  1. Squats and Hemorrhoids

    T-bone, I'm curious if you think yours were caused or aggravated by squats or deads. My situation has improved. I have been squatting 2-times a week since. I went to doc and forgot to bring it up because we got talking about blood work.

  2. Article: 5 Things Exercise Nazis Get Wrong

    The behind-neck press was my preferred shoulder exercise in the 80's. I stopped doing it for years because "conventional wisdom" was it was bad for the shoulders. I have been doing them again recently and they feel great.

  3. nutritional beliefs you formerly held

    Great subject. I remember one about how Japanese sumo wrestlers got so big: The author noted they ate very little all day long, worked out strenuously and then ate a lot in the evening. Presto - that was how THEY got so fat. The point of the article was we can avoid gaining weight by not eating...

  4. Low T, what to expect?

    Mark Sisson of Mark's Daily Apple has a nice write up here: Invalid Link Removed

  5. Low T, what to expect?

    Regarding your high cholesterol: Take some time to learn about Triglycerides, HDL, LDL. There is more to the story than just HDL=good/LDL=bad. Do this before you take a statin drug. Doctors are quick to prescribe them but the sides can be worse. I cannot do the subject justice in just this post...

  6. Weight loss advice

    Allow me to be brutal: you ate junk (sugar, refined carbs) throughout your youth and remained thin. You continued into adulthood and now you are becoming fat. Your metabolism (how your body regulates the energy coming into it) has changed my friend. If you don't understand why, how and what do...

  8. vitamin d3 5,000iu pill?

    Getting blood results today hopefully. Not sure if that level will be included.

  9. vitamin d3 5,000iu pill?

    I take about 1,000 to 2,000 IU of D3 every day. Not to highjack this post, but should I increase the D3? In summer I prefer sunshine to taking pills.

  10. Favorite Song While Lifting

    Try cranking "Are you Experienced" - you'll feel like your in your own Nike commercial.

  11. Favorite Song While Lifting

    Ken, I used to run clock/play music during my son's hockey games. I updated a lot of my old guy rock by researching music played during NHL games. Many teams have there own ITUNES playlist such as the Anaheim Ducks. The music tends to translate well to the gym. You can also get on youtube and...

  12. Life changes

    I realize what you are going through is far worse, but I manage seasonal affective disorder (SAD) through exercise and nutrition. My advice is to not beat yourself up if the workouts are not perfect or as intense as the past. Just get there, listen to some good tunes and enjoy yourself. The...

  13. New to Pro-hormones

    Excellent advice. Learn this subject like your studying for a college biology exam. Like Jiigzz said, older posts on this site should help.

  15. Cardio After Leg Day

    I want your opinion. I currently do a 3-split. Leg day, shoulder/arms day and chest /back day. I am happy with this because each part gets a 3 day rest and essentially gets worked 2 times a week. Now, sometimes on day 4 I don't lift and save errands/chores for this day. I am considering making...

  16. Two a day training splits?

    I used to split my workouts (2 sessions a day) when I was in the military. I would focus on one muscle group per session, maybe two. I loved it and I grew big time strong. It allowed me to put all my energy into exhausting that one muscle group. Ah, those were the days.

  17. Mission: body type from plum to the big "V"

    First off, I think you look good and you have done well. I like Ozzie's advice on diet. You may want to check out the website leangains. He advocates a fasting a protocol that may get you past your plateau. Lastly, you could be overtraining. I see a lot of excercises per muscle group - biceps...

  18. WHEN TO EAT BIGGER?

    I sleep great if I eat before bed. I have read however that raised insulin levels (digestion) can suppress the release growth hormone, testosterone that is released while we sleep. Any thoughts? Hell, I'm 48, I need all the testosterone I can get.

  19. WHEN TO EAT BIGGER?

    MYKH3LL, my grandma used to say there is more than one way to skin a cat. My advice was somewhat over simplified. I agree with all above that carbs can provide energy to power through workouts that burn fat. And many on this site are motivated, highly skilled muscle /strength builders and have...

  20. WHEN TO EAT BIGGER?

    I personally feel eating before bed should be avoided if he wants to lose fat. I also do not think it is needed for energy to do cardio the next day. Unless he's an endurance athlete, he will have enough energy and he will force the his body to use fat stores. I do it frequently. 16 hour fast/8...
