Rest days do suck. My program now is one day on, one off, so I get lots of rest days. But I can feel how tight my muscles are from the day before all the time on this program, which makes me want to go use them :) Even if I could just run across the street and do a max deadlift I'd feel better...

I totally agree. Cardio is not going to help you lose fat if your diet is shit. Doing low intensity cardio helps burn fat though, I believe 60% of MHR is the target heart rate. I mean come on, if you don't burn fat while doing cardio, how come runners are so damn thin and ripped? It burns...

I did for a while, seemed to work ok. I had to stop when I went on CKD because it has HCA, which can knock you out of ketosis. It has the same stuff as every fat burner out there (HCA, ephedrine, caffiene, white willow). I stacked it with pure ephedrine as well. Give it a try. It's better than...

Ok, I just wasn't sure. You know how fiber is a carb but isn't included in total calories because it passes right through you? Same with some of the carbs found in protein bars? I thought that this may have been one of those situations. I'm drinking 6L of water a day PLUS solutions (Cell Tech...

Hey all. On training days, I try and take in 320g of carbs a day. On non training, 270. I take Muscletech's Cell Tech, which has 38g of carbs per scoop. Right now I'm on a loading stage, so 152g of carbs comes from this stuff. Do I count this towards my overall carb intake? This might sound...

I suppose. I don't get embarassed by my numbers usually, even if my upper body is a little low at times. There are a lot of guys at my gym who are a lot stronger, and those who are weaker, but they are there to get in shape and they are trying and making progress, and that's what matters. I...

Well I can't really prove my numbers as I have no vids :) but I can say I've been deadlifting and squatting for years, and it took me a long time to get to those numbers. Hoping to get to a 500 dead and 405 squat by the end of this year. And would someone lie about a 215 bench? :) -Diabolik

I use over / under, then under / over, repeat. I never use straps, the only assist I use is chalk, so over over I would drop the weight for sure. 365 is hard to barehand, but damn it works the forearms ;) -Diabolik

Max: Bench: 215 Deadlift: 405 Squat: 365 Hmmm. Think I need to work more upper body :) -Diabolik

I am also considering a 5x5, I got some info from needsize on this. I really like it. Actually the one I want to use is needsize's. However, I have a few questions: Needsize, feel free to help me :) 1) At what speed do you do the reps on a 5x5? on the 2x8's? Is it a fairly slow pace? 2)...

Hey guys, I'm kind of new here and I am looking to gain strength and power with minimal fat gain (everyone's goal). Apparently HIT is a good way to do it. 5x5 seems popular too :) After doing some searching, I found a program that looks pretty good. Plz tell me what u think. Day 1: Deadlift...
