noooooooooooooooooooooooooo....both massively overpriced. (PHD is also a rip off) ^^ this........or theproteinworks.

A lot of strength gains for newbies can also be technique related. If you have terrible deadlift form and you fix that then you will be able to lift more without gaining any 'real' strength. Lifting in a combination of rep ranges, progressively adding weight/reps to each lift over time..not any single rep range…

different variations of exercises will sometimes only have limited carryover to each other. You may think dumbell bench pressing is the same as barbell bench pressing but it's not, you are in a slightly different position, the weights move over a different range of motion over a slightly different path and generally you…

Agree with this, box squatting did nothing for my free squat. I'd you want to box squat I would make sure you still free squat in some capacity. You could use the box for your heavy sets and take it away for your rep work for example. It you only exclusively box squat you will on for a nasty surprise when you go back To…

Squat as low as you can while maintaining good form, be that parallel, slightly below or a2g. If you powerlift, then just make sure you hit parallel. You won't be able to get a2g in a low bar squat.

It's a complete waste of time. most likely it's just super low calorie + low sodium so you drop a bunch of water weight which will come straight back once you start eating normally again and you will look exactly the same. sorry but that's just not happening. Takes time.

yes, this is still a training stimulus. you are concentrating on that 1 workout in isolation without looking at the big picture. today you do 5 x 10 @ 40 next week you 5 x 11 @ 40 week after you do 5 x 12 @ 40 then you add 2.5 kilos and go back to sets of 8-10 and repeat. that's getting stronger, and it's possible in a…

Completely and totally disagree with this. If you take a lighter set close to, or to failure you will activate nearly all muscle fibres. You should be implementing progressive overload on your assistance exercises as well as the main lifts, after only lifting for 3months you should still be able to do that. If today I…

Couple of points that come to mind, especially considering this Strength gains can be made in any rep range, people seem to forget that. Getting stronger over 8-12 reps is still getting stronger If you're a newb then you need the practise at the lifts as much as possible. Doing the lifts for repetitions (assuming your form…

Soreness means nothing. If you hit a pr in the gym and you don't get sore the next day........it's still a pr. If you miss a lift you should have made but get pretty sore the next day, you still missed the lift you dont get any points for DOMS. You seem to be always below your calorie goals and way below your protein…

Or if I misunderstood the question and meant when do you adjust total calorie intake....usually or me when the scale hasn't move In the direction I was intending for 2 weeks or so

nobody cares op. This thread is only still alive because of the gifs.

Why do you feel you need to change them? Especially as it appears from what you said what you are doing is working. My macros have been pretty much the same for years, I just keep protein at 1grm per lb, fats around 0.4grm per lb and then adjust how many carbs I eat depending on total calorie needs.

looks fine but you would be better to keep your head in a neutral position instead of looking right up like you do, this will help with the back rounding also. If you watch some of the form check videos from supertraining Mark Bell emphasises this point all the time.…

as long as you continue to increase the weight you are using over the same rep range, you will get stronger and bigger. You don't have to train in the 'hypertrophy rep ranges' of 8-12 to gain muscle. same.

He already did on page 4 Thread should have ended there really

I'll try and watch it later OP I'm high as f*** right now.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Do you have legs? You need to work all of you body For example Rear foot elevated Dumbell split squat Goblet squats Dumbell lunges Dumbell thrusters Dumbell bent over rows Overhead press Google all of those

typical macros for bodybuilders/fitness whatever are 0.8-1gram of protein per lb of bodyweight 0.4gram of fat per lb of bodyweight fill the rest of your calories with carbs not saying it's right or wrong......but it's where most people start.

Rubbish. NO. the best way to improve insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate metabolism is to engage in regular intense exercise and keep within a sensible body fat range. no short cuts i'm afraid/ people who can't meet their daily protein needs through normal food

Depends on your individual leverages, I'm a better conventional puller than sumo. It's a good idea to work both in your training.

Lol, he's not natural he's in the WBFF. Anyway, a couple of very well know bodybuilding routines that implement 100 rep sets are German volume training [although thats 10x10]and kris kethins DTP program, although why he would make a beginner do either of these is another question.

your hips come up first because you are starting with them too low, I would also get slightly closer to the bar on your set up and keep your shins more vertical this will stop the bar drifting forward like it does on the second rep. This video sums this up perfectly I would strongly suggest you watch it…

I salute you sir.

recently it has been 2 slices of wholemeal bread with chocolate chip peanut butter.

Doesn't really matter if what is happening would be medically diagnosed as overtraining or not........it's pretty clear you need to take a break.

do you feel sick after eating every single source of carbs or just particular sources?

Ifbb Bikini pro Amanda latona No 1 ranked ifbb figure pro Nicole Wilkins 2012 and 2011 miss Olympia winner iris Kyle That's the difference, how much muscle do you want Btw lots of those figure girls are definitely using
