No offense, but with your stats you'd be on the slow side, weak side, and small side for a corner even at the high school level let alone D1 college. Typical D1 corner stats would be a 4.5 40 and 20...

So what I'm hearing so far is that cardio is important only because it helps one be more strict with their calories. So I guess so far everyone would agree, if you had no issues with discipline and...

How would you compare the following:

for both assume BMR of 2300, male, average or a little better in terms of fitness, strength, and body fat levels, ie not elite but not out of shape newbie

I love it when girls assume they're not getting asked out because guys are intimidated by them.

I'm doing a strength-hypertrophy split. On my strength day, I do db incline. I've always been able to get the db's in position no problem. Get them on your knees. Kick them up to starting...

My opinion's a little contrary here. Take mine along with others and figure out what makes best sense for you.

I think bulking's a little overrated for people of our age unless you've been doing...

My understanding of 20 rep squats is that it's done at a rep max of something lower, like 12 or 15, and you pause and rest to get the last 5-10 up for one long grueling set that's equivalent to...

Thanks for the good replies, guys.

I read about high rep workouts from a lot of places.

Bodybuilding magazines frequently give workouts of guys that are doing reps of 15-20, or even supersets of the same muscle like 12 rep bench...

Bump.

Anyone else have an opinion on this. Looks interesting. I think I'll try it for a few weeks.

There's no way this information is correct, though. Try taking 65% of your 1RM and putting...

I did read all the posts, skimmed the articles linked, and I'll go back and read the articles linked in more depth. On surface, they didn't seem to suggest what the poster said they would, but I'll...

Thanks, all. I didn't come to debate nutrient timing. I'm not qualified to do so. Cheers.

I didn't take that passage to mean the carbs post workout weren't important. That particular study was trying to prove that carb + protein is superior to carb only. And that passage was reinforcing...

Thanks. Like I said before, I'm not an expert, but I have formed some opinions based on reading the literature. My understanding is that the insulin spike is not necessarily the important thing,...

Alan, I've read a lot of your stuff, and I have high respect for you. And obviously I'm not going to teach you anything. I read a lot about this stuff when I first started about a year ago. I...

Serves me right for asking a question on an apparently politically charged issue.

I understand many folks here are against the concept of fast carbs in pre/post workout shakes. I also understand...

Nope. Haven't been mistaken for an athlete in 20 years.

I use the pre/post workout drinks just to try to maximize my workout. I usually do 25 g protein 25 g CHO pre and 25 g protein 75 g CHO...

In my wife's Self Magazine this month:

Powerbar Ironman sports drink. The new formula has a 2 to 1 ratio of glucose to fructose, which delivers the carbs in your drink to your muscles faster blah...

How bad is the over the counter stuff like what is Nyquil? Doxylmine succonate or something like that. I take that every night.

The idea is to compress the cycle from seven days to four days by making the hypertrophy day a quasi rest day while still getting some hypertrophy benefit. Don't know. Maybe I'd do just as well...
