    Is there a good substitute for extension?

    I didn't mention pushups with hands near together/near your sides. Great for a good burn after your heavier sets, and they can be done anywhere, anytime. Cheers.

    Is there a good substitute for extension?

    Invalid Link Removed You can make these as easy or as hard as you like. Not sure if they'll aggravate your problem, though. I'm not saying drop the bench dips, but when I first started lifting I did a lot of those and they tore up my shoulders and did nothing for my arms. If you're okay doing...

    Joint pain supplement

    Cissus, chondroitin, glucosamine, fish oil and a diet high in Omega-3s have been helpful to me for joint pain. Also, even if you're pretty solid you should do a form check and make sure that everything is looking good as far as form goes. I've found that in attempts to go heavy sometimes form...

    Pre-Bulk Critiques (Pics from last show)

    As of Monday I'll be beginning my winter bulk, but before I finalize my programming for the next 20 weeks or so I wanted to get some feedback as per what folks think I should bring up. My quads/calves/hamstrings are priority number one at this point, and I'm not going to be hitting front delts...

    What do you think of this work out for strenght/hypertrophy

    I'm with Lou on this one. Way too much volume in my opinion. Look into a proven program and stick to it for at least 6 weeks and see what it does for you. If that's not your thing, I'd recommend keeping your gym time under 60 minutes. Hit it hard, keep rest intervals relatively short (less than...

    Strong lifts 5x5

    I just finished a 5x5 variation (Madcows) and it definitely made me stronger in the big lifts. My hamstring and chest development both improved, and my back got significantly stronger. I'm interested to see what the carry over will be once I get a few weeks into my current programming. I think...

    Testing 1rm deadlift each week?

    Haha I meant I haven't really trained the Big 3 with reps below 6-8 before. This is my first time trying a strength program. Sorry for the confusion.

    Testing 1rm deadlift each week?

    I've been going through a strength phase leading into a bulk - following a Madcows 5x5 program and I've put about 40 lbs on my deadlift in the last 9 weeks. Granted, I haven't really trained the Big 3 with reps below 6-8, but I'm consistently pulling heavier each week. Deads are only programmed...

    Will you gain much size of Strength Training/Powerlifting ?

    Also curious about your programming.

    Will you gain much size of Strength Training/Powerlifting ?

    If we're talking strong IFBB Pros (or just strong dudes in general) look at Johnnie Jackson. Invalid Link Removed Saw him on stage and his back and trap development is just ridiculous - very likely it has something to do with his powerlifting history.

    Will you gain much size of Strength Training/Powerlifting ?

    I've been doing Madcows 5x5 for the last 8 weeks and I've definitely noticed some improvements in my physique. In the past I've done mainly bodybuilding style workouts with higher rep ranges (10-15) with good results, but I feel like my chest is responding especially well to this training. Also...

    Caloric Surplus Question

    Is there an ideal surplus to run? In the past I've usually tried to get ~500 over maintenance, and I've had good experiences with it, but I've heard about people taking in 6,000-9,000 kcal daily during a bulk and I wondered if there was a benefit. You kind of reinforced my initial hypothesis...

    Caloric Surplus Question

    I'm wondering if, during a bulk, it makes a significant difference to eat more than 500 kcal above maintenance. I know you can grow with a surplus of 500 kcal, but I'm wondering if you'd grow faster if you took in say 1,000-1,500 above maintenance. Or would that just be stored as fat...

    3rd Cycle Review

    Do you think the kickstart would be more beneficial than using it to amplify the effects of the deca/test more towards the middle of the cycle than the beginning? My understanding is that using an oral to kickstart is to keep motivation/drive up until the other compounds start working. I'm not...

    3rd Cycle Review

    Just wanted to see if anyone could see any holes in my next planned cycle. This is my 3rd cycle. First was Sust @ 500mg/week with a dbol kicker. 2nd was run into a contest - 750 mg/test p with a dbol kicker and winny for the last 3 weeks. Just finished PCT from the 2nd cycle and I've...

    Bored

    As Ozzie said, you can't really have high volume with high intensity (I'm talking training at >85% of your 1RM) That said, I'd recommend a 5x5 variation or maybe DC. Not knowing anything about you as per training time or stats it's hard to say, but DC is too intense for a lot of beginner and...
