I take it you mean EZ bars? They're actually not as good as straight bars anyway. Only when your palm is fully supinated will you get maximum bicep activation. Try curling with the different hand positions without any weights and you'll feel the difference.
With machines you don't have to stabilise the weight so you can use far more weight, same goes for those bench press machines. It's perfectly normal. That's why I stay away from machines I think they're pointless unless you're injured or using them as an accessory exercise.
Doesn't matter what you were like a few years back mate it's now you should be thinking of. What Low said is right you're eating too little but it seems you haven't left yourself much time to accomplish your goal. Can I ask how you've let yourself go, injury or no access to a gym or what? And...
No harm in having a diet break for a couple of days over Christmas It'll do ya good as long as it doesn't get out of hand too much. I'm planning a mini-cut in the new year myself cos I know I'll overdo it and come out the other side of the holidays a fat bastard lol
Don't worry about your chest...
Takes a good while from the point of when your abs are starting to show until you have a six pack without flexing. You'll be surprised at how much fat you're actually carrying. Belly fat is the last to go with men usually which makes you look a bit skinny fat for a while till you get lean. If...
A while back I was having problems with my elbows and I mentioned it to the owner of the gym and he told me I was most likely locking out too much on my pressing movements putting too much pressure on the elbow joints. I tried stopping just before lockout and the elbow pain stopped really quickly.
I think everyone's on this "I can eat whatever I want, whenever I want" train because of a recent study that showed GH levels were doubled by IF and the rise of the IIFYM diets. To me they're just trying to appeal to people's laziness.
I don't think it's a MUST to eat every few hours but I'm...
And there is the problem with telling people they are wrong just because the latest study said so. Don't worry next year they'll be saying IF wastes away muscle and you need to eat every half hour lol
If you're competing you most likely have everything else dialled in but for the average gym goer there's usually other things they could be doing to maximise their results that are more important than nutrient timing.
Don't think there's any difference in how often you eat but I prefer 6 meals a day while bulking it's just easier to get the cals in. When I'm cutting i usually just eat 4. Problem is when you get used to eating so often you feel hungry all the time, miss a meal and your stomach lets ya know.
Wouldn't bother with a chiro mate most are just money grabbers. Some of those manipulations and cracking they do stop your injury healing so you think you need to keep going back to them as it never gets better. Trust me, I've spent a small fortune on them trying to sort out my SI joint pain...
As far as I can tell. There was a thread on here a while back and everyone was praising their products. I've used their epistane and megatren with good results.
1000 extra cals that's some eating lol
I know what ya mean I did my msten/tren cycle just started the start of a bulk and tried to stay lean but just ended up eating everything in sight because of the hunger. Still managed to stay relatively lean but did add a few "extra" pounds I didn't plan...
