Fitness	Does it sound like I'm lifting too heavy?	Mar 06 2012 13:50 (UTC)	2
I utilize a progressive superset style workout that is in 3 week rotations of the same weight. The first week I will do (sets x reps) 4x 8 then the next week 5x 8 then 6x 8 the third week; the following week when I return to the gym I up the weights I have been using and drop back to 4 sets. I usually perform 2 supersets then a few singular excercise for instance here was yesterdays workout. Superset 1 - Deadlift (4x8), DB Press (4x8-10) Superset 2 - Renegade Rows (4x16 (8 each arm)), Dips (4x8) One arm Snatches (3x10 each arm) Incline DB Press - 3x10 This is a new style I started about a week ago after reading some of Mike Geary's writtings including the truth about 6 pack abs. Prior to this I was working on a reverse pyramid style doing 5-8 excercises a day for 4 sets each and I would increase weight with each set while dropping reps so something like 12 reps, 10 reps, 8 reps, and 6 reps for my 4 sets.

Fitness	What's your Non Scale Victory ( Brag away )	Feb 20 2012 18:25 (UTC)	324
I added a 3rd plate to each side of the barbell on SL deadlifts yesterday! I have been stuck at 225lb to 275lb (225/12, 225/10, 275/8, 275/6) and havent been able to get to 315# as desired for the minimum of 6 reps on my fourth set. I was feeling good yesterday and actually pulled off 225 for 12 & 10 reps then 315 for 8 & 6!

Fitness	pre or post workout meal?	Feb 08 2012 13:44 (UTC)	1
Without getting into the huge issues with such a low cal diet as 1,200 is bare minimum for a very small, very sedentary person and you are setting yourself up for disaster here are two good reads the first on this subject and the second on pre and post workout nutrition (which depends largely on the type of workout and goals of course.) http://caloriecount.about.com/forums/weight-l oss/trust-worth#2 http://www.gain-weight-muscle-fast.com/post-w orkout-nutrition.html
Fitness	Protein	Feb 08 2012 13:35 (UTC)	2
FYI I am 6'7" - 230lbs so my BMR is 2,500-2,600 so the 3,000-3,500 cals consumed is to leave me with a little overage (including a 600-650cal 1 hour intense lifting session) the overage is what allows your body to build muscle. I couldnt resist so here are a few more good reads... http://www.gain-weight-muscle-fast.com/weight -gain-diet-plan.html http://www.gain-weight-muscle-fast.com/post-w orkout-nutrition.html http://www.gain-weight-muscle-fast.com/bodybu ilding-carbs.html

Armandounc's comment above is pretty accurate for protein G's in relation to body weight when lifting. You have the ability to change what the analysis page shows as your goals by going into account settings and clicking the nutrition link. The original set up when you set up your account is based on the reccomended daily values such as what is provided by the USDA. (50% carb, 20% protein, 30% fat) As part of my intense weight lifting program my goal is 3,000 to 3,500 cals and I try and vary my intake more around 50% Carb, 30% Protein, and 20% fat with fluctuations in fat up to 25% and carbs down to 45% on these days. I will do this for 8 weeks then reduce calories for a week and focus on cardio as a muscle rebuilding week to trim any fat gained during the higher calorie - muscle building weeks and allow my muscles to heal and be ready for a new program for another 8 weeks. Keeping your body guessing both by varying your diet and routines is very important as well. Below is a good site written by a body builder this is just one of numerous article on this site geared towards eating for weight lifting and mass gains. http://www.gain-weight-muscle-fast.com/diet-t o-gain-weight.html
