  2. Wrist and Neck problems with 5x5's

    Hey all, Actually, I think the neck may have been aggravated a bit before starting the 5x5's to be honest. What was I doing: - barbell bicep curls (wasn't using an EZ bar). I almost feel like I have a harder time with the EZ bar. - machine assisted incline bench - machine assisted bench -...

  3. Wrist and Neck problems with 5x5's

    Hello, Hurt right wrist and strained neck a bit when doing 5x5's. I can move the weight, but does this mean I should simply be doing a lower weight. I was under the impression I sould be maxing out at about 5 reps, but if I go lighter, I can do more, which is not the principle of 5x5's. How...

  4. 3 Day split but need cardio

    I think I did have some digestive upset on it. I was using the Kre-alkalyn for awhile and I did seem to tolerate it a lot easier. I stopped it awhile ago when I started cutting.

  5. 3 Day split but need cardio

    Thanks for guidance. One more comment question. I am getting conflicting advice about using creatine when cutting. I understand it fills muscles, and supposedly will not contribute to subcutaneous fat swelling. I also understand it shouldn't be exclusively about the weight number, as...

  6. 3 Day split but need cardio

    I was thinking about that. Got nervous with getting fatigued at the end of a full body workout, but that may be a good option. I think because I am shooting for 5 reps, I bet it will really push me to add some weight to what I am doing. I like it. I'll try: 1. Full body 3x a week with a...

  7. 3 Day split but need cardio

    I would but I really want to put some mass on chest and arms in particular and I know I really need heavy lifting/decreased reps to get it done. Hard to do that with all that cardio in the same day.

  11. Fat burning

    Well, no responses yet? I decided to go with Fitness labs Diet stack in the morning and 1 hour before workout. Xtend during workout. I was losing weight anyway with proper nutrition and cardio 5x/week, so figured the above should be enough. Was going to add in lipotropin once I get to 13% or...

  16. Cutting 10 pounds

    Agreed. But, I didn't want to bulk and simply add more to the waist. I wanted to cut a bit first, and then I do intend to gain, but the right way. Ideally, I would probably like to be at 175, but more muscle not fat.

  17. Work out routine with old shoulder injury

    Hello, I have dislocated my shoulder 5 times. Not since 2000, and I have had arthroscopic stabilization surgery. Unfortunately, the muscular/nerve damage is done, and I still don't have a whole lot of anterior deltoid. I am wondering if it is still possible to do pull-ups effectively. Maybe...
