  1. Question about post workout carbs

    When I was bulking I would usually eat a pack of Skittles post-workout because I've heard it slows protein breakdown. Now that I'm cutting I don't know what to do because I've also heard it slows down the breakdown of fat as well, and makes weight loss slower. Should I make an effort to get...

  2. Sonnen tests positive for PED's

    You mean to tell me Invalid Link Removed this man is not 100% natural? Well damn...

  3. Sonnen tests positive for PED's

    Human Growth Hormone is currently not tested for in any major MMA organization. Add in the fact that most anabolics clear your system in a very short time frame. Most of these guys make bank based on their athletic performance, I wouldn't be surprised if 90%+ of the top guys use, but time their...

  4. 1 Favorite Ipod song while lifting

    vOd-T58qHLA A very alarming lack of Meshuggah in here. Click play, you won't regret it.

  5. need some serious help

    I would honestly recommend Starting Strength to anyone beginning weight training, regardless of goals. At this stage you don't really know enough about your body to put together a customized plan, by doing a basic strength program you can add mass and learn how your body responds to things.

  6. Sonnen tests positive for PED's

    Invalid Link Removed Not really surprising, I don't doubt that all the top tier fighters are using. Just sucks that he got caught, looks like no Silva v. Sonnen II now.

  7. Just got back from my first meet.

    Video of the best part of the meet just went up: Invalid Link Removed I really hope this goes viral, talk about committing to the pull.

  8. Singles vs Faster

    As a general rule of thumb, the more technical the lift the more time you should take to reset between reps to keep good form. I take 2-3 seconds to reset a deadlift, 5-6 to reset a clean.

  9. Stronglifts or starting strength ???

    If you are trying to drop weight and not gain it, I wouldn't really recommend either as you won't be able to make linear progression for very long on a calorie deficit.

  10. lifting wrist straps

    There is no reason to use straps unless you are a bodybuilder and do not want to involve the forearms. If you use chalk and dump the straps, your grip will grow quickly and you will never have a problem with it again.

  11. HYPERTROPHY

    DC training is NOT complicated. It gives you a split, you pick a bang for your buck exercise for each body part, and you do one rest pause set. Undulation is an optional part of the routine, and it's better not to do it if you're natural. Simple.

  12. Just got back from my first meet.

    It depends on the fed. At the meet I went to you could compete in the following: Raw: No wraps, no belt Classic: Belt and wraps Open: All gear allowed If you want to compete raw, I would find a raw division to lift in. When you have that many divisions in a meet, the competition is not very...

  13. Calorie Cycling

    Also wondering if anyone has had success switching from bulking to cutting on a regular basis? Say week of bulking / week of cutting for maintenance. Maybe week bulking / two weeks cutting for fat loss while keeping and maybe gaining a bit of strength?

  14. Just got back from my first meet.

    I could get to 1200 easy as long as I eat big. The training part of lifting is easy, it's the nutrition part that throws me off. I have no problem driving my numbers up for a meet, but it's hard as hell to do it without getting fat, lol.

  15. Calorie Cycling

    I'm really just concerned about the pros /cons of going that low on calories. Obviously on a steady deficit I wouldn't ever need to drop calories that low, but I find it hard to stay on a deficit for several months.

  16. Just got back from my first meet.

    Amazing experience. It was the Georgia State Meet. For being the strongest, most testosterone fueled people on the planet, powerlifters are some of the nicest guys on the planet. I started warming up in the back with a a bit of an older guy. We went through the motions and worked up to a single...

  17. Calorie Cycling

    I'm considering starting a calorie cycled diet. I need to stick with this diet for a long time, probably 5+ months. I'd like to get lean and stay lean. I plan on eating 1500 cals per day Monday-Friday (about a 1000 calorie deficit per day), and then taking the weekend off and eating what I want...

  18. What artificial sweetners have been show n to case problems.

    None have been proven to be bad for you. With that said there are obviously no studies done on the long term effects of artificial sweeteners, but I can't imagine them being bad even in large doses. I stick with Splenda (sucralose), it is derived from sugar, so it tastes good and it free from...

  19. Steroid Admission

    Tim Sylvia destroying Cabbage. Tim was most likely on Stanozolol (Winstrol) at the time of this fight: Invalid Link Removed Anyone who thinks that steroids don't give a huge advantage is kidding themselves. Look at Sylvia in this video compared to how he looks now, the edge is huge.

    You only pick up 5lb dumbbells because you're just 'toning' and don't want to bulk up.
