  1. Natty Stack advice from the pros..You guys!

    Personally I think best bang for your buck is PA and creatine mono. Those are the staples i stick with. If I feel like dropping money on something with great results I do a real cycle.
  2. Help!!!!!!

    Most of the time when people tell me they can't lose weight they aren't tracking calories close enough. When cals get low people tend to lie to themselves. I travel for work and eat out a lot. If you have to make a guesstimate during a cut be more conservative on your portion size when tracking...
  3. Low cost high protein meals

    Tuna, cottage cheese, and salsa. Weird combo but goes good with some tortilla chips. Check out "protein chef" on youtube. Lots of great ideas and he even prices out some of the meals.

  5. Carb cycling

    I don't bother counting green veggies like spinach and broc. No carbs days are under 50g for me and not counting greens hasn't neg effected my body comp at all.
  6. Chest symmetry

    Personally, before you get into your real training I would get some lighter work in with dumbells (around 50-60%) just to get more volume on that side. Nothing crazy to totally pre-exhaust but 2-3 sets before u really get into it. It will take time for sure. Good luck!
  7. Form Check

    Yep I'm set with breathing and bracing... Just not communicating jk. Thanks, ill have to check out the videos on hips and engaging the lats.
  8. Form Check

    I take a breath and exhale through my "core" which tightens it all up including my abs and back. Hard to explain I guess but I think I'm doing it correctly. So, I'm not exactly flexing them as u may have gathered from the previous post. Does that sound more correct or am I totally off base on...
  9. Form Check

    I guess I've never focused on engaging the lats. I've always just made a tight raack for the bar and tightened my stomach/abs through breathing and getting it tight. Thanks for the cues!
  10. Form Check

    I had to google what that was but before I lift I tighten my upper back and core, but how do I ensure the Psoas is braced?
  11. Form Check

    I typically squat in construction style boots because the are solid soles with a incline/lift in the back. Im a cheap ass and dont want to spend $100 on shoes to squat in. You hit the nail on the head. When I open my hips up more I get more pressure on my lower back. Also, my main focus is...
  12. Form Check

    This was my deload week and was perfect time to start tweaking my form. Below is my modified DL and my squat which is pretty much the same, minus the wiggles. Only thing I can think of is on the DL i got tight completely parallel and then sank/loaded my hips then pulled. Im assuming I should...

    Thanks for the feedback. Squatted yesterday for higher reps and made sure I went a little deeper. No jitters with lighter weight but the heavier the weight the more uncomfortable I get with my foot positioning. Thinking about marking it on the floor so I don't have to think about it or feel it...
  14. Form Check

    Thanks!!! I'm going to check it out today!
  15. Form Check

    So last year I had a slight tear in my right meniscus (tried a pistol squat without any warm up and horrible form) that did not require surgery but bothers me when I break parallel... Even when I have no weight and taking a deuce. So my knee is not 100 and feels weaker in general but either...
  16. Form Check

    When you say squat to depth do you mean parallel or below? On higher rep sets I go a lot lower but I personally don't feel comfortable breaking parallel with heavy weight for me. I had a slight tear in something in my knee (name slips my mind right now) and going heavyand low scares me. Looking...

    You are right about the power cage; I havent maxed on squats in fear of my life ha. I looked into getting one and found a bunch of weights and bar on craigs lift and the rack you see came with it for free. Think I might sell it and I actually have a real nice olympic bench press and get a power...
  18. Form Check

    Thanks for the feedback! I truly dont feel comfortable in my set up for squat anymore hence the wiggling and form check. Im glad that my knees over arent to big of an issue and i mentally always try to push my knees out... my knees are my biggest worry and why I want to make sure i keep...
  19. Form Check

    I have been lifting for a long time but I am really trying to clean up for form, specifically on squat. Im 30 now and want to be lifting for another 20 years and sh!tty form will probably decrease my chances of being a jacked old man ha. Ive really been working on my squat.I started doing box...
  20. Vujades BLR Rebirth Log - its time to get the boyz back!

    I have never tapered down a on a cycle but have always wondered if it would be more benficial. Anyone know if there are any studies? It seems like there would be some logic between jumping off a cliff into pct compared to walking down a hill (tapering down) to get to the same point.
