hey again,

dont know if you remember me from my past question, but im fairly new to the gym
anyways im wondering how long it should take to start increasing weight. i thought you should increase the weight when you achieve 8 reps easily. i did this but then for the workouts later on i was dead and couldnt do as nearly as much as i did before

thanks again



Let your body be the guide. The weight should be heavy enough that when you do 8-12 reps, they are all moderately heavy so that by the last 1-2 reps you feel as if you are going to fail.

Hey.  I've seen you recommend  cytogainer. Many times....  Is it truly worth it?

44$ per 6lb tub
4scoops per serving @ 18 scoops per 6lb tub
Being about 2.50$ per serving..  So that's not bad. I mean.  Could buy a protein bar for 2-3bks
I like the low fat /sugar  and complex carbs in the serving....I've compared cytogainer to many others. And I like the ratio of ingredients in cytogainer

I workout within 25min upon waking up then have school then work full time. And lately it's been killing me in the morning I neve have the energy throughout my workout
Do u think it would be beneficial to use cytogainer right when I wake up before I workout. And. Right after I workout before class??


Do u think the extra calories and carbs/pro would benefit my workout using cytogainer?

It's so hard to eat before I workout. I normally just have a scoop. Whey/banana and some bcaas with kre alk pre workout

Lately I've been maintaining. But I wouldn't mind to gain some weght( I switched I'm doing your hyperteophy routine now)


:hail:



Cytogainer would be an excellent addition for you. That is the ONLY gainer that I use. Prior to that I used Russian Bear by Vitol. Quite frankly, the cytogainer is an outstanding product. It has a few things in it that I am not too fond of, but in consideration of the other products out there...it's superior for what it's intended for.

Having 1 cytogainer shake a day, mixed with 2% milk and some fresh fruit in a blender is unbelievably good. Huge calories, tastes great, good overall nutrition.

I would probably start with 1 shake a day and see where that gets you. 2 might start adding TOO MUCH to your diet and thus having a surplus to the extent of fat gain becoming imminent.

Thanks so much for the plan you wrote up for me. I have a few quick questions though

Regarding the first link you list some of the exercises to be done, does that mean do ALL of them or to just use those as examples of exercises to follow?

Regarding the diet, is it alright to eat even less than the recommended 2k calories or should I stick to approx that amount?



Yes, do all of them.


Also for diet, I would stick to the recommended calories. At the lowest 1,800....at the highest 2,100.

Hey I'm just curious on your thoughts of this meal plan which I have been eating.(It varies slightly from day to day)

Morning -  Large bowl of optimum omega 3 cereal with almond milk, two slices of ham, orange juice

Snack before work - Salad with a can of tuna and olive oil dressing

at work - chicken wrap with lots of veggies and lots of water, I am constantly drinking water at work

afterwork I had couple of oranges and then some lemon chicken and a omega 3 blueberry granola bar right before bed.




Looks pretty good. Enjoy!

Hi Raynor,

I have a quick question that i'm hoping you might know about.

My girlfriend took the emergency contreceptiv, Plan B, after unprotected sex.  We ended up doing it again like 4 hours afterwards >.<.  Lubrication was used (slows down sperm), and I pulled out during both times of intercourse.

Would Plan B still be in effect?  and how are the chances of pregnancy?




You do not need to take Plan-B everytime after unprotected sex. The only time Plan-B is needed is if you ejaculate in the vaginal canal. If you withdraw BEFORE (and I mean definitely BEFORE) ejaculation, there is a 0% chance of pregnancy. HOWEVER, there are a few things to note:


1. If you ejaculate, urinate as soon as possible. Consume a good amount of water and urinate a second time. After doing so, you rid your urethra of sperm after the first ejaculation. At this point, you have a 0% chance to impregnate without ejaculation in the vaginal canal.
2. DO NOT HAVE SEX IF YOU JUST EJACULATED AND HAVE NOT URINATED AT LEAST TWO TIMES AFTERWARDS.
3. If you think you MAY have ejaculated even somewhat inside the vaginal canal, yes PLAN B would be a good idea. It is effective for upwards of ONE WEEK after taking it. So anything that happens in that period would most likely (99% or better) be impossible to cause pregnancy.
4. Make sure the woman also urinates at least once or twice after sex to minimize the risk further.

In essence, it is impossible to impregnate with "pre-ejaculate" fluid. There is NO SPERM in this liquid. However there is sperm in the urethra after ejaculation. Thus why sex a second time can cause pregnancy even with using withdrawal. The goal is to cleanse the urethra of sperm by urinating at least two times after each ejaculation.

Hey Raynor,

Do you know any streching for before/after running to prevent shin splints?

Thank you!



Stretching can not prevent shin splints. This is a common misconception. What you need to do is just run more, get better shoes (Special running shoes), and also wear compression sleeves for your shins as needed.

Raynor,

I'm 18, 6'2 175-180, definitely an ectomorph, how many reps should I try to hit in each set to build mass? I've been hitting 6-8 reps (until failure ofc), thanks!


For pure mass building you want something like this:

There is no specific set/rep scheme. It's about your entire workout.

All my multivitamins recommend me to take one daily. Is this appropriate? Weighing around 185-190 and trying to cut


No.

You want to try one of these:


NOW! Adam (2 pills a day)

or CL Orange Triad (6 pills a day)
