    Need help with my routine

    In terms of programming my advice to you would to be hit each muscle group 2-3 times a week. You can split this up in whatever way it makes it easier for you to adhere to. Upper/Lower, full body, push pull legs will all work or a combination of these can work. This might make you take your...

    Stupid calves just won't grow!!!!!! Highly frustrated

    Knew EMPIREMIND would chime in and say intraset stretching. It really does work man. Only other thing to work for me is to to them like Lyle McDonald says.. Pause at the bottom to take the stretch reflex out from the Achilles and do a 5x5 and focus on progressive overload.

    Healthiest mass gainer!

    I used to do mass gainz and it is great no doubt. Definitely the best mass gainer. But the same thing for a much cheaper price is myprotein Impact whey along with their instant oats. Also you can customize the amount of carbs and protein you want in your shake

    Plateau?

    OP sounded like his lifts were still progressing. He didn't address his upper body lifts though. If your lifts are going up and you're not gaining mass then your training is most likely good but the calories would be the issue most likely. You have to be a little more specific on what area your...

    Plateau?

    Yes especially if the lifts are still going up get those calories a bump.

    total reps for muscle group

    Invalid Link Removed I don't know if you've seen this yet but everything Eric Helms puts out is non biased and science based. He explains Volume, Intensity and frequency in this video. I could explain but he does such a good job in this video.

    Lifting around/with Patellar Tendonitis

    Try BFR if you haven't. The protocol used in most studies is 2 rounds of 30, 15, 15, 15. 30 seconds of rest between each of these sets. Don't remove the wraps until you are done. Perform on leg ext and leg curl

    REALLY slow reps

    I wasn't ignoring what you said, I don't doubt the differences are minimal. But minimal differences could possibly add up to make a noticeable difference. I was mainly talking to the folks who love their slow reps like I used to. This is really what supports what I was trying to say about...

    biotest plasma??

    Yeah man I know what you're saying, it always made me wonder if the pepto pro was that great. I know the ingredients in intra MD were high quality and it has a great profile I just didn't notice that much of a difference in recovery or muscle soreness.

    REALLY slow reps

    I thought this thread was more about being able to train with lighter weights. If you are asking which is more effective for muscle growth faster vs slower tempos then your answer is faster tempos have more scientific backing for hypertrophy results. The theory's behind this are... 1. Since...

    adding MASS to genetically challenged muscle groups

    Sorry high volume is a relevant term and I should have said "enough volume" because volume is personal.. Let me explain.. Volume doesn't necessarily mean reps per set. Researchers have determined that volume is the greatest contributor to muscle growth as far as training variables go... In order...

    biotest plasma??

    I tried the product Meadows is pushing now which is his Intra-MD and didn't notice too much.

    adding MASS to genetically challenged muscle groups

    Was asking because I've done it for calves before but wrapping up high like for quads/hams not terribly painful for me. I personally thing the intra set loaded stretching is more painful than anything.. Maybe I don't wrap tight enough but i get a sick pump muscle turns kind of red etc. I've had...

    adding MASS to genetically challenged muscle groups

    To OP so many things you can try. But one approach that has scientific backing says this: higher volume is the key to building muscle and also protein synthesis returns to baseline in most trained individuals 36 hrs after training that muscle.. Start hitting those delts and calves with more...

    Where are you wrapping for calves?

    REALLY slow reps

    Slow training could be good if you're injured but slower rep speed doesn't mean increased hypertrophy. BFR training is more backed by science and in my personal opinion the most effective way to train with light weights as far as hypertrophy is concerned

    Home Gym Good Enough For Mass Building

    There's been countless studies comparing hypertrophy results attained from free weights vs machines. Free weights have proven to be better time and time again. All those athletes that you mention have already built a strong foundation using big free weight compound or bodyweight compound...

    Home Gym Good Enough For Mass Building

    Do you want the best results possible or not? Best results will come from lifting free weights all you need is a bar some weights and a rack to get really good results. Probably need a bench too. You could probably get some results from the bowflex but I'm sure you might want more results than...

    How come its common for the top pro's to use bad form?

    Layne Norton also made a video talking about all of these things in it. It's his time under tension video log and he basically goes on to explain why TUT is not as important as people have made it out to be.. I used to train really slow and perfect controlled form on everything but now my form...
