Wide hurts my shoulders, so I do narrow. I personally don't think it matters so long as your shoulders are happy.

Some good info on building the pecs. I personally alternate flat with incline on chest days and don't bother with decline. On incline days, I also do dips because incline just doesn't seem to work my chest/triceps quite as hard as flat bench. However, I can't do as much weight on incline...

I'm recovering from bicep tendonities right now. I'm avoiding working the bicep in any way for another 1 1/2 weeks or so and am taking 2400 mg of Ibuprofen per day. My doc recommended at least two sets of light warm-ups to prevent tendonitis and he also mentioned that high weigh with very low...

At least three times for me unless I get something on them, but I don't do the commando thing.

I had a similar problem with one of my knees and ended up stopping all squats for about three weeks while waiting for it to heal. During this time I replaced the squats with leg presses. I'm not a fan of leg presses, but I figured it would be better than nothing because they didn't give my...

I buy about ten boxes of Kashi Go Lean at a time. Every morning I have a very large bowl of the stuff with 1% milk. I'd estimate that I put down 1/3 of a box per breakfast.

I'm a member of LTF, and I've always thought the gyms were very well equipped, clean, and well-maintained. I could care less about the PTs because I won't be using them any way.

When I'm on call at work, I'm required to have my cell phone with me, so I take it in with me for my work outs. I hate taking it though -- even in pocket, it's in the way and I have to take it out of my pocket and set it down for certain excercises. If I do get a call, I just step out of the...

In my opinion, they're not enough. I also do an excercise for my hamstrings and calves.

In my opinion, the Progresso soup is pretty good stuff and decent for you. Once in a while I'll go on a Progresso soup kick and have it for lunch every day for a couple of weeks. However, I eat pretty normal food at almost every meal and just keep my portion size in control. I also stay away...

Ick, that sounds gross, dude! I like Muscle Milk, but I probably won't be trying that combo any time soon. However, it sounds like a rather healthy and high proteion combo, so more power to ya'. :)

Are you pregnant? If so, then you should limit yourself to one serving per week. If not, then go nuts! I like tuna, but I can only tolerate it a couple of times per week, so I'm certainly not worried about getting poisoned by mercury. Tedster

I've been taking two or three scoops of muscle milk per day for the last couple of months and haven't had any issues putting on fat from it. I take it one scoop at a time, usually mid-morning, mid-afternoon and one before bed. In my opinion, it's the best tasting stuff out there. It's easier...

If I have to eat fast food, then usually I'll go to Wendy's and go for the grilled chicken breast sandwich and get chilli instead of fries and a side salad. My real weakness is for Taco Bell and I usually hit that about once per month, but I don't go crazy and I keep the portion size down. I...

Well, give it at least a couple of weeks before you make a permanent decision. It will probably take you a while to get used to the new sleeping routine. If you have at least one day per week when you can sleep in and catch up, I bet you can make it work. That's interesting on your CEE -- I...
