No squatting on the dumbbell rack!

not very active.

Walking into the gym and expecting to know exactly what to do after a long period absence is unrealistic. It's like speaking a language that you haven't spoken for 10 years... there are going to be lapses. It is a learning process that takes time to build confidence and character. Oh and don't discouraged if you're walking…

i rarely do it I have before. About 2 family size meatlovers pizza's would do the trick, they are about 2600 cals each.

The longer it is out of your system the less you're body craves it, however the more you're mind craves it.

What do you mean by a lot? I mean I could eat 5000 calories in one sitting which is not a lot to me. Are the foods that you are eating causing you to be tired? High fatty, processed foods will lead to an insulin spike and crash and makes you feel tired afterwoods.

Eat food. Could try a pre-workout supplement.

Deadlift: 500lb 1RM Bench: 270 1RM Squat: 450 1RM Dumbbell Shoulder Press: 100lb, 15 - 20 reps

This man right here.

500ml Egg whites. 56 grams protein, 0 grams carbs, 1 gram fat. Just drink it out of the box, no need to cook it.

my guess. You've crashed too fast. By that I mean your metabolism.

What do you mean by macros will do nothing? OP: have you tried protein supplements like Whey? or another thing is with your eggs, since you eat 2 full eggs and 1 white, just take out 1 yolk and 4x the whites.

Hands up. No homo.

fat loss is not linear. It is up to you to jolt or shock your metabolism into function again. Which is very easy to do.

Grip strength: One-arm Dumbbell Rows or Rack Pulls You're back is much more powerful than your grip, so these two exercises will allow your grip to catch up to the strength of your back.

I train twice a day, 6 days a week. Have at least 1 day of the week off.

I understand what he's saying. When I'm in the gym I like to focus, and zone out with my earphones in, not hearing anything, and not talk to anyone. The gym is not a place for socializing to me. If I want to socialize I will go somewhere else. Gym time is war time. However, of course if someone who is new or needs a spot…

try it and see what happens. If it doesn't work, go back to 1200.

I know my body pretty well and have tested how many calories I can take for maintainence. This calculator was pretty damn close.

muscle hypertrophy is activated by resistance training, diet, and hormones. The reason why Bench Press, Squat and Deadlift are named the 'big three' is because science and research have determined that these 3 exercises release the most amount of HGH. If you have a significant amount of fat around your thighs and hips and…

A little trick I like to use when I'm on my diet to give the metabolism a little kick so it doesn't get used to a 2800 deficit are 'refeed days'. Look into it.

it's not a protein powder ... Personally I like C4 Cellucor Extreme, Jack3d (I can't use this anymore because of 1, 3 Dymeth), Jack3d Micro, No-xplode. Currently i'm using MuscleTech Nano Vapour which is very very very powerful stuff no kidding. Not necessary to get super hard stuff like muscletech but I received a tub for…

Barbell Shrugs Military Press Bent Over Rows are all acceptable exercises to do in the squat rack.

transsaturated fat yes.

Alternate between both. Machine's are good for isolation of muscle groups. Free weights typically require the use of stabilizing muscles. With the two, you stimulate your muscles in different angles, you're doing yourself a disadvantage if you're not utilizing both IMO.

Don't you eat meat? meat is clean food to as long as you don't lace it with oil or has a low fat ratio.

I went in to the gym today and saw a pair hanging off the incline bench. I was pissed because I wasn't doing chest and I wanted to try them out...

Don't squat on the incline bench.
