    I need to gain mass

    ^ This has worked for me as well. In addition to a post-workout shake and banana, I usually drink at least a half a gallon of milk per day. Easy way to get in those calories and some easy protein if you tolerate lactose well.

    How long do you take to recover from maxing out?

    I rarely do all out 1RM efforts any more (the older I get, the more it wrecks my ability to get quality sleep) but I usually work up to a 3-5RM on the big lifts (squat, deadlift, OHP, incline press, rowing/pulling movements) each "week". I put "week" in quotes because I don't have the recovery...

    What is the best technique for a dumb bell bent over row? if there is one.

    Be mindful of what your scapular movement looks like. Learning to be aware of what they were doing during rows helped me a lot with working what I wanted to work when it came to my back.

    I need to gain mass

    Sorry if someone else has mentioned this, but I've found that overcooking oats, then blending the sh*t out of them with some milk, then drinking them down is a great way to ingest way more than I can eat. My appetite has always been a weak point, but I can swallow 8-10 boiled eggs with milk...

    Ultra High Reps(25+) Training!

    I'm in to hear how the sets of 25 for deadlifts go once you start to go a little heavier.

    Minimum Effective Leg Workout?

    My legs were the biggest when I switched from heavy to higher volume squatting. I found that my quads improved significantly, all things left equal, when I switched from say working up to heavy set or two of 5 with 455 to doing 5 sets of 20 with 225. Threw up between the 4th and 5th sets the...

    Deadlift program?

    I second this. Madcow has helped me break deadlift PRs multiple times.

    My grip keeps holding me back on sumo/sumo romanian deadlifts

    Ed Coan has a great grip strength builder that I've had good results with. Here's the Invalid Link Removed and jump to the 8:40 mark for the details. Good video all around if you've got time for a watch and haven't seen it.

    Looking for Bodybuilders for Research Study

    Hey, fellas thanks for clicking. I'm starting a study on competitive bodybuilders sponsored by the Exercise Science Department at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado and I'm looking for participants over the age of 18 who're either actively competing or who have competed in the last five...

    Foods for power and strength?

    I feel stronger when I have more fat in my diet. Avocados, fish...etc is good, but I've had some great workouts the day after pizza and beer cheat meals. I know everyone has their favorite carb, but quinoa is the king in my opinion. You've got all the essential amino acids (rare for a plant)...

    Snatch Grip Deadlifts

    What do you think of the Klokov Press? I just added them in as accessory work and they're kicking my ass - I can only put up about 70% of my OHP.

    Snatch Grip Deadlifts

    I usually do something along the lines of a 5x5 when I deadlift and I use a snatch grip for the first 3-4 sets. It hits the traps a little more and forces me to get lower off the block. I think this makes my heaviest set feel a lot easier because all of a sudden I've got a way stronger grip and...

    Fast food

    I broke 220 with abs for the first time eating fast food anytime I wasn't going to make my bulking total for the day. It made me feel like sh** in the gym, which kept me from doing it too much, but it definitely kept my weight moving in the right direction when done in conjunction with all other...

    Chest symmetry

    Unilateral movements will help, but what has worked best for me is to increase my volume. I only notice that my right pec is bigger than the left when I get into 5x5 or 5/3/1 and am working on strength. Might apply here. For reference, last chest workout I did 13 total sets.

    tips to up my calorie intake?

    Just a little tip I've learned lately that is nice and subtle. Use frozen bananas instead of ice in your protein shakes. You'll up your calories a little and it's way tastier than ice.

    40 yard dash and leg day

    I think some box jumps, maybe some ladder work and some throws if you can find a way to do them. In the 40 it's all about getting up to max speed as quickly as possible, so you need to work on how explosive you can be in those first few strides. Ozzy is consistently on point and I agree on...

    Workout Question

    Six days a week is a lot of time in the gym. I remember being 15 trying to grow and hating the idea of spending less time in the gym, but sometimes a little more rest does you more good than a little more work. Up your calories, maybe add in 15-20 minutes of cardio 3x a week to stimulate your...

    The PR Thread

    Pulled 545 for a double at bodyweight of 183. Took 8 months off last year and it was the first time I've done any doubles/singles since coming back. Never quite made it to 600, but I'm growing and the numbers keep climbing! I'm into this thread.
