thanks Boss Man. See, I used to do every exercise 5-6 sets in a pyramid, but I don't have the time for all that these days and I can better quality to lifts. Plus, I'm thinking the gains won't be much different as I believe its more about diet anyways. Right now I do one of the big 3's every other d...

Ok, so I'm wanting some of your opinions on a 3 sets for 10 reps vs. 3 sets at 12, 8, 4 pyramid. We normally hear about a pyramid workout with 5 - 10 sets, but not 3 sets. I'm experimenting with a workout for muscle gain doing Big 3(Bench, Squat, Deadlift) with 6-10 sets while other exercises at 3 s...

so does the soft spongy feel mean they are going bad?

A couple of years ago I saw Dr. Dre at an awards showing looking like his usual overweight self slumped over in baggy clothes, then I didn't see him for like a year or two, and then out of no where this diesel truck came out for another awards show. question is "What is he taking?" I've be...

I have been taking some flaxseed and fish oil pills. When I first started taking the pills they seemed normal. Now, they feel rubbery in hands and I can squeeze them. I know I heard on the news a couple of years ago about how some fish oil pills can be giving an empty benefit if they are too old and...

No one else has any knowledge of this subject? wow!? Alright then, I'll be alright.

Boss Man, Usually any type of curl using the natural curl motion using a barbell or dumbbell. Reverse curls don't bother it much as the focus of intensity is in a different part of the forearm. I feel the pain when I bring the dumbbell or barbell up, then feel it more when I release the weight on wa...

Has anyone ever experienced pain in their forearms right along the bone where the flexors meet the bone on the bottom side of the forearm? They usually hurt when I hit a certain weight with the dumbbells. I was wondering that maybe I am being a little too ambitious with the weight cause this happene...

Thanks Boss Man and swanso for responding with your workouts. I'm just always trying to find new routines to try out and do. Keeps the body guessing.
And swanso, that T-nation website is a good site. I got a lot of good info. on that.

If anyone has any workout routines or websites of workout programs that they don't mind sharing with me, I would like that very much. I'm always curious to see what others are doing and how they are doing things to change routine around.

Sounds like a rotator cuff problem. Try doing exercises to rehabilate a rotator cuff for a couple of weeks. Also apply ice daily several times throughout the day(10min on, a few off and so on), take aspirin too. If all that doesn't help matters, then I would see a doctor. Would you mind giving me wh...

Getting in shape can be expensive if you make it that. All it takes is someone to get their lazy but off the couch, put some shoes on and take a run around the block, do some push ups, crunches, dips, handstands....all things that don't require money. (except for the shoes of course)

Anyone ever tried this weight gainer or any like it? If you had, could you give me feedback or recommend any to take (except Muscle Milk)-already know about that one.

Thanks

- do 2 exercises max with it per session and make them row, squat, deadlift, bench or pull up exercises not curls or anything like that - only 1 5 x 5 exercise per muscle/week - yeah do other exercises w/ tregular sets and reps like 3 x 10, 2 x 15 etc - you can try it for a trial but for an actual ...

I have been doing the 5x5 method. question is this. In doing this method I do every exercise with this method. Would you recommend only doing the bigger/heavier exercises with this method then dropping a couple of set on the other exercises? For example if doing chest, I do decline,flat, and incline...
