I have started a new workout in which I try to incorporate a lot of the mass building compound movements. I have broken it down to 4 groups where I would go: Group 1/OFF/Group2/Off....repeat. So I lift every other day and on the off days maybe do some cardio, abs, or work a minor part such as...

I found an interesting website for hardgainers. You may have already seen it, but for those of you who haven't: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/body-building/hardgainer-faq/

Anybody try this?:http://uk.y42.photos.yahoo.com/bc/ginkgo2k1. I started it today because my bench sucks. We'll see

Thanks Almighty. I know what you're talking about. So I don't raise it over my head like a press, just to neck level then back down. Gotcha. Thanks again. What muscles is it supposed to work?

Can someone explain what a power clean/jerk is? I posted on Powerlifting board but nobody answers. Thank you very much

Thanks. 6 was just an example. I plan on doing/ week: Shoulders -7 sets Chest: 8 sets Back: 7 sets BIS: 6 sets TRIS: 7 sets TRAPS: 5 and so on. I think I was just concerned that 1 set per exercise wasn't enough so was it OK to do 1 set if you do more exercises. Thanks for the reply.

Heres the deal. I go to the gym with the intention of doing say 3 exercises with 2 sets each. 6 total sets. My problem is I always end up doing more because I think of other exercises I want to do. Then I end up overdoing it. So my solution is the following: Instead of 2 sets, 3 exercises...

The diet is too strict I think. Plenty of protein but not much carbs or fat. In fact, I take in more grams of Protein each day than Carbs and Fat combined. I just bought a powder supplement that's very high in carbs to mix with my protein for a postworkout shake. I hope that will help a...

Thanks for the reply. You're probably right. How about this. On Fri I ditch the shoulders and put in Quads and Calves instead. So Fri is : Quads, Calves, Back, Traps. That way my shoulders have a rest from Thurs - Mon. I can't do Hamstrings. no matter how much I stretch or how little...

Hello all. I have been doing an HIT workout for about a month. I feel much stronger but I don't look much different (in fact a little smaller). Anyway, I'm thinking of doing the following: MON and Thurs: Chest, Tris, Bis TUES and Fri: Shoulders, Back, Traps Sat or Sun just abs and maybe some...

I know when I feel drained it has to do with lack of sleep or lack of food. Both are as important if not more than the lifting itself in my view

What are you eating??

Here's a pointless but interesting questions. What is you worst (most catabolic habbit -drink, smoke, eat fatty crap, etc.) towards your training? I know this is terrible for you but mine is smokeless tobacco. I can't shake it

I'm not a powerlifter but I occasionally do deadlifts. I think I do Sumo style (arms are between legs, legs are spread wide). Is this form OK and effective? I can't do the traditional form because I always feel a pull by my nuts.

I forgot to mention that I do Sumo style (arms are between legs rather that outside of legs). Does that matter???
