    Who would of been great BB

    Stallone has relatively narrow clavicles. Great physique, even now, but I doubt he could have been truly competetive. Tyson for sure. Brutal shoulders. Wahlberg has a great natural physique. Mickey Rourke is a meat axe. Check him out in the remake of Get Carter. Nathan Friend, plays for the...

    Critique my Split

    If the OP is primarily after hypertrophy and if those squat and dead numbers occur after pre-fatiguing with isolation exercises, I don't see a problem with the numbers. He's shitting all over beginner numbers and if those reps at that weight are adding size then good. Additionaly for a 4 day...

    switching to the dark side......

    Have you taken your meds too early today? I'm not completely sure, but I think you're on a powerlifting and bodybuilding site.

    Can you hyper-extend your back whilst squatting?

    Ideally you don't want to hyper-extend your back during squatting. That puts your pelvis into what's called an 'anterior tilt', and while that's better than a flexed (rounded) back, it's not the best position. What you're after is a neutral spine, which essentially means flat with a slight...

    Top end running/sprinting speed

    Adamklam where do you live? I have some experience coaching sprinters and sportspeople who sprint. If you're not close-by, video will do fine.

    switching to the dark side......

    You're always going to be brutally strong Michael. And you've got the genetics. And it will be easier on the joints. And as Freako said, no reason to stop with the big 3 altogether, just divert some focus.

    Neck harness, where?

    Have you tried wrestler's neck drills as a substitute? YouTube - Neck-strengthening Drills For Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Not the same thing but i've found them very effective in the past.

    I'd agree, but that begs the question, why post in a forum you have no interest in, to be deliberately obtuse? Fucks me.

    To the Bodybuilders out there

    Man that's the hugest question ever asked. As in there's no way I could give you an answer that meant anything. It would depend on your reps and sets performed, how well you do them, your recovery, etc etc etc, as well as YOU - everything works individually for different people. That said...

    Someone who performs weight training with the primary intention of stimulating muscular hypertrophy, and strength / performance as secondary and relatively unimportant goals.

    To the Bodybuilders out there

    Hey Mick I haven't seen that site before, i'll have to give it a look. I've always been fan of bodybuilding - my first gym was a hardcore bodybuilding gym run by an ex-Mr Australia - so i was raised on traditional bodybuilding splits. These days I very much enjoy making strength gains, but my...

    carb cycling questions

    If that's basically what you planning on doing then cool, good choice. A couple of things though: if you're training six days then you don't want raised carbs on those days. You want decreased carbs on your off day. Even then you just dont want the high GL carbs. The others have to stay. Also...

    carb cycling questions

    Upon reflection you could manipulate your carbs on a clean bulk if you were super keen. It would consist of this: - only eating low Glycemic Load carbs, except directly after training. - getting most carbs in at breakfast and pre / post training - no high GL carbs on non-training days - caloric...

    carb cycling questions

    I don't think there's any point in carb cycling on a bulk, even a slow one. Just eat healthy with lots of protein, and introduce a slight excess of calories (every day, training or not). Carb cycling is designed to trick your body into retaining muscle when you're in a caloric deficit, not the...

    Lowering Body fat %

    It ain't rocket science, and you won't find it easy if you only go with one method. Go with only diet, or only cardio and you'll have to be brutal to get results. Fix both moderately and you'll be happier. That means a cleaner or smaller diet and slightly more cardio than you're doing right...
