so much for being "all natural"
I thought it was a safe assumption to make that everyone who does those shows is on something?

oh I agree as well. It is just that he was preaching every chance he got that he was "all natural" a la Lance Armstrong.

I'll start the first all natural bodybuilding competition
We'll call it
The All-Natty Kings
If you are found in violation of any usage of anything besides food, sleep, and hard work - we cut muscle OFF of your body.

Bringing it lower means you get a better stretch. But it all depends on the person. Some people have longer arms and as such can't bring it to their chest as it could/will cause discomfort in their shoulders. Do what feels right for you.
And the only beer you're allowed to drink is Natty Light.

It's only fair!
I'm an advocate of touching your chest and have never had an injury in over 20 years. However, I've had numerous people tell me that I shouldn't be going down all the way and by doing so I am risking injury. I say if you are able to without discomfort then go for it. I do believe it will lead to a stronger chest by going down fully.
Came across this. Should be added to the OP
Yeah, but what about the part where you have to die a few times.
Though, that might be counted as a combination of workout and rest.
True. Why is it that I see some of the big roided out bodybuilders do workout videos and most of the time they're not doing full range of motion on bench press or squats? Assuming they think they get a bigger pump not going as far and doing more reps?

My cardio is sooooooooo ass. Run a few laps and my knees/calves are begging for mercy.
Because they have no interest in being strong. All they care about is size. It's precisely the reason a 185lb guy like myself consistently puts up more weight than most guys 30-40 pounds heavier than me.
Gotcha, they're lifting more weight than they can really lift with proper range of motion.
I gained 5 pounds over two days at my college orientation because of all the food in the lunchroom lol
I never touch and I never fully lock. Keep dem pecs engaged the entire workout. I also prefer coming down slow as it works the muscle a bit more. Just my .02
Edit: I should also note I'm talking about floating a 1/4 inch from touching/ locking and using slow/controlled movements.
Best of luck Sean, hope everything is alright and you can get back to lifting soon.
Been getting sick since the weekend and it came to a head yesterday. Was gonna skip the gym and just focus on getting some rest, but decided at the last moment to not be a punk.
Good thing I did too cause I crushed several milestones. Got 225lbs 3x5 for bench and 300lbs 3x5 squat both for the first time.
Got 345 for deads but for the first time I couldn't do even one rep at working weight with double over hand grip. Might have been because I am sick but I felt kind of worn down on deads for the first time today so I think I'm going to finally start only doing them every other work out day. Probably work in bent over rows or see if I can't find a better back extension chair in the gym.

We just need a version with Goku in fetal position sucking his thumb after squats.
I'm with you in spirit. I have a doctor's appointment today to see if I need to get a pilonidal cyst excised. Again.
Take care, man. I hope everything is fine.
Correct. My wife gets bummed sometimes because my friends gf squats more than her but my wife goes really deep and the gf barely hits parallel. I try to tell her how much more difficult it is to dig yourself back up from a deep squat and that she shouldn't compare the two.

The new Quest bar flavor is out, be on the lookout!
Whatever happens Sean, you'll power through it.

I'm not sure what the reason is but i think i actually find it more difficult when i don't do a deep squat. It probably doesn't make sense but when i tried doing a few squats where i didn't go all the way down it was actually harder for me.

Ok, how many calories do I need per day? I'm 78-79 KG and 183-186 cm tall
I'm beginning my bulk soon, to gain as much muscles as possible. Should I add an extra 500 kcal per day?

LOL yeah.
This sounds quite stupid, but if it were possible to magically not to ever have the need to shit, I'll take that 'power'.
I just laid a couple of logs that blocked the toilet. Thankfully after a few persistent flushes + bleach it all went away, but I just hate it when this crap happens.
You need to stop thinking there is some exact number.You want to add as much muscles as possible? Add another 8000kcal per day. The more overall calories, the more muscle possiblr. Just means lots of fat alongside it.
You are way too focused on the wrong shit. Eat a ton. Lift hard and heavy. You are a noob.
I did CKD Keto for a year. It was a good time. Now I just carb cycle .
I'm the same way on lower weights. It's automatic now to go deep and pop back up. When I start approaching weight close to my 1rm usually around 400 the difference between below parallel and parallel is pretty significant. At least for me anyway.
Hopefully nothing serious. Let us know when you get back.

Think I'm past the beginner stage now with a solid grasp on the majority of lifts, exercises and nutrition goals.
Would you say this routine is overkill or OK?
Mon - Rest
Tues - Shoulders/Biceps (includes OHP)
Wed - Rest
Thursday - Chest/Triceps (Includes bench)
Friday - Legs/Upper body rest (includes squats and deads)
Saturday - Back/Biceps (includes pullups)
Sunday - Triceps

No, I don't want to get fat. I'm not at the beginners stage as I've gone to the gym for the last 4 years. Just haven't taken it all serious until now.
Like I said, I want to gain as little fat as possible. Was planning to get to 85-86 KGs in 4 months and then start cutting
Looking terrific man. Looks like a fun trip too.
I've heard great things about that as well. Great to know it is working for you and that it's worth looking into.
For you, everyday will be bicep day for a while. Hope you heal up quick man.
This post is like stepping into a time machine for me. I was in the same position but I had "5 years under my belt"
You're a beginner. It's not an insult, you just are. Use it to your advantage because you have a lot of beginner gains ahead of you.
You're not gonna balloon into the Michelin man if you just eat and lift heavy.

But isn't it still better if I keep my kcal at +500 and get to the desired weight in 4 months? I'm sure I'd gain much less fat that way and when the cut time comes it will be easier
I don't want to get huge, I just want more defined muscles with less bf
