Hey brosef how much Vitamin D do you recommend taking per day? ( I remember that spending half an hour under the sun is good, but I don't spend that much outside and in Idaho it's usually winter like 9 months of the year :/)
I think you answered this in this tread, but I can't find it.



Hey there.


5,000 iu of vitamin D per day for a 150-225 lb man. Heavier than that, 7,500iu.

Lighter than 150 lbs, 4,000iu.


I recommend NOW! d-3 5,000 iu softgels

hey raynor, i was wondering if eating as much veggies as it would take to fill up that plate would be enough for 1 day? i already ate a ton from the plate already, thats why its not full.

you said 3/4 of a pound for one day, if i weighed 3/4 pound raw cruciferous veggies, its an unearthly amount, given how low dense cruciferous veggies are lol.

Yes, 3/4 of a pound is implying that you are also eating harder veggies like celery, broccoli, peppers, etc.

If you are sticking to cruciferous only, strive for as much as POSSIBLE. A large bowl of it, as pictured, would be alright.

Why do you not eat other veggies curiously?

If I eat a can of tuna a day, should I be worried/concerned about mercury?
Someone told me otherwise and I personally think it's not true, but it sparked my curiosity now.



This is a very hot topic right now.

There is a CHANCE...which is in unknown percentage...that your tuna may or may not affect your long term health.

I have seen the official FDA reports of mercury levels in tuna, and quite frankly, I'm shocked it's that high.

If the published levels are true, 1 can a day would be enough to cause long term negative health effects.

Personally, I have stayed away from eating fish as much as possible because of the amount of mercury present in most fish, and the inability to find a non-farmed fish that isn't prone to excessive levels of mercury.

Dont force yourself to eat any of that.

Stick to the following:

Lettuce, broccoli, carrots, green beans, green peppers, onions, cabbage, escarole, spinach, celery, etc.

Depending on whatever other fats you are getting and EFA's etc, I would recommend at least 2-3, possibly more.

Hip flexor exercises:

http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/HipsWt.html


As far as sprint speed and vertical jump...

Repetition works very well with that  - meaning, doing a sprint routine (6-8 50 yard sprints, 3x per week) as well as a jump routine (high jumps explosive with ankle weights 4-6 sets of 10 reps, 3x per week)

The more you train these exercises, the better you will get in them.


since i dont have ankle weights, is it ok to jump with a barbell on my back, like performing a squat? progressively up the weight week by week?

5x5s are an integral part of strength training, however....athletic training depends on your athletic goals...so I need you to be more specific.

Secondly, I would do HIIT 3x per week PWO. As far as plyos go, you can do this 2x per week on OFF days from strength training.

More or less...

LOW BF, dehydration 24 hrs prior to the comp, sugar rush 15-30 mins before going on stage, pre-comp pumping exercises (pushups, dips, curls, etc).

The DRY look is also something genetic. Some people are able to pull it off quite well because of a thinner layer of skin vs some with thicker skin looking more smooth no matter what.
