Hey man im curious. Say i can only do 75 push ups before i can't move my arms... Do i do this 10 sets? 75 each set ? and is through out the day? or like 5 minutes rest in between? or is like like 2 sets breakfast 2 sets lunch 2 sets dinner 2 sets night Kinda ordeal? also on the week 1-4 Should i do 6,4,2,1,1 On The bench press and incline? sets wise?

Ok now for week 5-8 monday should i do the 6,4,2,1,1 sets for bench and incline? and thursday i don't know what you mean train for purely volume and not strenght?

Yes it is 75 for 10 sets then. You will do it throughout the day...probably one set per hour.

Yes that is correct in regard to your set/rep scheme for the bench/incline

edit:

volume training means to do MORE sets, less weight, more reps, and generally go until failure

Could you provide proof possibly?

No. I don't have time to do a google research job for you, sorry lol.

Just google it and you should be able to find quite a few scientific studies and articles on it.

If I had $50-$100 to go blow for nutrition supplements (to see if anything does much of anything), what would you recommend?

I already have a supply of beta-alanine, creatine, multivitamins, fish oil, whey protein isolate, and preworkouts.

I read your supplement recommendations for bulking and am trying to really figure out what really is worth the money. I realize I already have everything I need (good nutrition and the basic supplements), but if there's anything you'd recommend that I at least try once to see the effects of, let me know.

Thanks

Besides what you already have,

Glutamine, BCAA, Melatonin, ZMA, arginine+ornithine are the best selections

does this still apply to calf raises and running? all my life i heard we're supposed to stretch before/during/after to avoid injuries, and this comment really took me by surprise

It was actually a REALLY common school of thought for a long time. But recently (over the last 1-2 years) a lot of studies have shown that pre-workout stretches are not nearly as important as intra and post workout stretching. (Intra especially)

Part of the reason for this is because you are pulling the muscles and ligaments/tendons when your muscles are COLD - this is the major problem and can actually increase your risk of injury

It is a phytoestrogen as part of the soy isoflavones. Thus it has been shown that soy can increase your body's natural estrogen levels which is obviously undesirable for men.

what would a raise in estrogen do to men besides moobs ( not worried about them cuz im not overweight )

Only if it continues for a long time - how long has it been going on for? Has it got worse? Any other times that it hurts?

it started about 2 weeks ago
i was on the hammer strength pulldown machine getting ready to pull down when it first started
it hasnt gotten worse but its an unpleasant feeling
i dont feel it on any other exercises but only when im really focusing on pull back with my elbow i get it

any idea what this might be?

The plan looks good, just make sure to motivate him and ensure that he is getting proper nutrition

good luck!

THanks, will keep you updated!. I have a good feeling.

2 quick questions:

1. What is the reasoning for doing 20min prework and 20min postwork of cardio for the cutting routine.
2. For your strenght.5x5 routine...How would it be beneficial.....

for example..
Bench press

my 1rm= 255
255x75% = 190lbs.
190x5 would be my last set..
How will i get stronger when i can EASILY do 5sets of 5 @ 205lbs. ? if im doing 190x5 for my last set....

Decrease lean mass gains, increase fat gains, decrease sexual desire, increase risk of certain types of cancer (while reducing the risk of others).

You might have some misalignment issues, or even minor tendonitis.

I would advise seeing a chiropractor and also using the usual rest/ice methods as necessary.
