Word, I feel like it would probably be similar to Nilgai meat (similar diet and activity level), in which its a bit harder to cook if you want to keep it fairly tender while preserving some taste, but the meat itself tasted GREAT! I threw a cookout and feed it to everyone and everyone was raving...

I do like 5-10 minutes of Dynamic Warmups, do my workout, then stretch afterwards... I'm cutting back on cardio because I'm bulking now, but I'll do a 30 minute jog once a week, and high intensity speed and agility training once a week

The Bill Starr program starts with a 4 week deload! You don't need to take any time off... if you are worried about your form, you could take a week of only using the bar to PERFECT them before going into the program, but coming from a BB routine going into 5x5 will feel like a cake walk for the...

I stress large compound lifts such as bench, squat and deads as to begin developing a more powerful core, then I work into more explosive lifts with younger clients and clients who can handle that type of lifting at more advanced ages, but usually with older clients I'll stay on compound lifts...

I like to pride myself on not being a typical trainer with my clients. I go for less of that "lets get that killer "pump" workout" approach and actually try to develop results in my clients. For example, I have one mid 50's 80% blind gentleman with whom I have on a variation of a 5x5 routine. I...

Many big guys in training don't actually have the expertise of some smaller guys (ie. myself at 200 pounds and about 10% bf would be considered a smaller guy for a trainer), but to the client who knows nothing about genetics, nothing about your medical past, etc. of course looks are going to be...

Since when has training the hell out of them really given them results though? Well I guess it depends on your clients, if they are fat and out of shape, then yah, a nice kick in the ass is a move in the right direction, but most of my clients are older wealthy gentlemen who are already in...

CEO, thanks man, that is some good stuff, yah I didn't realize how old this thread was, should have read it more diligently.

I'm guessing your 17... Don't do what I did when I was in high school and try to do body part specific days like the bodybuilders I read about... get on a good full body routine and put just as much emphasis on squats and deadlift as you have been on bench, learn the form and don't let your ego...

I think this is what has happened to me. I do full range of motion, I lean forward a little more than I probably should be, but I have the bar rested so low on my back that its still parallel to my hip, i.e. the load is still on the pivot point. I weight 190 and squat 285x5 (this past week on my...

Good advice! Yah that's what I was thinking with my transition, that's more thought than I had put into it yet, but those numbers look good, so I'll stick with that. And yah, that's what happened to me last summer. I came off my cutting diet, started to bulk, bloated WAY to quick and jumped...

Yes it is! And I notice you are female, please do not do what I see like 90% of the women at the gym I work at doing, which consists of running directly to the treadmill doing a light jog on it for 20-30 minutes, then getting on a bike for 15-20 minutes, then going and picking up some 5lb...

None?:dodgy:

Don't know Dylan at all, never posted for/against him in the past, from a purely theoretical opinion as a biochemist studying metabolisms, Dylan's advice seem sound. Sebaco, it seems as if Dylan is proposing a pretty sharp decrease in carbs as to cut (i.e. discarding rice and higher carb...
