I bike. Outdoors only. The best.

If you are truly concerned with your carb. intake and you would like an alternative to the ephadrine, try a coffee or tea. I did train for about two years early in the morning and had no trouble with energy; however, many of the people I trained with brought in what looked like super-big-gulps...

For lagging bodyparts I usually hit them more frequently. For example, my calves were slacking only being trained once a week. I upped to three days a week and have since seen great results. However, muscles like abs, forearms and calves you can get away with training more than once a week...

You may be doing too much cardio. What is your diet like? The only way to gain weight, muscle or fat, is to consume more cals. than you burn.

Two words bro: pause press. Do two sets prior to your regular routine; it will really improve your squat.

When deciding to train a given bodypart twice a week, you should take into account the recruitment of that bodypart during other lifts. For example: your bi's on back back day. If you are focussing on bi's twice a week, you may be overtraining due to the recruitment of your bi's during your...

Bro, skullchrushers are great for triceps; however, you may experience pain in your shoulder or even at the back of the elbow at the bottom of your triceps. The pain in the elbow is usually caused by too much weight; the pain you are experiencing, I believe, is to do your grip. When I do them...

I know you can do some sort of training through the mail. Also, you might want to check you local community college for a certification program. That would be better than the mail.

Curling: It can be very easy. About three years ago I was squatting 315 three sets of 10 reps. On my warm up set with 185, I went down too fast and my right knee popped. Extremely light weight, I just didn't think I could get hurt. Now, I go real slow with squats. I don't go so heavy (I'm...

You guys make some really good points. I personally go to failure only on the last set of my compound lifts such as bench press. However, an alternative to using inconsistent spotters that I incorporate into my routines every once in while is to rack the weight, rest for 10-15 seconds, then...

Congrads on the squats bro. Excellent lift if down properly. To answer your question about parelell, that again is up to you. For example, I'm 6'1 and I don't go parelell unless I'm using very light weights. I have a buddy who is like 5'4 and touches his ass on the floor. So, just go as...

I'm getting my first cycle together now, very excited. I have been lifting for 6 years; I'm 21 now. I'm almost certain that I have reached my genetic potential; gains have been extremely slow the past year; it's hard to maintain motivation.

Bro, you're more ignorant than you know. Stick around and do your own research, then ask questions.

If you split your routine up properly, you will end up working your muscles more than once a week anyways. For example: If I do chest on Mon., I recruit my triceps in all the chest lifts; it's inevitable. Then, tri's and bi's on wed.; you recruit your chest when doing many tri lifts. Same...
