So last semester I mostly concentrated on getting stronger and bulking up and while I've seen some great strength gains some unwanted fat has piled up in the process. I really didn't do that much cardio maybe once a week and the occasional pick-up game but I've gained 15 pounds and it is...

Do any of you just pee out most of your multivitamin? When I take one it looks like yellow gatorade with all those excess vitamins lol.

Pain of regret or pain of discipline... take your pick.

So early morning or post workout cardio would both allow for losing fat but also continuing to get stronger? How long should a session be?

I read in a couple places that doing cardio after a weights session helps to burn fat because the weights use up all your glycogen so the cardio goes straight to burning fat. Is this true and would doing so harm muscle gains in the weight room?

I would say mid-point, once I get to that point I can usually lock it out and if I don't I can hold it just above my chest for a long time.

2 months ago I could do 185 4 times now I can do 195 4 or 5 times. My friend has made a lot more progress, 135 to 185, over the same time span. He doesnt pay attention to protein as much or squat but he is in good shape conditioning wise and has huge biceps and triceps... would being in better...

I'm really plateauing on my bench press right now... all of my other lifts, including squat and deadlift have been seeing good progress for the last 2 months but the bench is really lagging behind. I eat enough protein so I'm sure that is not the problem. My current program is lifting 4x a...

Yeah it's just a quick jog then walk a couple three laps to cool down until im rested enough to lift. Is that enough time in between to make them different sessions and if not how much down time does that require?

I am in pathetic shape as far as conditioning goes and I really want to improve on this but also want to continue to see gains in the weight room. If I continue to lift and eat to gain muscle mass, but just add a jog before the workout and take time to recover before lifting would that hinder...

The supplement companies and the websites/magazines they sponsor will always say you need a higher amount of protein than an organization like the ACSM or APS because they want to sell you more protein supplements. Both sides have credible sources so you just need to see what works for you...

Sry I didn't phrase the question well for what I wanted to know.... I lift total body 3x a week and I was wondering if what I was doing was sufficiently covering the legs and back even though I don't deadlift. I was wondering if deadlift would better work those muscles and if I add it into my...

If I do squats, t-bar rows and overhead press as part of a total body workout day is deadlifting necessary for back and leg development or am I hitting the muscles well enough?

Text messages???

I've noticed as I've gotten more social and confident that some of my closest friends are really disrespectful to me at times. I think I was so shy before that I didn't even notice/care. They'll do stuff like step in front of me and cut me out of a circle of people talking, try and boss me...

Oh yeah I know what you're talking about now... that's what they have for squatting there. So you just move the bench in there and set the safety catches where you can set the bar down if u fail?

lol yeah they have physical therapy patients to work w/ haha... what exactly is a power rack and does it keep you from pinning yourself if you push to failure?

I just got back to the gym after kind of a long absence and it feels good haha. But one question I have... before I lifted at school with my friends and I had people to spot me on the bench but now I joined a new gym for the summer and I don't know anyone there. Is it weird to ask someone else...

Just don't make excuses, if you set a goal and don't reach it there is no excuse that will get you to the goal, you either do it or you don't. What exactly are you trying to improve?

I know a kid who is 5'3" 130 lbs and is absolutely ripped... he can bench twice his bodyweight. Point being who cares how tall you are if you're strong you're strong.
