    Worst training mistake you've made

    Hitting PR on bench press (245lbs) on Monday, squat on Wednesday (320lbs), deadlift on Friday (405lbs), and then running for an hour at sub seven-minute mile pace on Saturday, and then trying to squat heavy again on Monday and pulling a muscle that knocked me out for about a month and still...

    No more Mr. Hyde?

    Does anyone know why Mr. Hyde has been pulled from all the major supplement vendors?

    I need help figuring out a workout problem I'm having.

    After re-reading your post: no, do not base your work-out off of a 1RM of 250 if that is not your 1RM. If you can hit all the reps for 215, then your 1RM may now be more than 215 and I would try for around 225.

    I need help figuring out a workout problem I'm having.

    For how many weeks have you been doing the pyramid scheme for? Sometimes you hit a plateau and need to change things up. If you repeatedly aren't able to hit your reps for 225, you are probably at a plateau and I would make adjustments to your work-out. Some different options I like to do...

    I'm 6'5 and find squats extremely difficult.

    Squats hit more muscles than leg press. Squats are really a full body exercise and are excellent for training core stability. I'm 6'3" and I had to work at squatting too. I can leg press about as much as you can. But, I had to swallow my pride when it came to squats, and start out light. I...

    Topic of the week: Is Overtraining BS?

    Overtraining is real. But, I think you have to do a lot of volume with high intensity and not give your body enough time to rest in order to truly overtrain. For example, in high school I ran cross country and I ran very high mileage every week and never took a break. By the end of the...

    Chest Training Suggestions

    For chest, I start out really heavy with either bench press of incline press and do about 3-4 sets, with the last set being a double drop set. I then do another 6-8 sets of bench press varying the angle with higher reps. Then I switch to dumbbells or cables and do a couple sets of constant...

    Lagging arms/shoulders

    I used to do a similar split. I've found that taking one muscle group per day and just spending an hour destroying it and letting it recover for a week has given me impressive gains. It's actually not the work out that gets you stronger or bigger, it's the recovery. So, my split is...

    Triceps

    For adding mass: Skull crushers supersetted with close grip bench press. So, after you hit your goal for skull crushers, do not put the bar down. Immediately start pressing with that same bar until you hit failure. You can try this at various angles. I'm liking it with incline right now...

    Was a devout BB.com then NutraPlanet customer. Now where to?

    #Shatter or Jekyll and Hyde... If you take Mr Hyde, know what your caffeine tolerance is, since it has over 400mg of caffeine in one scoop.

    I just got a free tub of Pump HD that has zero caffeine and zero yohembine. I plan on taking it next week when I cycle off the stimulants. I will let you know how it goes... Currently I'm taking a scoop of Dr. Jekyll stacked with a scoop of Mr Hyde. My PWO's go in cycles. First C4, then...

    Teacrine - anyone tried it yet..?

    I've tried the new C4 and C4 50x. Both are good. I don't know that I notice a difference with the Teacrine. I've used C4 for years and have recently tried Anarchy, #Shatter Black Onyx, and Jekyll and Hyde. I liked them all better than C4 and are more exact with how much stimulant you are...

    Tips for wider lats?

    That makes more sense. I was really confused on your original post that squats weren't for quads, because they definitely work the quads. But, I agree, they are a full body lift, just as deadlift and bench press are too when done correctly.
