I love my leg days, so yes, I will definitely continue with squats and calf raises (I interchange front to back squats to balance quads, hams, and glutes). I do more pushups than bench, but I would...

Thanks for the feedback, I'll go through your link. I was also thinking about tailoring my climbing days in my workout as either an "OFF" day or possibly in my Back and Bicep days... good idea?

I really want to build endurance, and more upper body strength. I just also enjoy lifting heavy and don't want to lose mass while climbing. Trying to balance my overall fitness.

I began rock climbing not long ago. I have noticed some arm and core strength along with a little bit of fat shredding. I really want to gain a little more size, though.
Can anyone suggest a simple...

Hey,

I'm 5'9 and right now I weigh 174 lbs - my body fat is around 20%. Before I stopped working out in December, I was in good shape and bulking (eating up to 3,000 cal.).

I'm well out of...

Thanks man, 'preciate the feedback! I'll use the machines this week with a belt... play it safe.

When you're done bulking, you have to start cutting: Run more, do less weight/higher reps, plyometrics are great for cutting. Point is, you have to burn the fat covering those muscles.

Yeah that's what my best guess is... it's been 5 months away from the gym and this is my first week/first Leg day. I'm real pissed because I debated not starting as heavy after such a long break. I...

Yeah, I mean I warmed up with just the BB before putting weight on. I debated starting at 95 lbs, but maybe starting at 135 lbs was too soon... I ended my sets at 155 lbs. because of the pain. Again,...

It's pretty much uncomfortable and somewhat painful to sit on soft furniture. Like right above my coccyx to under my mid back.

Hey everybody,

I started a new workout program this past week after a 5 month hiatus. On leg day (today) I didn't want to start too heavy, so I started with 135 lbs. for Romanian Deadlifts.
My...

Thanks for the advice! I think I'll try it that way.

Yeah, when I was wrestling throughout high school I stuck to lean meats and carbs... no supplements until recently (No real supplement experience). I read that you should take 1 scoop of protein post...

Should I take creatine and protein supplement first thing in the morning on ON days and OFF days (once/day)?

I just bought a 2 lbs tub of Syntha-6 protein and a 50 g (I believe) of Con-Cret. I'm going to start my weight training this upcoming week and want to start using my supplements a couple of days...

I do hip stretches in the a.m.'s (lay on my back and pull my knees to my chest), and sometimes I do sprawl sets (wrestling workouts to loosen my hips up - pretty much like mobility drills that...

I don't understand why my question makes you angry. I guess I was angry for asking simple questions (that were specific and not necessarily answered through other peoples' posts), regardless...how...

Lol, possibly the best post on a thread I've ever read. I will do just that, btw. Thanks!

I know what you mean, man. Thank God it's not an injury, it's a persistant problem that comes from some years of wrestling. I've been to Chiropractors and they told me it was due to tight hips....

That's actually a good idea...
