and keep working on the chest.... once it gets a little bigger and u cut a...

it seems to me that at this point ud benefit from a higher volume program. I have experience with this sort of situation.... the problem is that you are failing to stimulate ur muscles because a)...

agreed. thats what im doing right now

been on a low calorie diet for the past 4 weeks and my strength losses are minimal

this guy probably gained those 8 pounds by taking in large amounts of carbs that, in turn, retain more water

I bet that if he went on a low-carb diet he would loose more than half of what he...

depends on a lot of things, you should really assess your routine as a whole as opposed to singling out the individual bodyparts

i had a similar problem when i was first starting out. theres several reasons at play here. I proceed with the assumption that your form is good. Here's the problem:

1) some people have...

What he said.

Sometimes I think people don't remember or don't know what it's like to be a complete beginner because a lot of them have been training, at least in some capacity since they were...

What? As a complete beginner?
... and how often does that happen?

okay.... another one of those exaggerations that's not based on reality
In your world I'd have a 300 Bench press in 20 weeks. Wouldn't that be nice. We could all have massive pecs in just 5 months....

you can have the same if not better results with healthy food... particularly due to their high mineral...

it's a very good idea but, if ur an intermediate lifter, u still shouldnt max out on ur second day otherwise ull overtrain. If u did want to max out do incline bench the second day.

but i should...

dude wtf is this? this is unnecessarily complex

Either do a bill starr/rippetoe type of a thing or
Upper body lower body split hitting each body part twice a week or
Push muscles and...

in my experience, high intensity techniques are the best way to get injured, although i have to admit i have never tried a low volume, high intensity routine in the style of yates or metzner.

he doesnt do his sets across
he pyramids everything up until he reachers 500 for bench and 700 for deads and squats... and then he starts counting sets, but i still think he pyramids them after that

iron man magazine had his whole routine a couple of issues back

If you're really pushing yourself, I wouldnt advice doing both. I know it would be impossible at this point for me. My knee joints get inflamed from squatting alone... and you gotta be careful with...
