Each body part. Ex. You want to do chest? Incline Barbell x 4. Incline Dumbell x 4. Cable Cross x 4. Incline Fly x 4. Pec Deck x 4.

It's only a problem that you are trying to gain strength and you are only hitting 1 chest, 1 back, 1 .5 shouder, 1.5 leg, and 2 back workouts. I would try having a chest day and mix in about 12-16 sets for more reps. Ditto back, arms, legs, shoulders. But that's just my .02

Make you own. True MRP shakes are expensive and fattening too. I would just find a good protein, mix in oats, throw in some flax, blend it up, and run off. You get protein, carbs, and good fats. But the oats and ground flax in bulk if you have a food store with bins of them.

Just a bit of perspective. When Arnold was growing up, he was embarrassed about his lack of calves. His first photos all had the calves hidden or cut out. So he walked around in clothes that showed his calves so that his shame and embarrassment would cause him to work harder for that goal. I'm not trying to guilt trip or…

http://www.jissn.com/content/11/1/20 Check this out, it helped me. I would just worry about getting 1g/lb (I know people will probably disagree with this, but hey, worst case you just poo out the excess). I was a slave to 30 g per meal for a long time and it is been brutal. Just get your protein in. You probably want to…

I think men and women have different ideas on gains. So guys are seeming to be douche bags here ... we aren't. To us, gains are just that, gaining size. Gains to women are losing weight. It's not written to be offensive. I think it is just pointing out that a lot of GUYS don't train hard, diet hard, and live in a way that…

Nobody here said anything about fat people. As a guy, I look at other guys who gain no size as having no gains. Gains can be good man. Stop being a victim, life is hard enough. Chill.

That. You stalking me bro? Also helps to have a chip on your shoulder. Set a goal to motivate you, and then every time you wake up, it's one step closer to that goal.

Because they are always their with a group and complete all of 2 working sets per night. Or because they lift the same exact lifts every week, same weight, same form, same diet. Creatures of habit we are.

My life just got so much easier B) All of this time believing lies from people who probably don't even lift! I think I may cry when I eat my 12 oz. of chicken today and realize how easy this really is. No more sideways looks from coworkers when I eat every 2 1/2 hours. Thank you all.

OK, got to it. Meal Frequency section was very interesting. Looks like the whole "several meals a day thing" is just and urban legend. It seems that there are 4 studies that disprove it. So I guess I just need to slam the protein in however I can (as long as pre and post workout are done properly). Great read!

I have always been under the impression that the human body can only UTILIZE 30 grams of protein at once. I am in the process of cutting down (potentially for my first show) and need to keep muscle gains with the protein. I was also under the impression that protein did not store like carbs or fat, so any excess protein is…

To clarify. Are you trying to compete. Trying to cut for summer. Etc.

Eat protein. Eat a lot of carbs if you are trying to bulk. Drop them if you are trying to cut. What are you trying to do?

Honestly anything goes with ON cake batter. Nice sweet vanilla flavor. Das It Man.

Instead of figuring out carbs based on macros, I would just make a target goal of 20 carbs (at most 30). You really need the pee sticks though to be sure hahahaha. You should know after a few days when the good ole migraines and fogginess are gone. If a 300 Lb. individual used 15% carbs, it would be waaaay high ...…
