I think you will adjust. I had worked in a door shop warehouse a number of years ago that involved moving around a lot of solid core doors. For the first week and a half or two, I kept getting sorer and sorer and would workout every two to three days afterwards. After about a week and half or...

Somewhat depends on what your goals are and what styles you're training (not to mention number of reps and sets). Something to remember is that increased Squat poundages can tend to bring up Deadlift poundages, but it's usually not the other way around. A lot of people can increase their Deads...

Just recently tried them for the first time. In spite of comments to the contrary, I have been pleased with their separate Casein and Whey Concentrate powders containing non-premium Vanilla flavoring with Splenda. Prices are typically better than proteinfactory's to boot.

Steak or whole eggs are good alternatives.

Some really good tips. Also, I would add put your short-term goals on a piece of paper and require yourself to check them out whenever you get urges like that. Whether you're trying to get to a certain BF% in a particular time frame or just trying to minimize fat gain on a bulk cycle...

It depends on the way you've trained in the past. Higher rep training can dispose to sarcoplasmic growth as well as heavy growth of the Type I fibers. Focused heavy training tends to leave the Type I's to atrophy and previous sarcoplasmic gains to be lost.

You also have to take into consideration the shearing forces on your knees. When walking down the stairs with added weight, they become hellacious. At the very least, walk backwards down the stairs. The fact that a lot of stairs I've come across aren't really wide enough to fit an entire...

Pearled Barley is a very healthy source of slow carbs.

I love grits with butter or butter and cheese, but I don't think they're as healthy as oats. They are better for immediately post-workout, but you have to seriously limit the butter then for their pw benefit.

Actual muscle tone is not best achieved with low weights and high reps because muscle tone is primarily a result of a muscle's myofibral and sarcomeral density as well as its neurogenic sensitivity. These are best developed through high-tension (as in heavy) and/or high-speed lifting. The low...

By far, the cheapest I've ever come across is ground turkey. Try seasoning it different ways. Mackerel's very cheap (and very healthy) too. And with the eggs, there's a number of ways to cook them and different seasoning approaches to give them a different flavor.

The key to good workouts on the CKD (in my experience, at least) is to a. make sure you take full advantage of the carb-up by not doing any exercise the day of prior to your first workout after the carb-up and b. use stimulants (ephedrine and caffeine or yohimbine and caffeine) to energize...

Dietary Fiber consists of both Soluble and Unsoluble types of Fiber. What that means then is that there are 5 grams of carbs. 3 of those grams are dietary fiber and therefore shouldn't be counted toward your daily carb (as in, for energy) intake. Of the 3 grams of dietary fiber, 2 grams are...

It may just be due the particulars of my levers, but I am not able to maintain a straight back going anywhere near the floor from a conventional stance with the dumbells in front of me. I have to hunch over. I don't have a problem maintaining a straight back with any other variation. I...

Try an upper body push day every 5-7 days consisting of weighted Dips and/or heavy Benching and Overhead Pressing finishing off with 3-4 sets of your favorite Tri exercise, and I can almost guarantee you'll see your tri's grow if you get plenty of calories, protein and rest.
