When do you shred ?
So at the moment I'm bulking I'm currently up to just over 13 stone. And I've noticed a bit of a tummy coming my way. I'm just wondering at what point are you supposed to shred. Any advice would be appreciated.

Doies Bulking Get Too Much Press?
Would appreciate some thoughts. There is a lot of discussion on forums, articles on line, in magazines, etc on bulking. Many of the posters on here and many of the experts would suggest a male should not begin a bulk until they are in the 10-12% bf range. Looking around most gyms and even more on the streets, beaches, etc,…

Pre-Workout Drinks are a scam
I'm sure most of you will disagree with me on this but hear me out. Only over the past couple or three years have pre-workouts become really popular. 4 to 5 years ago people really weren't drinking pre-workouts and you never really heard much about them. It's funny that people go to the gym to get healthy yet they put in a…

I've read that drinking water and cutting down on sugar and salt will help lose the chubby cheeks. Will I still be able to put on mass, whilst…

The PED questions I get
Let's set the record straight since so many people either comment or write me accusing me of being on steroids so my advice is to others is worthless. Have I done steroids.... yep! Not ashamed or afraid to admit it. With that being said, I am not on a cycle nor have I been for almost 2 years now. And I won't go on them…

I accidentally bulked..
Ok, so I really just failed at staying in maintenance and then at going into a deficit once I realized I was gaining. I'd say I put on about ten pounds in say, six months. I'm pretty sure I gained a little bit of muscle along the way though! I think I'm going to bite the bullet and go back to the BodPod to see just what…

thoughts on IIFYM? Is it just as effective as clean dieting?
Hey guys, im 18 and I just recently started working out. Im around 5 months in and have gained 20 pounds. I haven't really gained any bodyfat but I'm still not looking that big. Maybe it's just the typical bodybuilder's perception of always thinking that they dont look big enough. But anyways, I'm eating roughly 3300…

Loose skin
I'm 22 and 330 lbs. I've been on a low carb diet for a week now and have at least an 800 calorie deficit a day. I'm a new mom and am exercising when I get a chance. I've had a lot of illnesses in life and used to weigh well over 400 pounds. My question is, what can I do to ensure I don't have a crap ton of loose skin at…

Best Dried Fruits & Nuts?
Hey, just wanted a quick opinion from you guys. I know for a fact, Dried Fruits & Nuts are great for snacking and just bulking in general. However, I'm not a huge fan of just eating raw Almonds (which seems to be the go-to nut) but am a fan of Cashews rather. Would that still be a good option in terms of nuts to snack on…
