Honestly, I was 22 when mine started and no orthropod ever told me I was "too young". If you have been loading that joint for 6 years now, why is it so hard to believe you have developed this...

First post in probably 2 years:

Have had problems with the right shoulder since May '08 and had been training with the issue ever since. I gave it 6 months to resolve on it's own (no chest or...

Why would it not be possible?

Also, why would you want to limit yourself by your weight?

A 5'8" person should probably be around 198-220 eventually to be competitive.

I wouldn't mess around with rack pulling and this and that until your deadlift progress stops. There is no reason to make things more complicated than they are.

Now, if you can't progress with...

What are your goals? Being better at playing football? Then forget a bodypart split.

If your goal is bodybuilding, then sure use a split.

Training specificity.....

This whole argument depends highly on your goals and training level, but this has already been covered in the thread.

Uhhh, at his juncture strength and size are very directly correlated. This is a rather misleading statement.

If he's not pushing the weight up every week, he's probably not growing.

Shirts are for egos? Listen, I personally don't like bench shirts at all, I don't use one. At the same time, when you're putting that much of a load on the body AKA 600+ raw bench you're bound to run...

You have no idea how a bench shirt or squat suit works. Please don't try to spout off nonsense that you clearly know nothing about.

All I'm saying is, nobody knows what is 'efficient' for his body type and leverages. There is obviously a reason the bar breaks the floor where it does...because he's generating the most force at...

6 days seems a little excessive, what's your training look like?

You weigh 130 pounds man. You're small. You think people "get bulky" over night? Do you realize how many people try to gain size and "can't" or have problems. I even hear girls saying they don't want...

Pulling from a 3" deficit makes getting the hips down a little bit harder than pulling from the floor, I think we can agree upon that.

Also, the guy pulls 800+, I'm pretty sure he knows more about...

What is 5x5 at a steady?

Muscle? Where?

This thread is a joke. If you want to look like you haven't eaten in a week, then do it. Eat very litte and do cardio every damn day. No lifting is needed to look like this guy.
...

If the 5x5 routine is 5 sets of straight weight, then that will probably yield more of a grow, but if it's the Intermediate 5x5 with ramped sets, then the 3x8 is more workload.

You need to train...

If you're talking about mass building, then yes under-eating is the main thing.

More deep than that is people will go into the gym week in and week out and never progress size or strength wise....

Show me somebody that the 5x5, 'Westside' (which is only "Westside" if you train there), or SS doesn't work for.

IA, it takes a certain kind of person to actually care and track what has worked...
