Sadly nothing going on. I had knee sugery and I'm starting rehab for it. You still down in Florida?


Hope you're doing better and making a full recovery. Correct, Miami to be exact!

Hey Raynor,

You're right! My measurements say I've lost about 1.5% bf this last month.


Excellent! Keep up the great work!

This is fairly normal and can usually be corrected with adjusting your grip (either make it wider, closer, or tuck your elbows in to use more lats). Shoulders can take the brunt of a bench press, even with correction to form, sometimes resulting in serious injury as you get stronger. The main way to prevent this is with solid shoulder strengthening exercises (think shoulders day to the same intensity as chest day), with focus on rotator cuffs and front delts. Furthermore, omega 3's, joint support supps, large water intake, and light stretching will all help.


thanks - will do!

in regards to light stretching, i suddenly remembered the reach test (touch hands/fingers behind your back) from high school where we were graded on - I was never good at this test. I tried it today and it's, not exaggerating, more than 2 feet apart. See for yourself. I check google real quick and apparently not being within 2 inches is considered "poor" flexibility according to the first article that came up. Should I bother training this to touch my hands or does it not matter for anything.

Quite frankly, this is a poor test for anything other than anecdotal flexibility testing. These "tests" are developed for non-muscular, average individuals. I assure you, that anyone with an above average muscle mass would have great difficulty in achieving this flexibility exercise (with the exception of perhaps those who do regular yoga sessions).

Hi Raynor it's been a while.

I want to know your thoughts on pre workouts with DMAA, pros/cons, if you've had personal experiences with them, as well as any scientific articles/studies about the consumption of DMAA.

Hi Raynor,

What are your thoughts on unregulated sympathomimetic drugs being put in pre-workouts?

Hi Raynor,

What are your thoughts on:
- Glutamine, BCAA's, and citrulline during fasted training, and/or during a cut at ~500 calorie deficit per day with lifting & cardio
- Utilizing BCAA's intraworkout 3 hours after eating, into a 1-1.5 hour lifting session during a bulk
- Casein 1-2 hours per bed mixed with whey (I'm looking at use of different types of protein, focusing on digestion and absorption rates)

Thanks!

Hello -

Why are you answering questions in my thread?

If you are new to this thread, please understand that all questions are directed towards me and are to be answered only by me.

This prevents people from sending misinformation, helps avoid confusion, and also keeps things working at optimum efficiency.

Do not hijack this thread.

Please don't let me see this again.


edit:

I also wanted to show you that the information you gave was only about 1/3 accurate and helpful - First off "any multivitamin for strength training" is one of the most broad and unhelpful things I have ever heard. There are hundreds of vitamins marketed towards strength-training - but NO multivitamin has only strength training in mind. 99.9% of multivitamins are frauds to begin with - so finding a good, digestible, and complete blend is very difficult to find. I have spent years refining my vitamin search down to 3 optimal candidates - NOW! Adam (good for any males), CL Orange Triad (best for powerlifters and people who require joint support and increased dosages of vitamins), and Twinlab One-a-Day Multi (mostly for middle aged to elderly). Also you state "fish oil" and leave it there...not answering the question at hand but instead when he asks what fish oil to take you reply with "fish oil". Fish Oil is not something to mess around with by checking various brands - know the products in advance and go with something pure and of good quality - NOW! Omega Super 3-6-9 is by far the best blend of EFA's. Also, simply telling someone to curb their cravings by finding something else to eat is absolutely useless.

If you feel that you are MORE qualified than me to handle this thread on JSP please post your own thread and lets see if it gets stickied or not. Also please post your qualifications, certifications, pics, and physical/educational training if you truly do believe you are more qualified than me.


I understand some of you may now know exactly how this thread works as this is the SECOND instance of this in 2 days. I would really appreciate you guys using good manners and keeping the thread clean and free of spam, bad advice, and anyone else giving advice except for me. Thank you for understanding.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this was pure gold

on a related note. Can i take the 5x5 program ive been using and use the 12 10 8 6 rep scheme? you once advised me to avoid hypertrophy style workouts when i was beginning break dancing to prevent injury and i am trying to get back into it now that one of my CPA exams are done..

I still want to increase strength/size slowly or at the very least maintain. willing to just not break dance all together if you think itll set me back.

another note: break dancing requires great flexibilty so thats why i asked about the shoulder "test". do you think yoga before I do the modified 5x5 work out would be beneficial for the purpose of being a better break dancer.

Thanks again

In addition to my few questions, I'm wondering:

- Does protein synthesis occur due to spikes in amino acids in the blood?
- And, if that's true, does supplementing BCAA's intraworkout reduce the effectiveness of protein synthesis from whey post-workout?

Correct, however with more exercise you can move up to the 2.5k one


what is considered more exercise?

I have been doing cardio about 4x per week. Lifting 5x per week.
Been doing 2k workout days and 1500 non workout days and I feel like I've lost strength.

Been doing this for about 2 weeks now and am down about 3 lbs.

Started week 3 today.

Should I go up to 2.5k/2k?
