Increasing Vertical Jump
If you have ever trained to increase your vertical, what are your preferred exercises that you found to be most effective? 6 weeks ago I started a vertical training program (based around an iteration of Air Alert) and have been customizing it over that time period by excluding and adding different exercises. After some…

Advice on macro split while cutting
Just recently adjusted targets to 25% fats, 30% carbs, and 45% protein. ~2900 total daily intake. 6'6" male, fluctuating 224-228 lbs day to day. Aiming for 220ish. No idea what my BF% is. There doesn't seem to be much of a consensus online for an "optimal" split while cutting since it varies per person, per body type,…

Advice for the layer of fat around lower stomach

I'm a 6'6" ~235 lb male, would consider myself relatively thin but athletic in build. Roughly 6-8 months ago, with the general goal of getting to 250 lbs, I was eating whatever I wanted and paid…

Was up to about 245 lbs a few months ago but while getting…

Recommendations on healthy high-calorie foods?
I'm looking to up my calorie intake. I've just started the food tracking piece of myfitnesspal back-up and I'm sure I don't get anywhere near what I think I need to make the modest lean mass gains I'm looking for. My aim is roughly 3800 calories a day. I would appreciate any recommendations on healthy, easy-to-make or buy,…

Advice for Ectomorph Gains
I'm 6'6" and generally fluctuate between 219-222 lbs., lifting 4-5 times/wk averaging about 45 min. in duration each. Almost always a very short jog pre-workout to 'get the blood pumping'. Eating a fair amount but could likely force myself to have more: 3 solid meals and two smaller 'snacks' peppered in on a daily basis.…
