All this is just advice...

When I first started I was hating on the guys who could do 5 sets 12. I was able to do sets of 3. I used progressive overload and in about 3months I was able to get 10 reps. I also did a lot of pull downs.

Once u stop taking it u will lose a couple of reps and maybe a couple pounds of water weight.

You can eat fat but just don't get fat.

You can afford to cheat, u look great!

Genetics is everything! It determines where ur body stores its fat. If ur a person that doesn't store too much fat in ur mid section u can get abs at a higher bf%.

Body recomposition is possible. Rare but not impossible.

There is a protein called myostatin that limits the amount of muscle a human can acquire.

In my experience a person can get results from almost any program as long as they work hard and do progressive overload. I myself hit each muscle group twice a week.

1000 chicken nuggets are ok but 1001 will kill you.

When im.benching, shoulders back elbows not flared

Whoa

nice glutes!

there is alot of misinformation on this thread. of course u can the same muscles everyday. maybe not with 100% intensity every time. if u r happy with ur abs just keep doin what u r doin. if u r not satisfied work them more.

@beccajean, nope. even her stare in her profile pic has me shakin!

low protein diets. weight lifting not popular

this

^this

\ for body composition

if u r not concerned about preserving/building the most muscle mass ur diet is fine

maybe u should try it a high protein diet for a month or so and compare the results to what r getting now

i put on 2-3 lbs from the creatine bloat. but i dont do a loading phase anymore

this all day

friend, lets say on day 1 of an exercise program u run 5mi 30min and burn 600 cals. on day 30 if u run the same distance in the same. do u think u r going to burn the same amount of cals like u did on day 1OR will ur body have adapted to a certain point to the stress put on and become better (more efficient) at running and…

got it

with all due respect, it is the direct opposite of what u r saying. under caloric restriction ur body learns to do activities with less calories. ur metabolism becomes more efficient.

ha very funny. when u offer no proof just experiences is broscience!

layne is supposed to be a scientist yet when he brought up metabolic damage he offered no scientific data. he offered broscience.

what r u considering a vlcd?

no such thing as metabolic damage. even l. norton has back tracked on some of the things he said. there is metabolic adaptation the same way there is cardiovascular adaptation, and muscular adaptation.
