I've been lifting for a LONG time, and my lifts have seemed to stall. I just competed in my first meet in December, but I didn't reach the goals I had set. I'm trying to decide what program to start...

Yes! I'm not a fan of machines and rarely use them, with the exception of cables. How are you liking her program? Have you done the 54321? I'm looking into something strength focused to try.

Could be ankle mobility, so look up some exercises for that. Could also be weak abductors-so for those doing things like band walks, band clams, and seated abductions could help. Or doing squats with...

You obvioulsy need more than 2500 calories. That's close to what I take in, and I'm a 120lb female. Add in some extra peanut butter, nuts, coconut oil, whatever, just to get a few hundred extra...

If you're still seeing gains, no reason to change it up to "shock" the muscles. Just focus on getting stronger over time on the big lifts. With that being said, every 4-6 weeks, I do think it's good...

In order to tone and tighten, you muscle build muscle. That may mean that you gain weight, but it is possible to gain weight via muscle while staying at the same bodyfat. It's going to come down to...

I have been for 2 years. I'm not cutting or bulking, just trying to maintain bodyfat while increasing strength and muscle. I take 3-5 grams a day and don't cycle it.

Thanks! It is in Cincinnati, Ohio at the Sweatt Shop.

Thanks for the help everyone, I appreciate it!!

Thank you!

Hi! I'm new to powerlifting(my first meet is in December) and was looking to see if anyone had recommendations for a good lifting belt and knee sleeves? Thanks!

Think of using your hips to get the weight up-there should be a point where the barbell is almost floating, and you just jump under and catch it, rather than pulling it up with your arms. It's all...

I agree with the comment above. Don't be afraid to lift heavy! It's only going to help you lean out. I think heavy lifting has also helped me to have more defined abs. But the only way to see your...

It is not the same movement(horizontal versus vertical), but it is working many of the same muscles, so by increasing your back strength it can definitely help with your pullups. Also just doing any...

Yes, there are a few ways to get a temporary glute pump-bodyweight glute bridges or hip thrusts for 3 sets of 20 with short rest. Or go through a circuit of fire hydrants, clams, quad. hip...

I agree! A "bodybuilder" wants to build their body and that will likely be their number one priority almost to the point of obsession, as I have found personally! Everything they do with their...

As long as you are getting in 2-3 real meals a day also, I think that's fine! Personally, I eat eggs, chicken and turkey every day, but to get some extra calories, I like having a couple shakes a...

Great advice! As a woman who has been lifting for over 10 years, I can tell you, it's NOT easy to build muscle. If you do, it will only look like you're "toned", not big and bulky. Plus, lifting...

How long have you been lifting? How much do you eat? What else do you do besides squats? How many reps? All of those things will factor in. Squats are just one part of the equation! To build muscle...

Here is an update for my 3rd month on Clear Muscle.

This month I got a few rep PRs-

Sumo deadlift 210lbs for 3 reps
320lb prowler push for 5 sets
235lb hip...
