As long as you're eating, I'd say you're fine. Eating nutritious food is great. Starving yourself is not.

The yolk isn't a fetus. It's what a fetus would feed on in the egg if there was a fetus. The eggs you eat aren't fertilized and therefor have no fetus.

No. Any fat loss due to crunches is minimal unless you do so many that it becomes a cardio session...

To lose fat, change your diet and do cardio.


P.S. I was joking about crunches being...

I don't think there's anything wrong with doing back/tris and chest/bis. I do it myself. Just because it puts alternating muscles together doesn't make it ineffective. I find I can do more...

I work out at home with a standard bench and free weights. This works really well for me most of the time, but for quad work, I find it hard to come up with enough stuff to do.

I do leg...

I actually find it easier to workout in bad weather, because I'm not tempted to spend all my time outside in sunshine.

I've just recently (3 weeks ago) switched from a workout routine (3 day split) that didn't work my shoulders very much to a new routine (4 day split) with much more shoulder work. The problem is my...

Not at all. Read the stickies, learn a little about lifting. You don't want to work the same muscle every day, and you definitely dont want to just work one muscle period. Diversify, make a split....

There are some studies out there on the effects of creatine use. Check Google. Not a lot of it is directly with teens, but it should give you some info.

Long term research information is more...

Could be nutrition or a plateau.

For the former: Eat more, eat better, etc. You've heard it all before.

For the latter: Change up your routine. Try something drastically different. Rebuild...

Also, do exercises to build strength in your back. Try deads (w/ proper form), supermans, rows (more middle and upper back than you want probably).

Seems logical that the wrist would be a good indicator of your bone thickness. Since there is no muscle there, it's easy to see how big your bones are without anything but skin over them. I guess...

Also good^

I can't believe any of you are taking this guy seriously. He posts like this all the time, and its all a load of ****.

Good idea on the shoulders.

I use a 4 day split:

chest/biceps
quads/calves
back/triceps
shoulders/hams

I forgot to mention you didn't list and direct calf work. Most leg exercises work...

You're hitting the two biggest upper body muscle groups (back, chest) on the same day, which isn't the greatest idea. If I were you, I would work them on seperate days each with an arm group...

Thats about what I used to do on my chest day workout. I have since changed to a chest/bicep, back/tricep style split. I wouldn't call that overtraining unless you're doing it more than 1 or 2...

Try reading the stickies and articles to help you craft a split that will work for you. Concentrating all on a couple of muscles wont help you much, especially if you are overtraining.

If you replace with dumbbells as suggested above, be sure to keep consistent form with both arms, otherwise you're not helping any.
