JEFIT just came out for the Iphone today. I have been using it on android for awhile, but it just means I have been having to keep my old android phone around. This programs is AWESOME, which I combine with myfittness pal for tracking my intake.

I add the oil to get a few extra good fats. I switched to cocunut oil last fall and had a dramatic drop in my bad colesterol. only the one weight gainer shake is the 650, that is my pre-lunch. I usually down the chicken sometime within the next hour of the shake. If I can remember, I will...

maybe I will switch off incline seated and preacher for every other workout. I just barely added the incline seated and loved it. I was wondering about doing squats day after deadlift. I wondered if I was giving my CNS enough time to recover, it felt like I was rushing it. I guess I could...

Thanks for the responses guys and I have taken some advice as well a just personal knowledge. I believe it has been a combination of too many variables all at once. current stats 178 ~15-16% BF 5'11" My diet up until 2 months ago was 3000-3500 cal a day. I then dropped it to 2800-3000 a day...

Well, over a month has gone by and there really has been very little improvement. I am having a hard time lifting the bar from the chest. Once I get half way the rest becomes easy(due to bowflex no doubt). My diet is good, my sleep has been ok, and I have had 10-30% increase in pretty much...

I am in the same boat. Back has gone up 30% in the past 3 months, but chest is pretty stagnent. Once I can get the bar off the chest, I have no problem getting to lockout, it is the initial push that is just killing me. Anyone have any advice on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Funny you should say that. After some hard thinking about this(I am not a newbie, just coming back from a 10+ year vacation) I have already modified my entire routine to reduce the amount of isolation workouts and increase the intensity on the compounds. I will say that my isolations are very...

just want to know if there is a paticular isolation lift I can do to improve whatever it is. If not, I will just be patient, only been hitting the actual bench for 3 weeks now over bowflex. We switch off between incline/decline, we don't do both of them on the same day. Workout goes: Flat...

So I got a slight problem, and I am unsure how to solve it, and it could be I just need to get used to the range. I have been training on a bowflex for the last 5 months and decided I needed to get to the gym to really push myself further, and besides, the bowflex was causing shoulder...

After doing a little extra searching on this forum, I think I have found that I have a chronic rhomboid injury, that may or may not be caused by the herniation. Seriously, why can't all these doctors that I have been to tell me that. I have been thinking for the past few days that I would...

First a little background for anyone who wants to bear some reading: So I have herniated disk in between c5-c6. Don't know how, don't know when. I started lifting when I was 19 and lifted pretty hard for 2 years and had great results. I then stopped cold turkey and got a desk job. I have...

aesthetics, as in looking ripped? That is something I was known for, not necessarily big. I had good balance in overall muscle growth, and definition was a quality I strived for. I had incredibly low body fat, and had kind of the bruce lee look going on, but not quite that extreme. Thanks...

I just never felt like I could hit it hard enough with just main lifts, and I did the isolations for the extra BURN sensation. I didn't separate out arms more that just a few times as an experiment, it was mainly Back/Bicep, Bench/Triceps twice a week with some smaller muscle groups thrown in...

I used to have a workout schedule that would usually work on 3 - 4 major lifts for the muscle group. In addition to these lifts, I would also add 3-4 isolation lifts in order to try to work out every part of the muscle group I could. This process usually took 1 1/2 hours, and depending on the...
