is it possible to gain a real nice physique with a "drinking habit"? im 6'2, current 180.. heaviest ive been is 240 and that was a few years ago due to overeating and depression.
i drink a few beers (2-6) every night and weekends, eitehr fri or sat or both, i will consume 12+ beers a night. only days im not drinking is when im recuperating from a hangover or extremely tired
i work out 3-4 times a week and ive been noticing results, but im not sure if this is holding me back.

the pain in your shins are called shin splints...do some calf stretches and you'll be straight. a good calf stretch is pulling back on your foot with a towel.

^yea u need to cut back on the amount u drink.
Im not gonna tell u to stop drinking all together just limit it to about 2-3 days a week and lessen the amount of total beers

If so it is probably harder to increase it but if not, then you must be crazy athletically gifted. I need a 37" vert just to touch the rim because my standing reach is just under 7'
Keep working on the upper, I can only now consistently bench slightly above my bodyweight, which I find quite good progress. I could only bench like 130 before, for maybe a year. But I found a spotter, and drop setting would help as well.
In terms of vertical jump, when I was younger I was always riding my bike - everywhere to school, down the hill, up the hill everywhere. As far as I could remember I was never the tallest in my elementary school basketball team - But i'd always do the jump balls etc. Ive done a few programmes in my time. AA3, VJB, skys the limit etc.. I have a 5'11 reach which prob gives me a slight advantage.
Just keep at it son, squats, clean diet and practise the technique you use to jump, that can add like an extra 2-3 inches right off the bat.

Are you seriously looking for answer to that or are you waiting to hear what you want to hear? there's no way you haven't figured out what the answer to that question is.

"I do not do cardio..."
Pfft...+$%@*, +!#% youuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
And by the way you was leaning on those "shoulder" presses I'd say he worked out more of his upper pectoral muscles. Yes I'm mad.

New treadmills were put into my gym last week, equipped with flatscreen HDTVs with an iPod connect. I've been meaning to get cardio back into my workout, looks like I'm sold on the idea.

Lean dudes that dont do cardio also have unbelievably fast metabolisms. For most people some cardio is absolutely essential to reducing/maintaining body fat.

See the thing is, I have a very fast metabolism. I want to run and do cardio because I absolutely love running and want to build up my lungs and such and such. How would I go about doing this?

I did cardio for a month. Didn't need to, but wanted to. I messed up my legs. Never again. I agree with what joecam said. Putting in work in the gym is more than enough cardio for some people. I'm an ecto, so yeah.

Yeah I went back to the gym today, trying to get back to normal and my deadlift went up. I was doing 210 pretty easily, so once the rest catches up it'll be good.
And do you mean 6'11" reach? Cause 5'11" is abnormally low, unless you're talking wingspan. My arms are real short too so it's annoying. I stopped doing jump-specific training though, I'm trying to get my entire body stronger instead of just more jump-oriented, once I feel good about my strength then I'll start to jump again.

That's pretty expensive. Try bioforge if you're going that route. Much cheaper.

I'm very lean myself, but I'm looking to get cardio back into my weekly workouts because I want to increase my stamina and I want to work on my abs for a 6-pack Summer 2011. With a good diet comes abs, I'm aware, I just need to find the perfect diet to follow....

Can someone recommend a good full body mass building routine? I've been caught up in playing lots of pick up ball recently and would rather only lift like 3-4 days a week... I did this tonight..
DB Flat Press 4x
Squat 4x
Deadlift 4x
Wide grip pullups 4 x 8
Calf raises 4 x 185
What do y'all think about this routine? Thinkin of lifting every other day and having my next day be a variation of Squat/Incline Bench/BB Row and then some isolated lifts as well... Yay Or Nay??
Thanks NT
Edit: Throw military press in there as well
