera that shoots on floppy so I can look at photos daily if I want. Hey, I have been at this for over 8 years, and when I look in the mirror i think "lame." NOW, I snap a picture and load to computer and look at it...

I do. Last week after doing bi's, I walked by a loaded barbell in a corner...stopped and did a burnout set and put it down, thinking it was someone's bar who was taking a break. 2 minutes later, a guy yells "Hey, I'll clean up your weights for you!" as if it was my rack. I told him they...

If I ignore my growling stomach in the midle of the night, am I likely to burn muscle?

I'm not going to name him...No! He eats 3-5 high protien meals per day and snacks on nuts, and protein shakes plus vitamins, flax/EFA's all day. He eats super high protein and fairly high fat year round...low carb YEAR AROUND! For carbs he adds in fiberous fruits. I think his protien...

Do I continue to try to lift the same weight/reps while I cut for the next 12 weeks? I have cut for 3 weeks now and my lifts have dropped 10 lbs across the board...does this mean i am loosing muscle? WHen i get down to single digits BF, should i be able to lift the same weight or will i get...

Why can't this muscle be figured out? I've hit it at every angle for years and they merely get defined. Every other BP comes around (well rear delts piss me off too), but calves are a mystery. Screw it. I'm getting implants.

I want to cut 10 lbs after a season of bulking. I may need to drop another 5 by summer, but i want to see what 10 looks like first. Can i drop 10 in 4 weeks by a little calorie restriction only/no cardio, and keep my same bulking lift schedule.... without any muscle loss? I'm determined to...

I read an article awhile back (i forget the pub, names ect. so don't ask). The title "Stop Flat Benching." The pro said to only do incline because they will build your upper chest and the upper pec muscle will hold your pecs up vs flat and decline which will put more mid and lower mass on...

I look like shit when I'm ripped. Tired and hungry. Fug it. and fug abs.

I want my shoulders to explode, so I hit them hard on Monday (after weekend off), because I'm at my freshest. By Fri (chest day/my most developed part) I'm a bit fried...which is ok. But, I'm wondering if I should do shoulders on Fri because I have 2 days rest after Fri. What do you think...

Most big or developed guys in my gym (and yours) have shit delts. Sure they think they are fine, but outside of Coleman and a few genetic freaks, we all have crap delts. Its time we realize just how important this muscle(s) is and figure out how to get amazing cannon-balls....Sure my delts are...
