I can post one of the chins & dips since that's all I do that's 'impressive' ... I'm terrible w tech but I should be able to record one from my iPhone and post it fairly easily right?!!? any...

Those threads made me laugh so I joined in ... just messing around - maybe it wasn't funny; and yeah ... posting in those threads is/was a total waste of time, childish for sure.

yep - If I didn't eat the kids left-overs I'd be shredded ;-)

Whether you read Chad Waterbury, Charles Staley, Alwyn Cosgrove, John Berrardi, anyone over at T-Nation, Arnold Schwarz, etc. etc.
it seems that the following 'hacks' are true:

agreed - Creatine is a staple imo ...
not sure why anyone would not continue with creatine regardless of their goals (cut vs. bulk)

Chins & dips w 70lbs on the belt for 5 reps each.
80lbs db bench and rows 5 reps each, standing push press (bb) w total 90lbs, bb squats,...

Read the sticky on creatine in the supplements section of the forums.

While not on creatine...

Supplements to consider:
Whey, Creatine, Beta-Alanine, Fish Oil (and/or other Omega 3 sources such as ground flaxseed), Vitamin D3 ... possibly some trace minerals like zinc & magnesium (consider...
