Hi Raynor,
I need to check something relating to that 5x5 program you posted just a while ago. Three quick questions:
1) Rests between sets should be how long?
2) 5x5 or 5x8-12 on dumbbell flies?
3) How many sets a day will be overdoing it? (you recommend at least 20, but will 30 be too many, etc.?)

Thanks for your time.

You need a spotter/partner to help you do negatives...that is the only effective way to break through a plateau. If you fail at 225 for 1 rep lets say....have a spotter load up 265 and force 2-3 reps out on it. Do many many forced reps...at least once a week for that muscle group....and eventually you will tear down the walls.

Well the reason I was asking was because, I did see a correlation once before between push-ups and breaking through my current bench max but that was a long time ago and I took a big break between then and now.

I also can only work out at the earliest about 12:00am-1:00am, so I don't have anyone who can spot me, so if you have any other suggestions that would be more effective at helping me break my bench plateau please share!

Thanks in advance.

Please don't hijack/abuse/waste this thread.

This is far from a fitness related question, however, I will answer this question on a one time basis being that I actually know quite a bit about the topic.

Glass is classified as a "Solid." but in scientific technicality is neither solid NOR a liquid.

Glass starts as a highly viscous liquid that is super-cooled to achieve a solid state...however it never genuinely becomes a solid, nor does it remain a liquid.

As a result, for practical purposes, glass in its blown and cooled staged is a SOLID for real world application, but can be scientifically classified as neither liquid or solid, but more of an amorphous solid or highly viscous supercooled liquid.

BUT DEN HOW ARE MUDKIPS BLU?

Hello SKCRaynor. Are there any workout routines i can do in order to achieve a decent sized mass and build up my muscle stamina?

If so what can i do to keep my body from plateauing after using it for so long.

thank you.

the flys would be 8-12 reps
how many sets a day that is overdoing it is uncertain. it depends on your body and how quickly you recover etc.
