Along with that, what I can do for my lats (upper back)?

Jim, consider the MAX OT thing very, very carefully. Going super-heavy can be dangerous unless you know what you’re doing.

I take it you’re a beginner, so please heed my warning.

ā€œBlack shit on faceā€ā€¦hehe. Dirty, man, but funny:-)

Is there a limit on how much protein the body can process in each serving?
And if so, how long should you wait before taking more protein?

Thanks for the advice. I’m not trying to go super heavy, or really follow it that way. I do 3 sets of 8 for all my lifting, and try to use a weight such that the last rep or so is a struggle. When I get to my 3rd set, I usually can only do 6 or 7 reps. If I can do 8 without a struggle, I bump up the weight until it is.

Yeah, if I could look like that, I wouldn’t mind if I had black sh!t on my face.

Someone PM me as to where I can get Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate). All the sites I used before seem to be gone.

I didn’t want srk pervs hitting on me so I blacked it out obviously.
I’m about 195 when that was taken( I have big legs),and I can’t do any powerlifting anymore because of my back so I’m probably never gonna pick it up again. It’s not worth the pain to do it.

I want to be about 220-225…im still a basketball player after all so I need to be able to move.

I get Nolvadex from a local store, but I’ll try and find somewhere online for you. Gimme a little while.

195lbs I see, about ya face, ha yea I understand why you did that, this place is full of freaks lol.

I thought you was about 180 but close enough, thats what Im aiming for, the road is long…

I’m also 6’3 or a bit more so that makes me a bit heavier

I’m 6’ and 175 now, but I still have more body fat to lose…I’m so pissed. I thought I would be done by now (losing the body fat). I certainly have to work more on building muscle as well.

Im competing june 3rd at gavilan College in Gilroy Cali, say a prayer for me :slight_smile:

If you guys do back/bi’s and chest/tri’s (or is it chest/bi’s? back/tri’s?), when do you do stuff like legs or shoulders?

On other days?

wtf is is cheating ???cheat meal etc etc ???wtf ?

That’s when you eat meals you normally wouldn’t eat on a diet. Like pasta, or something. Don’t overdo it though.

I guess I meant, what’s your guys’ schedules like.

Also, Nep2une, good luck, man.

Okay, here’s a problem I’ve always had.

I always tell my friends stuff like, ā€œYo, how can I get bigger X.ā€ Then they’re like, ā€œHere check out this article.ā€

I mean, they’re right I guess. And then in the article, there’s like NINE exercises…FOR ONE MUSCLE GROUP. For instance, ā€œCan you help me sculpt my shoulders?ā€ And then I see the article, and it’s like…shit, that’s the same amount of time I spend in one ENTIRE workout session. It’s ridiculous that I’m going to spend that much time only on one group. So, half-in-half and forget half of all the exercises they mention?

Do you guys do one muscle group per week? If so, what’s the muscle gains like? And, what happens if you miss a day? Does that totally fuck the schedule? (I go to school, and I work, I gotta admit that I miss days every once in a while.)

Missing days really aren’t that big a deal.
But yes I do have a shoulder day once a week where I do 6-7 exercises.

I work on a 5 day split currently but I need to cut it back to 4 because I can’t handle all the weightlifting and basketball.
I’m eating way too much just to maintain now.

^^
dam that must be hard because your runing round burning all that shit off, lifting weights and doing a sport is difficult.

Im trying to gain, I dont have time for sports but I wont be doing any of that for awhile anyway.

Nine different exercises for one muscle group is too much. Way too much. No one does ā€œone muscle group per week.ā€ Maybe you meant each muscle group once a week?
High intensity sets and progressive weight in the gym work better than sheer volume. I don’t know what kind of articles you were looking at, but something seems wrong there unless they were just giving 9 possible lifts you could be doing.

Throw that garbage out the window and find yourself a serious lifting program to follow. Any program you pick should focus heavily on compound lifts and eating like a horse. Look up a good program like Max OT or something HST based, but pick a program that uses periodization schemes. You’ll get quicker results that way.

Lifting sessions generally should last between 30 minutes to an hour though a tiny bit longer won’t hurt too much. Lift too long and it’s counter-productive…blah blah blah catabolic states.

Missing a day every so often will just slow things down. No big deal unless you want quick results. Just make it up the next time you go.

He’s prolly seeing those stupid articles in flex magazine or those other muscle magz that have articles that explain how to put an inch on ur arms in one workout GUARANTEED blah blah.
