In the grand scheme of things a PWO meal doesn't add much, in the same way that one workout doens't add much either. But it's the sum of the small parts that contribute to the whole, if you get my drift. After you've worked out your body is crying out for nutrients and apparantly can process...

Download the excel file which allows you to input weights - it does all the calculations for you and you'll then be able to make sense of your questions. The excel file link is at the bottom of this page: http://www.geocities.com/elitemadcow1/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm

Whey as part of breakfeat and post workout. Casein before bed.

To the fornt for sure. I'd go as far as feels comfortable and natural. I go to about chin level.

I've been bulking for quite a while now and gone from 140lb to 175lb @ 5'9". Currently at 16% BF. I'd like to have a go at cutting, just to see what I can achieve and as a break from bulking. I've been doing plently of reading up and I think I've come up with a credible diet plan. I've...

Can I ask why not glucose? And what excatly is waxy maize and does anyone know of a UK equivalent?

Shoulders are a relatively small muscle group and they're going to get worked from other exercises like Bench and Rows. Working them directly more than once per week might be too much for them imo.

Same thing happened to me, it's almost like a burning sensation in your forearms, right?. The tendons that run through your forearms and into your hands (the one's that work your fingesr)are rubbing against the sheathes they run in. This causes them to be come inflamed and painful. This is...

A lot of the actors muscularity was down to clever makeup and lighting (their abs were airburshed to make them look more defined)

I've had what you're describing, the doctor said it was a simple muscle strain. I seem to get it if I go OTT with shrugs. Not a lot you can do really, just don't go mad with the weights or you'll aggrevate it further. Nothing to worry about IMO :)

For post workouts carbs get a box of glucose powder from Superdrug or Boots. It's costs about £1 and should last quite a few workouts. Have about 50g mixed in water after each workout.

I started doing military presses as part of my 5 x 5 and my shoulders have grown substantially, a great shoulder builder and quite rewarding. There's nothing like liftng a lot of weight above your head to make you feel good :)

My arms got bigger when I stopped doing isolation exercises on them and started concentrating on heavy benching, dips, rows, DLs and squats

No, fat and muscle are two completely seperate tissues types. You cannot turn one into the other in any way, shape or form. Which also expels the myth that muscle turns into fat as you get older
