Surprised nobody has hated on you for this thread. First; your routine sucks. Bad. (no offense, just the truth) Go to the training vault and read about a 5x5 or something similar. I'd put my house down on a bet that you will be stronger and in better shape after doing a 5x5 for 6 months then...

Not at all.

Starting Strength This is a site that Bill Starr and Mark Rippetoe(two of the most well known and knowledgeable individuals in the physical fitness world) post articles all about training and working out. There are a handful of others, ie U of Penn's strength coach, professional power lifters...

read this people. The ridiculous amount of thoughtless bullshit ab talk in here would die down if everybody were to read this. Mark Rippetoe is a demi-God.

So I'm cutting and I'm at like 8% body fat and want to get to like 4-5% before I bulk. But at this level it is hard as hell to keep losing weight. Metabolism is down, energy is down, hunger is up etc So I'm trying to cut out the little snack things I tend to eat. IE sugar free 5 calorie per...

100% body fat. Just lose weight.

If you know so little about yourself to be asking which routine to do with such a drastic variation then you don't know how to program your own routine. At all. Figure out your goals, clearly state them and go to the training vault sticky and find a routine that caters to your goals. If you...

You realize how much work a sprinter, gymnast, wrestler etc does? They live in the gym and working out. It's their careers and/or only hobby. If you go tot he gym 3/4 days a week then do fucking squats and stop being lazy. If you have the dedication, time, work ethic to be a world class sprinter...

Rule one of physical training: If you aren't improving you aren't working hard enough. The answer is to ALWAYS harder. Not necessarily meaning more sets/reps etc. Sometimes working harder means going on Amazon.com and buying training literature and spending a weekend doing nothing but improving...

See a real doctor. Forums are full of horribly incorrect e-doctors.

If you get an iPhone get an iPhone 4. I have it and it truthfully isn't as much as a problem as people make it seem. I complain about it simply to spite Apple because I hate the company (lol 3000 dollars for the same computer components that Microsoft vendors charge 1200 dollars for.) But...

Re: How to suat for HUGE ARMS One of two things; 1. Altered perception of arms; The average gym goers arms are MUCH bigger then proportionally correct. 95% of gym members do more time on arms then on lower body combined, hence people think awkwardly big arms are normal and normal arms are...
