    EAT BIG!!... I think I need to eat bigger though!

    Sorry, I thought it said 6'3". If you're going D-1 then anything under 310 is still very small for offensive line. But on the defense the weight varies much more. I played high school O-line at 6' 270 lbs. Just a little guy, lol. It's true, you are going to add quite a bit of fat, but...

    EAT BIG!!... I think I need to eat bigger though!

    Stop throwing away all those nutrients and good fats in the egg yolks! There's more good protein and fat in those yolks then you'll get in processed sausage any day of the week, which is mostly saturated fat and sugar. Make your PB&J a PB & banana. Jelly is pure sugar and completely useless...

    Before and still going journey from fat ass to not.

    It sure is, my friend. Just keep at it. I was over 300 5 years ago. Now I'm the one everyone comes to for diet advice. Trust me, it's worth it.

    Tate's 2 week bulk/2 week cut plus 5x5 log

    Yup. Switched to bulking. It's time anyways. I really am ready to start adding muscle again, especially with this tweaked workout I have. It's going to be tough, and I need the calories to help me keep up. So It'll be 2.5 weeks of 3500 calories/day, then back to cutting, but only with a 250...

    Bigger Muscle.....

    I'm not going to even act like I know anything about how those things affect your body. If I tried to I'd only expose my utter ignorance.

    I think I'm going to lose it. I've been doing my half dose of EC for the last 1 1/2 weeks, but I ran out of bronkaid and decided not to buy more. Knowing that I have 2 days left is driving me up a wall. I'd be FINE if I was going to keep cutting and could just get into my routine. I like...

    Bigger Muscle.....

    juice changes how your muscles react as well. At least from what I've read, as I have no personal experience.

    Bigger Muscle.....

    pumps means nothing. how your muscles look right after a set means nothing. soreness means nothing. Atleast, not if your trying to get bigger and stronger. Some advanced lifters use a wide variety of rep and set numbers to try to stimulate new growth. Sometimes they also do things that don't...

    Douchebags at the gym...

    There are a couple groups of guys at my gym. They're all always together and doing the same thing. There's always one strong(er, slightly) guy and everyone else just follows him around. Last night there was a group like that a few benches down. I grabbed the 100's to do dumbell bench (which...

    Very interesting workout today! I was doing squats my normal way, which really isn't that terrible, when the only real hardcore powerlifter who trains at our gym came over and gave me some advice. He's done it before, and I've welcomed it, so it wasn't in bad taste. He sggested I hold the bar...

    Hang clean and press = best overall shoulder movement in the history of mankind. Good god, my shoudlers are rounder and fuller and all I did for shoulders the entire weekend was 5x5 hang clean and presses, topping out at 135 for the last 3 sets. The only possible issue with this workout is...

    Can you buy weight loss products with Ephedra in US?

    Not ephedra. But I use bronkaid for my ec stack, which is primarily ephedrine.

    Decided to stay natty, ?'s about SWOLE stack

    Sounds good. I'm going to see what my goals are once I get to that point then choose accordingly.

    Motivate my GF!

    Find out what she wants. I train with my wife now, and it was a journey to get here. It started with me getting results, then moved on to me finding out how she would like to look by having her find pictures of girls she wanted to look like. When she did pick out a very pretty but also very...

    Decided to stay natty, ?'s about SWOLE stack

    After some though, I agree. I'm reacting VERY well so far to this plan, so I'm going to ride it out. Once this is over I'm going to cycle a stack (I'm on the fence, swole or hghpro+testopro) either bulking or recomping (maybe combining and doing a slow bulk? I add muscle fairly easily, so...

    Advice on training.

    I've done dedicated arm days before, and if you want to do that then you can definitely hit them twice in a week. I guess I just thought more time could be given to chest and back and less dedicated to just arms. Remember, when you hit your chest and back harder with more volume, your arms are...

    Decided to stay natty, ?'s about SWOLE stack

    After tossing around the idea of getting into PH's, I've decided against. I was planning to use the swole stack as PCT, but after reading plenty of good reviews and seeing some good deals, I've decided I'm going to run the stack as a stand-alone and see if this 27 year old can benefit from some...

    Haha, to high school kids I'm definitely old. The fun thing about being a young coach is that I can still show them up now and then. If I had a place to work on my Olympic lifts then I'd really be ready for them.

    F'ING FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!

    I agree that this is a huge part of the problem. People who are super strict tend to get away with a larger deficit, but a metabolism that has slowed down is very "sensitive", so any extra bit of food gets stored. This is why there have been cases of people eating under 800 calories a day and...
