    4 weeks out ( men's physique ) please help!!!!

    I don't have enough knowledge about anabolics to give you a good answer. When I competed last I dropped the test 2 weeks out and started PCT the week after the show. I was pretty dry, but I know I could've been drier. I'm hoping someone with a little bit more experience can chime in and help...

    4 weeks out ( men's physique ) please help!!!!

    Others might chime in on this, but starting PCT 2 weeks before your competition sounds like a bad idea. As far as carbs, I think it depends on how you react. I can get fairly shredded at 100-150g carbs per day, but I drop them down to about 40-50/day at about 1.5 months out with one carb up...

    Clenbuterol

    Don't mean to derail this thread, but for contest prep purposes how does clen impact fluid retention? If it was being run 2on-1off or maybe 3-1, can it be run straight through the show?

    Tired of being stuck

    I'm with you, man. I wouldn't say I'm exactly advanced, but I follow Madcows 5x5 and it has taken me from 275 to 545 in the squat over the course of a few cycles interspersed with some bodybuilding style splits. I've just had to adjust the progression as I've adapted. And EAT EAT EAT.

    Tired of being stuck

    Also, my biggest gains on both the bench and overhead press came from doing very heavy dips. I put ~40lbs onto my max OH Press by putting 60lbs on my dip 10RM. Might be worth trying if you continue to stagnate.

    Tired of being stuck

    Someone else sort of mentioned it, but if you're not following a proven program you're just gambling against the odds. No offense, but there's no way you could craft a program as effective as some of the ones recommended above. That said, if you do get onto a solid program and make good...

    Need a bigger back(lats)!!

    Ozzie mentioned deads, but I think they deserve mentioning again. They've done more for my back (and entire physique really) than any other exercise save squats. By building up the traps and erectors your entire back will look better. One thing that I've found effective that Ozzie didn't...

    What are the best rear delt exercises!

    This. I love these heavy partials. I'm also a fan of facepulls and inverted overhand rows on the TRX if you have access.

    How much LBM can you gain on a cycle? and overtraining...

    If you're eating healthy and eating lots, plus getting a lot of sleep, you should be recovering enough to keep training. DOMS isn't necessarily indicative of a great workout, but could also mean you're not eating the right stuff to rebuild after your newly more intense workouts. Like hvactech...

    Shoulder & Leg Routine. Please evaluate them?

    You're completely neglecting rear delts which is a recipe for disaster. As BM said, you should replace the seated presses with standing OH presses, you should incorporate some face pulls or something more beneficial for the rear delts (also, start with them as you've probably got a structural...

    Help to gain mass on calves

    I'd struggled with calves for a long time, and they're still nothing to brag about, but I've been doing a modified routine I read about on here that has been working for me. The premise was that to force some growth from the gastroc, the soleus needs to be completely exhausted first. The Soleus...

    Is Specific Hip Adduction Work Needed?

    Today was assistance work for squats and deads. Re' Ozzie's suggestion I tried some wide stance deep box squats and liked what I felt - it certainly hit what I was hoping it would. Felt the upper thighs brushing more than usual when I finished my last set. I'll be adding them into rotation...

    Is Specific Hip Adduction Work Needed?

    On the occasional accessory day for legs I usually put my focus on hip abduction, extension and flexion work, but I was wondering if there would be a need to directly target the adductors, and if so, what would be the best method. Hopefully there is something more functional than the "good girl"...

    Best program?

    I love Madcows 5x5. About to start another 10 week rotation at the end of the month. Eat big, follow the routine and you'll get stronger.

    Nausea after even light lifting

    Are you drinking enough water? I usually will feel some nausea if I'm not getting in enough fluids throughout the day/before I get to the gym. I'm sure others will have some more detailed input.

    Close or Wide grip preacher...

    This is anecdotal, but I've found it to be the best exercise both for pumping the biceps and making it feel like the "lower" bicep is working. At the end of your biceps routine, load up an EZ curl bar with some weight you can get for about 15 reps. Standing, bring your shoulders back, retract...
