I have no idea what that means. Are you doing deadlifts and benchpress? Or is it one of those crosffit things where you just pick up tires and tote them? Either way is fine, I imagine.

I used pre-workouts when I was younger, but now in my 40s, I prefer a 16 ounce glass of whole milk pre-workout........... with maybe some protein mid workout. I love that New Whey stuff, buy it at Wal-Mart. It's a tube with 42 grams of protein. I can take it to the gym with me, and either hit...

If you are going to mess around with low reps and risk gaining strength.... god forbid... you should up the weight and drop the sets. You can't be pushing yourself if you are doing 24 sets of chest.

If I were on a bunch of meds that might be affecting my organs, I'd have more concerns than a bloodtest.... You should probably find out more about how steroids and those drugs interact.

Love all three, but in the past year I've become most fond of deadlift. Nothing more exciting than grabbing that bar and getting it off the ground. I'd have to say bench is my least favorite, only because I'm a little claustrophobic and don't like having a bar over my face (at the start), plus...

Like I said, genetic quirk. It's not surprising to me that his other lifts weren't great. Its not so much that he is genetically strong, but that he has some muscle form which makes that one lift strong. My bet would be that if he wants to advance much in bench, beyond his genetic gift, that he...

Machines aren't that bad. If you don't believe me, pick one up next time you are in the gym and do a farmer walk. just kidding.... obviously free weights are best. Sometimes I hit a machine or two at the end of my regular workout, if I feel like it just to fuck around on. Cables are...

Sure it's totally possible, but it's also genetic. For the vast majority of people, it wouldn't be possible. But some people are able to do it. It's kind of like... who has a stronger grip, a 250 pound powerlifter, or an 80 pound Orangutan? Well it's not that extreme, but you get the idea.

I just do barbell, but whatever to each their own. If this were in the BB forum, I could see the DB's winning, but for weightlifting.... I don't see it. More weight should be the goal (for me anyway).

I noticed that when training to failure it added a few reps and may have allowed me to do some extra sets. But I did not get much in the way of strength gains. Now that I am primarily training for strength, I don't use it. 5 reps is 5 reps and it doesn't become 6 because I'm on creatine. If...

I'm old school and tend to think that flat bench barbell should always be your #1 priority. Incline is good to do, but not at a sacrifice to flat max weight bench, sets 4-5, or higher if you lower reps. Other than that, I think you are already doing enough different exercises. Although you...

It's really hard to say without knowing more about what "chest day" consists of.... I would be careful not to burn myself out with a bunch of exercises which are useless.

this is true for body builders, but there is a whole world of power lifters and defensive linemen out there with 16 percent or higher... body fat who run test every year and get good strength gains..... It really depends on what your goals are. I've done cycles as a fat ass plenty of times and...

Re: Pre work out dbol guys I have yes, every time. How did I manage to control it? Genetics. As for the OP, I take DB pre-workout, but only because it falls into my schedule and not to intensify my workout. DB 60 mgs ED for 6 weeks, done 3 times a day. Taking it on rest days is IMO just...

No idea, never tried it. How do you feel on it? The idea of only working out 3 times a week kind of freaks me out, not sure I'd like it at all. If it were me, I'd just add an extra bench on a 4th day along with some "toning" exercises.... probably screws it up, but whatever.
