    Lat Strain- How to Work Around it

    A few weeks ago I thought I just tweaked my back. It was weird b/c the pain was on the left and in the middle of my back and fanned out diagonally. It went away with nsaids, so I figured it wasn’t serious. Last night coming out of the hole on one of my last squats I felt that pain again. I...

    Anyone Ever Use Peary Rader's Deadlift Protocol?

    I'm looking to change things up for a little while, but still build mass. I ran across Rader's 20 rep deadlift protocol. You load the bar with as much weight as you can pull max 10 reps and you do this for 20 sets. You do it 3x a week and you don't do any other lifts for about a month. Has...

    How to lift while cutting

    I’ve been bulking for a while with the past few months being a dirty bulk w/ no cardio. I made great gains, but now I’m super doughy and I don’t really feel good. I’m going to run a cutting cycle for a few months (my first ever). I have read a lot of information about how to cut, but I can’t...

    Cross Fit and Regular Gym Question

    I have a friend who is a big Cross Fit devotee. We went out the other night and I had to listen to her go on and on about her non existent biceps and then she laughs at me when we start talking actual bench, dl’s, and squat numbers. Granted the bench press is one of my weakest lifts, but I...

    Noob, but I've been lurking

    I've been lurking for a while, thought it was time to say hi to everyone. Actually, I feel like I know many of you b/c of the daily tweets. I'm a total noob, but I read and read...and read. Have spent months trying to dial in my diet- making some gains just don't think it should be this...
