Thanks...I took the sets down to 10-8-6 (except on abs/calves) and limited the burnouts to 3 sets. It is hard to add forced reps...especially when I don't have a training partner or a spotter. I could ask people in the gym, but that would get annoying for both them and me (every set???)...

Trying to bulk up...tell me what you think of this routine. Going to do it for 8 wks. A "burnout" (my version of it) is to do 8-10 reps and then lower the weight by one plate on the machine and go until no plates. Note all burnout exercises are performed on some kind of machine. Day...

Anyone have any funny drinking stories? Here's one of mine that is short and sweet. I was wondering around drunk on a nameless college campus and I passed out in a ditch. The next day someone said I smelled like piss, and that I pissed my pants. I replied, "Well, that makes sense, because I...

I am going to be studying in Adelaide. Anyone been there? I am curious as to what it is like.

huh? So is it easy or hard to get gear there?? From Bull it sounds like it is a cakewalk (a Golden Palace of AS), but from BISONE it sounds like a bitch. So, which is it?

Thanks for the reply. I am learning the ropes of the boards so to speak. Next time I will try a search!

I am probably going to spend my next semester studying abroad in Australia. Is gear any easier to come by there? Any Aussies on the board? Maybe I should start my first cycle while I am there. Just a thought.

Wish list I think there should be an internet site where you can enter the amount of protein/fat/carbs you want in a meal and then it suggests one and provides a recipe. But that's just me.

OK, a long time ago (maybe 5-6 months?) I was fooled into buying that stupid Anotesten, Nortesten, AcetobolanII from MuscleTech(ugg). I still have the bottles sitting in my closet...unopened. Is it even worth trying this 8-week cycle? Anyone have success stories? Also, what about that...

When bulking, is an hour of cardio in the morning of workout days a good thing? I have been bulking and while I have my top 4 abs, my bottom two are disappearing. While riding the bus I can feel a jiggle...feels nasty. I'm in college and it's damn hard not to drink...I drink 3 nights a week...

Well, Toshendin (sp?), I would suggest getting to a bookstore and picking up a book about bodybuilding/fitness/exercising. These books often contain pictures, diagrams, and descriptions of a ton of exercises. My second point will be to look into your diet. I have no idea what you are...

How about.... Say I work out for about 1 hour 4 times and do 1 hour of cardio on workout days (i.e. also 4 times a week) while bulking. Does this change anything?

I understand the whole deal about how much of which nutrient to intake, but the problem comes in when you have to start counting the cals/grams of carbs, protein, and fat in each meal. Anyone know any good resources for figuring out the content of a type of food? Also, it seems to me like you...

Ok, I have already posted this as a new thread, but seeing as this one also pertains.. I have a problem with my calves like the person who started this thread. Anyone know any good exercises/routines that will really blast 'em?

Ok bros...I need a little help here. I seem to have a genetic predisposition to having small calves that won't grow. Does anyone know any good exercises or routines that will blast my calves?
