Oh my god man! That is almost unbelievable what you accomplished in just 3 months! What was your starting and ending body fat %?? And if you had to guess, how many cals did you eat a day?...

Yeah? I'll have to give those a try as well! Thanks!

Wow! That workout sounds amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to write it all out! Question: How do I focus my dips on tricep or chest? I'm not sure I understand what that means. I know...

Thanks for the advice bro! But I do plan on hitting my legs too, im not like most guys that wanna get buff and only do arms and chest. I want to increase the strength of my whole body as a whole...

First off, congrats on your success man! Question though, Did you lose, maintain, or gain lean muscle mass during this transformation?? I'm very interested in this topic!

All pros? Okay will do, sir! Thank you!

DAMN! So many intense sounding squats you're naming off hahaha! And what do you think would be more optimal though? Dumbbell or barbell for deadlifts/squats?

Alright man thanks! I'll take your advice and go for 5x5s instead! You do make a good point about easier to gain strength rather than gain size while cutting.

Alrighty!

Thanks man! I really really do want to get into squats/deadlifts. Never done em before in my life! I watched the deadlift videos too! They helped me, also, idk if you have, but you should watch his...

Should I be doing squats and deadlifts inside a power rack??

Working legs with dumbbells can be more challenging, however. What are the heaviest dumbbells in your gym?[/QUOTE]

I'll check that out! And I'm not completely sure how high the weight of the...

You made a very good point my friend. I just thought that 8-10 reps meant more muscle mass while 5 reps meant mainly strength. But to be honest, 5x5 does seem more logical. In order for you to be...

[QUOTE=CamLeslie;985373283]Check this video. See what you think. From what you've said it sounds like you don't have much muscle, but also some fat.



Thank you for providing that video! It was...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't smith machines the things with cables connected to the bar? Yeah I'm more of a fan of natural motion and free weights. Thank you for your input on avoiding smith...

[QUOTE=PaulRivers;985275043]Just wanted to a +1 that this is the generally accepted consensus. The point of a power rack is to allow you to work out with a barbell, alone, without spotters - as long...

Haha! Well thanks man! I'm always open for any advice to help me come closer to my goals!

Thank you jtaliani! And yes, dumbbell training is actually my main go to for workouts because I hear they are great for learning form and working on stabilizer muscles. Yesterday I actually did...

I'm more so going for muscular mass rather than strength. Like I've heard 5x5 is more for power and strength while 3x8-10 is for building mass. One I get leaned out and have some mass, then I would...

Hell yeah man! I'm stoked for getting into weightlifting. And yeah I'll definitely look into deadlifts and squats. I think my gym has a powerrack thingamajig that I could probably learn to use. I...
