NOT this

Why dont you try and be helpfull instead of being full of yourself quoting what you think will make you look big and clever. Leave the bro-science outside...

thanks AP, ill give it a go and let you know. :)

Hi all Pro,

I've been training for about a year now and think i need a new routine, i still count myself as a beginner, my 1 rep max for bench is about 200 and my squat 300. My compound lifts have...

Exactly what I was thinking, your not intaking enough quality carbs, your diet needs an overhaul, your taking in a lot of protein but without the carbs and with your current massive routine your not...

Thats my whole point, you have to experiment to learn what your body needs, if you dont get enough calories from carbs, protein and fats you wont gain lean mass. Carbs are an important part of the...

This is very interesting thread, something I have thought about a lot recently.

I was in the same boat earlier in the year, after making lean gains for about 6 months my strengh and size gains...

There have been a few threads on this, my last post below slightly edited.

I had the same problem for about 4 months or so, I saw a physio for a while and he was just taking my cash off me...

I agree if you have good self control you could do the above. However not everyone can, some people are fat for a reason, no/low self control when it comes to food.

I dont think fasting is the...

Agreed

Please dont take my comments as an attack its not meant to be, just my opinions. Insulin spikes are a topic that is taught at Degree level in Nutrition, I don't know what...

There are reasons why people recommend small frequent meals over say.. 3 large meals a day.

Benefits vary, two of the biggest ones are Insulin spikes and also the fact that a lot of people would...

So you've answered your own question in the end! Fair enough.

Misc Snacks
Boiled eggs: are great, add weight, extra cals, and can be taken anywhere once cooked.
Protein Oat bars: make your own, google recipes. Another great snack that with the right...

Yes its ok to do both in one day, many people do full body routine in one day alone hitting all muscles.

And if your worried about not giving your shoulders enough time to recover, just look at...

Firstly I have the same problem as you in terms of available days to train.
I have found that doing shoulders after chest didnt work too well for me, my shoulders would always be overworked after...

Exactly what I was thinking when i read the post. Stick with it, dont rush with adding the weight on your bench. Your body will adjust as will the muscles that are used to stabilise the BB when doing...

I havent looked at the other gainers, but am guessing they probably have a lot of fat/sugars/glucose in them to give all the extra calories as well as the carbs. In fact why do you even need a gainer...

Tis true, its too much for a normal person to do. If you have nothing else to do in the day, so are able to rest and nap and then ensure you have at least 8 hours sleep then maybe you would be able...

Hes spot on, I thought i was a hardgainer as well, same routine as you (although i only do chest once a week now) I increased weight until i hit 155 pounds then just hit a stand still for the past 3...

Your right, you dont want to go crazy on the RC strengh exercises but I would reccomend doing them with a light weight before a work out. The reason for this is that it enables the muscles to...

Hi,

I had the same problem for about 4 months or so, its only just started getting better now. I saw a physio for a while and he was just taking my cash off me basically... massaging it did jack....
