Which multivitamin do you guys recommend I get? I used to get Mega Men Sport from GNC. Anything better?

Bench work tonight, pretty simple, flat/CG/Incline some pushdowns and face pulls. Starting this training cycle with some higher reps here for a few weeks then slowly going back to the "heavier" weights.

Oh yeah, amazing what changing your diet does to you. Been eating clean for a fee months now. Tried fast food the other day. Vomited it all out ten minutes later.

How often do you guys train each muscle group per week?
I know there are different philosophies on this. For about a year I've been training back and chest 2x/week, but I'd been getting an influx of tightness in certain areas (pec minor for instance). I don't know if this can be attributed to "over training," but I might go back to 1x/week for everything except legs.

Hmmm haven't really thought about a beltless cycle, I know the big dog DG implements them. Do you? I generally do all my pause squats without a belt but thats in about the 65% range.
What would you recommend?

When I transitioned from "bad" foods to healthier foods, it took a bit of time for my stomach to get used to it.
Had a fried oreo the other day and it didnt sit right in my stomach at all
For the most part they are all the same and you wont see/feel a difference going from one to another. Some like Orange Triad for its joint support. I use Opti-Men and probably will continue with it, I used to use Mega Men Sport which is fine. More pills in a serving = easier to digest, or so they claim (less dense, easier to break down). At the end of the day, not a huge difference at all.

dunno bout barfing up fast food. had a big mac the other night and it was glorious. smothered it with sriracha.
probably gonna continue the cut for an extra month and then do some 5-3-1 or maybe some variation of the texas method.

Currently squatting 245lbs, gonna try and hit 300lbs by the end of December.
How likely is this?

Very doable if you stick to a progressive strength routine.

245 one rep max? If you can do a good 3-4 with 245 then 300 seems plausible in a month and a half.
In the 300's though 5 lbs is gonna start being a huuuuge difference.

Using the Wendler calculation which is fairly accurate, your max is 285 based off that set.

Use a belt if you are doing a lot Olympic lifts
But for squats and dead lifts you should be fine

Yeah your gonna have to be on an aggressive linear progression kind of program. As long as you eat a crapload and recover well with rest, definitely possible. Just don't over do it

2x a week for me. Workout one group (legs/shoulders, back/bi, DL/chest/tri) have 3 days rest then hit it again. Im at the gym 5-6 times a week. Then again, I go for 8-10 reps on everything except squats and DL which on my heaviest sets still range from 4-6. Combined with running or spin every workout and still being on a cut, I feel great.

Not as much as with Olympic lifts where there's more moving parts, squats and dead lifts are just up and down
