Google doesn't seem to come up with anything good. I'm looking for articles, books, videos, etc... about contest dieting. I'm wanting very specific information (calories cut per week, cardio...

I have been studying for my ACSM certification for a year now (around school), and am planning on taking the exam in a couple of months. But I would like to take the webinar to really solidify that I...

I have done many cuts at this point and have competed in a couple shows all without a coach. I've gotten pretty good at getting lean at this point, but the ability to reverse diet from a cut without...

The only thing you should really specifically avoid is adding calories to your diet too fast. Add calories enough to gain a couple pounds a month at most and it should be a decently lean gain.

MyFitnessPal is not an accurate tool to go by.

For a bulk and for the sake of your sanity, I would increase your fats to at least 20%. The biggest problem with such a low number is imo just the...

I love vegetables when I'm dieting because they have so little calories. You can eat a ton of them and depending on what vegetable you eat get hardly any calories from it. My favorites are brussel...

From a general health stand point that is a ton of cholesterol. I would hope you have a considerable amount of unsaturated fats in your diet as well to keep your lipid profile under control. I...

I'll tell you what Lee Haney told me at the Olympia when I quoted a doctor in a question I asked him.
"Doctors don't even lift."

Lift weights. Eat right.

They pay the gym membership prices, so they can workout an any way they want. There's absolutely no reason to judge somebody for the way they workout. Some people aren't there to get big-as-flock....

Cardio has been shown to negatively influence the muscle building pathway (mTor), but it wont stop you from gaining muscle completely as long as you are eating a sufficient amount of calories....

How did you eat 140 grams of fat? condiments and cheese? If you're going for more nutrient dense sources of fat like avocado and nuts, that should be a bit harder. Use avocado instead of cheese and...

It's just about impossible to overtrain if your diet and sleep is in check. If you're only eating 1,000 calories and sleeping two hours a night then you could be "overtraining" a bit, but I'm...

How much weight are you gaining every week? Not to go against bro science or anything, but 4.5 thousand calories is a shut-ton. If you're gaining more than a pound a week you're not getting any...

Well I can tell that you lift. I can't say that about most people that have a metabolism as high as yours. I can tell if you keep it up there is some great potential there.

I'm not going to completely disgree with the above statements, but I will say conditioning beats size in the local shows more often then in the higher ranks. I've been big teen competitors and also I...

1. Muscles almost always have an antagonist muscle on the other side of the bone to move the joint in the other direction. (ex. bicep on one side to curl arm, and tricep on other side to extend arm)...

Rest, stretch, and eat.
