If you're working with a home gym and are concerned about bar longevity, it's also easier on your equipment to do block pulls than rack pulls. If you're at a commercial gym, you may not care as much,...

You're going to need to eat more no matter what, and it's going to be difficult.

If yhe servings you're looking at are too big, try breaking them into two smaller meals spaced an hour or two...

Upstate is a big place - I'm in upstate new york too, but it would take me at least 6 hours drive to reach where OP is visiting.

How mobile are you OP? There are a couple places in rochester, but...

That's a good bit of back work and is recommended in the 70sbig versions of Texas Method. They also push RDL's on monday instead of good mornings.

Your mistake is in thinking that these two types of hypertrophy are perfectly exclusive to one another.

A larger muscle has potential to be a stronger muscle than a smaller muscle, sarcoplasmic...

The two body types you mentioned are easily separated by 60 pounds if the two actors were the same height, so I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for here. PHAT is a decent routine, but it...

Did you actually read the book? This is all in there.

Each lift in each workout is prescribed with a range of sets and reps, so while you may not progress in weight every microcycle, you can...

it's an ebook written by Jamie Lewis, the guy who started Chaos & Pain.

If you're talking about the intermediate version, you're supposed to run it for 6 weeks (3 microcycles) and then retest...

YOu might have trouble with linear gains on bench, but you very likely can still make them on the squat and/or deadlift. If you want to try a linear program, candito's beginner or a greyskull routine...

The answer is supposed to be "when you stop progressing on 5x5 workouts even though you're eating and sleeping enough" but the more realistic answer is "when people get bored and think they're more...

ideally when you're new to powerlifting you'll increase the amount of weight you're using for a lift every time you perform that lift; this is called linear progression. So if today you did 60kg...

Not sure I would try to structure my program and then fit powerlifting work in around it; you'll have an easier time doing it the other way round.
For great powerlifting programs that you can build...

Probably. What's your definition of intermediate?

I think that was my favorite version of the routine. I'm currently doing a push/pull/legs where I take 45 seconds to 1 minute between compounds and 15-30 seconds between isolations, but I'm only...

Been there, still am. Started lifting when I was 6'4/135 lbs. Gained an average of about 15 lbs a year since I started, currently 215 with around 13% bf. Would like to be a 242 some day, but that day...

This. If you read some of Justin Lascek's texas method stuff, the idea of VD is to use the least possible amount of weight to still get a stimulus that lets you progress your ID, for recovery...

No, cheap metal 45's are just smaller diameter than competition rogue bumpers (the blue 45's that are first on the bar.)

It's 8x45 plus a 10, 5, and 2.5 (per side). 755 lbs + 45 lb bar.

I think theyre nanos.

He took texas method, and made bench/squat be on separate days, then added some very well established accessories. It's not like this routine is completely out of left field.

Anyway, @OP like...

Currently using Iron Pro on my iPhone. I tried most of the others mentioned so far in this thread, as well as others not mentioned, and they ranged from "meh" to "good enough" - in particular, I...
