Super hydrate yourself.

IE: approximately 1.5 gals of water prior to drinking over the course of the whole day, as well as plenty of fruits/veggies.

hi, im around 15-20% bodyfat (trying to bulk atm) but when i relax my stomach muscles i seem to have a much rounder stomach than i think i should have at 15-25% bodyfat, will this go away when i cut? or could it be from bloating from food? or maybe even weak stomach muscles?

hey raynor, i ordered PhD whey protein, do you know anything about it? good/bad? (plz dont tell me its bad, already paid for it ^_^)

shoulda asked before i bought it lawl

what are your thoughts on clubbell training instead of barbell training for non-athletes? for whatever reason, my bro is all gung-ho about it. he goes on about how the circular motion is superior to linear movement but he cant explain anything beyond that.

hi skcraynor, i was wondering what you thought about jumping rope as a cardio workout and if you had any tips for a noob like me? thanks!

Dips, wide or close grip? Which is better for chest and which for triceps? And how far down i actually need to go

There are many reasons for this.

1. Underestimated body fat %
2. Weak stomach muscles
3. Natural body type with increased fat in the stomach area (high fat % in the stomach, low fat % everywhere else)
4. Bloating from water retention


Without seeing a picture I would be unable to make a proper determination

I am completely unsure of the company itself and have no idea of the quality. However the ingredients are:

Ingredients -
PhD Nutrition protein-synthesis optimising blend (Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Isolate, Taurine, L-Glutamine, Leucine, iso-Leucine, Valine), Flavouring, Dietary fibre:-Xanthan gum, Carboxymethtyl cellulose, sweetener: Sucralose, Acesulfame K.


Sucralose and Acesulfame K are no good. I would avoid products with artificial sweeteners in them like these.

lol...clubbells are just a gimmick really.

There is nothing "better" about them than dumbbells. However, a different range of motion is achieved with clubbells - so technically they can be used in certain ways that dummbells cannot.

HOWEVER, dumbbells can be used in much better ways for building muscle overall than clubbells.
