    Evidence of a Ceiling Effect for Training Volume in Muscle Hypertrophy and Strength in Trained Men

    If you've got an hour to burn, you should watch this video. It's Darden describing his entire system. Even if you don't necessarily subscribe to his way of doing things, it's still very informative.

    Evidence of a Ceiling Effect for Training Volume in Muscle Hypertrophy and Strength in Trained Men

    The problem is defining what a "set" is. I can assure you that the intensity of sets done under Brad Schoenfeld's watch is a far cry from the intensity of a set done with Ellington Darden watching you. There's no way in hell you're going to do 10 sets of leg presses in a single week with Darden...

    Opening a new brokerage account in 2012, which one should I choose?

    Yeah, you forgot Datek and AB Watley. :)

    Your Perspective on Health Insurance?

    Paying health insurance premiums just annoys the hell out of me. I think it's because I take care of myself from a diet and exercise standpoint. My wife and I went without health insurance for a couple of years because the premiums were getting up there in the $800 per month range for just me...

    Disabling reply to thread older than 'x' years

    Just because a thread is older doesn't mean that there can't be something new added to a discussion at a later time, so I'm just not convinced that closing a thread after a preset length of time would be in the best interest of the members.

    Anybody had Lasik done? It Seems Like My Eyesight Went Overnight

    I hear you, but some of the text on food packages like ingredient lists or nutrition breakdown is ridiculously small and some of them have the faintest text colors as well. I don't care how good your eyes are, a lot of that text is just hard to read. I bought this thing which helps out...

    Baron's Journey to Single-Digit Bodyfat

    No. I didn't while I was there, because the technicians are just technicians and not the sharpest people I've ever encountered. However, a doctor always follows up by email a few days later, so I'm definitely going to get into it with him for sure.

    Baron's Journey to Single-Digit Bodyfat

    So I went in to get my DEXA scan done this morning, and unfortunately, the results that machine gave me were not what I was wanting to hear. It measured me at 12.5% bodyfat, which is .4% less than when I started, which equates to about 1.2 lbs of fat loss since I started this whole process. My...

    MCT oil for bulletproof coffee

    MCT oil will make you fat as a pig if you don't watch how much you use. One tablespoon of the stuff has 130 calories, which is almost as much as a 12 ounce can of Coke.

    Baron's Journey to Single-Digit Bodyfat

    Well fellas, it's hard to believe that it's been six months since I started this challenge, but the time has come to see where I stand. Just to recap, I started my journey at 12.9% body fat (pictured below on the left), and my goal was to get to single-digit body fat. I tried to schedule a DEXA...

    Vegan Bodybuilder Eats A Pound Of Soy Every Day For 35 Days - Then Tests Testosterone Levels

    I think the soy phobia is another one of those fitness myths out there that people seem to attach to. I have a bowl of miso soup every single day, which is made from fermented soybeans, and I don't notice any hormonal impact at all.

    Only dumb question is the one that goes unasked?

    It just depends on how the earnings are relative to the expectations. If an analyst gets guidance and lowers the expectations of earnings accordingly, then the stock price can stay relatively stable as long as the company meets or exceeds those lowered expectations. But no matter what the...

    Baron's Journey to Single-Digit Bodyfat

    Yeah, I can't do those at all. Even light stiff-legged deadlifts fuck my back up every time. So I just do leg extensions and leg press for quads, hamstring curls, hip thrusters for my glutes, and hyperextensions for my lower back. That's a lot of exercises to make up for what I could probably...

    Baron's Journey to Single-Digit Bodyfat

    This was me yesterday after I got stitched up. Not my best look. :D I got up this morning and realized that although my leg is sore as hell today, I should still be able to work my upper body so I did an abbreviated back workout, which was lat pulldowns and some seated rows. For me, I think the...

    Baron's Journey to Single-Digit Bodyfat

    Unfortunately, I have suffered a little setback that will likely require I push my timeline back a little. To make a long story short, my foot slipped when I was on a ladder making a ceiling repair this morning, and I fell into a wooden bookcase. Although I put my arms out and caught the...

    Baron's Journey to Single-Digit Bodyfat

    I was never obese, but also never really ripped either. I started out this journey leaner than most guys my age though.

    If you are from South Louisiana, then you miss Hubig's Pies.

    If anyone can get there hands on some locally, how about mailing me a few since I've never had one. :thumbsup::D
