Would it be okay to train your 5x5 plan like this?

Sunday: Legs
Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Back
Wednesday: Shoulders
Thursday: Biceps/triceps

or is the leg day in between the others because you need to rest the upper body?

lol. It depends on a few factors.

What is your bodytype? Are you a hardgainer?
Do you take supplements?
What is your workout routine?


I am skinny, and have a very hard time gaining weight.
I drink milk with whey gainer after every workout
Chest/tri, back/bicep, legs/shoulders. About 6 different exercises for the big muscles (e.g. 6 chest exercises), whereas max half of them are isolation exercises . I Usually work out 4-5 days a week.

The macros for bulking are 40/40/20 right? I got troubles hitting that high amount of protein, my maximum seems to be 200g, but with 3k calories a day I should aim for 300g, but thats impossible for me.. Is 40/30/30 fine aswell?

I think it's too early too tell. That study was flawed from the start. Also the TYPE of omega 3's were not considered, so I'm assuming that a garbage omega 3 source would also be more likely to dampen the immune system vs high grade molecularly distilled omega 3.

However, by the same token, inflammation is sometimes an immune response. So if you are reducing that mechanism by which inflammation occurs, you also could potentially suppress the immune system.


Quite frankly, the study could go either way. I will wait for counter studies before I make any decisions. For now, I'm still maintaining my stance of EFA's, particularly omega 3, being fine for consumption.


Thank you for your thoughts. Can you aware me on how the study was flawed from the start aside from the fact that the 'type' of omega 3 were not considered?

It will be a slight bit harder to do the above, however, if you can do it without issue - there is no contraindication. Go for it!

Yes, 40/30/30 (carbs/protein/fat) would be fine as long as you are getting at least 1-1.5g protein per pound of bodyweight.

Because the two groups that they used were not properly controlled.

In order to do a proper study of this, you need to have two equal groups from equal sample demographics in equal numbers.

All subjects need to be tested for prostate cancer cells prior to the test, and all subjects need to have roughly the same lifestyle (ie: exercise vs no exercise, eating other things, taking other meds, etc.)

The easiest way to conduct the test is to find all males of the same age group who all do NOT have prostate cancer cells and all lead a lifestyle without proper diet or exercise.



1,000 subjects in each group for a total of 2,000 subjects - administer a placebo to 1,000 subjects and administer 2g of omega 3 from micro-distilled and pure sources each day to the other 1,000 subjects.

All subjects would have to be forbidden from taking fish oil on their own.


Monitor subjects for 20+ years and observe for prostate cancer cells in all members of the group

Record findings.

I heard that doing weighted ab exercise is better than doing regular ab workout (like ab ripper p90x) esp if you aren't under 10% body fat, is this true?

Could you give me some weighted ab workouts to do and also workouts that help get you the V line abs
