    I thought I'd post a basic fat loss program template I wrote for myself ages ago. I also put clients through variations of it every now and then and it works a treat. Doing it 1-2 times a week in conjunction with 1-2 strength sessions (I have a great whole body strength program as well) is a...

    That's an award ceremony I'd like to see. Body weight workouts can be very intense if you want to work hard enough. I recommend checking out Metafit workouts for good body weight routines. Anything from this channel. You have to work out the structure yourself unfortunately.

You don't want your body to be completely perpendicular to the ground on a chin/pull up...chins/pull ups with this form will definitely work your abs and it's better in...

    There's no reason to stop progressing. You need to achieve overload every time you lift weights. If you're worried about injuring yourself just add small amounts of weight and go by feel. Or you could increase your number of reps if strength isn't your main goal with these exercises.

    You must not understand the science behind nutrition very well. I just explained exactly what bulking is. Its exceeding your necessary carb intake in order to restore the body's glycogen so that your muscles aren't deprived of the protein that your brain, organs etc. may starting using as an...

    Bulking, just the most silly thing in the world. Don't ever purposely put on fat. It won't help you build muscle there's no science behind it you're just pointlessly back tracking in your progress. The only reason you want to increase your intake of carbohydrate while building muscle is because...

    People get injured doing deadlifts because they don't use good form and they attempt a low RM too quickly. Practice the movement with a higher rep range so that you can perfect your technique and allow your erector spinae to strengthen and support your spine. There's no reason for injury if your...

    Yeah when I began doing deads my erector spinae was so tight I could barely take the weights off the bar when I was finished. At the finish of a dead lift you're meant to lock your back by pushing the hips forward and squeezing your glutes and this tends to tighten your erector spinae especially...

    Actually the opposite is true. Strengthening your postural chain and core are vital in preventing injury and improving on most if not all exercises. You won't get injured deadlifting if you progressively ease into a heavier load (no one should ever do any exercise for the first time at a 5 RM...

    Why should anyone avoid deadlifts? Its probably one of the most functional and beneficial exercises you can do. Core and glute activation as well as strengthening your postural chain are really important for avoiding injury.

    Good way to build strength while losing fat is complexes. Still only 5RM but because you're performing a number of exercises continuously you're also getting your heart rate up.

    :lol: Is that guy for real? What an exceptionally odd looking human being. Don't buy into that sort of stuff. The general idea is to eat a balance of fat, carbs and protein from clean sources - lean protein, unrefined carbohydrates and good fats such as avocado. The main thing to avoid is...

    @Dule90 Dusan, the idea behind not eating carbohydrates in the evening isn't a matter of time itself but a matter of when you're going to spend the energy you're consuming. Its not recommended that you don't eat carbohydrates in the evening because when you sleep you're unable to burn of that...

    If anyone on here is actually considering steroid usage they should quench their mind of it. It gravely effects your long term health. The history of body builders who openly used steroids in the 70's and 80's are all having heart attacks in their 50's and/or need heart surgery. As for the...
