Okay this isn't really important But I was explaining to a leg presser today the importance of squatting. And I wasn't too successful. Hypertrophy-wise, is there any benefit to squatting that can't be achieved with the combination of leg-pressing, SLDL's and regular deads? I know squats are...

looks like a lot.

um shocking the muscles? No, that doesn't do anything.

after the first workout you will be sore as hell, provided you do everything right and long enough. After that, it'll depend. My back still gets really sore for at least 2 days, chest and shoulders usually only last one day after the workout, legs stay sore for at least 2 days and triceps and...

xahrx, how have your strength/size gains been? I did a little bit of DC and I think the combination of rest pause and infrequent use of a specific movement was great for strength. The 3 different exercises I think is the key for it, and the reason some people have trouble gaining strength with...

first of all, most likely, that is way too many calories. That is 23 times your bodyweight. As for fat, eat nuts. Natural peanut butter and walnuts are where I get most of my fat, plus there will naturally be fat in the meat you eat.

worst post ever?

for a biochemistry major, you sure have a poor understanding of this stuff........

what and where? That's a great deal.

this is the strangest thing I've ever seen at these boards.

sounds more like a lack of shoulder flexibility to me. The extra range of motion is at the most stretched position, the area where you'd most like to have more ROM.

um, what? Why would you use the largest increments on the lowest weights? Not only will you end up with harshly light weights for the beginning of your cycle, you'll be incrementing rather insignificantly during the heavier portion, when conditioning is greater and larger increments are...

what it comes down to is that there is a maximum strength output for any muscle. Maybe you can do 10 reps with 80 pounds dumbells, 180 pounds with a barbell, or 220 pounds on some machine press. There is a maximum amount of strain that can be achieved and absolute load is not the only factor...

yeah this is definately a personal issue. There is no intrinsic "point" of training. If you're not really into it, it's doubtful you'll achieve meaningful results. As far as drinking enough to throw up regularly, I dunno. That's pretty awful. Have you really been that unable to learn...

he has. look for the "customizing hst" thread.

I've found that strength wise, multiple exercises helps a lot. Like Jules said, the recruitment patterns differ. For example, lets say I have two choices: A. Bench, Bench B. Dip, Bench I've found that on my second set, which will be bench in either case, I can have a more productive set on...

it's not true. It's a myth that squats (or anything) will create any significant sustained hormone release.

wow dan.  It's been a while since we've seen some new pictures and it looks like you got a LOT bigger.  Granted, it's not a great angle (the most recent pic) but from what I can tell, you look a lot larger than that second pic, which I've seen several times.  Nice work. I assume you've posted...

I'm gonna. I sure need it. It's also pretty minimal as far as cost to benefits, even if it does virtually nothing it won't be wasting too much time or energy. good call.
