Raynor,

Would doing this every day impede my lifting progress? The video below is a rotator-cuff recovery exercise (two of them).

I am guilty of not incorporating enough shoulder-recovery exercises into my routine, and I think I should be modifying my routine around that a little bit.

I had a question. How good are these weight gainers? I've been training since a few months, not quite seeing the result I want. Im a very skinny guy and I can hardly put weight. I try to eat alot( ~5k calorie a day) but its pretty hard since I do long shift at job/school etc..

And is creatine gonna improve strenght too? I have only been taking protein, my bench sure improved but my numbers are still too bad to be posted in public.. I have a good routine/diet, just looking for something to boost my results.. Thanks alot


Try Cytosport Cytogainer...it's excellent.

Also use SciFit Kre Alkalyn 1500 for creatine.

I recommend 30 minutes of flexing a day 5 days a week for optimal mind-muscle connection and good pump. Use the mirror and focus on bodybuilding poses. You can google these, but some are called "Most muscular" "Front Double Bicep" "Rear Lat Spread" and so forth to get you started.

I would do that 2-3 times a week, not every day. It will help your shoulder quite a bit.

take BCAA pre workout, every 45 mins during workout, and immediately post workout. You can also take it first thing in the morning and right before bed. I would recommend around 2-3 g every 45 mins during training, and 5g pre/post workout as well as 5g pre-bedtime and approx 10g upon waking. These are IDEAL numbers, but not required.


Okay, sounds good.
And what about the L-Arginine & L-Ornithine?

i've been using German American Jet fuel recently, for some fat burning supplements but it seems that GNC won't be holding these anymore. is it still worth using them?? and finding them online or is there a new supplement out there that would help just as much if not more?? also it's not like im solely depending on these, i have a pretty strict diet and do a good amount of cardio mixed with some strength workouts.

not trying to get bigger, just get more lean

As far as when...you pick the time. I recommend about an hour or two before bed, or whenever you can fit it into your schedule.

You can perform each pose as necessary - don't overthink this. Just focus on each pose until you get them down properly.

To research the poses...just google "bodybuilding posing guide"
