It would be great if you can put up an article about losing muscle when doing cardio. You know talk about how to avoid muscle too much muscle loss, the best time to do cardio, how much cardio, you know something along those lines. Thanx
deifinately...
something on changing body composition, once you got all your hard earned flesh would be nice to see a little more of it without having to diet to much and loose size, you cant grow if you dont eat.
Cheers
Something about cardio would be nice to read up on. The difference between HIIT and cardio for a longer period. Does one burn more muscle than the other, and if so what can be doen to minimize it. I was also wondering if HIIT would be the right choice for people that are overweight or obese and or have heart problems.
the problem is it's still an ongoing debate on every board... you hear Palumbo and Evan Centopani swear by low-intensity cardio and then the next day you hear from a fitness guru that a 10min HIIT workout is all you need... find out which works best for you, in bodybuilding there aren't many rules set in stoneQuote:

What muscle am i the weakest with and what do i do to catch it up??? Any help would be greatly appriceated..
personally I ordered a pair of wrist wraps, never before in my life have i ever used these, i know the loop is for the thumb but every time i put the one on the left on it feels fine but the one on the right just doesn't feel right, the animal logo ends up underneath my wrist instead of on top of the wrist where its supposed to show.(only on the right wrist) Any specific directions to how to wear them? I know it might sound like a newbie question but help a brother out?
Front Delts and Triceps, but whats so cool about a big bench? how about deadlifts? or squats? everybody wants a big bench!! whyyyyy!! rofl jk i feel ya though....doing some close grip bench and some weighted dips to power up those triceps and after every chest workout do heavy strict front delt work.Quote:

I agree with this whole heartily. Close grips will help u get it off ur chest. Delt will help u get it started and ur tris will do the rest, ur chest is mainly for the middle portion of the press.Quote:

I´ve tried with wrists wraps and all, but i would like not to, just do it naturally!! I also see my wrists are kind of skinny... not that i care too much, but when i compare the size of my full arm i see there is a big difference. WHAT DO THE ANIMALS RECOMEND ME?
Try adjusting your grip. Wider, narrower, ensure the bar is directly in line with your forearms/elbows. Also maybe try training your grip and forearms.Quote:
