I don't think I was clear enough in my post...I was being sarcastic! I'm all for using the SM no matter what people think.

I'm on your side, dad...I mean, Dutch ;)

The main disadvantages are mainly...

1. Lack of freedom of movement
2. Less development of balance during exercise
3. Relying totally on SM may make it more difficult to do free weight exercises...

Don't become so obsessed with bodybuilding that it intereferes or takes time away from other important areas of your life, e.g., your wife, children, other long term personal goals.

BBLous, what you describes is typical for a retinal migraine. If you get a headache afterwards, we say you have an ophthalmic migraine. I'm an optometrist and I get several patients with these per...

If you can't go to a gym, do the P90X. It will help you build strength and flexibility for now. If/when you get to a plateau point in a couple of years, hopefully you will be able to join a gym. ...

I don't think it makes too much of a difference anyway because 90% of people who "workout" don't even do them. So in my opinion, either way is fine. As long as your doing some type of squating...

If you lower your calories enough you will go into ketosis. Once your body burns the carbs you've eaten or stored, it will start burning the fat (ketosis). You don't have to be on a "ketogenic"...

I used to bench that way, until I saw a video of a guy nearly kill himself when the barbell slipped off and landed on his chest. I don't do it anymore. Gotta use the thumbs to be safe!

1. Read as much as you can about exercise, losing weight, weight training, etc and find a good program to follow.
2. In the begining of your diet, measure out your food so you know exactly how many...

I took some Hydroxycut Hardcore a couple years ago. I started out with one pill, then 2, then three, quicker than the directions reccommend. AFter taking 3, my heart was pounding and I thought I...

The Velocity Diet is a "short term" diet to be used for 30 days or less. Because it is virtually a liquid diet, you may lose a lot of fat, but you're also going to lose a lot of muscle. The...

I've read the diet DK and it's not a good one!

The Velocity diet is crazy. I believe it is designed for people who only need to shed 5 or 10lbs to get ripped. You should look into the Keto diet.

You are not doing DC training, but I checked out your profile and you seem to be doing well whatever you are doing. As long as you are making continuous progress the how's and why's aren't that...

Your body will pull fat off smaller areas first, like your face. The love handles will be THE last place you will lose fat from. You have to lose ALL fat before the love handles are gone. It will...

This is the thread I was trying to post a reply to earlier, BritLifter. Sorry for the confusion.

Again, my question was did you change your diet from the time training A. Jones/Mentzer to using a...

Britlifter, I was wondering if you changed your eating habits when changing from HIT to the Periodization routine? And if that might have been part of a reason for the difference in additional...

He's right. You have to be at about 8% to start having abs.

Here's a great snack high in good fats, protein, and moderate carbs (lots of fiber).

1. Always wear clean clothes to the gym.
2. Use Anti-perspirant/Deodarant, not just a "deodorant". You need to stop the armpit sweating, not just hide the smell.
3. Eat less fish, take less fish...
