HIIT (running, eliptical) 3x week, 1 or 2x week low volume compound lift based training without going to failure. Eat clean & lower your cals by 500 a day from your normal intake. That's it. If you do this correctly for 6-8 weeks you should be able to lose around 5% BF easy.

The one you can stick to whilst giving 100% effort Really, any program is 100% better than none, and I'd say without hesitation you will get 80% of any benefit there is to be gotten from lifting with any (decent) program you can adhere to for long enough if you are eating correctly. The only...

Hi - what kind of fabric softener do you have to use when you lift weights? Cause I think I'm doing smth wrong... Since I started working out again (‘bout three months ago) I have noticed that slowly, but surely, ALL of my t-shirts and shirts are starting to shrink(!) and basically just not fit...

Do you have long arms? I have the same issue - heavy low rep rows just tire out my arms before my upper back really gets any benefit. Longer arms can make 'feeling' the back excercises more difficult in my experience, that's why I tend to use DB rows while lying face down on a low incline bench...

My bloods came back and natty test is on the low side, with plenty of estradiol floating around my system (I'm 33 now and suppose it's normal that T is not as high as 5-6 years ago... but it bugs me and I feel I'm not getting the most out of my training) I'm gonna nuke some of my E and increase...

What Zazen said. Make sure to add rows and chin/pull ups in there too. Just don't go doing a combo of cleans, rows and chin ups on deadlift days, they impede each other and will inevitably suck :D

Throw out the leg extensions, ditto the leg press. Squat & Deadlift. Use less press occasionally to mix it up.

Glad you are seeing results. Hate to be a spoil-sport, bu this doesn't sound like HIIT though :) Real HIIT for 16 mins if you've never done it before is nigh impossible. Going MAX out for 30sec followed by a 60sec 'rest', then rinse & repeat... no HIIT beginner can manage that for a full 15...

Look up HIIT, try it but start slow. 2 times a week is plenty if you're trying to gain muscle. Stay away from slow cardio when bulking. A bit of fat gain during a real bulk is normal, but if you really are gaining too much of the soft stuff then you're probably overeating or not eating clean...

Posted 13-Feb-2014, 03:03 PM #10 cunninglinguist Pro's: - Easy on HPTA. Yes, I got shutdown with minor ball-shrinkage, but it was mild shutdown and PCT with over the counter test boosters and perfect diet did me fine. I was up and running after 3 weeks. I seriously doubt nolva or HCG is a...

A+ :biggrin:

I use Dymatize's "Elite Whey Protein Isolate", which is mostly Ion-exchange whey - but lists 'Cross flow ultra filtration concentrate' as it's second protein ingredient... Does this even exist?? I thought "cross flow micro/ultra filtration" techniques always yielded whey ISOLATES, not...

Anyone else ever have this issue? Every morning after working out (between 5pm and 6pm the eve before) I seem to wake up after 6-7 hours of sleep rather than the 8 hours (I think?) I need... on non lifting days I seem to sleep longer :sleep2: Can this be due to overtraining? Or some other CNS...

However you take it, my advice is not to take your last dose too soon before sleep, Var really messes with my sleep cycle. So much I always needed to take some sleep-aid with it. Any Var dose later than 1pm and I couldn't sleep properly (even if only turning in at midnight)

What, like get the little general to raise the sheets in the morning..?? :biggrin:
