I would love a C7 Z06 Corvette but until thenow I am happy with my current ride 07 twin turbo Corvette. Besides I think I can still outrun (but not outhandle) the Z.

For BCAA's you can try Purple Wraath in the purple lemonade flavor. Not too sweet and pretty cheap.

So if I have weights I should use my 10RM for the weight or something less? You can't make a workout program without putting some actual programming in place. You are leaving it up to beginners to design everything and using a deck of cards for the order. Not a good plan and potential recipe for disaster.
-
13 exercises randomly chosen by me, with with some random number of reps, done in some random order chosen by a deck of cards is now a good program? What if I pick 13 leg workouts for 1 rep or maybe only work my "pulling" muscles? Your workout lacks criteria and guidance necessary for a quality workout.

I had a Fitbit (the one that was recalled) and never had a problem with it. I was going to just keep but decided against it because the apps wouldn't support it after some time. Never did return it as my puppy chewed it and broke it. I did purchase an Atlas Wearable which was working OK but just didn't quite track my…

Both. Nicely equipped gym at home and commercial about a mile away. I like the convenience of home but the atmosphere of getting out of the house as well. The gym keeps track of lifting records so it is a nice motivator to keep going.

I will state that I take a number of vitamina and minerals based on blood testing and I take a multi for the hell of it. Bias aside I am not sure the text above is meaningful to the discussion. I agree that a balanced diet will give most people what they need. No argument there. The problem is that people don't always have…

If cico doesn't work for you then you need to make an appointment with a physicist and not a physician because you have broken the laws of physics and need to be studied.

If you know anyone who is somewhat handy you might try to modify a half rack. Cut a section out of the bottom support and put a metal insert in with a few bolts to hold in place. Done right it would be adjustable back to 7ft at a later date.

A little patriotic for this weekend.

The trainers, nutritionists and management philosophy at my old gym was that you could eat all the whole foods (whatever that really means) you want and not gain weight. Their pitch was that you would be satiated and not able to eat over your body's needs. After a seminar reinforcing this is asked if they were confident…
-
I say whatever you are comfortable with and how long you want the cut to last. If you have plans for the beach or pool then probably not a good time to bulk. Just make sure that you are lifting in a structured way and truly bulking. Too easy to just eat more and not lift enough. Good luck and happy bulking.

Eating before depends on what time I workout. I hate when I go to the gym and feel full from a meal. Before - Pre-workout + creatine During - Water and BCAA's After - Protein or meal depends on time of day or night.
-
I suppose I should be a proud d-bag then. I grunt on my heavy set and sometimes quite loudly on a 1RM or last rep on my AMRAP. Usually pretty quiet on my deadlifts but I guess a d-bag when I am at a heavier set and the plates bang a bit on the ground during my reps. I guess it is possible that bodybuilders who flex and…

I add more weight to the bar when I want a challenge or feel great that day. Maybe a couple of extra reps or attempt a PR.

Jokers and most of the other modifications are documented in the Beyond book.

You are confusing assistance exercises with what the app is poorly labeling Assistance Program. Joker Sets are an enhancement to the program where if you have an awesome workout and feel great you get to up the weight 5% and do 5, 3, or 1 rep at that weight (depending on if you are in week 1, 2, or 3). You succeed at 5%,…

What are your current working weights and are you an intermediate lifter? It should be a lot longer to complete.
-
Well I hit a squat PR on Friday and was close on a bench PR yesterday so I should take today odd before deadlifting. I say this as I type away at the gym.
-
Stick with the program because if you do anything less than 300x20 on your AMRAP would will always be left wondering if you could have done it.
-
I thought Shredz was something in Photoshop :smiley:
-
What program are you running and what does it call for on sets x reps for deads? That is a lot of max reps and maybe there is a variation where you can move to 135 but lower the reps or sets.
-
And what objective measures are being used to determine that "base level of fitness" so you know when you are ready? If you truly want to get stronger you are going to have to increase something in your lifting program (weight, reps, sets). If you want more muscle you are going to have to eat at a surplus of some sort.…

Got my 1200+ tonight. 405 squat (x2) 315 bench 500 dead. 1220 total Where to go next........
-
You need to be more specific on your goals, training plan, and eating plan to get any useful input. Do you want more muscle, strength, endurance, or just show off what is underneath? You said strength training but it doesn't sound like a strength plan. A non-progressive lifting plan isn't much of a strength plan. Calories…

And here I go thinking a Quest bar was real food, didn't realize I was eating something imaginary.

Don't just watch Rippetoe's videos, read his Starting Strength book from cover to cover. Alan Thrall is great at explaining and showing and he has a pair of tree trunks for legs.

Between your uterus falling out and the loss of your period you women folk should stay out of the gym and let us men do the lifting. Hey I have to do something to free up the squat rack so I can bench in there. No women = less competition for the rack.
