Agree with others that its over training. Too many max intensity sessions in a row. I use too allways train for max weight I could do and gradually saw my weight go down over time from 8 times 315...
In my younger years when I was quite a bit leaner I had a number of arguments with other people (usually at the gym) that I just could not convince that I did not use steroids. At the end of the day...
I know what you mean about the taste. I'm eating a meal with much olive oil in it right now and its quite yummy though. I think its just a matter of finding the right foods to combine it with.
Thanks Titania. The wierd name is because when BodySpace first came out I wasn't serious about putting up a profile so just typed in "test account" as in this is only a temporary account. It then...
No it doesn't work that way in my experience. I amazed at how many people think if they stop working out for a week their muscles will shrival up. I only work out once a week myself at the best of...
Been lifting consistently week in week out since a week after my 19th birthday. Will be turning 40 in 3 months. Have no injuries that effect me in everyday life. Only when I put well beyond everyday...
I had an inguinal hernia on the left side laparoscopicly repaired with mesh (no staples) and it worked well, no problems to this day. You certainly made the right choice regarding repair method, only...

Ages ago, I can't remember exactly, maybe 15 years ago (been training for 20), I partialy tore my left pec (according to the therapist I saw it wasn't full torn). It took me four years before I could...
Its not cheating because you are not competing you are simply trying to gauge whether your weight is going up or down, so for consistancy you need to do it under the same circumstances. Personally I...
I think you are less than 18% BF. I think your 1.5% gain in BF was likely measurement repeatability error (water content etc will effect reading if use electrical resistance method). Take a...
I personally hit my strength peak seven years ago when I was 33 at which time I could bench 365 lb for 3 reps (When I started training at 19 I could barely bench 75 lb). I'd been benching 315 for...
