All the way back on Page 7. Are you guys slacking!?

After 3 weeks on the diet I'm down 7 pounds, and that's even with getting loaded and eating wings every Monday night. I really need to start bulking soon, I'm just too damn determined to get my bf% under 10.

Only problem, my workouts are not as intense unless I have 2 carb-up days, but right now I'm trying to stick with just one.

i did a bit of damage to my wrist last week.

Got worse after yesterday, it doesnt hurt during weights, so i dont want to stop doing them. just hurts when a turn it.

so would strapping it help, or jsut give the weights a break(which i really dont want to do)?

strapping it would just give it a false sence of support if its hurting, that and i dont think strapping it would help as far as paid from turning it

Workout gods, I need your help...

I think my back and my arms are my best parts... and I always work biceps, triceps, shoulders, my whole back, etc. out real hard but I can't seem to get the muscle definition I want anywhere... you can see that I have muscle, but it just looks like a big sheet and not defined. I see girls at the gym that have really nice cut backs and shoulders and biceps/triceps... but usually they're about half my size (I'm 5'11, wide shoulders, that whole bit) and look like they have a lower body fat than me... am I not getting that cut because my body fat is too high and the fat hides the muscle? Should I lose some weight (fat) and keep doing weights while I lose fat to replace fat with muslce? Or am I not doing enough weights? Some part of my body is sore about once a week, and I do weights 3x a week. Should I be doing weights hard enough that I'm sore every time I do them? HELP kplzthx.

no matter what, you should be doing your training to the highest intensity you can go.
if you can't see the definition it's most likely bodyfat is too high so keep training harder and fix your diet up more

Probably a combination of BF% and underlying muscle definition. Just keep training like you have been and keep the diet in check and you'll get there eventually. Soreness is not an indicator of muscle growth, don't even pay attention to whether you're sore or not. I could blast my biceps for 3 hours straight and they still wouldn't be sore the next day - that doesn't mean they didn't get a good working.

ya but the day after that they d probably be sore


if your muscles are sore that means you did get a good workout.. if they arentyou arent working out intensely enough.. i believe this

you are tearing the muscle tissue in order for it to repair and heal larger.. youd expect your nerves to deliver some pain no?

yes, exactly. when you work out you are tearing down muscle. if your not sore your not working out hard enough or right, one of the two, end of story. ive been working out for over 6 years now and i still get so sore from working legs that i cant do much when i go out on the weekends, which is why i work them out at the starting of the week :

Got it from a source that is not online in one of my KINES classes, so I can't link you to it, but it has been found that DOMS (Delayed onset muscle soreness) is primarily linked to tendons and ligaments. Sure, some of it can be attributed to muscle fiber, but I personally do not judge the quality of my workout by how sore I am the following days. Factors other than intensity/quality contribute to soreness, not simply intensity alone.

Then again, that's just my opinion, so whatever works for you.

this seemed to have died a death a bit.

try resurect it.
