I dont care much for biceps but maybe you should try doing heavy weighted back exercises (if you arent already doing so). Pull-ups, chin-ups, weighted chin-ups, barbell rows, dumbell rows, lat pull downs, seated rows, etc. Dont be like those dudes at the gym that do 10 variations of curls, they can all do so much for your bicepsOriginally Posted by bkmac

Not about you, just something that I noticed. It's not completely relevant, but I guess it might make sense to some. A bit over a year ago, before I discovered intermittent fasting and undereating during the day, I started to despise eating 6 times a day. All the snacks, worrying about protein, etc. I'd hate to prepare snacks or grab something during the day and eat. I was never satisfied and I never enjoyed the food because it was gone before I knew it. As soon as I found intermittent fasting, I loved eating again. I loved the flavors and the act of eating. I didn't mind eating the same things over and over again because I was just glad I was getting food. And because of the fasting, my taste buds were basically "reset" everyday. I'd enjoy everything I ate. Just an observation I had, and thought it might help others out. I guess you don't appreciate what you have until you don't have it. It worked for me with food. I guess it's partially why I hate the 5-6 snacks a day diet. 3 or 4 meals is the max I could handle, but even then, 2 or 3 large meals is all that I'd consistently maintain.Originally Posted by In Yo Nostril
its a supplement bro. i dont take anything other than protein and only a few times a week but it done for a reason. i dont like consuming meat with every meal so i use the protein as a supplement.

Depends what level you're on. If you're still working with linear progression(adding weight every workout or 2), then check out Starting Strength by Mark Rippetoe. Simple but effective. If you're passed that, check out the Russian Bear routine from Pavel Tsatsouline's book, "Power to the People."Originally Posted by SuperSaiyan415
what does a basic routine look like when youre bulking and want to do a 3 day split? im afraid of doing too few reps where hypertrophy wont even occur.
Good progress man, keep it up.Originally Posted by TheTrapezeSwinger
I was at about 175 in the first pic, and am at 151 now. I've been has high as 190. Making sure to have at LEAST 1 cup of plain steamed, non-starch vegetables (I usually have two) with every meal, and cutting down drinking (I try to drink only on weekends, and drinking for me sucks because I routinely have 10-13 drinks when I go out) have been my keys. My exercise has consisted of lifting 3-5 times a week and cardio 0-2 times a week. Also, walking everywhere is huge. Any chance you get, for those of you trying to cut down, walk. A lot of getting trimmed down is common sense and discipline. I'd like to lose about five more pounds and I'll be happy. Good luck y'all!
