Hey what do you all think of that Sobe No Fear supplementary drink?
Yeah, go ahead and workoutā¦if you are worried about it, then just take it easyā¦in fact, the first couple weeks on a new program (especially a periodized one) should be light and you should be hammering form and finding the weights you are going to use for each given exerciseā¦(important when you start changing intensity) Since I write my own programs, the first couple weeks I have to play around and tweek it a little tooā¦
Yeah, I still get madd sore sometimes, depending on what week Iām in, and it has yet to affect performance. I keep loading up the bar with more weight, sometimes even surprising myself.
Oh yeah, and donāt forget to WRITE THINGS DOWN. I definitely want to hear ur progress. Donāt expect anything magical, but my training partner and I improve weekly. I think he put 30 or 40lbs on his Stiff legged deadlift last month.
Rest pause is where you take longer between reps so you can do more. For instance you are doing squatsā¦When I squat, I inhaleā¦holdā¦exhale comin upā¦inhaleā¦squatā¦exhale comin up. An example of rest pause would be inhale, squat, exhaleā¦inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, squatā¦get my drift?? U rest just a lil in the middle of the set when ur locked out at the top.
^Gotcha. :tup:
ya, i am writing shizzle down, the first couple of weeks is definately experimantory always have to be, since you gotta see what weights you can pushā¦
anyway, i thought it was always a bad a idea to workout when you are soreā¦

Great article! Nice find, thanks for this Magnus :tup:
Given the circumstances itās fine. If you did 18 sets of chest on monday and wanted to hit chest again on thursday and u were still soreā¦then it becomes a bad idea lol.
I imagine I would be sore all week if/when I attempt full body routines.
Tremendous article, read the whole thing. Thanks again Magnus. Can you give me some thoughts on cutting bodyfat? I know youāve said before that itās mostly a function of diet and not so much changing your training habits. What Iām wondering is, how would you structure your cardio when you were looking to cut bodyfat?
āSince you donāt have to diet as hard in situation B, the risk of muscle loss is much lower than in situation A. In fact, because of the possibility of losing a significant amount of muscle during the cutting phase, you could very well end up with no muscle gain after a year of bulking and then cutting.ā
Intriguing. I guess the dogma-fighting has to happen on this site, too.
Does anyone have a pics of 5-20% body fat?
pic 1: This is 5%.
pic 2: This is 6%.
Something like that. I donāt really understand the numbers.
Those pictures of jorant and juicemonkey are around5-6 percent I think.
Ok if a person is 200lbs @10% bodyfat, they are carrying 20lbs of total body fatā¦get it??
around 10% is visible absā¦
Yeah, Jorant and juicemonkey posted up some good pics.
I want to start lifting in the morning, before I have to go to school because when I get home some days, Iām just tired as hell.
So my question is, when I get up in the morning, should I lift before or after I eat breakfast? I know I should get post workout protein and nutrients, but I also wake up with a pretty hungry stomach.
eat first thing in the morning, every morningā¦after you lift, get ur shake onā¦then eat again in an hour or 2.
Cool, but now if I have a heavy breakfast, is it fine if I lift right after Iām done eating? or should I wait X amount of time before I lift?
the illusion thing of looking bigger when you are cutting (getting smaller) is strange in that articleā¦although take into consideration that first dude that he uses as an example is obviously on steriods, so you can probably actually get bigger while cutting under those circumstancesā¦
first week is done, feels good, i did the sumo presses instead of good morningsā¦

That 2nd to last guy dropped his BF% by a decent amount, but Iām not sure if Iād want to be like that. Heās in good shape, but that seems way too skinny, well, for me anyways.
Yes the first guy is juicin for sure.
You may LOOK bigger AFTER you cutā¦WHEN you are shirtless lol. But in all realityā¦most of us wonāt look bigger, just better.
I have put on too much fat, time to cutā¦I will never dirty bulk again.
I donāt remember the pics too well. But if I remember them correctly, then Iām glad that the article said ā10% is easyā ācause 5% must be a fuckinā chore.
Iād love to see pics up to 30% body fat. I want to gauge where Iām at. Iām pretty sure Iām under 30ās, but I donāt know where. And no, not even Superman could see my abs.
Iāve noticed a gentle rocking motion in myself and others when Iām curling. Itās not the āuppercut curlā though. Is this anything to worry about?
I wouldnāt worry about it necessarilyā¦but it does nothing for your biceps. You want to kill the biceps? Widen the stance and bend the knees, keep elbows down at ur sides and curl without any sway.
Cool. I do bend the knees. I try to bend my knees for everything, including military press. Should I be doing this?
How wide of a wide stance?
