  • I do 30-45 min. each session. One of the hardest adjustments was learning to not 'hang around' the gym. Instead, have your program in hand, go in, do the reps and get out. After a while, you'll appreciate the extra time available for the rest of your day. Sorry #RossUK88, but if you smoke each session, you're ripe for…

  • Absolutely agree with #JulieWatkin... Smith is not designed for squats. The bar needs to move on the horizontal plane as your body moves in the vertical plane. Smith does not allow this.

  • First, your post sounds like an excuse to binge wasted calories. Cookies, cakes, sugar, etc do nothing for your goal. If you need a snack and factor in the sugar, carbs.; eat a cookie. Don't use the program to justify the snacking. Second, short term bulking is done all the time. Don't stop lifting and don't sit on your…

  • Web search for Dan John, the inventor of the Goblet Squat and the 4-week squat 101. One of his favorite expressions is " squats don't hurt your back/knees/wrists/etc., what you're doing hurts your back/knees/wrists/etc". Here is a you tube link to some of his videos.…

  • Forty-eight hours after the workout is perfectly normal. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/29/second-day-muscle-soreness_n_4324296.html excerpt from the article above.... There's a name for this type of delayed onset muscle soreness, and -- surprise! -- it's delayed onset muscle soreness (or DOMS). DOMS usually sets in…

  • First, apologize to the women or you'll never get all the feedback you need. My wife is 5'0" /125 lbs with a 125 bench and 230 dead-lift so take some advise and edit your post. Second, get a book or read on programs about lifting and you will realize why working every muscle is not the way to go. Muscle does not build…

  • misxkx, Do yourself a favor and spend 6 months to a year going to a gym, assuming there is one fairly close to you. Buying the weights for home is a waste of money if you don't know how to use them. Learn from experienced lifters and employ the routines that will work for you. Lifting heavy also means lifting more after a…

  • Folks, I don't think the 1000 cal/hr is the real issue here. This guy is concerned about his friend's health and well-being. Going to the gym daily and burning whatever amount of calories and not replenishing fluids, nutrients, etc is dangerous no matter how many cal/hr you burn. If your friend is not refilling the tank…
