Bwood as big as you are...pause. I expected more from your diet. I'm talking complete proteins in every meal type stuff. Kinda took me by surprise.

That's because it's someone of a myth how much protein you actually need...

To the folks consuming 2 scoops simultaneously after a workout....if that's not just for the sake of more calories, than it's useless. As mentioned many times in this thread, your body can only absorb so much at once...

^ hell yea

Was taking a look at one of All Pro's workout... How do you interpret the sets/reps scheme?

Bench Presses do 4 work sets rep scheme 4-5-6-7-8 Do 2 warm up sets. 25% of the work set weight for 15 reps and 50% of the work set weight for 10 reps.
Bent-Over Rows do 4 work sets rep scheme 4-5-6-7-8
Overhead Barbell Presses do 2 work sets rep scheme 6-7-8-9-10
Barbell Curls do 2 work sets rep scheme 8-9-10-11-12
Tricep press do 2 work sets rep scheme 8-9-10-11-12
Hammer grip dumb bell press do 2 work sets rep scheme 8-9-10-11-12
Pull down do 2 work sets rep scheme 8-9-10-11-12

For instance, it says 4 work sets... but '4-5-6-7-8' is 5. Likewise with 2 sets but '8-9-10-11-12'
Am I looking too into it and those are suggestions? Like either do 4 sets with a rep scheme of '4-5-6-7' or '5-6-7-8'

At first I tried to not do cardio cause I felt like I could use that time to lift more.
But instead I just decided to add it because my stamina isn't where I want it to be.
So now I'm aiming to work out 1.25 - 1.5 hours, mainly lifting but I finish it up with a 1 - 2 mile run.

Also, I haven't completely adapted to a diet yet but I'm made some progress in my eating habits.
Breakfast: I was eating a bowl of cheerios but after reading some responses in here, I might switch.
On my lunch breaks I try to eat a Turkey sandwich on wheat bread, with a banana, and a water bottle for my drink.
For Dinner I usually just eat what my dad cooks but in smaller portions. He likes to cook vegetables so that's a plus.
Should I incorporate another meal/snack into my diet? Usually the three meals, plus my protein shake after each workout, keeps me full.

This thread right here is my motivation, big thanks to all the users who help out others.

turn that three meals a day into 6-8 small meals..

protein shakes are meal replacements btw 
  
seriously bro?

She has a nice physique. No joke...she has the upper chest/delt area I need in my life. Like all she does is incline press. Suggestions on how to build that area more?

 

[troymcclure]

Took this week off. I've been having a few nagging aches and pains. Mostly in my back but I have a chronic injury and my back/neck will bug me all the time.
I've also had to focus a lot on school so the break is much needed.

I think I am going to go pay how ever much I need to and get me an hour of a deep tissue massage or something before Monday rolls around. 

I need one.

I've made some decent gains, me pretty recently in flattering light.

 

[2lipslegit]

For the guys that started out doing full body days every day... when did you switch over to a split?

Im getting to the point where its feeling impossible to finish my workouts going all out on every exercise, so Im starting to think about breaking it up somehow into different days.

 

[chuck67]

Could someone reccomend me a good creatine to try? ive used the optimum powdered form but i dont really care for the taste, or the fact that its hard as hell to mix in liquids.

I would say yes from my experience. 
I dropped about 13 pounds while on whey.  I was not trying to bulk at all...just shed fat....

Ok guys, I need some advice on workout splits...
This is what I've been doing for the past 3 months or so:

Monday- Chest, shoulders, triceps

Tuesday- Back & biceps

Wednesday- Cardio & abs

Thursday- Chest, shoulders, triceps

Friday- Back & biceps

Saturday- off

Sunday- off

This is what I started doing this week:

Monday- Chest

Tuesday- Biceps & Triceps

Wednesday- Cardio & abs

Thursday- Shoulders

Friday- Back

Which split will give me the most gains? I feel like the old split is too much and the new split is too little. Would i still see gains in my chest if im only doing it once per week?

Stick to the push and pull split.

Chest then back. Give a day or two off in between chest and shoulders.

Chest
Back
Off or Legs
Shoulders
Arms day if you want. (I have one)
Off
Repeat or off. (I repeat)

But who was legs?  Tri's after Chest day? Pull your skirt down and incorporate abs into your daily routines. Check BB.com for Splits.

For my oats eaters: How do you prepare them? I’ve never liked them so to eat it every morning I assume you guys are adding something to it to make it bearable.
