Yea bro i'd say try some extensions since your already doing squats, etc... When I do them I do a warmup set, then 3-4 sets of your working weight. When using the working weight, I always pause at the top and hold it for 4-5 seconds, really squeeze, and then SLOWLY go back down... This always...

Thanks saibota, any person can always use some information from charles poloquin.. I'll be putting these 8 tips to use on monday and let you bro's know how it goes with pics, measurements, etc... As for the OP, good luck! There are some great bro's and alot of information here on ef... peace.

Its funny bro because i was just about to post something like this regarding myself... Alot of it has to do with genetics. I have long legs from the knee down to the foot and, shitty enough, my calves are placed at the very top. So there is alot of 'extra' length starting under my calf...

I believe he's talking about 500mg/wk bro..

Hey how did you like the lipoflame?? 2 weeks is kinda short, but did ya notice anything?

Im not necessarily interested in the fact if they are super accurate or not (don't really need to know anyways, i'm not gonna be an elite athlete) but rather im just looking for a way that will show ME progress that i am making that has little variation from each reading... I just want it to...

I plan on starting carb cycling today, monday, for accelerated fat loss as stated in Burn the fat, feed the muscle.. Mon and Tue will be around 150 grams carbs, wednesday 50-75g carbs, and the fourth day Thur will be a refeed at about 300 carbs.... Of course all my carbs will be good ones...

I just went out and bought digital scales... Tonight I cooked top round steak.. BEFORE i put it on the grill 7.75 ounces, and after it was 5.75 ounces.. There was a 2 ounce discrepancy... So when do you measure your food?? And when should i measure and put it in to fitday, before or after...

Also, Set goals for yourself.. If you don't have SPECIFIC, exact goals then what are you working for.. And you need to be able to measure these goals.. Set goals for: 1) ultimate long-term goal 2) One-year goal 3) 90- day goals (which are most important because you can definitely see change...

I was thinking about picking up one of these. I heard they are better for people that have higher body fat % (i'm around 25%) because the accu-measure, which i currently own, gets to be less reliable as the BF % goes up. I don't really care about the exact percentage of body fat that I have...

If your main goal is to burn fat, then I would recommend the E-book Burn the fat, feed the muscle... Its such an outstanding book that breaks down every single aspect you need to know... The book is 370 pages and it comes with all these other deals, but its pretty unbelievable book..

would the 5x5 be considered vigorous weightlifting or light effort weight lifting?

I'm fucking burnt out of chicken, plain and simple.. I just started another run at the 5x5 and mainly just trying to get strong as shit, so i know food and proper diet are the building blocks.. So please give me some other suggestions for big dishes of protein.. I was thinking extra lean...

Whats even better to use than maximum heart rate, or percieved effort is training using your lactate threshold levels. Once you know what your LT is, then you can base your heart rate training off of that. Look up Joe Friel's "Total Heart Rate Training" book. It'll let you know whats up

Honestly bro, IMO (and w/o knowing your portion sizes of each meal), It looks like you are getting too FEW calories.. Take a look at this 'guide' and thank Tatyana for posting it (i'm just copy and pasting it)::: "" NEVER DROP YOUR CALORIES BELOW THIS LEVEL!!!!! To figure out how many...
