I love pizza, fired rice, beer, bacon, bacon, bacon, donairs, etc.

i feel bad for your heart

if i rem correctly brett.

didnt you say you dont eat until 2pm or something ?

From 2pm-10pm, usually.
Very difficult to worry about such a short time frame when my caloric intake is 3000+ (like it is now)

New snack: 1 chicken breast in a tortilla with 4 strips of bacon and tex mex cheese!

anyone got an tips on squating? want to start doing it but dont wanna start off with bad form or lift with my back instead of my legs

^ just always try and stick your butt out as much as possible before going down.
stick your butt out, then go down, and find a spot thats diagonal from you, but above you to keep your head up, and help you chest stay up.
once you naturally have you butt going out first before your knees bending, you can make it one fluid motion.

Read "Starting Strength" by Mark Rippetoe. 60 pages dedicated to just the back squat. The book is worth its weight it gold.

put a flat bench where you will be squatting. 
get your @ss all the way down and touch the bench.

perfect parallel squat.

no half, or quarters.

It's pretty crazy how I'm getting better workouts on low calories with EC then I get with normal/high calories without EC.

To the people who have asked questions about it, make sure to do some thorough research before you start using it. Start off very slow and you shouldnt hit the standard 3 tablets x3 a day until several weeks after you've begun using it. The stuff is very effective and relatively safe but you run into trouble when you take too much right off the bat or when you take more than you need and your body doesnt respond to it anymore after a few weeks.

I've been looking into this EC stack, and I was wondering what kind of cardio you do with it.  I have read that HIIT is not good when on this stack.  But a lot of my cardio routines are HIIT or just things that have my heart rate fluctuating a lot.  Mainly because it keeps my mind busy.  Am I limited to a steady jog or walk uphill?

Also, I have read a few different places and products to get this stack, but which products did you use and where did you cop from?

I jog on the treadmill for 30 minutes, i dont go past 5.5 mph. I wouldn't recommend doing HIIT, your heartrate will be all over the place.

Bronkaid from Rite Aid and regular ol Caffeine pills.

JordanDon, GJ man.
    

thanks a lot, the info is appreciated.  When you went on the stack, what was your starting dosage, and what did you end with? I have read to start with half dose of each, but all the caffeine pills I have had are in capsule form

Most times I squat I try to go deeper than parallel so that on my last couple reps even if I'm tired I at least go parallel. Is that a bad thing?

Random question, what do you guys usually do right after you work out? I'm not talking food I just mean in general.

Nah... as long as you are not doing LESS THAN parallel you are good.
I head home right after... A) so I can eat.. B) because I'm too tired to do anything else

Stretch, hot shower, computer/TV, basically just relax. I'm usually too tired to do anything else

IMO you should make sure you can do a near perfect overhead deep squat with your body weight before loading a regular squat. If not, you are just re-enforcing faulty movement patterns, which increases injury risk and limits your future potential for mobility and strength/power production. I'd say 85% percent of the clients I screen don't even come close to being able to do an overhead deep squat with their body weight.

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]Seeing this is Niketalk, and we all came here cause of the nikes as a kid...I've seen a lot of Olympic lifting talk, and weight lifting shoe talk recently in here...so here is a link for some Nike's coming out next month, kinda pricey though...[/color]

Weight Lifting Shoes

I've been waiting on another run of the Romaleos, although I'd prefer these:

I don't think I'll be able to pass up on the all black though. 

Even though I have my issues with Crossfit, there are plenty of good things to take away from it. Keep the elbows parallel to the floor and you'll drive through the front squat much harder.  How long have you been at crossfit? 

 

[streetpharmacist]

almost summertime...the time when everyone wants to get fit

 

[wawaweewa]

Just to point out in Brett's post the dude was�demonstrating�a�power lifting�or low bar back squat technique. The other type is the�Olympic�squat which is more an upright, up and down motion.�
Unless you're a competitive powerlifter I wouldn't train powerlifitng squat. It's a specialized technique created to specifically handle as much weight as possible.�The�oly squat is a more athletic, natural squat and the results from it transition much better into other aspects of�strength. There's always a debate but oly squatters are stronger.

200lb dude, 600 for 3 reps.�

btw what he said about not keeping the bar centered on back and racking the weight with 1 foot forward...oly lifters do that all the time. 

Not taking anything away from powerlifters. They're good at what they do.

in 2010 i was 210 pounds and was in the worst shape of my life 

 finally decided i needed to change everything around me, started to eat healthy and smart again and started weight training, and playing alot of basketball. Now im down to 170 and currently trying to get to 160 and being able to squat at least 320, do you guys believe you can gain strength on a calorie deficit? not really muscle size, just strength, thanks!

It's very possible. You just need to train in a specific way.

DAH FFFU???
How much was she squatting????

Thanks for clearing that up... I've been hanging around the BB forums too much. Ive never had a clear indication of what to do, always just trusting people who lift heavy $!## 

So, as far as squatting. I'm not really looking to build BIGGER legs, I just want to be stronger. What "style" of squat should I be doing and can you show a video?

Also, for bench press... obviously for pec development I shouldn't be doing power lifting style (which I have been)... that's obviously why I have no chest... can someone post a vid on how to bench of muscle development?
