Ok thanks, I'll try that Totentanz!

I'm 20 years old, 5'-8", and about 155 lbs. One week ago I started a bulking diet. I first figured out my normal calories were about 1800 each day. My protein was only about 50-60g each day. I decided to shoot for 2800 calories each day, and 160-200g of protein (coming mostly from tuna...

Here's an excel spreadsheet that'll do the calculations for you!

Now we just need to figure out a way to see that he's down, without having to rely on a broken hand to know for sure :)

bump. vicious? dkm? anyone? :)

For this cycle, I decided to the following things: 1. full body 6x/week 2. cluster reps w/ lightweight "metabolic set" of 10-15 reps 3. use loads from 65% to 90% of my 1RM (6 total loads, +5% increments) 4. count calories! (never done this before) I have a few questions about these...

To those of you who work each muscle 6x a week, how many sets per muscle do you do each day? I recently started a 6x / week routine and have been doing only 1 set per muscle. It doesn't really seem like enough, but hopefully once it gets heavier it will. Let me know your experiences. Thanks

I can do military press and shoulder press, but once I reach semi-heavy weights my shoulders can't take it any more. Raising my arms past 90 degrees with heavy weight just causes a terrible (joint) pain in both shoulders. Anyways, I'm looking for alternative ways to work my side delts. I feel...

Is the higher rep "metabolic" set only useful if your working set is less than 10 reps? I just started a cycle with 10's and have done a light-weight 10-15 rep set after my working set (for each muscle). Is this pointless during the 10's? thanks

I'd like to bulk very quickly. I don't mind gaining some fat as long as I'm gaining muscle. I'm only 150-155 and won't even consider cutting until I'm 170+. I think I'll start my bulk by adding calories from my protein (24g per serving, 110 calories per serving). I'll have 1 before and 1 after...

Thanks for the help. How many calories over maintenance would I need to accomodate a 6x per week routine? How does a burn set or superset aid in hypertrophy?

I'm simply bulking right now. Is 6x a week per muscle too often? What about 12x (b/c I have a lot of free time now)? I know that higher frequency is better for hypertrophy, but wouldn't too frequent prevent the muscle from recovering enough between workouts to ever really grow? Also if I...

Is 912 only for cutting? If you had a caloric surplus rather than a deficit, could this be a good bulking routine? thanks

Btw, I personally tend to see the best gains in the 5's when the weight gets pretty heavy.
