  1. Overall calorie intake.

    In one of your other threads you mention you train hard 5 days a week. Maybe you just aren't recovering. A couple years ago I got talked in to training 3 days on and 2 days off. My strength stalled. My weight stalled. I was dragging ass constantly. I stopped doing that and started training just...

  2. Winsteads Nutrition Info

    Haven't got that far yet but it is in the plans. I need to find a decent scald that people recommend. I measure the things I can with measuring spoons and cups. Haven't weighed anything yet.

  3. Winsteads Nutrition Info

    That's a good point. I've only been trying to count for 4 days so I'm definitely not good at it yet. BF is getting out of control getting up over 20%. So far I've learned I eat a hell of a lot more than I thought I did.

  4. Overall calorie intake.

    This crap where I still can't post links kind of blows.... You probably need to adjust your macros. I'm not hearing or seeing too many lifters eat 40/30/30. At a bare minimum you'll want 130g of protein per day, but honestly you'll probably want even more than that depending on how serious you...

  5. Winsteads Nutrition Info

    Anyone have nutrition info for Winsteads? Anyone good enough at this to guess? Ate there last night thinking it would be in myfitnesspal and found out the hard way it wasn't. What kind of joint doesn't release nutrition info? Guess I won't be eating there again. /flame suit on

  6. Clean bulk

    Dude, if it didn't run, jump, swim, or fly it isn't food. Eat food. Hit your macros. Save the powder crap for when you simply can't eat enough food.

  7. CTs SL 5x5 Round 1

    ...and the house wins for now. I've got the Dark Horse setup in the garage and it is a fantastic piece of equipment. I did a few sets of bench press at 135 and can definitely say I've lost ALOT of strength. I'd say I'm about 60% of where I left off. My 5x5 officially starts on Friday. :)

  8. CTs SL 5x5 Round 1

    ...And the Dark Horse is in. I'm having trouble getting around a corner to get it in the basement and some drywall has fallen victim, but I'll get it done if its the last thing I do. I literally need a millimeter to clear.

  9. Insulin spike to add mass

    I've heard or read somewhere that within an hour of the workout is fine. I think if you are spiking your blood sugar levels throughout the day you're going to find yourself packing on some unwanted fat. Focus on proper diet and keep the blood sugar experiments limited to immediately post workout.

  10. CTs SL 5x5 Round 1

    Invalid Link Removed The bench is in. This sucker is solid and weighs about 150lbs. I'm not at all concerned about getting under any amount of weight on this bench. It came fully assembled on a pallet. All I had to do is cut the strap and get it down stairs. Once the rack is in I will be able...

  11. CTs SL 5x5 Round 1

    YES. Guess who just ordered the Sorinex Dark Horse. I can NOT wait until that sucker gets here. :) Also order the Pendlay Bench so I should be set for a while. I've got dumb bells from 20lbs to 50lbs if I find I need them. I'm completely stoked. Finally got rid of the MultiGym and am replacing...

  12. Lagging arms

    How much sleep do you get? No I'm not joking. You have a busy schedule. I've been there so I know how hectic that can get. The sleep is an absolute must.

  13. Lagging arms

    Also man, you didn't say hey man, do this a couple times and back off. I think it is probably of material importance to mention that. Nothing should ever be assumed when a guy is asking for help.

  14. Lagging arms

    How is hitting fundamentals a BS answer? My point isn't that there is only one way to train. BUT, I think it IS true that if you aren't hitting your fundamentals you are going to hit plateaus earlier and have a tougher time getting past them. Your body needs a damn good reason to maintain excess...

  15. Lagging arms

    That is no joke. You know how light the weight needs to be to do a set of 50 reps? Jesus. Aside from that. all this isolation work doesn't freaking matter unless you are hitting your compounds. Even then it doesn't even matter unless you have advanced beyond being a beginner and into an advanced...

  16. Lagging arms

    If you do a 3 hour ARM workout you're insane. You grow outside the gym, not in it. You're going to overtrain, burnout and fail to recover prior to your next workout. I recommend following a known effective strength training program like a 5x5 or Wendler 5/3/1 if you are strong enough. There is...

  17. CTs SL 5x5 Round 1

    Dang. Check out the Sorinex Dark Horse. I'd post a link, but I can't.

  18. CTs SL 5x5 Round 1

    It's been a while for me. The trip to Vegas was the first of many ending up going every other week for 6 months straight only ending when I finally quit my job and got a new one with new demands. Things have stablized for me and I have finally sold the MultiGym and am now officially shopping for...

  19. Strongs Lift 5x5

    I guess I don't really see how you can dump the bar when you are in a bind squatting without risking serious injury. Your arms are pinned behind you pretty good. You aren't going to just let got of the bar without risking your shoulders or having the bar roll down your back. You can't just roll...

  20. Substituting dead lifts on modified 5x5 routine--need advice

    Can you start Deads with an empty bar and add 5lbs every workout? More than likely you started with more weight than you should or pushed past what you could actually perform, broke form, and then got injured. Start with 45lbs and SLOWLY work your way up. It won't feel like much, but you'll be...
