Don't ever try to use your fats to meet your protein macros; there's too much calories in fat. Use your fats to meet your fat macros and add on the little bit of protein to your protein count. But if...

^^^^ This. Add all the Internet broscience and it makes a lot of people wonder how bodybuilders "can ever get lean without intermittent fasting" or "can bulk clean without carb back loading".

Changing your lifestyle's the most important thing because it's a marathon, not a sprint. The most common mistake I see is calories are not tracked properly; when people think they're taking in 1300,...

Maybe the title of the thread is misleading: you can't feel soreness in your chest after you lift (DOMS), you can't feel your chest muscle contracting while you're benching (it's not working), or you...

If you're worried about your knees, focus less on how deep you're going, and focus more on how you're tightening your abs, using your gluts effectively (tighten those buns), and using your hips to...

Necessary... for what? What are you trying to achieve? Develop abdominal strength, size, or to look good for the ladies? They're not *necessary* for any of those. I'd definitely do deadlifts and...

I'd take out Carnitine/Yohimbine and add in Creatine. Don't worry about the water weight it adds - you're trying to burn fat, not lose pounds on a scale.

I think he's taking caffeine pre-workout...

I wanna go in at 165 but there's just too many 165ers to hunt down and smash their knees in order for me to win... so I'm out. Will be watching the beasts though.

It looks good too beside one of the cross-fitters doing 2 plate squats in the rack beside you.

I like that. What's interesting is, the Activity Level is often where people get thrown off when calculating their maintenance calories. I think it gets over-estimated quite a bit; a guy goes to the...

Changing up programs has always helped me get past plateaus. Mind you I'm not a heavy bencher - I've gotten to 335 for 1 rep - but switching up programs not only for my chest, but for my shoulders...

My experience with preworkouts is that the effect diminishes over time and switching to a different preworkout with other stimulants doesn't help much. I'd get off preworkouts (ie. stimulants)...

Whoa. 2000g is a lot of donuts :) Good work. My refeeds usually consist of beer ;)

Yeah most new guys are scared of 'putting on too much muscle'. Trust me, that's a good problem to have, and also a very difficult problem to have.

My favorites are flat bench, incline bench,...

Jesus - I thought I was starting to get cut today until I saw your pics. Looks awesome. I like the mass you retained. You took these pics before any type of carb load, right? (meaning, were you still...

Yeah - why do you feel you need to lift everyday? Your gains are coming during rest and recovery. If your diet is on par and you're following a good program and progressively loading, you shouldn't...

Starting out working out is not difficult - there's a million reasons to try it out. That's why gyms sell all their memberships in the first 3 months of the year while everyone's making their New...

You can skip ONE leg day, but don't take it out of your routine. If anything, you won't be getting the boost in HGH from doing heavy squats. You can't train back and chest everyday anyway; just do...

Another suggestion for immediate gains to your bench (and reduce injuries) - work on your technique and grip. Search around here on proper technique. Mike O'Hearn had an article a video a while back...

If you have time I prefer flat barbell with incline dumbbells. The barbell simply cannot go as low as the dumbbells can, so it hits different parts of the chest. I say 'if you have time' because to...
