I'm planning to give the second routine a shot.

I started on Starting Strength (ran it for 9 months), then ran Linear 5x5 for another 8-9 months .. and over the last almost 6 months I've been...

Why not just control your fat loss via your diet? This would ensure that your muscles would have ample time to recover without any added stress of cardio. Having said that, if you're keen on...

This is a good bench, mate. When I was equipping my home gym a year or so ago it was down to either the Ironmaster or Bodycraft F320. I ended up going with the F320 because of the way it moves when...

It depends how your routine is structured, but some great free weight exercises for legs include:

Squats (back squat, hack squat, box squat, front squat) - various stances (narrow, medium, wide),...

Ryan, your video post in regard to low volume/high intensity/high frequency for strength training and high volume/medium-high intensity/low-medium frequency for size makes sense.

I'm a firm...

Use chalk, it helps immensely. Failing that, use straps. Try to train your grip strength some more though, either way.

Ryan, can you give an overview on your thoughts (and some of the research behind it) about frequency of training?

I have read quite a bit that higher frequency training produces better results...

What the guy above me said - not sure what you want us to help you decide on.

Bodyfat is around 10-15% mark, it's hard to tell as your abs aren't well developed yet. If you need help deciding...

More compound movements are needed for your complexes. Try to base it off movements from your actual workouts to focus on form and mind muscle connection.

Lifts like deadlift, squat, bench, mil...

I've got some questions about weak point training - it is 2-4 sets x 10-20 reps for weak point exercises .. does this set/rep scheme rotate week to week, or stay constant? And by 10-20, does that...

I just got the eBook last night, starting my program today. I'll likely start up a training journal, but will post in here every once in a while with an update.

Program looks solid, my only...

The physical activity readiness questionnaire (PAR-Q) is a self-screening tool that can be used by anyone who is planning...

If your bodyweight is increasing weekly and you have stalled/reset three times, then it is time to move on.

If you are stalling/resetting, but bodyweight is not increasing, you need to eat more -...

White Flood always used to make me **** about 15-20 minutes after it when I took it without food. I didn't mind this too much, but I made sure to have adequate food with it if I didn't feel like...

If you're gaining weight each week then I'd be confident in saying it's not an issue with food.

You might need to get more rest though, but it's quite likely a deload week is necessary. On...

This kind of diet exists, it is just calorie cycling.

It's really just another way to achieving your goals, but I think the most important factor at the end of the week will be your calorie...

I find 5 sets of 5 (to complete all reps) tends to be my 7-8RM. Start with your 8-9RM and up the weight workout to workout until you're on target (should only need one or two increases of 5lbs to...

This - studies have definitely shown doses as low as 1-3g to blunt cortisol, particularly after training.

I take 3g throughout the day - divided into three doses with meals.

The chewable...

I'm clean bulking right now. I'm aiming to gain 1.3lbs per month (~4500 cals over maintenance per month / about 150 cals over maintenance per day).

This has been great at limiting fat gains and...

I've tried 1MR, White Flood, Superpump 250, NO Xplode, and now I'm running my own bulk powder pre-workout supplement (Taurine, Caffeine, Citrulline Malate, Creatine, Beta Alanine). You know what? I...
