Thanks Zyg. Yes I like that... performance based goals as opposed to body fat or physical goals. With performance based the rest will follow. I can already squat twice my weight, so maybe to squat 2.5 times. I'd like to be able to do more pull ups without any weight stack to help so I can...

Hi All. Love this forum! The knowledge of the members blows me away. So, can anyone relate to this? I've been working out really hard for a little over a year, have lost 11 lbs. I'm 5'1 and went from 123 lbs to 112 lbs and have packed on quite a bit of muscle. I've been able to increase my...

Not sure if I can add to this and have anyone notice... but. So I've been lifting for 8 months now. Started at 113 and am now at 123. I was eating a couple hundred/few hund over my maintenance calories for a while there (or trying) but my fat % went up so I cut that out and was just eating...

Honestly I'm sort of afraid of the deadlifts and few other of the free weight moves because of my disc problems. I've got discs hitting my spinal cord and pinched nerves. I don't truly know what's ok and what's not though. I do chin ups and dips but I guess you're right cml it's kind of random...

Hi All. I'm new to this forum, and have been doing a lot of research on the "right" way to do things- however I seem to find tons of conflicting information, and lots of stuff that isn't very specific. I apologize in advance if I ramble, give too much detail, or am doing something alarmingly...
