O.K. my 2cents: Gains in size, shape, composition, or whatever-in my mind, ARE difficult to see. Why? Because we look at ourselves in the mirror every day. It's like watching the hands on a clock. They never actually move enough to percieve movement and you keep waiting to see that movement...

It's a congenital thing that progressively gets worse through life. Short of having serious, and incredibly expensive surgery, I have to live with it. It starts at my sacrum and ends at L5 (the last vertebrae and the sacrum itself). The two are not aligned properly, and never will be. As a...

One of the things that has worked for me has been adding the static hold & slow drop to the end of my 5X5 chest day on the incline bench. YOU MUST HAVE A SPOTTER FOR THIS!!!! I take my last rep on my 5th set and hold it (arms UN locked) til it starts to slowly drop. Once it gets to about 6"...

While I'm already doing the dumbell rows (bent over while supported by an arm and knee), and WGPUs (will reversing the grip really hit the upper mid back that much?), I don't think I can attempt even light good mornings. As well, arent rev. hypers targeting the spinus erectus muscle rather than...

I was wondering if anyone out there could make some suggestions regarding adding some back thickness. Obvious answers are deadlifts, t-bars, and similar versions of these. However, my problem is that I have some serious lower back problems that prevent me from doing deadlifts or anything...

As far as myoplex/mrp goes, if you're going to use it, mix it with water instead of milk if your trying to get cut. It tastes worse than milk but you'll get used to it. As far as price goes myoplex is a rip-off! Here in Canada we pay about 70-80 bucks for a box (sometimes 60 if you can find...

Never done much squats (bad back) and I have calves that apparantly "rock" according to many folks (either that or they're just trying to borrow money...) I will say that running on my toes helped alot growing up. I have short legs but can sprint like nobody's business. Basically cause I run...

double bump

While I like the original idea of this thread...I just don't understand what the subject line says. I'm tired of people just punching a bunch of nonsense letters into the subject line! I.e. jfkd lsdjkkd odfjs can't djf;al ;lkjdo dkjsl Get what I mean?

YES!!!!!!!! 5X5 Rocks!! I was in the gym yesterday doing military shoulder presses on the smith with my max weight (working set) ever when this "beast" who's been in there often starts up a conversation with me. During our conversation, I hear this guy has been into body building heavy for...

Wow! Nice size for a guy with your sig. Good luck to ya! Just like to say that your advice on this board has been/and is instrumental in my success to reaching my goals (non-competetive) and likely for numerous others as well! It's always good to get advice from someone who's...

O.K. Here goes...alot of you will think this tastes like shit I'm sure: 5 eggs (2 yolks only) 1/8 cup oatmeal 1/2 cup DRY cottage cheese (21 g protien) 3 tablespoons Hemp seed hearts (protien, omegas, etc.!!) scramble the shit out of em and chow down. Mega protien blast with lots of EFAs...

Second that! Pull-ups beat, hands down, anything out there. When you actually pass out while your "up" and fall crashing to the floor on you ass, then you know you've hit failure!

Louden, I don't think in my case it would be related to either. I don't overdo it with potassium, nor with water. My levels are not excessive. It's like my electrical system short ciruted or something and it just wont stop (it's doing it now...still!) I've tried warm compress, ice...

O.K. So I don't actually puke from exertion anymore but here's a new one. I was pushing my PR for legs last week and of course your at that stage where it's like your looking through a kaliedascope, when my left eye lid starts to twitch mid-set. Fine whatever. Sometimes you get sewing...
