All Pro,

I have a bad rotator cuff so I use very light weights on the military press - basically just to slowly get back into it without re-injuring my rotator.

So I thought about augmenting...

Hello - I'm stuck at 165 lbs and 18% bf. My lifts are starting to stall now as well.

So what will happen if I eat at maintenance, eat my 135g of daily protein, and keep stalling out of going up...

Weight: 165
BF%: 18
Protein Intake: 135g
Activity Factor: 1.4

Thanks

What's more important for muscle retention during a cut...1g protien per lbm or lifting heavy?

If you had to slack on one which one would it be?

Nope, I'm old. I've heard the same thing from others, too.

I'm at around 20% BF with more than handful of blubber around my midsection. My goal is to get down to 12% or so to get rid of this tub of lard around my waist which means at 5'11" I'll be around...

I think I'm in pretty decent shape (18-20% BF) until I try on a pair of pants that are too tight around the waist. Then my fat gets squeezed up and over my entire belt. I've got back fat, love...

The link is a bit unclear. Is this for a single rep?

It has been taking me 2 cycles to increase my bench press weight. The 2nd set of 12 reps is a killer. I just can't do it on the 1st cycle after increasing the weight. I'm on cycle 5.

Is this...

Makes sense. I should have guessed it isn't so black and white. Thanks!

It's hard to say. I used to run alot - lots of cardio. I'm fatter now but it probably has nothing to do with the switch to All Pro's Beginners Routine. I'm not doing my marathon training anymore.

I could care less what the weights on the bar say or where the peg goes in the machine. I work out based on my 1R max so the numbers are relative and other than that meaningless.

I'm 40 years old....

(1) No spotter
(2) The routine takes longer
(3) I just prefer the machines. But I will do the routine that is more effective or has more benefits.

I just want to know why free weights are...

What is the downside if I do the cycles with 6-10 reps instead of 8-12? I'm not interested in strength whatsoever. Could care less about strength. Only goal is size.

If you goal isn't to gain strength or balance but just body recomposition for aesthetic purposes why are free weights better than machines?

I used to do a circuit training routine that consisted...

The only thing that really works for me for BF reduction to get down in the low teens is Marathon Training. Calorie restriction doesn't work. My cravings for sugar makes me act like a heroin addict...

Yes. It is the beginner's routine except the OHP is replaced with (1) standing rows and (2) tricep press, as suggested by All Pro. I am wondering if the sequence is correct or if there is something...

I had to get rid of the OHP because of rotator cuff problems. So here is my routine:

Squat
Bench Press
Bent Row
Standing Row
Curls
SLDL
Tricep Press
Calf Raises
