So those of us who specialize in that area can help!
No one asked you anyway.. :saw:Just use the off topic area. This forum is mostly dedicated to homebrewing and a few other things..... Sorry but I don't vote for a BB section... Talk to ya...

No it wouldn't. The bodybuilding/powerlifting sections don't breed immaturity; teens do. We can easily have logical questions about training when on.Yea, I also vote no, this is a nutrition/homebrew site, it will take away from our specialty, like wardogs says...heres your training section: High reps when cutting, low reps when bulking. There, done. And yes a powerlifting/exercise forum would put us one step closer to bb.com
High reps for cutting and low reps for bulking? Thats bullshit ya know. Or were you being sarcastic?Yea, I also vote no, this is a nutrition/homebrew site, it will take away from our specialty, like wardogs says...heres your training section: High reps when cutting, low reps when bulking.

buddy, how's that sarcastic? thats the fact. Your goals while cutting is obviously lost of body fat and toning....so this should be backed up by using high rep sets. Opposite with bulking. Your goals should be to add mass and if some bf is added, then so be it (although, i go on clean bulks when i do bulk...so minimal fat gains). with mass/size gains wanted, you shoudl stick with lower reps (5-6, some exercises stretching out to 8 reps) for best strength/size gains. For hypertrophy, bump that rep schem up to around 8-10...possibly 12 reps)

LOL. I hate that word 'toning'; it sounds like a friggen car. This isn't true. You should lift the same way whether you are bulking or cutting, but you should just throw in cardio and worry about your diet with cutting. You shouldn't increase the reps to 10-12 if you still want strength, because you will still get cut if you leave the reps at 5, but focus on throwing in some treadmill and counting your calories.

What? You can't tone a muscle. You should keep the reps the same while cutting and bulking.

Sounds good.I think a Exercise Science/Training section would be adequate, its going to be inevitable, look at all the training questions already and the articles on stretching, muscle fibers etc. might as well combine them in 1 section and keep them out of the off topic section. The off topic section now is BS posts and exercise science/training questions.....I think my vote has swung, but not a powerlifiting/bodybuilding section, rather Exercise Science/Training.
Exactly, training is to build and or/maintain muscles. Your diet and cardio determines whether you get ripped or massive. No magic rep or volume schemes. Just more or less calories, and keeping the muscle around/adding to it. If I wanted to "tone" something I wouldn't be lifting a weight, I'd be playing with a pink thighmaster.Originally posted by Big H
