To answer your question, OP, yes, you can build legs without squats. Squats are commonly accepted as the best way to build leg mass, but as long as you're willing to work with your body, you can make...

It doesn't quite feel like a pinched nerve; I definitely think there's some inflammation. I just don't know what I could have aggravated, since every shoulder-related lifting injury is either a...

Hey all, I'm in need of some advice.

About a month ago, my shoulder started bothering me after clean and jerks. I had full ROM and no specific pain, but it just didn't feel "right"--it felt too...

Salaam-alaykum, nardz.

I'm in your boat as far as the fasting goes, so I thought I'd share some of my personal experiences with fasting. Let me start with the basic premise:

Approach Ramadan,...

That's some consolation, I suppose. Thank you for responding.

Are these max or rep weights? Either way, I am a sad panda.

Have you tried hammer-grip pull-ups? I find that getting my grip close and pulling to my waist really gets me deep between the shoulder blades. I can't think of many better lifts for upper back than...

Mr. Green:

You need more protein and fewer carbs. You should be taking in equal amounts of both, especially if you're trying to lose weight. I'm not advocating Atkins here, but you're going to...

If I understand you correctly, you're new to lifting? If this is the case, stop worrying. Just be careful about your diet, lift consistently, and do cardio. The first thing you need to do is actually...

Both have their benefits. Honestly there is no "right" answer to this question. If you're doing steady state cardio, you need to be around ~65% VO2 max. This means you should be taking deep, steady...

What are the calorie totals and the macronutrient breakdown? Also, you should be hitting up either fish or flax oil--the only "good" fat you're getting is from natural PB and that doesn't have any...

Great work, man. It looks like you need to eat more from the diets you've posted, though--are you still only taking in 2300 calories a day?

Also, look for flaxseed oil or fish oil as a supplement...

Correct.

Why is everyone plugging HIIT? It's the cardio version of weight-lifting. It doesn't target fat.

As far as your original question, you should do as much cardio as you can comfortably do, at a...

woo I am so close to finishing the first part of this huge project for work... soooo cloooose.

SPEECH! SPEECH!

Yeah, it's really disheartening, actually. I work in a School of Nursing and I cannot believe how many people take the elevator up and down one floor. It is so terrifying that people who are in...

I think carb timing has a sound philosophy, and it obviously works. However, I do question the sort of carb-hating mentality a lot of people have adopted--it's very remniscent of the fat-hating...

Are you sure Cro Magnon man had access to bows and arrows while the Neanderthals were still around? That is pretty sophisticated technology for the time period we're discussing.

Besides, there's...

Nope. How much do those run, cost-wise?
