So will fat eventually come off everywhere the leaner we get? I know different people store fat differently. At what body fat % do you usually see an outline of 6 pack abs?

Also why do you see...

So we all know how when we sit down, the fat that sits near the stomach and lower ribs will fold significantly. At what BF% does this folding go away?

Because rhabdomyolysis is a severe form of muscle fever if I'm not mistaken.

The pain was so severe- nothing I've ever experienced before. It's not the pain which you normally feel within 24-48...

Hey guys I'm not over the age of 35 but I thought this subforum was the best place to ask because I would guess that teens don't know much about rhabdomyolysis and muscle fever.

So I haven't...

Let's say you worked out chest and triceps on Monday. Should you do back and biceps on Tuesday or Wednesday? Luimarco says he prefers to rest between workouts (2 days) before hitting another muscle...

How much protein powder should I use on and off days?

So I just bought a brand which has Pharmatech micronized creatine which is HPLC tested. I heard Creapure is the best because it's more "official". I know Creapure is a German company which has a good...

That study makes no sense:

Instead of insulting me, I want an explanation as to why creatine increases lean muscle mass. Creatine works by increasing ATP synthesis which increase energy levels and hence strength. It also...

Your legs are proportionately bigger than your upper body.

Bump.

Yeah but the question is, how does creatine promote hypertrophy? Yes I have read the stickies but I still don't understand. All it does is retain water in muscle... this isn't hypertrophy.

Your "smartest doctor" probably has low testosterone.

So I heard that protein and creatine are both beneficial for gaining muscle. But what is more important for hypertrophy?

If you absolutely had to choose, which one would you pick and why?

So what's better for hypertrophy, 3 sets or 4 sets per exercise?

I use the handles on the far sides (not the inner ones). I assume that is wide grip since that's the widest one available.

I perform the pull-up using overhand (with all fingers including the...

So I've done pull-ups. Assisted pull-ups because I'm quite heavy and gained a few pounds while on a bulk. I have to use about 45lb on assisted pull-up machine.

Whenever I go lower than 45lb (that...

So I know that a lot of people use creatine for building muscle. I mean it all sounds good but I'm a bit concerned with the safety of creatine and withdrawal effects. For example, lets say you used...

How about the seated shoulder press?

What's better for hypertrophy? Dumbbells or barbells?

So barbells usually allow you do more weight. However I heard that it doesn't use stabilizer muscles.

On the other hand, I heard that dumbbells mean you have to use less weight. But you use more...
