The trainer I hired when I got back into the gym put me on a superset routine that worked similar groups (same muscles). Goning from memory it was like this: Chest/Tri/Shoulders: Bench Press/Side Raises Incline Bench Press/Front Raises Arnold presses/Tricept Pulldowns Overhead Tricept Extentions to ...

My w/o partner is out of the gym for the immediate future due to a shoulder injury. It wasn't a rotator cuff like they initially thought, its an aggrivated tendon something or another. Basically, he over worked the muscles that pull the shoulders down and back, without keeping up the muscles that pu...

Just some thoughts... Doing the legs only on the sled doesn't activate your stabalizers as much and the position your in is somewhat un-natural. Why not try some free-weight leg exercises, like squats, deadlifts, lunges, etc. I would think these exercises would give you the benefit of stronger knee ...

That's 1 work set. I think the general advise is if your only going to do 1-2 work sets you should also do at least 1 warmup set to get the blood localized. I think this site might be a bit outdated in this reguard as well. I use these guidlines for determining set/rep formats.

Hows the best way to cook them, time/egg, etc? Best method for cooking whole eggs is either soft boiled or sunny side up. You want your egg whites cooked and your yolks close to raw. Why? 1. MYTH Eating egg yolks will raise your cholesterol. The current data suggests its not the cholesterol you int...

I do both the same day, during the same time frame as well. I do my weight training, then rest about 10-15 minutes and do a HIIT session. I train 3 days a week and try to be active on the off days. If your going to do them in seperate sessions I don't see any problem doing the HIIT first (in the mor...

Reguarding Bench Press and Lat Pulldown, I was under the impression that bench press and rows were opposing. And Shulder Press and Pulldowns were opposing. I realize this is a bit symantic but the idea is that when you do the opposing motion you enhance the recovery of the opposing muscles. the way ...

Some tips: Limit your starchy carbs to breakfast (if necessary) and within 3 hours of intense workouts. The rest of the time get your carbs from fruits and veggies. Keep a food log so you can determine exactly what's going in. Review your log and make adjustments every 2 weeks. As your body comp cha...

I disagree with the previous poster. The key to changing your Body Comp is to burn fat and spare (keep or build) muscle. Weight Training has been shown to burn more energy (calories) than just mid-intensity cardio because it continues to burn calories for hours after the fact. Weight training and mi...

Ok, I think I'm on the same page, though I'm ever sceptical (its my nature). So wahta bout products like Carb Countdown. Where they remove the sugars from milk. In the same 1 cup serving youhave like 4 carbs (3 sugar) as opposed to the full double digits of 2% Milk? Also, are you saying not to take ...

Well, the "question" part of the post seems to contradict the "comment" part of the post. Please point this out to me, if I condradicted myself I'm unaware and would like to be aware. Milk vs cottage cheese, or 11g vs 4g? I think that is obvious. If you have space in your caloric needs, even concid...
