If doing a program like DC Training while on a cut, should I continue cardio post weight training? Or only on off days?

To be honest, this is unproven and quite possibly harmful in the long term.

I wouldn't recommend Alkalizing your body with supplements or products or gimicks. The best idea for a healthy overall body is to stick to a good clean diet, good exercise routine, and certain longevity and health related supplements.

I truly would NOT advise that you mess around with "alkalizing" your body...some serious side effects can occur with the wrong types of supplements for this and I would have to steer you in the wrong direction.

Not every month...more like every 3-4 months. If you mix it up TOO much you will actually see a lack of strength gain.

I recommend sticking to the 5x5 for AT LEAST 4 months before alternating. Once you start to plateau is when its best to start a new plan

Hey there.

Cocoa and Shea Butter are the only products I know that gradually help smooth out stretch marks. In some cases it helps, in other cases it's useless. But if you are desperate, you can give it a shot. Also, mild tanning can also help disguise stretchmarks.

Hey there.

Optimum Nutrition or NOW! 100% casein protein is a viable solution that works just as well as cottage cheese

stick to the arginine pre-workout for pumps.

caffeine only take in the morning on an empty stomach to encourage fat burning.

as far as creatine, post workout with grape juice is optimal.

Yes. Still continue cardio afterwards....but make sure to take plenty of BCAA's to avoid muscle wasting.

Great.

And I did bics/tris on friday. It was my first day back at the gym. I did pyramidding on the routines you wanted me to do (skull crushers, DB curls, etc) until failure. Saturday was fine. But Sunday and even today I'm in some serious pain. my bics and tris ache, but my left (weaker of the two arms) bicep (near my elbow) is very painful. It is tense, almost like I am flexing it. And I can't really straighten it without extreme pain, although I try to because I feel like it is stretching the muscle which may be good.

Today I am supposed to do chest and abs. Should I not be going so hard (until failure) just yet, since it's my first week back, or is this pain natural?

Also, is there a possibility I may have torn something, or would it be much more painful?

yea thanks, iv been tryin cocoa butter for a while cant c too much difference but ill jst keep it up b/c i guess it cld b worse

i have another question
can a certain excercise increase stretch marks?
b/c i hav them on my outer pec/inner armpit, would db flys actualy make them worse from stretching my arms out with weight?

The pain is normal for starting this kind of routine. It's working well and you just need to take more glutamine and STRETCH the muscles out considerably. You need to be stretching 5-6 times a day. Don't over-stretch, so do it lightly enough that it doesn't cause pain, but get the muscles untensed.
