Why buy ON? I just checked, you can get 10 lb chocolate whey from TN for $74 shipped
Personally I order 50lbs of truenutrition recession Whey and pay like $6 or so a lb with coupon/free shipping. Only need to order once a year. Large initial investment but cheaper long-term, which is how I roll.
I'll grab whatever deals show up on Slickdeals to have some flavored variety to throw in my car and mix with water when I need to.
Yeah that's probably the best way to go. Where is the recession whey, cheapest I could see was high grade concentrate

Never looked there, maybe I'll start.
What's TN? I'm getting back on protein and definitely need a good source.
Edit: t-nation? nevermind
They changed the name recently I believe. I think the concentrate is the new name, though price went up a bit. Around Xmas they offer free shipping and a 10% off coupon code that bring it down a good amount.

This was the replacement for the recession whey.
The difference is astounding. Isn't Kai Greene like 260lbs and 5'8"? Does anyone know who the other guy is? I'd guess a few inches taller and maybe 200-215lbs.EDIT: Interesting photo. Gives you perspective on the difference between "Professional" and "big"
Oh, thanks for that.
Sweet baby jesus that's cheap. Anyone has thoughts on flavoring? I'm looking at Natural Chocolate/stevia
Post-leg workout tacos and ice cream. Today is awesome.
EDIT: Interesting photo. Gives you perspective on the difference between "Professional" and "big"
the guy on the right looks like some barbarian out of a video game or something, unreal
Hah I was just sending this link to a buddy and saying Kai Greene is a barbarian in D3 standing next to a couple NPCs.
it's his job. and he's got people slobbin his knob 24/7 so I'm sure he's happy with it.
not saying I want to be that big. lol. I think that arnold picture someone posted recently is a good goal.

Thanks for the diet advice. I'll have to go pick up.. all of that stuff.
Equipment wise it's everything I listed. Specifically the dumbbells are 15 & 20lbs. Not sure what the resistance is on the bands.
No access to a bench, though I could probably pick one up since my company will cover the cost.
My new motivational mantra before heavy squats is: "Whenever you squat, remember that somewhere, somehow, a Crossfitter is warming up with your 1RM." That gets me pretty fired up.

I'm not really into Bodybuilding but Kai Greene is awesome.
He has a Zen-like focus and he's also incredibly articulate.
Yeah, this documentary is great. There's a great quote at the end where he talks about how habit and consistent action leads to greatness.
Just don't Google 'kai greene grapefruit'. It's quite terrifying.
Seriously.. Don't do it. :|

Is it normal for people not to sweat during a workout? I hardly break a sweat when I do. But the guy next to me is drenching in sweat.

Wish I was you. I sweat heaps at the gym and more in general since going too. Now I have to sleep with my ceiling fan on or I sweat just laying in bed. :/
Thanks for posting this. Amazing how even when squatting 4 plates at the end of the workout he's not visibly bothered, doesn't grunt or anything just takes a sec to compose himself and breathe and then it ain't no thang. Dudes a monk.
They canceled my order for $10 PB&J quest bars... =(
Kind of interesting the 20 rep stuff they were doing...

Well you're gonna need tons of hardwork, superior genetics, and access to thousands of dollars of drugs to look like that. I do appreciate his total commitment.
Beside's he's an IFBB pro. All those guys are juicing and taking tons of stuff.

Why did I have to google that lol.
In that picture he looks like Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones....but like 3 times the size.
Yeah, bro-science is the best lol. My answer was actually in the OP, the # of Sets/Reps chart and the Muscular Hypertrophy section answered my question
A good balance between high reps & low reps seems to be the answer.
This is amazing. Rip going off about people asking how to do power cleans with iron plates. Grumpy old man.

I love how there's a random monkey just sitting there.
I've been doing RPT for all the major lists and the few supplemental exercises I incorporate from learning of it through leangains. It works for me very well I feel, and you're doing it wrong.
You start with your heaviest weight first- maybe do a warmup if you're not very experienced with the movements- then you descend the pyramid, doing more reps with less weight.
I've never understood other programs where you tire yourself out doing many reps of light weight before moving on to your heaviest; no commonsense there.
I suppose some people struggle getting hyped, but when you're in a fight with the bar everyday that should be all the motivation you need, as soon as I load it up I'm pissed and forget about everything else lol.

Lulz.
This is one of the better fitness channels on Youtube. Brandon is a very down to earth guy.

Seriously. He's a beast. 405lbs like it's nothing and after having worked out his legs for like 2 hours. Damn.
Wow, jeez that sucks. RIP.
Well, he did kind of ruin gyms in a way, with machines, isolation routines, splits, encouraging steroid use, lifting without concern for performance and shady supplements, but he was still a big part of making weight training what it is today.
lolwut?
Not every lifting routine is a variant of SS, nor should it be.
If you want to pin the blame on him for what Planet Fitness has become today, that's... a big stretch.
LOL
It's not a huge stretch. Selling those machines as an improvement is a big part of why so many gyms are such garbage today. You don't have to believe everyone should do SS to realize that machines are a detriment to overall fitness culture. We'd be better off without them wasting real-estate.

Isolation routines aren't optimal for natural trainees.
It's proven that natural trainees do better hitting body parts at least twice a week. Splits favor enhanced lifters.
Not that you can't make progress on splits. And some people need the variety, but the old school natural set trained with full body routines.
Since I'm only doing chest once a week now, I've started doing 200 pushups a day, 4 sets of 50. Might drop down to 100 weighted pushups, and that brings me to this question, anyone here use chains? I want to incorporate them into my workout, wondering where's a good place to get some 40lbs chains from.
