Hey Rip, have you ever seen or heard of someone gaining so much muscle, so fast that it outpaces their ability to gain strength? What the coach seems to be saying here is this poor girl will be...

It's the same shit, isn't it? A fat guy does the program, half reads the book, article, and forum, and cobbles together a little half-assed diet plan that involves the milk. Fat guy gets fatter and...

What the fuck is this?

C: Go out and get laid, be social, read a fucking book, and be intelligent with the stressors you introduce into your life/ training.

N-n-n-n-n-n-not doing the program.

Why would do another day if you're having problems increasing the weight?

Oh my God, these fucking pick-up games.

1. If your abs are weak, what will high rep work do for them other than practicing form? (which will be pointless if you can't keep tight under a heavier weight)
2. If your abs are weak and causing...

Rip, why do people write such things? There are such a wide number of variables in one's life style that influence bone density and fractures that pin pointing to animal protein just seems silly.

1. How often are you sick and how to you treating yourself during and after?
2. How much do you lose off your lifts?
3. What are you doing to strengthen your immune system? (sleep, vitamins, stress)

The squat seems to be giving you trouble. When I have trouble, I like to read a chapter or two from SS3 each week. Another thing to look at is if you're overtrained. It's pretty common thing at the...

Maybe once a week, but you should start establishing good dietary habits at this stage of your training. Cooking good food like eggs, oatmeal, steak, etc is a good place to start, so that once you...

You're not doing the program.

God speed with whatever you're doing, but it's just so strange to try to do this weird middle ground approach where you won't get far in either direction. I feel that...

Are you saying that you are 15% body fat at 280?

I have issues with loose skin. I was really fat as a kid growing up, and so this skin has been there all my life. I've been experimenting with...

Interesting read, SMC. This whole thing gets tiresome. Kiefer's article suggest that different macros affect the TEF (you know, how much you many cals you burn in a day) differently.



This...

You sure live up to your user name.

My mother was a drug addict and alcoholic. My grandmother is morbidly obese. My uncle couldn't deal with any type of dietary restriction, hoping he could "work off anything he ate." The bar was very...

What type of grownups? A good portion of adults eat like shit.

What a shitty article. I like the lack of data or how it exaggerates metabolic showdown, like you'll go from needing 2500 to 1000 in the course of a few weeks or if you consume a few high GI items....

Listen, Will, you can't call it a three-way just because she weighs as much as two women.

Personally, the skinny thing seems strange to me if you're training or dieting so other people (i.e the opposite sex) will you more attractive. It's like you're training for other people's approval....
