First of all not trying to be rude in anyway but that story was great entertainment this morning:) In reality as you can see in the above posts, not many can train in a packed full stomach. The bigger problem indicators as I see it though is the whole feeling like puking thing every morning...

A lot of accurate facts posted here, but...... while it may not be optimum for mass or maybe even strength, I sure don't think it is unhealthy to train on an empty stomach. And while I always eat before I lift, I know people who don't and train hard. Energy is generally better on and empty...

If this is your reason for a layoff you need to get your priorities strait. Just sayin.....

I think you got it down! And don't make fun of us "old" people. Some of hang pretty well LOL

What kind of training are you doing? Make all the difference in the world. When I was Bodybuilding (and young:) I only used a belt on real heavy squats and such. When I powerlifted and now strongman, I use the belt on all events because they are heavy. I don't use it much on assistance work...

Where you using double overhand grip? Not many can dead near their potential without a mixed grip. Double overhand is great if you can do it but that's pretty rare. You may have to do some grip work to strengthen your grip. I prefer farmers walk or holds but that is also because I do...

Overtraining is generally cause by frequency and lack of rest vs. duration of a workout. While two hours on really any body part is extreme, it doesn't hurt to break a muscle group down like that sometimes, just likely not every time. So much about your limits depents on variables. Age...

I agree with everyone posting on this thread! There is NO replacement for squats. I do realize that everyone is different and different bodies respond differently but I have been around this stuff for a bit. I have never met anyone with great leg developement that doesn't (or at least didn't)...

Sure any cardio will make it harder to put on size but it can also ad tone and cut. Depends on what you are looking for. Cardio is certainly good for your health! I would think hard swimming before your weight training would kill your weight training. I like the alternate day suggestion...

Low Carb Monster for me once a week for Strongman Events day. Never used to use stims but age is catching up! And the shit works....

My chiro got me working my neck specifically. I use a head harness that I can hang weights on. I stay light and work the back more then the front because that is the way I am imbalanced. Many lifters have the same issues. No matter you first need to get past the immediate problem. I have...

Everybody is different so it comes down to experimentation. Try one way for maybe a month and see how it goes. Myself, for many years I trained only in the evening. When I had the opportunity to train with some powerlifters in the morning I was really hesitant. What I found out is that my...

You would know if you had a full tear. Lifters get partial tears often and micro tears all the time. Most bad bicep tears start with some tedonitis. Probably ice for a few days and get it good and warm for a while when you train and you will be fine. "Probably" :)

Fits exactly what I am thinking. I am probably not explaning it well. Just look at the partials as assistance work. And bottom line it is bringing your bench up so keep it up:)

It should be worth trying wider for a while. Even drop the bar down lower on the back a bit. Basically a power squat vs a bodybuilding squat. If you are doing to compete or want to work on shape later, then go back to the legs closer together and high bar. Also squat to parallel every rep...
