    Skinnylegs, I would do this: 1. Use this calculator to work out your required maintenance calories: Estimated Calorie Requirements 2. Download a calorie counter for iphone or your desktop and make a log your meals to see how much you are eating. 3. As already advised, start eating...

    Routine critique

    Are you saying that increasing weight = increasing volume? Ive always considered volume to be sets x reps and weight to be weight. I.e. you progress by either: Increasing weight (sets and reps dont change) or Increasing volume (weight stays the same, reps x sets increase) Im also...

    Routine critique

    Would like some advice re progression. Was thinking once reps get to 10 for 3 sets increase weight by 2.5kg and drop back to 8 reps. If no progress after 3 workouts reduce weight by 10% and work back up.

    You're talking about a split routine. This one's a full body routine, different school of thought, its a personal preference thing

    Routine critique

    No, I asked for a critique, not criticism. One is useful, the other not. I dont know, im seeing the ortho doc next month. Lots of pain during and after squats with good form - had form checked by PT last week and said it was fine. Used Mark Rippetoe book as a guide and watched vids from that...

    Educated advise needed

    If you were prescribed androgel previously your testosterone levels must have been very low. they are probably even lower now and it could explain your weight and appetite issues. You should get another blood test done before dabbling in peptides and what not.

    Routine critique

    Yes, my gym has leg press. I could give it a go tomorrow and see how my knees respond. I like the max-rep chinups on non-row days, will definitely add that. Primary goal is increased muscle mass, secondary is strength. Not interested in competing. Aiming to add 4-5kg of lean mass before the...

    Pain behind knee caps

    I'll give it a try, thanks. Also might try high rep bodyweight squats without locking out at the top to target the quads.

    Pain behind knee caps

    He reckons high-rep leg extensions - I thought that would focus more stress on the knee? Anyway, the pain is getting worse. Today I couldnt even do a warmup set of squats without feeling the sharp burn. I wont be seeing the ortho surgeon for another month but dont want to stop working the...

    Advice regarding steroids & injuries

    Cortisone doesnt heal injuries, it just reduces inflammation and pain. Ditch the cortisone and take a few weeks off to rest and recover.

    Pain behind knee caps

    it's been many years since I've squatted and I messed up my form a couple of weeks ago trying to get back into it. My knees came forward quite bit and I felt a sharp burning sensation behind the whole of the knee caps on both knees. Every day after that I had a bit of inflammation but it didn't...

    Transdermal Peptide Questions

    Yeah I only noticed later that the graph shows CJC1295 on its own so not a fair comparison really. Oni, I read the thread from the other forum you linked showing HGH levels blood tests after GHRP/GHRH use. Shame that Ipam is so weak compared to the others. If i was ever to go daily for...
