Hi guys, I just have a quick question on symmetry that maybe you could help me out with.

My left and right bicep are pretty far off from each other. My right bicep is clearly much bigger (about .5...

This. You can do both as long as you have sufficient body fat AND a large amount of unrealized muscular potential. Even when bulking, putting on muscle makes you leaner than you would otherwise be at...

Depends on what how advanced you are a lifter. If you have just been slouching around, then you could potentially do alittle bit of both simply by getting your ass back in the gym and pumping some...

I could give you the perfect split routine ever in the history of bodybuilding, that every pro in the world uses, but if you don't understand how to implement it it is all for moot. Just find a...

Clean up the rest of your diet according to Rip's standards (four meals a day of lean Protein/Carbs) before you jump into GOMAD. You will probably see an improvement in composition simply by...

I think West Side for Skinny Bastards suits you perfectly, despite not being a skinny bastard.

The whole size without strength dogma is absolute B.S. With GVT you will gain strength working with the 10 rep scheme. So your 10 RM will go up, your 1 RM might not go up as much as a more "strength...

Number one. You aren't going to do 5 sets of 5 reps at your 5RM. What you are suggesting is looking like its going to turn into 8 sets of singles. Which is not high volume.

To me the word...

Higher reps/volume
4 straight sets of 8-12 reps

I'm going to be straight to the point on this one. The biggest problem that I see with beginners at the gym, is they only listen to other beginners. It's like they speak their own language on how to...

It has nothing to do with too much volume and everything to do with too little intensity. Your heart is in the right place, but you have to understand that not all reps are created equal.
You are...

Correlation does NOT prove causation. Noobies who stay small at the gym are probably the same guys who use awful form, randomly roam from exercise to exercise, do more machines than free weights,...

60 inches is pretty close to impossible. Top NBA stars don't even break 50'.

It's not that they don't need it, its that if they were lifting correctly they wouldn't be doing 25-40 sets in the first place as beginners. Most guys try to make up for effort and intensity with...

There isn't and I wouldn't even do 4-8 reps. 8-12 reps causes far more muscle fatigue than 4 reps ever would. If size is strictly your goal that is.

If muscle mass is your goal, try keeping your weight constant, and increasing your volume at that weight. For instance you say you are using 255 for 3 sets of 8, try to increase that to four sets....

I wouldn't do supersets if you haven't been lifting for 5 years +. This will not improve your muscle size as a beginner. Find a beginner's program and stick to it. You will see much greater results,...

False. Each individual's own anatomical leverage will dictate that in certain movements, one muscle will dominate of the other muscles. If this is not compensated for this will lead to muscle...

yikes, thats alot of volume. Hitting shoulders the day after hitting chest? not optimal.

As a beginner you're goal should be to train the muscles to lift weight. Sounds stupid, but believe me....

Pretty decent, might want to do deads with your back day though.

But it's really all about what you put into it. Intensity and form are two very important factors here. You'd be better off with...
