I can't answer your question as it's the same one I've been wondering as well. I feel like you could be in a caloric deficit, but what you eat is so jam packed with protein that the muscles are still able to grow/become stronger. Feel like there is some bad science behind that.

Hey guys. Like the title says, is there anyone near my area that is looking for a lifting buddy? Preferably someone that I could meet up with at the Pro Performance in the Suncrest Plaza.

I apologize. Was on a time crunch but have ample time now. Age: 19 Goal: More strength but in general just overall fitness. Haven't joined a guild yet but when I do it will be the Rangers if that helps at all. Experience: 4 years during high school. Was a lineman in American football for the team, so I know my powerlifts. Freshman year I weighed 175. By my physical for sophomore year I was 210 with 20-25 pounds of that being muscle. We would lift 3 days a week, one year 5 days so picking up an extra day is not a problem for me. Helps when you are up around 5:30 every morning haha. My problem though is that is has been a year and a half since I last was in a gym and I have fallen off the wagon. I know the routine is bodybuilderish, but I want to incorporate that with some powerlifting and calisthenics as well. Some additional info: I divided the program up into two weeks with the piece above being from Week 1. I also divided the days between Power and Volume. So Week 1 goes like this: Monday/Tuesday: Power Wednesday/Thursday: Volume Friday/Saturday: Power Week 2 is the opposite of those. If you need any additional info, please feel free to ask. Thank you for taking an interest!

Salve everyone. Like the title says, I'm wondering if the program I developed is too much for my body in that it'll cause more harm than good. Been trying to find a balance between overloading and overtraining. Just going to use today's workout as an example. Monday- 5X5 Wrist Curls Supernating Curls Hammer Curls 21's Skullcrushers Tricep Overheads Kickbacks Alt. DB Standing Rows Steering Wheels Lat Front Raises DB Bench Dips Inverted Rows Now what I'm trying to do is divide my body into different groups. MWF will be for upper body, TRS for lower body and cardio. To further divide my upper body, mainly arms, I did forearms, biceps, triceps, shoulders. Since arms are my main focus on Mondays, each sub division will do three different lifts. Chest is second on Mondays, so two for chest. Back is last, so one. Wednesday it cycles. So instead of Arms being the focus, it's my chest. So my chest will do 3 lifts, back-2, arms-1. And so on. Back to my main point. Is that too much? I know I gave little info about the rest of the program but it generally follows the same rules. Any helps is appreciated guys!
