    How do you get vascular?

    Getting leaner and vasodilators will usually bring them out more noticeably while working out

    compound bulking split - good approach?

    As far as your question regarding calves: the soleous, trained by seated or bent leg toe presses/raises of sorts, is a slow twitch dominant postural muscle so it has a lower growth potential than the gastroc. Due to that I would say doing just standing calf raises is ok. As an aside, I think...

    compound bulking split - good approach?

    Regarding the db bb o/h pressing: although I believe the difference to be negligible (if anyone has studies or data or whatever to show otherwise I'd love to read and learn), your logic and the fact your volume isn't overly high makes it seem reasonable. I mention more pulling simply bc I...

    compound bulking split - good approach?

    Is there a specific reason you chose to include both seated BB and DB press? x2 on more pulling and I would also advise you to add more posterior chain work on your leg day. Something like Glut ham raises, good mornings or some kind of step up would be my personal choices.

    on cycle routine

    I would add some rear delt. and mid/low trap work in there on your back or shoulders day. They can even be small exercises like face pulls tucked in somewhere but I'd definitely add something in those areas.

    how many sets per exercise and workout?

    Doing deads last is definitely a double-edged sword though. Having fatigued upper back muscles and, even more problematic, core muscles is a recipe for disaster if you're not careful. It's night and day different between athletes (not to say BBers aren't) and BBers though, so I do understand.

    Muscle Fiber Activation and Rep Range pt 1

    You also need to consider that pros are on massive amounts of sauce and are absolutely awful to make comparisons to. In addition, consider your purpose. I myself train for function not size so doing 20 reps for a little more size isn't more valuable than training heavy or with a high force...

    winged scapula now what?

    Unless we are using different terms, a winged scap is the result of weak scapula retractors or relatively weak compared to your protractors. Your rhomboids, mid and low traps should be your focus. If anything, you probably have overly tight serratus and pec minor, which is a pretty common issue...

    deadlift, squat, rdl - always keep the wieght on heels? (srs)

    Moving onto your toes also causes your knees to track forward which increases stress at the knee

    Blacking out setting up for squat (need help)

    If it continues, alternatives could be Front Squats or single leg squats (rear leg elevated is my preference) loaded with DBs. Not much help with your diagnosis but I certainly wouldn't want to continue squatting with what you described but I also wouldn't want to give up the benefits of...

    Football Training Conflict

    Getting larger (or smaller for that matter) is going to be largely dependent on your diet.

    Training a 14 year old

    Teach him the importance of balance at the shoulder joint before he gets to his high school weight room and benches every day without ever doing any pulling. The scap retractors have got to be the single most neglected group I see in incoming college freshmen

    Forarm elbow strain

    I think we'd be able to help out more if you described it a little better. Where is the pain located (lateral/medial elbow, forearm flexor/ extensor muscles, etc.) What kind of pain? and what kind of movements bother it? As a generic start I would say make sure you take your elbow and wrist...

    Plateau Workout

    I don't focus on the Bench much so my normal training volume is almost certainly lower than most but provided there are no signs of overtraining present, I'll occasionally (maybe once every 8 weeks) use a 10x10 rep scheme on my biggest lift. It presents a new stimulus with the volume and the...

    Any thoughts on SAIS Mass-Building Routine?

    I agree with the non-linear approach. I feel you'd see better results by having a focus on each day as opposed to trying to hit each rep range each training session. As far as the training to failure each day, I'm not a huge fan and you'll certainly have to monitor yourself for signs of neural...
