The pump doesn't mean a ton. I'd assume you didn't feel the same pump because of CNS adaptations. You're correct in that focusing on the muscular movements as opposed to simply moving the weight will...

If you're currently doing deadlift with back, I'd switch legs to Friday to ensure you aren't fatiguing yourself for a Wednesday leg day. Other than that, if it's working don't change too much. Switch...

Currently 6' 180 14% BF. I've done two cycles of starting strength and it was great but I want to move into a bodybuilding style workout. My weak spots are lats, biceps, forearms, and traps. I'm...

My current 6 day split has barely been doing anything for me recently and I've been looking at doing Rippetoe mostly because I haven't done a full body workout in about a full year. Currently I am:...

I consider myself a fairly intermediate lifter and here is my program right now:

Every set until failure pretty much
Day 1: Chest
Flat BB Bench, 8,6,4,4
Incline DB 6,4,4,4
Decline BB: 8,6,4,4...

Well football isn't over but I'd like to start thinking of a program now. Right now I'm 5'11", 155lbs, no idea what my max squat is (haven't squatted since before football for obvious reasons), my...

I tried doing same thing for a few weeks, it did work well especially on my decline which I saw very big gains on. I kept doing flat BB bench for warmups with only 95lbs right before incline.

Time to bring up the argument seemingly as old as bodybuilding itself.

1: Chest Tri
2: Rest
3: Back Bi
4: Legs
5: Rest
6: Shoulders, Abs, Forearms
7: Rest

just to tell you, you're going to have a lot of trouble gaining weight while doing cross country. Assuming you run about 4+ miles a day gaining weight will be almost impossible especially if you're...

one last bump

I have managed to prepare eggs everyway on the face of this planet for the past couple years but recently have started having only 2 eggs but with whole grain bagels.

I was just wondering why no...

bump, any more advice

I am extremely busy during the summer and I always find time to workout but not always eat enough to bulk. I've gotten a little stronger since late June but sort of unintentionally cut and lost 6...

First off my summer job requires a lot of heavy lifting, mostly back and legs and my legs are constantly tired so I'm not doing ANY legs (even though I know squatting helps basically everything).

If I'm doing a 5x5 routine, example:
Flat BB Bench 5x5
Pullups 5x5
Incline DB Bench 5x5
Lat Rows 5x5

How long should I rest?

Also, what % of my max should i be doing for these?

I'm not very strong and only 15 years old. I've been working out consistently for just about a year but I've had trouble getting any stronger the past couple months. I was going each bodypart twice a...

Human body is mostly water. Also, it helps breakdown fat, digest food, in general is good.

Yes, I can it's really not much different than normal pullups. First buy some nice gloves so that your grip doesn't go, with one hand you need the extra grip. Also work your forearms to increase...
