thanks

Joe, I am currently trying to gain some lean mass. I'm staying away from sugar, junk food, fast food, soda, etc. I haven't been very scientific in my approach though. I've just been keeping an eye on calorie intake (trying to take in roughly 3500 extra per week) and trying to make sure I eat...

ok, I'm trying to bulk right now. I'm usually pressed for time because of work, so I try to make meals quick and easy. This morning I decided to make my oatmeal a little different: 2 x tbsp of smuckers anpb 1 sliced banana 1 1/2 cup of oats w/ 2% milk. I also ate 4 eggs scrambled on the...

there's something about old men in their 60's and 70's that their bodies allow them to beat you at almost anything at least once. lol. I work in the oil field in east texas. there are some grizzled old men with beer belly's out here that can deliver the most crushing grip you could imagine. Not...

I just noticed my typo in the title- Charles Poliquin*

ok. I'm not allowed to cut and paste until I have 25 posts. So if it's not okay that I'm cut and pasting this entire article, let me know! I just think this is a really good read. Especially for someone who might have hit a plateau, or those that are bored with their current routine. It's hard...

When I was in the Army I used the pyramid routine (mentioned above) to increase the amount of push-ups I could do during a PT test. I would go to 10, then work my way down. Which I believe comes out to 110 push-ups. I couldn't finish it when I started out.... I think I got through 80 push-ups or...

I like this idea. thanks. I sometimes live on location for 2 or 3 weeks at a time. I'll use any downtime I have to grill/cook any food I can.

thanks. I'd be ten times happier if I could fill out my shirts, and the seat of my pants better... as well as lift heavier. I wouldn't mind if my abs would show... but it's a goal that's not at the top of my list. I just don't like the dumpy chub I have now. Gonna try to clean up my diet (some...

does it cater to all your caloric requirements? like... if you're trying to put ON a little weight?

thanks for the Advice everyone. Since I've been back in the gym I've been taking in a few more calories. Doing my best to keep it "clean". I haven't been doing much cardio at all. I was hoping that by bulking first I'd enjoy the cutting results more down the road. Thanks for the reassurance...

About two months ago I finally got back into the gym after being out for several years. I won't waste space with my reasons/excuses. I'm back, that's what matters. My predicament: With clothes on I look like an average tall skinny guy. Long lanky arms and legs. I'm 188lbs and 6'1". I can't pinch...

Thank you, sir. I'm at work- no way to watch tv out here right now!

i wouldn't mind owning either website for financial reasons. Also, I was a member here maybe 7 or 8 years ago (can't remember the old user and password)... there are quite a few different people. The vibe is a little different. Still lot's of good info though. What happened to Mr. X? Don't see...

you can pick up a brochure at subway that lists all the nutrition facts. The tuna sub is one of the worst because of how they make it. Your best bets are roasted chicken, chicken teryaki, turkey, on wheat. According to their facts, I seem to recall the pepper jack cheese being the lowest in...
