    A couple more pics from today with a little better lighting. I never take off my shirt in the gym, so this is all you get to see for now. Also, I'm fat...

    LOL, I know I know...I just feel really fat and bloated now, my waist has increased by 2-3", and my V-taper is gone. Should be expected from the force-feeding I've implemented this cycle, but I was just really disappointed after seeing the pic. Thought I looked better earlier that day in...

    Yes, I get the point already :D If you all really want to see me in my fat and happy offseason shape, I'll get them done as soon as possible. I also posted some old pics a long time ago, about 30lbs lighter - e.g. this one:

    How much protein powder per day?

    No, as calories go up, the need for protein goes down in the abundance of carbs. As calories go down, protein becomes more critical to maintain muscle mass.

    I hate dextrose

    About 30/40. Yes, I dilute it to about 1L. I'm now at 100/50 during 5s. Probably because grape sugar is another name for glucose. Grapes and grape juice (and raisins) contain varying amounts of fructose/glucose, but an average is 50/50.

    REALLY basic Newb question..

    Yes, that is correct - you got it... :)

    I hate dextrose

    Grape juice is usually 50/50 fructose and glucose, so I don't consider that a good post-workout choice. Glucose is great if you can handle the sweet taste - I definitely can when on a bulking diet with a 150/50 ratio of carbs/protein in my post-workout shake...

    Calorie restriction

    Lyle McDonald has hinted numerous times on the Keto forum that he has some strategy employing this principle, and that he would reveal it soon...so far he hasn't spilled his beans, though... :D

    REALLY basic Newb question..

    You have to TEST for your RMs. Just pick a load that is reasonably low and rep out with it for the chosen exercise. If you overshoot the rep target - i.e. you easily get 20 reps when testing for your 15RM - increase the load by 5-10lbs and test it again until you get closer to your target. If...

    I like it, but I currently don't do any overhead pressing at all.

    Inner thighs

    I'm one week into my 5s, and just by widening my stance 8" on my squats yesterday I can barely get out of my car today...

    Calves training specifics

    Doing one leg at a time means that you don't need as many plates on the machine - if you aren't already doing that.

    CLA

    You should be getting a minimum of 6g of CLA to notice any effects from it, so 8 pills per day.

    Inner thighs

    The reason wide stance works the inner thighs more is because you get more stretch in that area in the bottom position. Anyone familiar with the FAQ section knows what a powerful stimulus for growth stretching under load can be.

    military-press-to-front

    I've only been doing side- and bent-over laterals my last couple of cycles. The partial OHP is good, but why not experiment and see what you like better?

    Inner thighs

    Don't misconstrue my outburst as ridicule towards you - it was in now way intended that way. I'm simply tired of seeing people (especially women who are so scared of getting "buff" ) in gyms everywhere doing endless sets of situps, tricep kickbacks, and *shiver* the adductor...
