google high bar squat low bar squat
200,000 results i guess im just trolling

[hal0g0dv2]

do w/e works for you, if u think high is easier then do that
pretty simple

[sonick]

I thought low bar squats are supposed to be easier for ATG since the angle of the torso makes it easier on the hamstrings than the high bar?

It's mainly a powerlifting technique to lift more but not necessarily work your muscles harder.

Is it southarm? The gym was way too small and the squat rack and the bench press was always in use when I wanted to go. 1 eliptical too so gg. Paying 30 a month at golds now, not looking back.

muscle recovery...does any type of glutamine work? any recommendations?

liquid form chewable pills? someone who knows what they talking bout please recommend me something... i'm in pain after vigorous workout at times

[DC5-S]

you shouldn't be in any kind of pain.. but muscle soreness the next day is common.. but pain after workout is not.. maybe see a sports doctor or something

[gdoh]

i have been doing close grip incline on the smith machine with a 2second pause on the bottom and squeeze all the way up seems to be working really well

I've been doing JM press for the last couple tri workouts and man they take some getting used to. Definitely hits them pretty good though.

Time to bulk back up again in time for rugby.

I was at 205 last Jan(with a little extra baggage). Toned down to 185 in the summer since I was doing a lot of water polo.

And since May, I've been cutting and now I'm down to 170-175. Aiming to hit 185-190 by October. Any good tips?

EDIT: 6ft tall. 20 years old.
I work out 3 times a week. Monday = chest(heavy weights/less reps) and back. Tuesdays = legs and shoulders(heavy weights, less reps). Thursdays = back, chest(low weight, many reps) and shoulders (low weight/many reps)
I always take fridays off.
I also do sprints twice a week and this includes my sports specific training. they alternate every week in terms days.

Nutrition wise: i generally eat healthy but not enough. I do help myself to fast food every other day...
I take casein protein nightly and whey protein after my workout every friday.

[hal0g0dv2]

1) protein drink (olive oil 600/milk 210/water 0/powder 260/flaxseed 50+ oatmeal 200+ banana 102=1420cals

2) post workout drink=3 cups cranberry juice 390, four scoops protein powder 520, 2 baked potatoes 284=1194cals

3) chicken rice casserole-cup of rice 190 chicken 581, sauce 150 , two cups milk 280=1201 cals

4) T bone steak 1419, water with lemon (trace), mashed potatoes (400)=1819cals

5) protein drink with olive oil 600/powder 260/milk 210/ water 0 and protein bar 290 = 1360

6) two cups 2% milk 280 and 2 cups cottage cheese 440=720

Total calories: 7714

[hal0g0dv2]

A sample day for me is (with protein grams after each item) – Bulk Diet:

Breakfast: oatmeal(5) with soy grits and ground flaxseeds on top (23) a little bit of milk(2) in the oatmeal and a protein drink (55)=85grams

After-workout snack: two potatoes(7) and a double serving protein drink in cranberry grape juice (110) =117grams

Lunch: (quick one because of my work)-can of ravioli (11) and protein drink(65) (cup of water cup of milk in there) =76grams

Snack: two 99cent cheese burgers (54) and 2 cups of milk (20)=74 grams

Dinner: 1lb of hamburger (100) cooked drained and then washed off with water thoroughly (to remove as much fat as possible)with condiments and noodles (4) =104grams

I keep reasonably lean by taking in zero to trace amounts of carbs (found in vegetables) after 6-7pm

Night-time meal: six egg white omelet with peppers or peas(20) or roast beef cold cuts with half water half milk protein drink (65) =85 grams

That's 541 protein grams on average and with me usually eating larger portions than measured I probably venture toward 600 grams a lot. If you look at the food I eat its pretty cheap, specially the way I buy it in bulk.

[hal0g0dv2]
