No....

diet and exercise is the only way to lose fat in the body.

I have pecs that seem larger than normal...but definitely aren't man boobs lol. check pics for an idea. I can't seem to shape them no matter how hard i try. I heard that genetics can cause some people to not be able to shape very well, is this true? or is there something i can do to make my pecs not so...umm...out there.

How important are fruits in breakfast?

All I eat for breakfast sometimes is just 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites. You think thats an ok breakfast?

Hey mate, hope your well.

Quick question ive got..
lately ive been struggling too breath deep breaths especialy after my main meal of the day.
i used too suffer from asthma and i havent for many years so not sure if that cud be part of the problem but thought id mention it.

i never realy train cardio/lungs as im trying just too bulk, should i start or anything you can recommend?

If I eat carbs after 6 pm will God smite me?

hey raynor, i was thinking of running a smolov jr routine for bench, but not sure how much weight im supposed to do.

Week 1 (SETSxREPSxWEIGHT)

Mon - 6x6x70%
Wed - 7x5x75%
Fri - 8x4x80%
Sat - 10x3x85%

Week 2

Mon - 6x6x70%+10-20 lbs (bigger increase for bigger lift like squats)
Wed - 7x5x75%+10-20 lbs
Fri - 8x4x80%+10-20 lbs
Sat - 10x3x85%+10-20 lbs

Week 3

Mon - 6x6x70%+15-25 lbs
Wed - 7x5x75%+15-25 lbs
Fri - 8x4x80%+15-25 lbs
Sat - 10x3x85%+15-25 lbs

is what the routine looks like, i get the sets/reps part but not sure how much im supposed to be doing weight wise. ive maxed out at 185 1 rep before so i assume the % is supposed to be out of that?
