I find it highly unlikely that had anything to do with it, unless you have genetic cholesterol disorders. there's guys knocking back 2-3 dozen eggs a day and their cholesterol is in perfect order. the ingestion of dietary cholesterol should, if you are healthy, reduce your own levels or keep...

you THINK you have high cholesterol or you actually do? exercise, a high fibre diet, weight loss (if applicable), no refined carbs and low carbs in general, and at least a moderate fat intake will reduce your cholesterol. get some bloodwork if you think your cholesterol is high

agreed. there's no issue with the guy's program or diet or his results (I have seen crazier results happen than what he's claiming), just the terminology he uses. to say he's a hardgainer is insulting true hardgainers :) lots of people mistake being hardgainers for just not eating or...

I agree, you're on the right track and much more consistent than most guys your age. Keep it up! I would do high rep squats instead of the horizontal leg press though. If you have only limited amounts of red meat I'd have it pre workout - beef before the workout will give you a more aggressive...

it's normal for your legs to be sore for a few days after high rep squats but you should be recovered in time for the next squat workout a week later. stretching and cardio will help as will a consistent diet. if your legs are still sore after a week then you got recovery issues we'll address...

eat cheese omelettes 4x a day, they're cheap as anything

no worries about the missed exercise. diet is way more important at the moment I'm dieting myself and I didn't do any cardio today either :D

think of it this way: you did everything right from a nutritional sense, if you hadn't, maybe you wouldn't have been able to get through this as well as you have done. how many people with cancer can say they got over it in in less than 4 months and were back weightlifting soon after it...

make your mind up. 17lbs in 4 weeks is pretty damn good genetics. a true hardgainer would have trouble putting on 17lbs in a year. :)

no-one on this thread has is ever going to get 'too big' so I don't see what you guys are worrying about. :D

define 'have not responded to squats in the past'. if you want to make the leg press harder, pause each rep. (drop the weight though) and make sure your knees are nearly touching your armpits. your 5lb gain in less than 2 weeks is gonna be mostly water from the carbs you're eating. it's hard...

fuzzx: fortunately, Wolf is on the road to recovery :) he'll be back throwing about the iron like a good 'un before you know it.

my point exactly - you gained 30lbs in 2 years (which is a great gain btw) but you're not at your ideal yet. I wasn't berating you or anyone for HAVING a target physique or whatever, I just take exception with people talking casually about goals or "I don't want to blow up" or "have a calvin...

green and white tea is absurdly good for you and should ALWAYS be used as a staple of health. google for the benefits if you don't know them. a higher metabolic rate (5% increase with enough tea) = higher recovery times + more fat burned = quicker gains with less fat gain when massing =...

one thing is for sure - anyone who tells someone to "go for x physique" obviously has no idea how much hard work, consistency and TIME will go into achieving in a mildly conditioned physique a la the calvin klein model look unless your genetics are inclined that way and give you a headstart...

your test levels are still pretty high in your 20s. but if you train even semi-regularly you'll be deficient in zinc and magnesium at any age - the 'testosterone boost' thing is a selling point of ZMA where there's a lot more to it than that (and it's not gonna boost your test levels any higher...

Quag, the anterior delts are your front delts. :D

it has nothing to do with your fitness or dietary regime mate.. not your fault. for it to happen to someone so young it's more genetics than anything else. it hasn't come as a result of you abusing your body for years and years. but what's important is that you've caught it early and it's...

why ZMA specifically in your 20s? :|

please explain why.
