I was curious if anyone who has competed before would be able to describe the kind of dieting they have done before. I have consistently had about 11-13% bodyfat and have wondered what kind of training and nutrition is required precontest to get down to 6-% bodyfat. Thanks, Cajun Bob

The chicken breasts you buy at Sams Club in mass quantities are 6oz each with the following stats: 170 calories 34 g protein 00 g carbs 3.5 g fat Double all the numbers above and you should have a typical low fat chicken breast. Hope this helps, Cajun Bob

Hi all, Just curious what you all think is some of the better protein bars out there for when you are at work and things are busy and you dont have time for a meal? I am looking for a protein bar with at least 30 grams of protein and a decent amount of carbs too. Let me know! Thanks, Cajun Bob

Hi there. I am relatively new to bodybuilding. I have heard many people talk about cycling carbs. For example over the course of 7 days, someone might eat 100 carbs, 140 carbs, 180 carbs, 100 carbs, 140 carbs, 180 carbs, and on the last splurge day they will eat 400 carbs. Then they will...

What things do you pay attention to or concentrate on when you are curling a dumbbell for a bicep workout? *Do you have to make sure your upper arm doesn't move at all? *How do you know when a weight is too much? *Do you always hold at the top and squeeze for a contraction? *Is the movement...

I know this is a generalization, but is it true that most tall guys (i.e. 5'10" or taller) with thin bones and thin muscles need more time to recover? I am the classic Ectomorph. 5'11" with very thin muscles and bone structure. I have made decent gains at the gym over the past 1.5 years but I...

I had a teacher who had massive legs and did not work out. But then again he ran across the United States twice, and Roller Skated across the United States once. I think working out would be the more realistic method :) Cajun Bob

I agree with the rest of the posts. . .take a week off. I actually have had a similar experience, and just went back to the gym tonight after 8 days off. Let me tell you my experience. . . When I first started working out about 1.5 years ago, I used Arnold's Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding as a...

Well, I have asked the question about what to eat during bulking cycles, and you have all been very helpful. My next question is when do you all decide to bulk, how long do you bulk for, and when do you stop bulking? So in no particular order. . . *How do you decide when to start a bulking...

Hey all. I was looking for some good advice on bulking up and was hoping I could give you my stats and get some advice. So here goes nothing. . . I started lifting weights 3-5x per week about 7 months ago. My workouts consist of about an hour of lifting followed by 15 minutes of cardio. I...

Heya all. I was wondering what your thoughts are on the EAS Myoplex protein packets that come in packs of 42 and have 40g of protein each. I drink three protein shakes a day to keep my protein intake high. My first two shakes consist of a scoop of Optimum Nutrition 100% whey, 8oz of milk, tbs...

Hi all. I am new to this board and wanted some opinions on my current diet. To give a little background, I am 5'10, 167 lbs. I started working out about 8 months ago and at the time weighed 150 lbs. When I started I had 8% bodyfat according to the fitness consultant that took measurements...
