    Smolov with Skinn Legs

    That's definitely a great program. Do phat for a while and eventually try out Layne's PH3 trainer

    Which type of squat do you do more weight with? Box squat or regular back squat?

    Absolutely box squat. My best 1rm squat was 445 and my highest box squat was well over 500. It didn't used to be that way though, when I first started box squatting it was super hard since I wasn't used to going below parallel and stopping, I was used to going below parallel and using the bottom...

    Douchebags at the gym...

    It's been a week since anyone posted in this thread. I believe it's because now, all the annoying resolutioners have left the gyms and we can all take a breather.

    Question about training at home

    If you want some actual solid programming that you know will work to increase your bench with some heavy volume, look into some Bulgarian powerlifting plans, or some Russian plans, something like Sheiko. You'll probably like those.

    Smolov with Skinn Legs

    See, that's where variation comes in. Smolov is all about strength and power, and not much hypertrophy is in place. I hit my legs in some way whether it's squat variations, deadlift variations, Olympic lifts, or sprinting, 6 times a week. My legs are pretty big, and I never get the "don't skip...

    Smolov with Skinn Legs

    I suggest reading about PHAT as well as some diet tips from Layne Norton. That man is a genius.

    Smolov with Skinn Legs

    This guy right here has it too. Some size will definitely come with the frequency/volume of smolov, there's no argument there. But the best size you will get will come from a combination of strength training, power training, and hypertrophy training compiled with a solid diet tailored toward...

    Smolov with Skinn Legs

    Man, you can get strength gains all day but size won't ever come without eating. How much do you eat? And don't kid yourself, man, are you really eating enough to support recovery on that program? Strength is a neural adaptation... Size will come when you're eating like crazy before, during, and...

    Have I been wasting my time with Clif protein bars?

    If you can replace them, I would. Probably with something like those Gatorade protein bars, since they use whey protein. But in the end, the fact that it's soy protein isn't going to make such a big difference that it'll impact strength/mass gains since it's such a small amount.

    Have I been wasting my time with Clif protein bars?

    I wouldn't say it's useless, but whey and animal protein is your best bet. Is this your only source of protein? In the end, muscle gains will always come down to your diet; maybe you haven't had any real muscle gains because you're not eating enough, not because the builders bars have soy protein.

    Douchebags at the gym...

    I was box squatting a few nights ago and a group of new douches in their late teens was doing curls and overhead extensions about 10 feet behind my rack. There was a mirror right in front of me, so while I was doing my sets I could watch them point and mock me, saying things like "what's that...

    What's up with King Coleman?

    All I really know about the dude right now is that he's gotten a lot of surgeries recently and he has challenged Jay Cutler to go onstage and have some sort of posing showdown... I think he's a bit nuts but we'll see what happens. I just follow him to see if he ever gets his "17.123456789 inch...

    Are there any office chairs that aren't junk?

    Well, if all you get at the end of the work day is a bowl of rice I bet you'd put forth little effort too

    If you could...

    I'd have to say the day of my birth. My dad swears that my mom threatened to kill him seven different ways and seems to think it's hilarious, but my mom swears on her grave that she doesn't remember it. I just want to see what she said!

    Are there any office chairs that aren't junk?

    Dude, I thought the same thing until I invested $40 in a wonderful Captain's chair at a garage sale. Do some hunting...not in stores, but on Craigslist, kijiji, whatever you may use... But I freakin fall asleep in mine, it's that comfortable.

    Between cycles?

    EU and dermastr3ngth seem promising. I like the increased bioavailability with derma, I'm going to do a bit more research on it to see what's up! Thanks for the input!

    Definitely something to look at, thanks!
