how can you guarantee it's not all muscle it's possible.
i gained 15lbs in 3 and a half months, all muscle, i know this cos i got a body fat test at the begininning 12.5% and one at the end 12% |

It isn't as bad as i made out.
I just eat A LOT, and that includes some junk food occasionly (chocolate bars etc), but mostly i eat sandwiches, meat, lots of salad, bread etc.
And i exercise 6 days a week, so how can you "guarantee" that its not muscle? |

because i know how the body works. even if its half muscle...that would be good results. if you are eating that much that chances are you also put on fat...i didn't say that was a bad thing, but its not 100%... |

well its not that so much. you can definitely do that much stuff if you're really on with diet and have the time to dedicate towards it. the part i don't like is that Radagast doesn't seem to have any ideas of his own. the best part about lifting weights is taking knowledge and applying it to your situation... |
So it's straight out of it:rolleyes: . I'm going to take it and modify it to my own preferences when i'm able to work out again. I'm assuming other people are smart enough to do this also if they want to use it. People should know that any program I or anyone here puts up isn't for everyone, whether it's from a book written by a professional bodybuilder or something some guy on the internet with 15 inch biceps came up with. Each of their workouts will work for themselves. Each of their workouts will not work for everyone. And i'm willing to bet that at least the professional bodybuilders workout who has made a living doing it for over 10 years (claiming no less than 8 Mr. Olympia titles) and with four times as much experience with non-competition exercise would be at least a little more helpful than something else.
I thought I got most of this through in the note at the end, which was written entirely by me.
EDIT: Changes i'm going to make right off the bat just by looking at the program: Adding posterior delt excersise, changing the back program a little, adding a heavy day now and again, adding cardio where I feel comfortable, probably a lot more little things once I get a chance to think about it more and try it out. |

i have a simple question.
i can't afford gym etc at the moment so i brought some push up bars/stands and use them with my feet raised of the ground. i've worked out that if i use them really far apart so my hands are really far apart, it's quite good for my pecs and i've worked out if u have them really close it focuses more on my biceps/arms
Normally, i use the bars so they are in line with my shoulders, what difference would it make if I use them so my hands are higher above my shoulders and also if i was to use them lower down so my hands are closer to my stomach.
Any suggestions? Will it work slightly different areas?
Many thanks |

True. But as soon as I started working out I thought that was bull. Evertime I worked out, my main goal was to get my muscle group EXTREMELY pumped, and of course, work it to absolout failure *I can't emphasise those two points enough.* It's something you just feel I guess. Whenever I worked with heavy weights and low repititions, I wasn't getting that *pumped* feeling, and injured my forearms/tendons with routines incorporating tremendous weights//low reps ie.
A 55kg barbell bicep curl with: 3 reps/4 sets.
OR
105kg benchpress with 3 reps/4 sets.
I built muscle much quicker with a quick high rep workout(to get the muscle group tired) IE. for one bicep: 30-40 reps @ 10kg taken VERY SLOWLY so you can feel your muscle being pumped, and then just repeat it with the same weight. As you do more sets your reps will come down because your muscles get ing SORE.
Anyway, my stats are 6"0, 200pounds. |
