Hello everyone,

I've been bodybuilding consistently for just at a year now. This is the first time in my life where I stuck with my nutrition and dedication so I'm proud to reach the 1yr...

Sounds good to me - let's exchange info.

I was actually logging on to find out when is the next show. I've been interested in seeing one soon. I had no idea it was so soon. I'd be interested - I live in ATL.

I actually start off almost every workout with pull ups only using my body weight. When I do my chest days, I do about 5-10 between the first few sets and at the end of the workout. I started doing...

When I started cutting a couple of months ago, all of my reading pointed to lifting heavy so you maintain your muscle mass. Basically tricking your body to keep the muscle and not use it as an energy...

I was 5'10" 145lbs.

Eat a lot and no cardio for at least first 5 months.

Stick to the basic lifts (bench, deadlift, squats) and throw in chin ups as well. Lift heavy! I started off doing 5x5...

I did this same routine when trying to gain weight. In April 2010 I started at 5'10" 145lbs. By late August I was at 185. I gained a lot of muscle mass and my lifts went up pretty quick (from 150lbs...

Funny, I was coming here to post about how many sets of deadlifts to do. I always keep reps low (5 or 6), but its okay to take it down to 3 sets? Ive done 4-5 sets for the past few months and it's a...

Great, thanks!

Quick question. I've searched around for more info on this but I didn't find much.

Is there a scale to measure your lifting stats according to your body weight?

I had a conversation with a guy...

Back in October, I was hovering around 180-185lbs when I decided to clean up my diet and focus on my midsection. For the first several weeks, the scale seemed to not budge after an initial 5lb lost....

What if you may not meet your calories for that day (say a 500 calorie deficit) but you consumed at least 150g of protein through the food you did eat and supplements. What happens to muscle mass?...

Yes, I thought of that but would those extra calories be "clean"? Meaning, won't I get a more fat on my body.

That raises a question. If I eat say a limit 2,000 calories a day, but it was mostly...

I've been training for 9 months and by the first 6 months, I ate/drank (including Serious Mass) everything in sight and grew from 145lbs to 185lbs, but of course I had a good bit of fat on me.

I...

Since I've began cutting, I try to keep the sets at 3-4 reps around 5-6 rep range HEAVY WEIGHT (i.e. 4 sets of 5 on BP). However, I did do some moderate weight for 8-12 reps towards the end of the...

Thanks!

Yeah, it is quite annoying but I'm slightly more satisfied with my visual development.

I just remember a few weeks ago, I could rep 225 10x easily, even after 5 sets of heavier lifts....

Good advice. I pretty much avoided all of these pitfalls, I think I just didn't eat enough. I forgot to mention that I caught a really bad cold for about a week and had trouble eating. The week...

Thanks for both replies. At least I know that's a normal rate of loss - that was what I feared.

I never got an official BF% calculation done but I've always been a pretty thin guy until I started...

5x10 reps (All BW), different grips between sets of other lifts yesterday. 50 Total.

New total = 1,996

Hello everyone,

I went through a recent cutting phase. I went from 5'10" 145lbs to 185lbs but started to work on getting my body fat down after building mass for 6+ months. I reached about 178...
