You aren't eating consistently. If you were, you would be gaining weight in some form.

I love how we absurdly talk about "clean" and "dirty" bulk as tho these are two discrete, binary entities.

It's easier to eat more cheat food on a bulk than a cut:

-You can choose to eat...

I'm up on the higher end as well (around 4.0-4.2g protein/kg/d) and I've gained quite a bit in the last three years. My renal function is fine. I keep it high for two reasons:

1. It works for...

Used to hammer my abs like mad 3-4x/wk with nothing to show for it. After getting serious about compound lifts a few sets of decline sit-ups 2x/wk keeps them poking out even during winter months.

Agreed. Closest you can get to directly over the bar minimizing the horizontal moment arm.

Answer is whichever movement you can hold tension in your quads throughout the entire movement. Some people's quads respond to squats quite well. But some of us can squat quite a bit and the quads...

Breath in, tighten everything, and pull

Being tall really only limits your DL if your low back is the weak. Long arms and a long back lever can be an advantage if done properly. (see brian shaw)

6'4 & best pull is 515

Currently RDLing 245 for finishing sets of 8. Finished last conventional DL today with 315 for 9.

So ~3/4

I'm not a great deadlifter, more advanced lifters may have a very different opinion.

Ditto. The traps, pair of rhomboids (and a small part of the lats) all have insertions or origins on the Scapula. If you are properly engaging these muscles your scapula has to, by definition, move...

It's actually an effect your autonomic nervous system has on your blood vessels. When you DL (its worse with squats for me), your intra-abdominal pressure goes through the roof by nature of all your...

Hack squats. Pure torture in the hole.

Thought about posting this in the injury forum, but figured it probably belongs here.

For the seasoned gym rats here, when do you feel compelled to step in and say something when someone is using...

Stength Standards - Google it. (It won't let me post the link since this is only my 33rd post.)

Plug in your numbers. See where you are.

You're good. I'd beg to differ with lucifer on this one. You hit parallel. The adidas stripe is a little misleading.

There's nothing wrong with focusing on your breathing while lifting, as long as you don't lose track of form. I feel like if i started hyperventilating (idk wtf "tons of air" is suppose to mean?) I...

This again. Simply speaking, really the only way to make your waist smaller is losing fat (subcutaneous and visceral). Working any layers of your oblique will make them stronger, tighter, slightly...

No. Biggie Smalls will appear behind you in the mirror.

It may take a bit longer to "perfect" your form as a tall guy when you begin in that you need to develop a little more lower back strength (relative to a shorter guy) to hold the same weight on a...

Keep squatting. Don't listen to juicers.
