I’ve got a pretty good routine and I’m happy with it for now, but thanks for the offer basically monday = chest tuesday = legs wed = back and biceps thursday = cardio + random crap or day off friday = shoulders and triceps my goal is pretty much to lose more fat while not losing any strength (that wonderful #3 option). ---

> [@sureshot!](#): > > Word, it’s all about the legs biatch! ( if you want to grow that is ) Truth and so many people have no idea. They neglect their leg workout, but those are the largest muscles in the body and thus can produce a lot of hormones etc for muscle growth all through your body. Lift big and eat big and don’t skip out. One more thing, if you’re cramping at the gym you’re not hydrated enough. Drink water fool. ---

elbows are in, and my form is amazing now since I’m paranoid about getting hurt again. I tried DC’s fix last night and it was pretty good, I’m going to do that a bunch more. ---

I just did the DC fix thing right now and it felt pretty good. I don’t really have rotator issues but i get a lot of pain in the rear near where the lat would be coming up to the rear delt. ---

a lot of info here. My problem is, my metabolism is so danm fast. I can eat a full meal and be hungry an hour later. For some reason, muscle milk, as well as most protien shakes taste like ASS and I get sick if i drink them. So if I go to the gym with maybe a half full stomach, I start loosing energy about an hour into working out. Meh, gotta find a better diet I guess. I should re iterate that I am not what you would call a power lifter by any means. I’m simply going to get “cut”, IE: most of my work outs are 3 sets of atleast 20 reps… opposed to 3 sets of 8 reps ---

The DC shoulder fix is legitimate… I could go on for hours about it, but I won’t, and will hope all of you at least try it a few times. After doing it every shoulder day for a couple months, the flexibility in my shoulders is the best it’s ever been, and my hands slowly have gotten closer and closer together on the bar/stick. I fucked my rotator cuff up doing really heavy weighted dips… took a long time to recover. These helped immensely, although I’m pretty sure if you spoke to a physical therapist about it, they’d curse them up and down and say they were very harmful, so take it all with a grain of salt and realize most “proof” and “fact” are really just isolated ancedotes. ---

You just need a better protein i hate a ton of them as well. Right now i take the Optimum Nutrition 100% whey Chocolate Mint with ice cold water and it is amazing. 2. Yes you do. I dont know what you look like so it is hard to tell but it is a rare case for someone to be ecto to the point of which they can’t eat enought to provide proper energy. 3. I absolutley hate it when people say this because odds are if you showed me a picture of your “dream” body it would involve more muscle mass. To achieve this you need lower reps and higher weight. Second you are nt going to get “cut” from you doing higher reps being "cut is a measure of bodyfat % You can be shrinkwraped on 3-5 reps and a large fatass on 100 reps per set. Before i say anything else can you say exactly what you are trying to get out of working out? Because diet and exercaise advice really dosen’t mean shit unless it is catered toward what you are trying to do. > [@sureshot!](#): > > The DC shoulder fix is legitimate… I am going to keep doing it and see what i think but man it felt great in a very painfull way. ---

I saw a trainer geared toward motocross racing. He had me doing a ton of reps with lighter weight. I’m talking 50-80 reps per set. I’m looking for muscle endurance… To put it in simpler terms, more like a soccer/hockey player than a football player. ---

I use 100% ON Whey also, plenty of flavors, all are pretty good. I’ve tried musclemilk before… it’s OK when used sparingly- I’m not a fan of MRPs or powders that have anything other than protein in them, so i’ll likely not buy it again. How old are you sedlmeier? You should try and count how many calories you are taking in on an average day… it may not be as much as you think ---

Are you working out for your sport or are you working out for your body? If you can’t give a clear answer then divide them into percentages. Soccer and hockey players really do not have similar bodytypes. Not all football player are big either so just do us a favor and find a pic of your ideal body. BTW no touching yourself while looking for pics you fag. ---

I will stop trying to help because although i have a nice ripped six pack bench 300+lbs and can fun 10+miles on moments notice you seem to have your mind made up on how you want to train. This thread was about nutrition and we gave that to which you just think your metabolism is too fast which it is not. The moral of the story is you need to just eat more often(5-7) meals a day and if you are really running out of energy(which i do not hink you are)then try upping the amount of carbs you are taking in. You are hittin muscle failure or anerobic capacity and it is not diet related IMO. ---
