This one is pretty good, but there are dozens like it.

Yes there is a difference in brands. Some brands are unsubstantiated and thus make claims without being analyzed by independent laboratories. As a result, you may be buying a placebo instead of an actual supplement. I go with companies that have proven over the years to be legit.

NOW! is my favorite, but I also like Twinlab, Optimum Nutrition, and Solaray.


As for a good fish oil and EFA product, I like to look for a complete omega 3-6-9 with a good ratio. Find NOW! Super Omega 3-6-9 and if you MUST - then find a comparable supplement to that.


I don't understand your last question...are you asking me for a 10x10 GVT sample workout routine? Or just the type of split to be doing with it?


More or less how many lifts I should be doing per body part

I've read 1 lift per
I've read 2/3/4 etc

I advise 4 per, 1x per week.

ie:

4 sets of chest 10x10, 4 sets of back 10x10, and so forth...1x per week for a total of 4x days per week, followed by 2x days of rest, and then repeat day 1 on day 7.

Raynot I have a question about deadlifts.

I'd consider myself an intermediate deadlifter with good form, and DL about 3x a week. However I did something extremely retarded the past month, I got a bit lazy and only started DLing 1x a week. I dont usually do a warm-up set and I jump right into my 5rep max 5 sets. Well about 3 weeks ago I barely got through 3 sets. My lowerback, just above the buttox line has been hurting and I haven't been able to deadlift for 3, almost 4 weeks. I only feel pain when I touch my toes standing or deadlift motion.

Is this a serious back injury? Or a minor one that will go away with more times? Any remedies?

Most likely this will not require medical attention. However I would advise complete rest - avoid using the lower back, but keep it limber. That means stretch several times a day but not to the point that the pain is very bad. Also ice the area 3-4 times a day, 20 mins on 40 mins off.

Take ibuprofen as needed.

If after 1 week of this course you don't notice any change, see a doctor immediately. During the first week, however, I would advise seeing a chiropractor to put you on traction. This can greatly help.

Also hanging from a chinup bar (dead hang) would help you reduce the pain.

IF THE PAIN GETS WORSE DURING THESE SUGGESTIONS, STOP IMMEDIATELY!!

IF THE PAIN GETS WORSE ON ITS OWN, SEE A DOCTOR!!

Alright I would rather you PM me. But anyways I weigh anywhere from 124-127 depending on the day. I play football (WR) and wrestle and hopefully make the baseball team. Anyways I am not in weights class and have no way to get to a gym. So what I could do that could make me stronger? Mainly what I want is my my upper back my WHOLE torso. Abs and bigger arms. Also i would want big calfs pretty much just get cut? I guess idk im a freshman so I would rather have you pm me so we could talk more about it?

1 week every 3-4 months approximately. However listen to your body and take an extra day off as necessary here and there

Pre-lifting? no.

But as for actual lifting...assuming your goals are to bulk, refer to this guide for information:
