My Squats and Leg press went up 50% over my last bulk period while i was doing HIIT 3-4/week. My thighs are pretty big for my weight and height 22.5" @156lbs and 5'5".

My legs were not sore day...

I know the hardcores, especially the the powerlifting types may scouf at this. But using the Smith Machine and/or box squatting really helps when doing all-out high-rep squatting. When doing...

I'm sure I probably have issues with my rotator cuff. Incline press has made it worse. I only get it on the right side...I believe this stems from a biking accident several years ago...and also...

Yes...but there was a lot less pain before I incorporated incline barbell presses...and it is by far the most painful...here is my list of shoulder pain inducing exercises for me....from most painful...

there is an issue with my pecs right now (actually the problem is with my shoulders)...i swapped out decline press in favor of incline press 6weeks ago...and I have notice improvement in overall pec...

Well...there are some "low-budget" options, but you will sacrafice protein quality and LOTSA time.

From my "low-budget" endevours in the past, I have found that DRIED legumes to be the lowest cost...

Thanks Layne. I just read David Barr's article. I hope his thesis got accepted and he got his Masters though! Done deal on l-glutamine.

I don't feel that bad considering the 1kg of Glut cost me...

Ah...the infamous promise of more muscle and less fat. Unless you've never worked out before...it ain't gonna happen.

Decide whether you want to bulk or cut...summer's coming, so I'm cutting.

Layne. I started supplementing with 5-10g of L-glutamine to recover from overtraining. What difference does it make weather or not I'm bulking or cutting? Or have you changed your view on...

I bulked 30lbs+ in a bit more than 4 months (see log below) while doing HIIT cardio 3-4x/week.

Caveat, that much HIIT did overtrain me. Having your HR hit 90% max day-in-day-out takes a toll,...

I buy organic Oatmeal, it's about $2/kg. Slightly more than regular. I find organic cereal/grains only carry a 10-20% price premium vs. regular kind. So at that point it's worth it. Organic meats...

Used to be strong!

Well, yesterday I decided last minute that I would work-out. I figured that most of my problems have been in my head. And if I were to overcome some of the other stresses in...

You're probably right, psychology is probably my biggest problem right now. It doesn't help that I am under extreme pressure at my office right now as well.

Though I think from a physiological...

I've only at most taken one week off at a time. You really think my central nervous system is slacking? Do you think stopping HIIT cardio has significant impact on CNS? So you think maybe by...

Here is my typical routine. Obviously right now, I'm not doing HIIT cardio, so Tue, Thurs, Sat&Sun are off. My typical rep range was 6-8 during bulking. I'm trying to be at 10-12 for cutting...but...

I NEED HELP! I'm having serious problem trying to get back into the groove and have not had a good workout in over 6 weeks.

If you look at my log below, you'll see I had pretty good bulk cycle...

ok...well based on feedback and past experience, i will go do the following

i) take one week off, +
ii) reduce intensity when i come back for at least a week, +
iii) reaccess after 2 weeks

I am doing weight 3x and low-mid cardio 2x right now. I have been OFF doing HIIT cardio for 2 weeks now. Previously I was doing weight 3-4x and HIIT cardio 3-4x with one day completely off. Quite...

ok...i know i am overtrained. just look at my logs below and you can see how my progress has plateaued. i definitely have the symptoms and have been trying to address the issue in the past couple...

that's what i thought. but why do none of the supplement companys show this on the label?
