anyone have any resources to help prepare?
the few questions i've found online helped a bit but i had a chance to take a bit of it before i got locked out and it was damn tough.

cleans

started doing these about a month or 2 ago.
i'm doing 5/3/1 and do these after DLs.
I do 2 sets of 10 and then 3 sets of 10 DL after heavy sets.
trying to increase power which hopefully translates to higher deadlifts and i enjoy cleans as well.

Thanks

my buddy says we only need 2 minutes (only a few seconds really)for rest times to fully replenish our energy stores.

i've read 3 minutes minimum is best. which is better and any scientific sources for this?

his reasoning: "our body goes through these sources in the following order

  1. Avail. ATP stores

  2. once thts depleted: Avail Creatine stores

  3. Once thts depleted avail: glycogen stores

  4. Once thts depleted: Aerobic respiration

Glycogen is never even used in weight training

depletion of glycogen occurs in order to replace depleted phosphocreatine as well as low blood glucose. it literally takes seconds for ur body to reaccumalate any lost phosphocreatine.

I just find 2 min to

i've read behind the neck shoulder press is bad for your shoulders. is this true?

i've also read that rolling your shoulders while holding a weight is terrible for your rotator cuffs. is this also true?

thank you guys.

i remember reading a long time ago that working out stresses your heart the same way that cardio does.

if it is necessary,how much of it should be done to remain 'heart'-healthy. sorry, if it has been asked before. edit: let me state that my goals are just to keep heart health. aesthetics and heart health.

I wanted to try a 4 day approach, 2 muscle groups a day. 1st of all can I do this type of training split on CM?

something like:

  • 1st day: back, chest

  • shoulders,legs

  • bis, tris

  • traps,calves.

from my understanding w/ CM there is an off day and a CM day. if i'm working out everyday except for the weekends how do this work?

I feel I don't have the correct understanding of all this. I've been reading silverhydra's blog but i'm sluggish from not eating all day.

the diet itself. get up: don't eat all day. water,fish pills(?)

3-4:1 hour pre workout around eat some carbs/fat/protein.

EDIT i'm apparently selectively blind because there's no other way to explain how i missed t

The trainer, whom I have asked for advice before, came over and corrected me on my deadlift form. He told me to look up when I'm doing DLs..

its going to be pretty awkward from now on..

edit: so it seems its not at all like the squat, where you should look straight forward and in line w/ the spine.

hey fitness, I'm looking to gain size and strength and am mainly doing starting strength. I have to keep fat gains to a minimum hence the cheat mode.

3x5 dead lifts, squats and bench.

I'd like to add a bit of isolation work for biceps,tris, calves and I'm wondering if there's any downsides to this. Will it hold my back gains ?

also, currently i'm doing Cheat mode and I'm not sure if i've gotten the concept down.

essentially:

workout days: don't eat all day, eat only protein,fat,veggies pre workout and eat normal food the rest of the day.

The next day, eat normally.

On both days i'm averaging the same amount of food. This really doesn't seem like it would bring about any drastic ch
