Again, Real Deal, extremely good insight. I knew that in order to be considered a natural that you had to be "natural" for 1 year. That's why a lot of natural competitions are B.S. because the...
I heard that there was going to be an "Official Ranking of the IFBB Pros" today. Anybody have word on how that turned out? My top 15 for this year would probably be:
Those pictures are ass. There are a million of Ruhl (who took SECOND) and like 2 or 3 or Charles who actually won the damn thing. I can't tell anything other than Ruhl did look bloated and I...
Gotta tell you, it is kind of disconcerting that you are a month into your cycle and are already injuring yourself. Seems we have the Dorian Yates of BB.com here. ;)
Very good insight. But what about Dorian? Other than frequent muscle tears, I haven't heard of him having horrible health problems, and he not only has had plenty of cycles, but he is still...
OH yeah, almost forgot. I'm doing 10 minutes of warm-up cardio pre-workout, than 20 more minutes post workout, and I walk up and down campus all day long at school.
My largest argument for always, ALWAYS squatting in the power rack with bars. Even if you can get the weight up no problem, if something gives on you, consider yourself permanently f*cked.
Apparently no Ruhl this year. I suppose he is saving himself for the Olympia and a top 6 finish this year. If a lot of the guys already qualified are on for the Olympia, picking the final callouts...
I'm curious, however, some guys like Priest and Ronnie presumably take as many drugs as Flex did, yet they are reasonably healthy (for the time being)...
Interesting how the "Newborn Drug-Free" Flex had a kidney breakdown (a condition that is often linked directly to steroid abuse). Didn't see that one coming, I thought he was telling the truth!...
There's a vitamin for everything, isn't there? Why not make it as simple as "Get Big" Drinks or Weighgainers? 1,000 calories in a serving? They are expensive and aren't as good as food, but if you...
Try dumbells. If you don't have any pain, use them instead of the barbell (a lot of guys think they are more effective anyway). If you start having the same problem, I don't know what to tell you.
And you, my friend, would be speaking German today if it weren't for the U.S. Military. Yes, history was brutal. How about Europe? The Crusades, anyone? Where do you think slavery started?
...
Floor presses are essentially bench presses, but laying on the floor. Because you are on the floor, you can't bring the bar all the way to your chest, thus using more tricep movement and...
There's a major, MAJOR problem with dumbell deadlifts, and it's not that it won't be heavy enough: It's that your GRIP will give out before your back, completely defeating the purpose of deadlifts! ...
