DL, Squat and Bench Lift, Eat and Sleep That's really all there is to it. Make sure he's doing the lifts properly, eating enough and sleeping enough and the rest is just time.

I just tore another callous two days ago doing 125lb db rows. Forgot my gloves and my straps but that's no reason to puss out right? Riiiiiiip :o

That's the nice thing about doing a lot of weight, nobody looks at the bar and thinks it's being used by anyone they want to anger.

I think whoever told you that was saying to give those priority, which I agree with. In addition I'd also prioritize dips and pullups. That said there's nothing wrong with doing the curls, the calf raises etc. once you've done what you need to do on the big lifts. It's been mentioned already but...

GNC is probably the worst place to buy protein, at least that I am aware of. I couldn't believe their prices.

My chest routine is bench, db press, dips and flys. Of those I noticed the most difference after doing dips for a few months, my chest filled out and I did receive comments on it.

One thing that really helped me break through barriers on on squats was box squats. It's kind of a pain, yeah, but the results were worth it to me.

I am in a similar situation, my body doesn't seem to like bb bench but loves db bench. You say you're up to three plates, what do you do for the amount of reps on db press?

I tore my acl and dislocated my knee about three years ago and squats are one of my favorite things to do (along with deadlifts, dips and db press). As has been said they are key to developing the rest of your body. I have found that if you keep the fundamentals in mind (proper form, warm up...

I get the most satisfaction out of doing a good set of heavy deads with good form.

Echo what has been said, heavy bb and db press as well as dips and flys.

I have found that to be true, I was 350lbs at one point and now am 250ish and a fairly solid lifter with 19" calves. I will admit genetics plays a role in it but so does my workout; which is four sets of reps until I can't stand the burning with six plates on the calf raise machine twice a week...

Same here, but I alternate squats and deads on leg days since I started moving up in weight and needing more time to recover.
