Follow the chocolate no-bake cookie diet - it is working wonders for my close grip bench. Front squats are going up too. Six pack? You trying to shop at Abercrombie & Bitch?

check gymjones.com - they actually trained the 300 actors. Couple of articles showing actors transformations.

Have to disagree with you to some extent on this one. More likely than not the target muscles (hams, quads) can end up being secondary targets. The lower back can be become the primary focus with form being the ultimate casualty of focusing on weight. Cheating on back squats is more prevalent...

Another concern is your rep-set scheme. 3 or 4 sets for 10-12 reps? What are your goals? Hypertrophy (possible)? Strength (highly unlikely)? What is your training age? (meaning the number of years you have been lifting consistently, not from DOB) I will let someone else partake in the...

Dude - you figured my summer plans out with your internet mind reading skillz. My diet cycle is Hydroxycuts (look what they did for Cutler at the Olimpia) and soy milk. Throw in some Tren so I can keep my pumps. I am SO driving to the mall before the gym tonite. ABERCRUMBIE ROCKS !1!!!

Good eye. On some of my singles I did bring them up a bit, not on the 5x5's at the end. The way I am running this program - I bench every 5th day. This was on Saturday (normal nite is Friday) - and did not have the same level of energy even though I went to bed early Friday and stayed real...

hike up the # of views on my last bench day posted on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHKSvG7t0gQ feel free to post comments. But leave any marriage proposals in your sick twisted psyche. mek

Link to yesterday's close grip bench workout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHKSvG7t0gQ Have not benched since January of this year. Switched to military press, dips, and assistance work in general for triceps and shoulders. Figured since I am eating way over maintenance calories - why not...

Dude, do I have to go over this again for your noob ass? It is concentration curls followed by straight bar cable curls supersetted with EZ bar 21's. All sets with your heaviest weight for high reps. Every day. Advanced bros can throw in some sets of curls in the rack for massive gunz. Pros...

Damn! Here I thought the pec deck was the key to big benchin'. Have to up my sets on cable curls to balance out my guns.

Kilt or shorts (pansy)? Figure I have to do front squats in my kilt facing the aerobics crowd in one of the cardio rooms....

Carlyle selling his wife down the river was priceless. He ran pretty fast for an English dude. Liked the foreshadowing of Paris being overrun.

Solid advice. Even a basic pair of wrist wraps from Dick's or Sport Authority will do the trick. Wrapping your wrists is on par with wearing a belt when squatting - except you are protecting a singular joint that is having the load focused on it solely. Personal experience has taught me to...

For sure - I do not want to get wide hips and that blocky look from free weights. Any pilates course recommendations?

Do not know about you - but I prefer the 365 bench vs. a 480+. Funny how there are no markers for cleans or snatches. Or shrugs.
