  1. Stop stretch marks!

    I am as harry as a sasquach. Covers em just fine.

  2. how much can you grow?

    Thanks, I have been trying to get 240g protein daily. Using "lose it" to track and I am way off. I realize now that my diet has sucked much worse than I comprehended. No soda, chips, French fries, fast food, for months at a time just doesn't cut it. I also know why I could lose 25 pounds and...

  3. 36, multiple injuries, no motivation, and overweight. AGAIN.

    I can relate. I am 41 and finally found what works for me. The pain and injuries hurt but not reaching goals giving up things you love hurts worse. I gave up my ego and things started improving. After shoulder surgery and hormone problems I started rebuilding. The first rule is do no harm. I...

  4. how much can you grow?

    Also my diet is around 2000cal with approx 80g carbs, 8 hours sleep, supplement ZMA and Vit D3, and post workout protein is 30g.

  5. how much can you grow?

    Ok. More info, 5'10'', 30% bodyfat, 12 mo of weight training 2-3x/wk. Every 6-8 weeks I change my program from volume to POF, or heavy duty. I think clarifying my question could also help. What is considered large natural biceps?

  6. how much can you grow?

    I did a search but came up confused. I was into powerlifting years ago, reached 250 pounds with plenty of fat. After years away from it I am getting in shape again. In the past 18 months my biceps have gone from 15 1/4 to 17 1/8. I put on 10 pounds and I am now 230 pounds with some fat. I...

  7. Thoughts on programs like P90X

    I completed P90 years ago and increased cardio capacity, P90x was supposed to turn me into a beast. It didn't. I did get a torn pec/shoulder problem out of it and that lead to some needed medical care which now has me on track with Heavy Duty. Is it a good program? Depends on your goals.

  8. Goal Setting

    Is get Abs to show by summer a sufficiently clear goal.

  9. Goal Setting

    When it comes to goal setting how specific do you get? Do you write down your goals, are they specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely? Or do you use some other way to draw yourself into the future you?

  10. Mike Mentzer style training

    Those of you who are strict with heavy duty, do you also do Cardio and if so what style and for what purpose?

  11. Mike Mentzer style training

    I am little unclear of Mentzer recover period or frequency of workouts. He says train 1x/wk/body part. In other places he says train 4 days later. If the goal is to recover and then grow and then workout again how do you judge when its time to train a body part again?

  12. Mike Mentzer style training

    I think the problem is counting reps. At least at first because your focus should be on a 10 sec rep. Once you slow down you need mental focus on the lift not counting reps. If you do 10 sec reps for 90 sec that's 9 reps.

  13. Mike Mentzer style training

    New here and this thread is why. I just read a HD book, and started a 4-6 week commitment to see if it works for me. I tried about 6 mo ago but in a few weeks it wasn't strict heavy duty. This time I am choosing a 15 rep weight for starters and using a timer instead of counting reps. After 90...
