I'll just reiterate that 1800 calories seems too low for someone who's 15 years old, 6'3 and active. With a deficit that high, you risk losing appreciable amounts of muscle mass as well as fat. I...

You can't really compare the two. They are different movements and your bodyweight is distributed differently through your legs.

You need to stop thinking about this. Just lift and stop...

minimum???

lol... man that's 3.1 lbs of beef. That's like my maintenance level in calories just in meat. Sure makes you wonder wtf they did before protein shakes...

I also really appreciate their simple, no BS design.

That and they don't have hundreds of opinions pieces that scream "5 lifts you should never do" and other attention grabbing garbage that a lot...

The iron price.

When you say high reps, how many are we talking?

Anyway, you are referring to deloading. More: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=121391461&page=1

One body part per day is not really what you want to start out with.

Look into something like a two day split. That way you'll hit every muscle twice per week. You really don't need so much...

Personally I think you're better off bulking. If you want abs to show, you have to cut, which means limited or no muscle growth. So you'll just get skinnier. It's too late to cut for the summer...

3 times more than enough.

Some people don't do any direct ab work and have nice abs just from compound lifts.

Can you elaborate? How bad is your imbalance that you not only went to see a doctor, but he's recommending electric muscle stimulation which is normally reserved for victims of atrophy?

And I...

Depends what other leg exercises you do... front emphasize quads, back more PC. So, say you're doing lunges as well... you could probably drop the front squats and just do back.

Because the muscle fibres extend laterally across your chest, there's not really anything you can do to target the middle or inner chest. The best you'll get is anecdotes from various people, but...

Yeah, I don't think you need a chest day at all. Pick a split that allows you to hit each muscle group twice a week. As Ironwill said, frequency > volume.

Problem with that is that you would or should find it very difficult to bulk or grow muscle if that's the case.

Well, imo high rep work is only worth while if you want to be good at doing high reps. For someone who wants well defined abs, I'd sooner recommend low reps, high resistance. Moreover, cardio and...

But how many abs do you exercise?

Seriously though, how many calories you need depends on many factors, like age, weight, height, activity level and goals. Go to the nutrition section and read.

I would say yes, unless you are going for 1 RPM or something.

Pullovers are good for chest stretch

What SpeedJason is likely referring to is that although you leg press 400 lbs, you are NOT transferring 400 lbs of force through your legs. Force vectors, angle of sled, etc.

Besides squatting is...
