How many can you do and how did you get there? I'm talking about the overhand grip.

Personally I can do about 10 and I aim to get a set in a few times a day.

I had a look on the powerlifting forum - thanks guys.

Is there anything I should bear in mind when working out at night? I'm talking maybe 10pm or later at times due to other commitments..?

Right, I used the 'most accurate' method according to that main calorie/macronutrient article and multiplied my BMR by the activity factor, then added the 10%. So that must mean that my exercise is...

Thanks for the input. Yeah, the other day I burned around 2700cal due to a 6 hour walk with a 20kg pack scaling cliffs/rocks and walking over hills and through bush - was great fun!! Especially since...

My maintenance calories are around ~2700cal (173cm/71kg/15%BF). I'm adding 10-20% to that for my bulking phase (making it say, 3000cal).
