The MAJORITY of LA Fitness trainers are clueless idiots. And they don't exactly practice what they preach, at my LA Fitness at least. Your trainer might be an overweight dude with a beer belly and...

I won't argue that I could be wrong with the tension transferring to the triceps, however for me it personally feels like more of an arm workout whenever I go below parallel.

It's actually...

Stop when your elbows are parallel with your shoulders. Don't go below that, otherwise you're taking the tension off your delts and transferring it to your triceps. Like mentioned above you'll...

Thanks! rep again on recharge

Amazing progress OP. I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone who has stuck to natural lifting. Any of my friends that are serious into lifting resorted to juice and it's very discouraging....

Repped for being the only one to provide detailed information instead of broad generic advice.

I do agree that 10% increase on core lifts is a lot. But what about on accessory lifts? It always worked for me in the past. Especially considering when you use pin-loaded machines their weight...

I don't remember the time period, 5 months maybe? I made sure I kept a steady loss of 1lb/week. If you read my posts above, I can guarantee you I did not cut too quickly and cutting is not the...

I was considering doing that. Doing 3x5, then 3x6 the following week, then 3x7 and so forth. 3x10 was just an average, of course if I could achieve 10 reps for all 3 sets I would increase the...

I'll be deloading (if you can call it that at this point) by more than 10%. Let me put this into perspective for you guys... My bench press went down by a total of 65lbs after 3 combined weeks off. ...

I think everyone is missing the point where I mentioned that I was cutting for the majority of my workout. :/ Had I been consuming enough calories to allow me to progress in weights, I would, but I...

Yes. I went through 2 months of physical therapy to re-align it but it always manages to rotate again. He said at the bottom of the motion in deadlifts, it expands the space between the discs in...

If anything my nutrition improved when I noticed the strength decrease, since I was cutting for most of the time... The diet remained the same, just increased portions. While it's clear my training...

I was cutting at the time so I was just maintaining strength in a 3x10 fashion, there was no progressive overload. Obviously if I had the potential I would increase by 5-10% on the last set. ...

Well I recently switched to a full upper/lower body routine (4 day split, each twice a week) a few months ago. Was going great, was cutting at the time and was still maintaining/increasing my...

If you're new to lifting first start off with what was recommended above. Find your BMR and eat at maintenance until your lifts start stalling. Then you can decide from there whether you prefer to...

Kinda hard to tell, looks like your first pic was taken at a farther distance than the other two. But your arms look noticeably bigger from what I can tell.

Yeah until his noob gains stop and he hits a plateau. Not everyone is a genetic superfreak. He's eventually going to have to decide whether he wants to cut or bulk.

I agree with determinednoob,...

This article is stupid. If you eat at maintenance, you're going to do exactly that, maintain your skinny fat look. An untrained individual CAN eat at maintenance for awhile and make gains but it...
