I used to get paranoid too. Then I laid off the drugs and it cleared right up.

I climb poles, crawl around in attics and pull cable 10-14 hours a day. Fortunately I gave a 4 on 3 off schedule so I can get plenty of gym time on the weekends.

Because I want to get freakishly strong. Like, shaved gorilla strong.

Pink Flamingos. John Waters is awesome.

When I had a home gym I had a fart with a solid center on a max bench attempt. Fortunately it was just me and my training partner in the garage. Had a good laugh, cleaned up and finished the workout.

45 grams of spinach at lunch. EXACTLY 45 grams.

I seriously thought you were talking about icecream put on top of a piece of pizza rolled into a cone.

Motorhead. All of it.

Meh. Lots of bro-sciency nonsense online for the most part. Bb.com, T-Nation etc. I would recommend for beginners keeping it simple and running Starting Strength. Little more time then run 5/3/1. Personally I like elitefts. But I don't let what I read DRASTICALLY change my training. Get on a plan and run it.

27 yo male in Texas here. Been strength training seriously for four years, let a dirty bulk go WAY out of hand and ballooned up to a sloppy 240lbs. Signed up for my first meet in December to light a fire under my *kitten* to drop down to 220 or 198 class. Let's see how it goes!

Why so many reps? Personally I limit deadlifts to 5 reps, but that's just my preference and what works for me. Beyond that, chalk is a huge help. Get the stuff rock climbers use. Might also try doing targeted grip and forearm work. Farmers walks, plate pinches, high rep HEAVY dumbbell rows have all worked for me.

It's calorie restriction... it'll work but it's a crash diet with another name.

*kitten* Your Enemy- Superjoint Ritual Curse of Millhaven- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Couldn't be more different sonically but damned if I don't hit PRs like a savage with those playing.

Whatevers clean and some Chuck Taylors.

Never really time my workouts beyond the cardio aspect. I go into the gym with a plan, execute said plan, and that's that. If it takes 30 minutes, cool. Hour and a half? That's cool too, as long as I hit the lifts I have programmed.

Get a copy of Starting Strength and follow it. Disregard the dietary advice and add some sprinting. Personally I can take or leave the power cleans in the program, but that's just my opinion. No need to reinvent the wheel. Secondly, as far as changing up rep schemes you don't need it yet. That's called periodization and…
