Chop off a leg

Just a general idea here: 1. Superset dips with pullups, varying grip on both 2. Superset some sort of chest press with some sort of row, again varying grip 3. Superset some sort of leg press (sqaut, lunge, press machine etc) with some sort of deadlift. Throw in some shoulders on days one or...

I dont take zma specifically but i use zinc and magnesium supplements. I get nauseas if i take them on an empty stomach so ive never tried it like that and have noticed slight benefits from taking them with food.

I second what evan said about overtraining - your body can handle and adapt to more than most people give it credit for. As far as the diet, make sure youre drinking plenty of water too. Muscle requires quite a bit. Also the more food you eat the more water you need as you'll inevitably be...

10-20 for me. While we're on the subject of shrugs...any commonly accepted convention as to what constitutes a full ROM? And is there any effect in how you have your head positioned while doing these? Looking down vs looking forward vs looking up?

Had a similar pain awhile back and didnt back off my training at all. It developed in to a major issue where i couldnt do any lower body exercises involving the glute without pretty severe pain - like being stabbed in the ass. Took 18 months to heal and i still feel it every time i work legs...

I started about 6 months ago to train like this. I maintain a split as to which muscle groups i want to work but i pretty much just do what i want as i feel like it. I feel like it keeps more more active...less time between sets for example. Ive def seen improvements as well. In that time bench...

450x3 was the most ive ever done. 445x3 with only 25s on the bar more recently. 170lbs

Sorry but Dog the Bounty Hunter is still being aired...you cant dethrone the Dog of worst TV show.

Not sure on a dosage. I think it would depend on lot of factors. But b vits are water soluble so dont worry too much about overdosing on them...you'll just pee the extra out. For example, one of those 5 hour energy extra strength shots has 83 days (8300% dv) worth of b12 and the fda allows them...

Go to GNC during gold card week and ask to clear them out of their soon expiring protein bars. I often do this and usually bring home 70+ bars for $35ish...HUGE discounts. Just beware the ones with high sugar alcohol content - unless you love frequent explosive trips to the bathroom (yea i...

Legumes were mentioned above but i swear by peanut butter. By the spoonful. In my protein shakes. On my morning toast. Even in scrambled eggs. Etc...

I have a full day dedicated to deads. 6-10 sets along with some trap and forearm work. But i def consider them glute/hamstring.

I have to disagree with this. Although this is the convention used by many i think this will actually lead to injury as your strength in that particular ROM increases, creating an imbalance of strength along your natural ROM. I suggest going as far down as your body is comfortable with even if...
