Yeah, one of the guys I was talking to was in a competition and he said one guy was straining in a press and his heel came off the floor like a fraction of an inch - DQ! He said the judges hunch down and really look for that and the butt thing. Very strict. I just know it feels better when I...

I have developed the habit of putting my heels on the end of the bench when doing bench presses. As the weight got heavier, I tended to arch my back so to aleviate this, I started to put my feet on the bench. SOme guys at my gym said that most places won;t let you do this but didn't know why...

So how does one counteract the stress pain that comes on in the lower back when doing Needsize's 5x5 ab TUT routine? Every time I do it I have pain in the small of my back for hours. I was thinking about starting to work on progressions for the Dragonflag but am afraid this will further...

Thanks for all the responses! He has used No-xplode and likes that. He already has relatively big legs. He is just not into legs exercises. He wants to work on upper. I told him how working legs would actually hepl upper body but he won;t listen. Strange for an 18-yr old not listening to his old...

I never figured the macros but the recipes taste really good. I did it for a little while and lost a couple of pounds. The meatball sandwiches are great as is the Spaghetti. Several of the smoothies are good too.

Bought both BLB and BBT back when I first joined EF. Never made the connection when you answered a few of my posts that you were the author (been a while) though the name sounded familiar. Great info in both!

Hey everyone - I like to keep my diet as simple as possible (i.e.: clean protein source, clean carb source, etc.) so insteaed of having recipes that combine lots of ingredients and then calculating the macro ratios in a serving size I prefer to have a protein (chicken breast, steak, etc), carb...

I just added l-glutamine, ALA, CLA and BCAAs to my supplement regiment pre- and post-workout. Question: should I be taking these on non-lifting days as well? If so, as much as I take on lifting days?

My son is 18 and has been lifting for a few months. He has made great progress working out twice a week (only upper body - can't get him to do legs, don't ask) and now some of his friends have told him they made great leaps when they started taking creatine. I gave him a supply and told him to...

I started back to the gym about a month ago. I used the sitting weighted crunch machine with moderate weight for several days. Now my lower back is hurting. Normally this sort of back issue with me is taken care of with a dose or 2 of Ibuprophen, 2 days max and at most using one of those back...

mmm

I just read the Chris Hemsworth had to eat 5000 calories a day to put on 20 lbs of muscle in 5 months. I can't even imagine eating clean and being able to stomach that much intake each day. Can someone paint me an example of a 1 day menu at 5000 calories and the trick to keeping it down without...

Ok, so some lifts I do are recommended to use the same weight each set and do the same number of reps while others recommend increasing the weight each set while decreasing the reps. Which is better or does it matter?

So some questions: How does this work (jacked energy ala caffeine? Hemodilation effects like No products?)? Are there steroid like side effects I need to worry about? (i.e.: gynomastea?) Can I safely run this if I've never done a cycle? Should I take this alone or should I take other supps in...

Thanks guys! I read on here that Alpha T2 and Shift were the same except Shift is stim-free. Alpha has synephrine but some one said it doesn't give the jittery feeling that caffeine does. Any clarification on this?
