Hey, Raynor,

I hope you had a good holiday season!

I just moved back to college today for my second semester of pharmacy school, and I was trying to look into what I should be doing for a workout now that I'm moving into a bulking routine again.
Throughout my bulking routine I'm hoping to work on strength for a while, then transition later to building power and agility.

I noticed that my back is comparatively weaker than the rest of my body, so it made me wonder whether I should adjust my workout accordingly or use your 5x5 plan as-is.

What I was thinking was something like:
Day 1-Back & Bi
Day 2-Chest
Day 3-Legs
Day 4-Back & Tri
Day 5-Shoulders

Anyways, I was just wondering, given my goals, whether you'd suggest I use your 5x5 plan or I should adjust the plan to focus on my back.
Also, I'm assuming the 5x5 is still the way I should formulate my workouts always on bulking--is that correct?

Thanks again, as always.
Enjoy your last year of medical school!

Hey Ray

Do you have any tips on not fapping for longer periods of time? My longest...7 days. I want to be able to go 2 months or so.

Actually, what do you think about not fapping for long periods of time, i.e somewhere in the neighbourhood of 2 months? What do you think of the alleged effects? I.e it makes you smarter, stronger, more agressive etc...are there any merit to such claims?

How many calories do I need per day to gain mass, I am currently 5'8 140 lbs.

It depends on your body type and activity level, however a good baseline to use for you would be starting around 3,000 calories a day with at least 40/40/20 macros.

how do you flex your lats? im trying to learn how to flex em and i haven't made any progress

Explaining it in words is much harder than demonstrating in this case. However, the easiest thing I can say is to SLOWLY recreate an exercise that uses lats, such as the lat pulldown and once you feel the lats engage, STOP. you will realize where the muscle memory lays and be able to isolate it from there. If you can't recreate it by just imitating the exercise, get on a lat pulldown machine, or the cable machine for straight arm pulldowns, etc., and perform the exercise. Once you feel the lats engage, stop! You need to be able to determine arm placement by when your lats engage mid-exercise.

Do you know anything about rock climbing? Im looking for some workouts that will make me stronger for climbing. So I guess arms back core

Rock climbing is MOSTLY legs, arms, and core. Back/chest/shoulders are secondary. I would also recommend you focus more on forearms, biceps, quads, calves, and complete abs.

However, the best way to get better at climbing is to make yourself stronger in general with normal workouts, and persistently climb with an added backpack-weight on a regular basis. The actual act of climbing with added weight will greatly improve your climbing strength.

Raynor....

Do you think there is a different ingredient in the optimum pro complex that could be causing my face to break out?

My diet is pretty clean besides the occasional ice cream.... I cannot figure out what is causing my face to break out so bad.
I eat plenty of vegetables and clean foods and drink so much water.
I always clense. moisturize good... nothing has changed.....

The past 2 months my face has been breaking out like bad... I haVENT HAD breakouts like this since high school.

THe ONLNy thing that is different is the protein.... I switched from ON 100% NATURAL WHEY to ON NATURAL PRO COMPLEX. for the past 2-3 months

that is it.

I have "experimented" in the past and MILK and CANDY does cause my face to break out.... as well as when i took kre alklyn ( i cycled it many times and everytime i was on it my face would break out)

WTF!?

I threw the rest of my pro complex away ( had a little) i have some 100% ON WHEY natural... but im going to stay away from the supps for a few weeks and see if i notice a difference...

I really think its the pro complex. ( I hope it is )

Anything is possible, as certain people are just much more sensitive to certain things. See how you respond to cancelling it out and go from there.

If it doesn't help, we'll start looking into everything individually.
