If you're an under 30 year old ectomorph, if it fits in your mouth, eat it. If you're not, what fortunateson said makes a lot of sense.

It has to do with your recovery. If you are new to Squats & Deadlifts, do them frequently. You will get used to them and make steady progress. When you can't make steady progress, you need to break it up, Heavy, Light, Medium. You probably need to do that now with bench. This is not rocket...

Long distance is good and short distance is good but there is not substitute for specificity. If you want to get good at 2 miles, run 2 miles more often.

A single slice has 61% protein and 33% carbs (sugar). It is high in sodium which may cause problems for you. Otherwise, I would treat this as you would skim milk. Stu

Dextrose is corn sugar. You can buy it by the pound at your local home brew store.

Right now, where you're not really training very hard, (you can't be if you don't squat), you can train every day. You won't make any progress but you can do it. Once you add some real intensity you will need to take some time off. Try adding legs in day 3 and take day 4 off, then start your...

Right, and if you want to go heavy/light, you could swap the 2 workouts back and forth. You probably don't want to go heavy on Saturday if you have a game on Sunday. You arms will get enough workout from the presses and pulls.

A lot of time, the information given on the package is insufficient to make an intellegent decision anyway. Take for example, saturated fats. There are many types of saturated fats. Some are actually healthy (like steric acid in coconut oil). Polyunsaturated fats, also called essential fatty...

Twice a week is enough. Try a heavy (say 5x5) full body workout on Thursday and a lighter (say 3x10) workout on Saturday. You could divide it up like, back squats and RDLs on Thurs ad deads and front squats on Sat. You could also divide the upper body with say bench and rows on Thurs, Dips...

Keep doing Bench press at least twice a week and try to put the weight up each time. Do 3 sets of 5 reps.

How long have you been doing the bench press and what kind of progress have you made? What hand width are you using?

He didn't say 50 lbs of lean in 5 months, he said "you'll be 200lbs in 5 months". You're right it will probably be 10lbs of muscle and it will probably be 37lbs of fat. The numbers are as follows. 153# pers working out regularly probably needs 3000 cal for maintenance. 4000 cal surplus is...

Phentermine is an appetite suppresent. Most overweight people are that way due to lack of exercise and eating too much of the wrong foods. Usually correcting diet and training will correct the overweight problem. 40 lbs in 6 months is achievable for a motivated person without drugs but as...

Read Dr. Squat's zig-zag diet. It's much like your option 2. http://drsquat.com/articles/zigzag.html Stu

That's called shoplifting.
