Up 9lbs with significant strength gains starting week 7 :) Will post full results on the main thread when I'm done.

Re: Bill Starr's 5 x 5 program... Variation per Madcow2 (thanx) So here it is! K up n Hey madcow/others, I am taking a weeks vacation the day after my final week 5 (deload) workout (I know I should have waited till I got back to start the program but this was unforseen) and was wondering how...

Definately the flax... milk before bed is a sure way to put on fat due to the high GI carbs.

Back: Pullups Chest: Low Incline Bench Shoulders: Push Press or strict OHP (can't really decide) Arms: BB Curls and skullcrushers Legs: Any squat variation. If I had to pick a favorite overall exercise, it would definately be the clean and press.

Usually midday during my lunch "hour" (more like 90mins in my case). There's no crowd (they all go in the morning or lat afternoon at my gym), it breaks up the work day and allows me to get 3 good meals in before I go.

Height = 6'1 Weight = 193 (<10% bf) Goal = Bulk up WO Day Cals = ~3300 Off Day Cals = ~3000 Just started bulking this week, so I'm going to increase the cals by 250 every week till I get up to 4300(WO) and 4000(non WO) cals.

Immediately after your cardio, have a shake consisting of dextrose, maltodextrin and some hydrolysed protien (WPI is OK if you don't have the hydrolysed stuff). About 30-45 mins after the shake, have your normal breakfast.

I have just finished running the DFHT program madcow is talking about for 2 months while on a cutting diet and am very pleased with the results. My bench, squat, DL and military press all went up considerably and I put some mass on as well while losing BF. I think if you run this program while...

I was about 136lbs at 6'1 when I started lifting about 7 years ago when I was 21 cause I was tired of looking like a broom stick. Got up to 215-220lbs at low BF in 5 years before a 2 year layoff. Started lifting seriously again this year at a FAT 207.

Standing OHP for me.

Definately do not stop lifting (where did you get the idea that you should stop?). You want to keep as much muscle as possible when cutting and lifting weights burns calories anyway. As others have said, diet is key.

DFHT = Dual Factory Hypertrophy Training. For more info, check out: http://www.readthecore.com/200501/reynolds-dual-factor-training-02.htm

Twice a week since I've been following DFHT progam.

The 5-8 rep range seems give the best size results for me.

Thanks for that... will have to try it. I don't normally eat cottage cheese cause I can't stand the taste.
