I had the same problem, try loosening up your grip. I didn't realize how tight I was gripping the bar, it didn't take long for my arms to be pain free again.

Well, I've had it checked by 2 different people recently because the first one was from the PT I mentioned earlier and I really didn't know if I could trust it. Both tests were the skin fold test (I believe it's called) they pinched 3 or 4 different spots on my body with calipers to figure it...

I don't believe that there is a whole lot of muscle. I have a big frame to start with (6'4" 38" waist), size 15 foot, broad shoulders ;p I carry the weight well, or so I've been told. I'm not real soft and flabby, just big all over :mix: But, for my size...I think I am very weak, maybe my...

I tried to get some help from a PT at the gym I workout at, but I don't think I got very good advice. I am definitely no expert, but it didn't look very good at all to me. It had mostly isolation exercises in it, and all of them were 4 sets (15,12,10,8). It was also split with a chest/back...

Do you think 4 mornings a week is too much cardio; I planned on mostly doing them on the days that I wasn't going to be lifting? Also, if I did go with something in the 8 rep range...would it be ok to stick with the compound exercises and do full body workouts 3 times a week (M,W,F)? Bench 3 x...

Can anyone recommend a good weight lifting program to use while cutting? I am eating ~500 cals below maintenance and do cardio at least 4 mornings a week. I am looking for something that will help me hold on to as much muscle as I can while losing fat. Right now, I am around 300lbs @ 27% BF...

Thanks again for all the help! I will read through the article to help me out with the diet side and give the 5x5 program a shot for exercise.

Thanks for the info! So would doing the SF 5x5 program be ok while eating below maintance? Also, will doing cardio on the off days be too much? I am 6'4" 305lbs @ 27%bf. currently if it matters.

Is this book worth buying? I am looking for something to help me lay out a long term plan. I noticed this book is a 6 week program, but I was hoping it would help me out long term. Anyone have any experience with this book? Thanks in advance for the help!

Have any of you guys had any experience with HOT ROX, good or bad? Thanks.

My brother-n-law lost 95 lbs on Atkins and has kept it off for 2 years, so it does work. It's just like any other diet, you can't go back to eating whatever you want when you're done and expect the weight to stay off.
