Christ I envy you :D

I eat around 3000 cals/day and my weight has dropped from 165 to a little over 150 in the last nine months.

I doubt it would be possible without vomiting it back up.

It's all very well saying eat more if but unfortunatly it is not always as simple as that. If the calories required to get to 200lbs is...

Here is a link to the intermediate routine:

If you scroll down there is a link to an Excel spreadsheet in which you input your...

Really? I find that 5 reps of deadlifts at my top weight drains almost all the energy out of me. It has done this consistently for the past two years. Doing deadlifts on a 5x5 routine leaves me more...

140kg x 5 a couple of weeks ago @ 70kg bw.
Most I've ever lifted was 155kgx2 at 75kg bw.
Unfortunatly my lifts have stalled for the last year or so.

Whatever feels comfortable. I typically use a slightly wider than shoulder width grip. I think that a wider grip involves more back and less biceps and vice versa for a narrower grip.

I have a question about this. If you are doing, say, a 5x5 routine and start off with weights below your 5 rep max and gradually increase using linear progression then eventually you will reach the...

I have been training for about 3 years and have been trying powerlifting style training for about 1 year. I am 6' 160lbs and eat around 3000-3500 cals/day. I am really frustrated with my bench as I...

Your lifts are very similar to mine. Last week I deadlifted 145kg x 5 and squatted 105kg x 5. My bench, however, is awful. Today I struggled with 70kg for one rep.

I don't agree with this. If you are a skinny ectomorph you can't just decide "oh I'm going to work up to 10,000 cals/day and get to 300+lbs" it just doesn't work like that. I know that if I tried to...

I wonder how much he eats to maintain that biodyweight. If you weigh 550lbs, just walking around must require huge amounts of energy.

If you want to compete go for it. It'll be a good experience.

Have you ever heard of Newtons third law:

"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction"

Thus if you have 400lbs on your shoulder and you exert 100lbs of upward force on the bar then that is...

Three reasons:

1. Not enough free evenings in the week to fit three sessions in.
2. My trainer can usually only manage mornings.
3. My training sessions usually coincide with a couple of...

I have been doing a powerlifting type workout for the past few months and have to train at around 7:15am. Normally I have an energy drink and a banana before I go to the gym which I know is not much...

I find it very hard to believe that the average untrained man can benchpress 180lbs. I can't benchpress 180lbs even after training for two years.

I would drop the front raises - the front delt gets hit hard with military and bench pressing so it is not necessary imo to do a isolation exercise for them.

Also you might consider replacing...

I'd be interested to see these studies that show marijuana is less harmful than alcohol.

I'm surprised you're not, to be honest.
