Default Nutrions/workout questions that have been popping up....

As a service to you guys, Im going to let you in on a little secret. Anyone with nutrition and workout questions, take heed.

T-nation.com, is THE best site for questions that you guys have. Its the twoplustwo of workouts. Dont let the douche bags who say its all a marketing thing, becasue they sell products, its not. Their articles/forums are easily the best on the net. Im telling you guys this, because I fell obligated to share the info, that helped me become a FFB (former fat boy) in high school, to the animal that I am now, still working on it though. In a little under 2 years, w/ hard training and good info, they got me up to 500 deadlift, 405 squat, and 275 bench, that was about 6 months ago, last time I maxed, not really impressive, but way better than I had ever assumed I could do.

They ARE full of hype, but there are a lot of good articles, there too.

I'm less keen on their forums, though, where members seem very much to echo the most egregious excesses of the site's articles on supplements, which are very often extremely thinly disguised plugs for their own products or chops on competitors' products. You know you may not be at the best forums for nutrition information when the members there are advising that many pounds a day of beef is a great idea and that beef jerky is a healthy snack.

There are many very one-note responses there, disparaging any and all goals but those of adding huge amounts of muscle, often just for its own sake, and under the delusion that having large muscles makes one broadly athletically capable. In other words, you'll get better advice there if you're a powerlifter or bodybuilder than you will if you want to lose some weight without bulking up much, or are a triathlete, gymnast, etc. The articles are less blinkered and chauvinistic than the forums, though, and the archives are worth spending a lot of time looking through.

I also used to read and like the forums on these sites.

Each has a very different take, but both have some good insight offered there.

Your bench should be much higher in relation to your other lifts. Try anabolicreview.com, should help.
