Over and over until you forget how to count except in units of 5.

** To be clear: Muscle Strength and Muscle Volume are directly correlated. Study showed [1] that low rep...

Makes sense. I wouldn't think to do much more cardio than that anyways. I worry that I'm going to build up too much muscle mass as I increase my weights. Right now I'm sitting around 22% BF, so lean...

I agree entirely. Which is why I'm trying to avoid Beginner/Intermediate, pre-built workouts. I already have problems with motivation. To be clear: I am a lazy, unmotivated, self-indulgent slob. And...

You're pretty much spot on for my goals. I want to get out of 220 partially because I'd be much happier with my physique at 198, but more importantly (as you suggested) because the competitive...

He's probably right. But I've struggled with pre-established routines in the past, but made small tweaks and had success. If you're looking to "gain weight and bulk up", you could probably pop over...

TL;DR: Is this routine sensible for my goals, or did I overlook a glaring mistake?

Hey all,

I've been doing painful amounts of research and have put together a routine with a few goals in mind:...

I have this same problem. My left arm is about a half inch bigger than my right, but I'm not nearly into the 15+ range so the difference is very noticeable. I'm very right hand dominant however,...

If I could improve my grip without causing my already awkwardly massive forearms to get any bigger, it'd be a worthy suggestion. I do plenty of exercises that would develop grip naturally as part of...

It slips enough on the third rep that on a fourth I wouldn't be able to catch it.

One rep I have no idea. The last full set I did (not necessarily a max) was 195x4, 205x4, 215x4, and if I could have, I would have increased the weight the following week... I guess that puts a...

I like the idea of racking the weight at an intermediate height out of a front squat. I'll have to try that. Thanks!

To angelofangle: doing Cleans from the hang still gives me the same problem of...

Hey all,

I used to do Power Cleans and Snatch as a regular part of my routine, but I quickly reached a point where it was impossible to do Cleans without dropping the weights (as most people...

Creatine and you'll gain 5 in water weight alone within a couple of weeks. Yay water!

Lol how about norm being among the people with mentality and/or body types of the typical person who uses this site (eg another tall, young, athletic person)? Or at least amongst those who can walk...

I'm currently 20 years old, 6'2", 200-205 lbs. I've been lifting since I was 14 (played football all of highschool), and I'm wondering how I'm doing relative to the norm - I find benchmarking...

cool, thanks!

hopefully it's all gunna work lol

I forgot to mention that I'm on a good multivitamin, drink a gallon of water a day and (before this) was on a 3500 calorie diet that I would maintain weight at.

Again thanks,

I've tried to read up lots on nutrition and diets and whatnot, but I find that eventually everything becomes redundant, so I figured I'd just post and ask what people think about mine, now that I...
