    Keeping the water off.

    Diet, diet, diet. Assuming your estrogen levels arent too terribly high (blood test to be sure). First, cut out all grains, then consider replacing 100% of your carbs with fruit veggies and watch the water fall off :) I know a lot of people are afraid of the sugar and fructose in fruit...as...

    Getting lean

    As others have said, don't cut down on the weight training! Lifting heavy not only builds muscle, but keeps it there and keeps you burning calories. Lift for the muscle, diet and cardio for the fat

    Bulk

    A huge surplus of calories is not needed to maximize muscle gain. Use training and supplementation to create an anabolic environment, then feed it fully. Anything beyond that, you're just gonna get soft....which is all very vague. So it's best to keep track of everything. You can't have too...

    on cycle bulk please advise

    There is a lot of factors in creating an anabolic environment: diet, training, supps, super supps, etc. But what I have my clients do very often when they have stalled and I believe its because of a lack of calories, is to have them add a tbs of olive oil to a few meals a day. Try it brother...

    on cycle bulk please advise

    I would recommend adding fats. Fats are terribly unappreciated by many in the bodybuilding world, with many benefits beyond just being an easy way to add calories. By adding fats instead of carbs, you keep your insulin levels lower, and cut down on bloat. Add a tbs of olive, coconut, or red...

    Not touching chest on bench

    Not only is it tough on your shoulders, going too low will take some of the tension off of the pecs as your shoulders rotate....Try this: Stand sideways to a mirror and move your arm back as if doing the negative part of a bench press. You will see how the shoulder will begin to rotate after...
