ohh ok. I was wondering how I was going to finish my 400 ON bcaa caps - but this will definitely make that go a lot faster



I noticed I'm running into another problem with this new work schedule:

Trying to eat every 2 hours and then also save cottage cheese thing directly before bed as I have read in your advice multiple times would make my eating schedule look like this:

BCAA: 6:30am
Meal 1 (PWO): 7:45am
Meal 2: 8:00am
Meal 3: 10am
Meal 4: noon
Meal 5: 2pm
Meal 6: 9pm (cottage cheese thing before bed)

so theres a huge gap between meal 5 and 6

Should i do every 3 hours instead or eat half of what's in my tupperware and eat it again 2 hours later so its like almost 10 meals (I can actually eat 10 meals a day if I need to as my new job is really great and I have my own office)?

I would also like to say thank you because your routines have been giving me more confidence indirectly as I am happier with my body and have noticed higher self-esteem and this played a major role in landing the job as I wasn't afraid of going in and showing them what i have to offer.

Hey Raynor, every now and again I puke after doing squats or deadlifts. Is this normal?

Quote (SKCRaynor @ Jun 2 2015 05:18pm)

Certainly can be! Arnold said that throwing up after training legs was normal for anyone training seriously. It really depends on you as a person and how hard you train, as well as your natural physiology. Is it good to do? Absolutely not. Is it normal? somewhat.

I would really try to AVOID it as much as possible, whether it's taking longer rest between sets, avoiding eating/drinking as much prior to lifting, etc.

when i'm not laying on my back, i tend to drool in my sleep. what can i do to stop it?

That mostly has to do with leaving your mouth open as you sleep, which can be a sign of sinus blockage, sleep apnea, or allergies. Do you have any of the above to your knowledge? If not, have you ever been tested for any?

Generally, using sinus strips (breathe right strips), in conjunction with an allergen free bedroom, should alleviate 90-95% of the problems.

not sure. i've had this problem a good 10 years or so and just got used to sleeping on my back. i'll try the strips.

the Alen A350 is no longer available on amazon. i bought this one because it had the highest ratings.

I've been dabbling with the strongman 5x5 for the last 2 months and was making steady strength gains until I injured my lower back. can't squat or dead lift anymore until my lower back recovers. in the meantime I've been focusing on strengthing obliques and lower abs and would like to know a solid ab section to add each time I train. since I can't do 2 of the big 3 for now, I want to try a hyper trophy routine. I've never done one before. willing to go to the gym 3-5 times per week, i did the 5x5 for 6 months and every other day for the last two, so it doesn't really matter for me I will find a way to fit it into my schedule. thanks!

as far as hyper trophy goes, From what I know it is primarily size with strength behind, as opposed to strongman 5x5 when you're training for strength. what will hyper trophy splits look like? frequency on muscle groups per week? and I want to include legs of course, just can't squat for a few weeks

On a side note, if you are avoiding squats and deadlifts, please replace squats with leg-press and deadlifts with either bent over rows or t-bar rows.
