    Thanks Stronglifts

    Glad you like my posts. We will never agree on everything. Some don't like low carb diets, some only like high carb diets. Some take sups, some not, whatever. The fact is, and that's what all succesful athletes have in common, we claim the same basic rules: * Lift hard * Lift smart *...

    Question About Weighted Side Bends

    The weight on the bar & the mirror is all that counts. If you train low rep you'll never really experience "the burn" anyway. Train your abs like the rest: heavy, including recovery.

    You could use frozen green veggies & put them in the mixer with your shake. A great recipe is: *whey protein *brocolli *apple *tomato *carots *olive oil *flax seeds The carbs eater, could add some oats. Great way to start the day.

    Am i taking too many supplements?

    I agree with what you say Warboss Alex. Nutritional value is certainly lower than it used to be. If you have the budget (I don't right now), go organic makes a big difference. To me it's weighing the benefits vs. the risks. Maybe eating veggies/fruit doesn't give you all the nutritional...

    A few questions about carb cutting

    Welcome back WBA, The anabolic diet has indeed no veggies/no fruit during the first 14 days, after wards you can eat fruit/veggies (moderated). I don't like the weekend carb loading on the anabolic diet (always turns out in a junk weekend), I go low/non carb all week.

    A few questions about carb cutting

    If you like no carbs, I recommend the Anabolic Diet (Dr Di Pasquale) rather than Atkins. The Anabolic diet: * Get your daily total kcalories from protein & fat * Eat veggies & fruit If you get your daily kcals from protein & fat, you can bulk on the diet & gaining muscle. Actually this kind...

    Can you bulk as a vegetarian?

    1) Men eat meat. 2) You could bulk on a vegetarian diet by eating lots of fats (olive oil, fish oil) if it's allowed (I'm not familiar with vegeterian diets) 3) I'd keep away from soy

    Rest Times Between Sets To Build Muscle

    Depends on your goal. If you go for max attempts, you should use longer rest (3-5mins). On speed work, less than 1 mins. When max strength is not the goal, try doing more work in less time. It's tough at first, but you'll quickly improve.

    What Is This?

    It's not about if the glutes get hard when dong sldl/deep squats (they obviously wil), it's about how much work they perform compared to the lower back/hamstrings. In an efficient system, the glutes should do most of the work (they are one of the strongest muscles, center of force in your...

    Am i taking too many supplements?

    Well it isn't natural. Why don't you try getting all your vitamins/minerals/anti-oxidants/fats/... from food? I'd drop everything except for the fish oil (and maybe whey)

    What Is This?

    It's definitely a sign that something goes wrong at a certain point. Keeping your spine neutral is a start, but it's not a guarantee for a healthy lower back. I urge you to do glute activation work. If your glutes aren't up to par with your lower back/hamstrings, you'll have lower back...

    I get nervous and can't eat

    You can reverse the nervous part, you control it. You can if you want. You should not let a girl interfer with your business. You're in control of your reactions to what happens.
