I've got Crohn's and am wondering who told you not to use caffeine?

If anything, caffeine has helped me into the deepest bout of remission I've been in since I was diagnosed. I pretty much feel...

You sure have "dabbled" in a LOT of things.

Agree. Beer isn't near as bad for you as people would like you to believe. Alcohol IS poison to your system, but a few brews on the weekend isn't going to quash four or five hours of work in the...

You hate squats, or you can't medically do them? I hate squats too, but I make myself do them every week. I think you can grow without them, but you won't see as dramatic of a change unless you...

All he did was sit-ups and push-ups? No sports, or lower body workout?

I was pretty cut and buff before I ever started SERIOUS lifting (back when I was in highschool). Basically I played sports...

Get those wide grips in!

When I started doing them, I couldn't do one set of ten. Now I can do five sets of ten.

Do what you can, eventually you'll work up to getting them done.

The worst...

ALL YOUR CLUB HAS?!!!

I'd be finding a new club if I were you. A squat rack is one of the absolute most BASIC devices a weight room needs. How do they even claim to be a gym without one?
...

5 minutes on the Roman Chair to start every workout.

Done.

Heck, some people (including body builders) don't train their abs at all (or very little).

You can do 1,000,000 sit-ups a day, but if you've got a layer of fat covering them nobody will see them anyways.

That's why I laugh when I see these "five minutes a day to the ultimate abs with...

My advice:

1) Stay off a scale! It doesn't matter what you weigh, you're going for a look anyway. If you want to have your BF% tested, stick with that. I just don't see a point to a scale,...

What kind of lifting are you doing on those 4 days a week?

Heavy weight, light weight, high rep, low rep, high sets, low sets, etc.

Have you worked five days a week for 14 months straight? If you have, you might need to take a week or two off. Don't even look at a DB or a gym. I take at least one COMPLETE week off every six to...

Try using Non-Drowsy Dramimine before you work out. I bet it would help.

LOL! I use a 12 inch kitchen knife to make myself puke everyday... but I'm TOTALLY hard core like Arnold :)
Arnie always said, "A little blood never hurt anyone" ;)


I get a head rush sometimes...

I agree Anabolik, I should have said that I take Arnold's "Advanced II" one day workout and break it up into a four day split.

evil, if you want to see some gains do that. Buy Arnold's book. If...

I alternate DB and BB benchs.

This week I did DB flat, BB inclines, and DB declines.

Next week I'll do BB flat, DB incline, and BB decline.

It wasn't muscle soreness. It was the kind of back pain where... if I moved wrong, I would lose my breath, you know like nerve type pain. Believe me, I know it wasn't right.

I know it sounds...

You need to buy a book. There's WAAAAAAAY more to it then just eating more then you need, and lifting.

Do some research before jumping into anything.

You do FULL body 3X a week?

It will help in the short term, but you'll quickly over train (or at the very least, plateau). I know, I did the same thing for the first year I trained. I saw decent...

I ALWAYS pyramid.

Try it.
