    Antagonist Stretching For Bench Press

    Though I do not compete my main training goals are powerlifting oriented. This technique should be effective for all presses, but I have been mainly testing it on the flat bench with a competition setup. I have only gotten to try it out twice so far and have liked it a lot. To do it I did some...

    Eat more or not?

    I agree with EMPIREMIND, you should try reverse dieting your way up. If you have been stuck at your current weight for a while then try adding 200 cal. for the first week and assess after that. You want to end up gaining ~.5-.7 pounds a week, that is what I understand to be most optimal. Try to...

    Intraset muscle stretching

    Did you try it out yet? I tried it on flys and only ended up doing 2 sets, but it definitely made it more difficult and it killed my chest.

    Thanks for the great contribution to the discussion! hah That is exactly why I said, "please be open minded and if I am way off, I apologize."

    Intraset muscle stretching

    Just be careful doing the stretch that way because your back and core are going to be fatigued, so you have to be very aware of spine positioning and make sure you do not go into a butt wink or w/e while down there. Might be a safer idea with like hack squat or something, but whatever you do...

    Cut or bulk first?

    Cut first, but the person would have to make a goal and stick with it. People who usually have that dilemma are very likely to as soon as they start to see some muscle loss during their cut start freaking out and try to go back in the other direction and then they end up being stuck around...

    Intraset muscle stretching

    On squats?! F***! haha I have a glute injury and anything over 3 reps irritates it at the moment, but I have been meaning to try the 100 reps with leg extensions. If you try it on something tell me what you think! How do you plan to do the stretch? This is the DC quad stretch- Invalid Link Removed

    Intraset muscle stretching

    Did you mean what I said? For that I meant something like use pretty light weight so that you can do a straight set of 100 with minimal rests(10 seconds at the most), but still rep 100 should be hard. Then grab some semi-heavy DB's that you would usually do flys with and hold the stretch for...

    Intraset muscle stretching

    Moving off the topic of stretching a bit, but I have been playing with 100 reps sets on flys, curls, straight arm pulldowns, and shoulder exercises recently and the pump is always crazy. I definitely, enjoy it? hah Back to stretching, I will have to try it with super high reps like that soon. I...

    Speed of the floor deadlift?

    I agree with this as a big possibility. Tabascoonall, do you do any core work? Do you wear a belt?

    LGD-4033

    That is probably a good idea until there are some capped logs out that you can look at. I personally do not trust getting anything from a research chem company because you really cannot be sure what you are getting, and I am guessing that is where everyone else is getting theirs as the capped...

    Glut-4 Muscle Cell Growth

    I was mainly looking/theorizing on the idea of increasing Glut-4 receptors on the muscle cells causing them to swell to the point, or even past it, that for instance a fat cell would have to undergo mitosis capacity wise. Whether this would then cause its own form of growth through creating...

    Glut-4 Muscle Cell Growth

    Actually I am working on my own nutrient partitioning blend. I had posted looking for a company to work with on it a while ago, but it got taken down. Now I am looking more into Glut-4 to perfect it, for at least personal use. Invalid Link Removedlooks VERY interesting, but it is not in any...

    Glut-4 Muscle Cell Growth

    I am not going to pretend to say that anything in this is correct, but I had been researching ALA and then I was telling my Grandma about fat cell mitosis and the idea just popped into my head. So please be open minded and if I am way off, I apologize. I am putting this under supplements because...

    Lower ab help

    I might get hate for this, but try to hit a set of 20-30 reps of an ab exercise around every hour and it should help some since you are already at such a low bf%. I think spot reduction is stupid, but when you are that low of a bf% the increased blood flow can help to release fat storage in the...

    Article: What Exactly is "Training to Failure"?

    I think I would have to agree, but I am a little biased as currently I am getting great results with training to failure and I believe Yates Rows are the best rows. hah

    Platinum Nutraceuticals Test-XT Log

    Definitely, this product seems like it is packed with the best natural muscle builders that are available right now. Ecdy, Lax, and (-)-Epi are all sick. I have heard for a different product that has lax and ecdy that it is a good idea to take with amino acids, know if it is the same for this? I...

    LGD-4033

    I have not gotten to try it yet myself, but from my reading it can be pretty suppressive, so I think it would be best to be prepared for the worst. The suppression seems dose dependent, so depending on your source you would want to play with it, like if you use Platinum Nutraceuticals you might...

    Article: Scientifically Proven "Train to Failure" Tactics

    I only recently started training to failure again after maybe 1-2 years of not really touching it and the gains have been great. I am on a cut, but still strength gain are coming for my pull and my bench is holding about the same.
