    6 Day Split... hows it look ?

    In addition to what rodja said, pretty much any upper/ lower and push/pull split will have you going 2x a week as well. The difference is most full body routines train movements as opposed to 3-4 exercises per muscle group, therefore, far less volume. So instead of chest and tris, you may see...

    Training Material

    As far as diet is concerned, don't worry about specific diets or calorie counts just yet. The first step should be to cut back and eventually eliminate unhealthy, less nutrient dense foods and see how you react (whether you start to lose and lean up or not). At that point then you can start to...

    Back & Shoulders. Opinions?

    Just be mindful that if you have a chest day, back day and shoulder day you'll be working the pectoral girdle (hard and heavy each day, I presume) 3x a week. Absolutely possible but it may not be ideal for you. Just monitor your shoulders bc overuse injury may set in a little faster.

    what am i doing wrong?

    You should stop being so condescending bc you've made numerous incorrect statements in this thread alone. Creatine does not operate by increasing glycogen stores, for one, and secondly, d.o.m.s. is not caused by lactic acid nor is it, at all, an indication of a good workout. Sore doesn't...

    getting frustrated need motivation

    The core musculature has a handful of functions. Training it with the compound lifts alone doesn't include half of the functions you experience in sport or life, in general. It's also not an ideal strategy for hypertrophy, obviously.

    Explosive training schedule

    50% is a little low. I'd shoot between 70 and 90 with ocassional work above 90 if technique permits. In my experiences that's even too low to work on technique with the oly lifts because the bar will behave differently in terms of receiving the bar in the rack position with added weight. I...

    I need more arm mass!

    The acute hormonal responses from resistance training won't be large enough to cause noticable growth like exogenous hormones would. I believe there was an article on this site outlining this recently, actually

    Are Deep Squats Bad for your Knees

    I don't think anybody is arguing that it's dangers for the acl and pcl are far overstated but there is legitimate question as to the long term affects of heavy loading with regards to the articular cartilage and the menisci, which are important as well.

    masters programs

    Ideally, I'd like to work with teams as a strength coach. I've been looking/ leaning towards Springfield for some time now but was looking for any outside advice just to make sure I hadn't overlooked another option.

    'Maximum Strength' Training Program by Eric Cressey

    Ah, my apologies. I wasn't trying to sound confrontational about it. But, yes, 16 weeks. Unfortunately I haven't tried it so I can't speak to that.

    Are Deep Squats Bad for your Knees

    As stated in the article, the issue seems to lay in the menisci and articular cartilage. If I'm not mistaken peak forces on the acl occur at 30ish degrees of flexion and forces on the pcl increase until 90 degrees where they peak and decrease as you go beyond 90.

    'Maximum Strength' Training Program by Eric Cressey

    I'm not going to write the entire program out of respect for him and, quite honestly, it would be a mess to type. However, I can provide a general overview. There are 4 phases. In order, they are foundation , build, growth and peak. Each phase consists of 4 weeks following a high, medium, very...

    Sport question

    If possible, try running off of the treadmill. They tend to alter running mechanics in addition to boring the ever loving hell out of you, as mentioned.

    Training making me fat?

    I understand and It's hard for some to resist the urge to keep pounding away but the weight room is a great example of more not always being better. Aside from seeking out help from medical professionals and or time off, I would start by backing training down to a max of 2 hours and, ideally...

    Training making me fat?

    First and foremost, break up your training into more days with less gym time or just cut back overall. Serum testosterone levels will begin to fall around the 60-90 minute mark. If your issue is indeed test: cortisol issues you need to minimize the damage done in that regard. You don't need to...
