Best book on Lifting

Quote from nitro:

Thanks for the replies.

Maverick, I agree with everything you say. As mentioned in a previous post, I don't get how movie stars get in shape so fast?

If the explanation is, they live in the gym all day long, have special cooks dedicated to them, a highly trained trainer dedicated to them, etc., then I get it, but an explanation there must be.

I did a two hours straight yesterday on the TM and had by far the hardest workout on the TM. At the end I looked like I had stepped right out of the shower. It is interesting how the body gets accustomed to a particular length work out. As I was nearing the end of hour one, I was pretty tired. I pushed through it. Then about fifteen minutes into hour two, I felt like I could walk/run forever. I weighed myself and I had lost two pounds in two hours, 90 delta it was mostly water weight, so I rehydrate by drinking water like mad. I did no weights yesterday as I try not to do weights two days in a row as per most recommendations I read, giving my muscles a chance to repair themselves. Besides, all I wanted was to hit the showers and eat.

I am pretty sore today. Last month of initial goal coming up. I am pretty certain I can get to 175 if I stopped the weight lifting in this month. I am not sure that the weight should be the end-goal anymore as it was initially, but the overall competing goals of putting on muscle and being as lean as possible given that weight, genetics, health, and time expended.

Nitro,

They will deny it all day long but the truth is most of those celebs are juicing. They will swear up and down it's their personal trainer and their diet and so on but there is no way. I think the tell is look at how fast they lose their size after a movie role. If you work years to get in shape you are not going to suddenly lose it all in a few months, again the body will try to maintain what you have.

Look at stars like Edward Norton, Matt Damon, even Bale. If they were naturally like they were in their films, they would not suddenly become small and scrawny by the time they are walking the red carpet to premiere the very film they just made in which they were 30 lbs heavier.

It's no secret that most men in Hollwood juice and the drug of choice for actresses is cocaine. Cocaine keeps your body very lean. Probably best diet drug out there. LOL. So stop looking at those magazines. They are terrible for self image.

I agree. And the tell is usually the traps, irrespective of overall muscle size. 'Roids develop the traps like nobody's business. Shrugs au naturel, coupled with any type of diet, yoga, meditation, soybeans, positive affirmations or whatever, could never result in the kind of trapezius muscles that the juicers have.

It cost 20k. A little out of my price range. Apparently Tim Tebow has been using it for two years. What about the general concept of oxygen therapy? Anything to that?

And a lot of the ones near middle age are probably using HGH which will lean you out. Very dangerous long term btw: exogenous HGH also boosts IGF-1.

Have any of you guys heard of this?

Apparently it's popular among NFL athletes. It allows them to recover faster from injuries and pain. It's also being used to treat various diseases.

Hmm. Interesting. However, I'd be apprehensive about spending time in something resembling a gym bag, especially if I encountered a stray sock or other unmentionables.
