    Distilled water vs tap water ?

    Distilled water won't have the vitamins and minerals (as benmayro was saying) that tap water will. In the U.S. tap water is usually tested and held to a higher standard than most bottled water, so if it tastes good I'd go with the tap water!

    Pre-Contest Weekly Log

    Since the first of July (so for about 4 weeks) I've only been having carbs 1-2 days per week depending on how I felt mentally - if I was feeling pretty good and didn't need the little boost that comes with the carb up I'd skip that day and stick to my base diet which is this: 6 am - Protein...

    Pre-Contest Weekly Log

    3 weeks out, and I feel alright. Mainly in a battle to hold onto size as I've probably lost around 8-10 lbs of muscle since beginning my cut. Weighed in at 184.5 this morning after dropping about 3 lbs of water in the last day or so using Xpel and some other techniques. Thanks to A. Burns for...

    Pre-Contest Weekly Log

    Depleted and tired. Will update log and post up some progress pics tomorrow! Overall doing well, but feeling pretty flat because of lack of carbs. Had nothing but tilapia, spinach, broccoli, and chicken breast for the last 3 days. Check back in and give me some feedback tomorrow if you would...

    STITCHES AND WRKNOUT

    ^ Yes. If you've been training intensely, 10 days off might even be good for you. You'll come back refreshed and with renewed drive in the gym, and being out for that short a period of time won't really affect muscle mass or strength to a significant degree. Definitely not worth the risk of...

    Ab wheel/roller

    I prefer these to the ab wheel if you have access to a Swiss ball. Also weighted hanging leg raises held in the "L" position are great for the abs/core. Invalid Link Removed

    Let me know what you think.

    thicker rounder shoulder movements?

    I think rear delts have almost as much affect on thickness as the side delts. I'd start training them first, then work your way from front to back as someone above me said. Here's a killer delt finisher: Do it for 4 sets with 30 seconds between sets and it will feel like someone is inflating...

    Six meals every three hours a scam?

    We've got 30+ feet of digestive length in our bodies and you're supposed to believe that +/- 1 hour will make a significant difference in anything? Please.... The only reason I eat every 3-4 hours is when I'm trying to cram in 5,000-6,000 calories per day.

    Pre-Contest Weekly Log

    I've actually cut dairy out of my diet completely at this point, but during phases when I'm trying to grow I use the whole milk for the extra calories. I feel like it keeps my appetite up for the day if I get in a huge load of calories during the first meal of the day. Dairy messes with my...

    Severe elbow pain

    You might want to take a week or two and do some higher volume/lower intensity work to strengthen up all your connective tissues. Maybe don't go to failure and keep reps over 10 and see if that helps. It works for me when something connective-related starts giving me trouble. Maybe throw in...

    "HardGainer" Workout Review

    And eat, eat, eat. Then eat some more. Don't worry about it being too clean to start - newbie gains will have you growing like a weed if you stick to it and eat at least 200 kcal over maintenance!

    Is 2 SETS enough?

    I wouldn't get too caught up in what other people are doing unless it appeals to you. I see people everyday in the gym doing every kind of set/rep range and for some it works, for others not. I think it's more a matter of what stimulates your muscles best and keeps you gaining. Personally, I...

    Lat workout

    I start with pull-ups, then do Yates rows, neutral grip pulldowns and finish with decline pullovers. For me the biggest thing for getting the feel for the lats was using a neutral grip on the pulldown machine, starting with light weight and working up into the working sets. These things will...
