    Squats or Stairs?

    I'll tend to do sumo deads and conventional deads on back day, with my chest day in between back and legs, so my legs are recovered by leg day, which I'm focusing mainly on squats, with lunges and hack squats after. I've done HIIT in the past, and it worked well, but running sprints really...

    Squats or Stairs?

    Thanks for the info, guys. Energy isn't really a problem for me. I gulp back my xtend before my workout and get in a get it done. I don't spend any more than an hour in the gym at a time. I'm just going to stick to the stairs for now, and if that begins to get stale, I'll find something else to...

    Squats or Stairs?

    I started my cutting routine a couple weeks ago, which consists of working a body part every other day for about 40 minutes and then 20 minutes on the stairs. I've been wondering though if I could take the basic foundation of the "Squats and Milk" routine and use that instead of the 20 minutes...

    Working different muscle fibers two days in a row. Discuss

    This is merely something that popped into my head while reading through more articles written by more "experts" about how you should handle your body.. So, you read and hear so much about working in rep ranges of 1-5, 6-8 and 12+ and how those different ranges work different muscle fibers. 1-5...

    NHL Playoffs

    Hell of a game. I thought the Bruins were walking away with that one, for sure.

    NHL Playoffs

    The Bruins and the Hawks have never met for the Cup. This will be a good series.

    The basic rule of bulking/cutting

    I don't look forward to cardio, but I've always been good at it, so it doesn't bother me so much. There is certain stuff that just makes me feel terrible if I do it the day after a workout, though. Sprinting after leg day being an example :aargh:

    NHL Playoffs

    I think time off during playoff hockey always helps. If you ever listen to those guys talk about how exhausting the playoffs can be, you almost feel sorry them lol

    NHL Playoffs

    I was wondering the same thing. Bruins are shoving their faces into the mud, and with the series moving to Bean Town now, they could sweep. Doubt it will happen that way, but anything can happen. You can thank the Caps for trading Vokoun to the Pens to, btw ;)

    The basic rule of bulking/cutting

    I'll cycle between sideways jogging across the yard and taking it to my heavy bag for about a half hour a day when I'm cutting. The sideways jogging gets my heart rate up, but doesn't feel terrible if I did legs the day before or ruin my legs if I'm planning on working them the day after.

    The basic rule of bulking/cutting

    From what I've always understood, the "basic" rule of cutting and bulking is: Bulking - 500cals over maintenance a day Cutting - 500cals under maintenance a day I know of all of the other variables about %'s of carbs, fats and proteins(macros) and not everybody needs that much to bulk. I've...

    Supps for retaining muscle.
