All feel free to add me, I'm Rob in South Wales.

You might not see it yourself because you see yourself every day but others notice. I ran into friends I hadn't seen for months on the weekend and they saw the difference. Also you notice things like clothes becoming looser but it's hard to visually track these changes because it's so gradual;

They're the two greatest muscle stimulating exercises in existence. And I don't have a problem with doing them the same day (though I'm on a fullbody routine right now anyway so don't get much choice). As far as squat depth, if you're doing highbar squats by all means go *kitten* to grass if you're doing low bar squats…

Yep, South Wales here.

There's no way to actively spot reduce fat in an individual area, it can only be done by reducing overall fat in the body. However, I'm going to contradict myself here by saying that by exercising muscles such as your lats and serratus you may find that this causes an increased bloodflow to the area which makes it easier…

No probs. If you're lifting weights I find it best to focus on what you're doing. Learn how your muscle works through the movement (and make sure you're using proper form on the exercise, if you're not sure of this then Youtube has lots of form guides for most exercises) and get to understand how it responds. By going slow…

It depends. At the 15th rep are your muscles fatigued to the point you can't do any more? If not you may be using a lighter weight than you need. Once you go above half a dozen reps the most important thing is how does the muscle being worked feel. Does it burn? Are you able to push out another rep? Does the muscle ache a…

And she would probably need to artificially supplement with steroids to get the required anabolic growth to get a bulky more androgenic look . Women genetically just aren't designed to develop muscle mass like men without resorting to Steroids, heck even for men it's difficult to get a really large and cut physique unless…

Is the pain in your muscle bellies or in the joints/tendons? The first is good and you will notice it less over time, the second not so much. Be careful when you exercise with weights to use proper form. If you don't know what the proper form for the exercises you're doing are then I would recommend checking it on youtube.…

I was thinking about trying the Dorian Yates plan but have already been doing a Mike Mentzer style HIT plan (albeit with a little hiigher frequency than Mentzer would advocate as I don't feel like I need to take 4-7 days between workouts just yet) and in reality they're very similar. I trained using more high volume in my…

The first time's always the worst. But I've found taking an icebath soon after helps. Also a friend recommended to me I take some BCAA's. Most vital though is rest. Make sure you get some quality sleep. That's your body's cue to repair. But if you're working it hard there'll always be at least a little ache the next day.…

Yes, depending on your body type it can vary greatly. Ectomorphs (Generally extremely lean and skinny) have difficulty putting on large amounts of muscle, but they don't gain fat that easily either. Mesomorphs usually can put on a decent amount of muscle and providing they eat sensibly not get overly fat either. The last…

Yep, there's no magic cure. Reducing overall bodyfat is what's going to do it. Saying that, try googling Vacuum exercises. It'll help tighten up your core and pull everything in a little bit. And every little bit helps.
