  1. Please Critique my Cut Diet

    Since you are going to be working out a lot (i assume since you are trying to lose weight), you don't have to worry quite so much about total calories as long as you are getting good calories and the right times. Using an old equation i got from a former strength coach, you can get up to 3,500...
  2. protein?

    Depends on what time you go to bed after your workout. IMO, get some immediate protein in the form of a can of tuna or PB sandwhich right after your workout and a scoop of casein. The food will get protein in your system quick and the casein will help you stay anabolic throughout the night...
  3. CSCS Test Pointers

    Hey everybody, i am set to take the CSCS test Jan 22 and have been studying rather diligently. I recently took a class geared towards the test and i have taken 2 practice tests. My grade in the class was well above average but the test scores are very near the breaking point between pass and...
  4. Muscle stamina

    ideally for muscle stamina you are looking at completing 2 to 4 sets of 12 plus reps. For this range to work you should stay under about 70% of your 1RM and the other part is keeping your rest time low. Keeping your rest between 30 to 45 seconds between sets will help keep your muscles from...
  5. TripDogs Spiritual Thread

    I am always looking for new prayers and ways to worship so i thought i would share my ways with all of you.
  6. TripDogs Spiritual Thread

    Thought i would share my favorite prayer. I use this every morning before workouts and after every baseball practice and game. Its a beautiful day God has given us this day to use as we will We can waste it or use it for good What we do today is important because we are exchanging a day in...
  7. What kind of supplements should I use?

    I use jack3d but it isnt a necessary thing. I use it for a stimulant before training mostly but there are some extra amino acids included. IMO you would be better off with some bulk BCAA's instead of the jack3d, better bang for your buck and very similar effects just no caffeine. Again all of...
  8. What kind of supplements should I use?

    The only other thing i could think of would be some fish oil, again like pembroke said only if money is not an issue.
  9. Pre workout meal

    The protein shake appears to be almost a waste at this point IMO. Since you rarely use protein as a source of energy during your workout, the 10 egg whites should suffice for your intake of protein pre-workout. If anything is needed before your workout i would suggest simple carbs. You will...
  10. HST Question...

    IMO you need to have full confidence in your routine and that it will help you gain otherwise you will not benefit from it. If you feel that you need to change it up than go for it but make sure that you are informed on the new program and believe in it. Unfortunately i do not know much for...
  11. Improving squat techniqe

    Slightly turning your feet outward will allow you more ROM in your hips, and like SRS2000 said directing your knees outward will also help with your ROM. Keep working on your form and things will work out. Good Luck
  12. Weighted vest

    Most vests will allow you to remove some of the weights from the vest if you needed to lower the weight. I would suggest finding one that you can remove the weights and go for the 120, that way you will always have that opportunity to add weight when the workout calls for it. This will also...
  13. Iowans, let's get this going

    Whats up guys I am from Cedar Rapids but i am finishing up school in Dubuque. Anybody around the area?
  14. Snacks for studying

    Dehydrated fruit keeps well, almonds are always a good way to go, and i make my own trail mix with assorted nuts, raisins, dehydrated fruits, and dark chocolate chips. I am in the library all the time with these things along with my tin ha. Good luck with the studying
  15. Apartment Equipment

    Medicine ball is always nice for lower weight functional movements for abs or upper body plyometrics. Some people really like the kettle bells to depending on the type of workouts that you are looking to do.
