Agreed, multivitamins do nothing except give you expensive pee. If you have a decent diet you get more than enough vitamins already.

The advice you have been given is to choose a full body routine like All Pro's or SS. It is the advice that everyone who posts threads like yours gets (and there are hundreds of almost identical...

Looks like your spreadsheet is rounding down to nearest 5kg, which is not ideal.

^^^^This. Except for the vitamin advice imo. Spending money on vitamins, especially the ultra high doses, does nothing except give you expensive p*ss.

Well you are correct that the received wisdom you will find here and on most body building resources will contradict the research you mention. That's the problem though, there's so much dogma flying...

I'm no expert, but I would say just reduce the weight if it hurts. Start light and build back up slowly to where you are now. Also maybe stretch properly before back excercises.

Because stickies cover the basics, which everyone should understand before they start lifting if they want to take it seriously. There are hundreds of posts from new lifters who have not bothered to...

The Madcow 5x5 DOES have the option of including Bicep Curls, Dips and Tricep Extensions on Fridays workout.

Thanks for the advice, if you are looking at the stats on my Body Space, they are old. I have made a little progress since then, not a huge amount though. I am well aware that a full body routine is...

I'm currently on the Madcow 5x5, having previously done All Pro's beginner routine and have made some reasonable strength gains but feel like switching it up a bit and fancy doing a ABA style,...

Maybe it would help i you explained what your routine actually consists of.

No, just stick to the routine as written. If you read through the dedicated threads relating to this routine you will find that this question, and many others you may have, are answered numerous...

Agree with this and can recommend Madcow 5x5.

This is my last post in this ridiculous thread, I am getting very bored with it.

I am not trying to turn the argument around to anything, all I have ever said is that milk is very helpful for...

Yawn..what was the point of yours?

Yes, roughly, It's also what I have been saying the whole thread, I don't really understand why he feels the need to argue with me!

Firstly, the maintenance caloric requirement of a lightly active, 120lb, 5'4" woman my age is about 1613 Kcals according to the Mifflin-St Joer method, so if you're using a different source we're not...

I guess the reason we're slim is partly due to the fact that our appetite's are naturally not that large. I feel like I eat loads, and everyone I work with jokes that I am constantly eating or hunry,...

Mate, you are a douche!

You clearly have no trouble eating your calories, well done to you. Plenty of other people do. Milk is an easy way to make up these calories. None of this is controversial....

I find that drinking whole milk is essential for me when trying to hit my target for calories. I have calculated that I need 3296 kcals per day for a fairly slow bulk, and I find it practically...
