My forearms have a problem when it comes to straight bar, or EZ bar, curls. I have to prioritize the hammer curl, otherwise my forearm feels like it's about to snap.

If I wanted to cut down from 195/15.6% BF to around 175/8-10% BF, how many lbs per week is the threshold of unhealthy and healthy?

15.6% BF right now. Want to get rid of the fat and start a slow lean bulk.

My maxes are all decent, I just don't put on size.

I was 212/16% before I started cutting and got sick with bronchitis.

Better not bring a knife to a gun fight.

First of all, stop using just the weight machines and start using free weights. Now, despite the overall volume not being a lot, you're still working your muscle every 3 days, as opposed to only...

It's all a personal preference, I'm at this crossroad my self. If you feel like you can shed some fat, then cut down for a few weeks. Once you hit a desired weight/BF%, then start a strict lean bulk...

Any generic full body routine will help out all aspects of boxing (working legs = kicks, working upper body = durability and hitting strength).

Pick any intermediate routine that has been stickied. Alter the workouts to make sure they're available for you. Try Lyle McDonald's generic bulking routine, Coolcicada's Push/Pull/Legs routine, or...

You lower the volume per day because of the multiple sessions per week. You also maximize the effects of protein synthesis, because there are many articles out there that say your protein synthesis...

You're not training chest on Monday..?

Just kidding.

It all comes down to if it works for you, OP. From a muscle recovery standpoint, you don't have any days following each other that use the...

I'd even say try adding one drop set exercise each day for the muscle, and just see how your body reacts. It might not be enough to justify not doing another drop set for 3 more weeks..

I know...

How long have you been lifting? What are your goals (do you want to bulk, or are you cutting)? You shouldn't skip training your legs, you will get a huge testosterone boost from training legs, even...

Muscle size will come from consistent, and progressive, workouts, and a diet that allows your body to have a caloric surplus. Stick to something basic that has proven results in the past (i.e.,...
