There are too many people out there that think that you can lift every body part everyday and grow. This is not possible. For those of you who don't know, Divide your workouts up during the week one to two body parts a day( Chest & tri's, Back and Bi's). For some reason people believe that they grow while in the gym, this is not true you grow while you rest. Thats why sleep is so important, 8 hours baby. If your serious about lifting get the basics down first.

How does your workout differ from when you are not taking prohormones? Can you lift more often because the recovery time is shorter? I have lifted off and on for years, but now I hear people hitting one muscle a week more and more in the gym. I tried this but felt weaker every time I came back to chest. I liked using chest/tri, back/bi and shoulders/legs. I recently purchased the Methyl Depot and the Mohn xt and methyl 1 stack? I am 5 ’10 and weigh 245. I want to drop 20-25 pounds. I am currently trying to lean out by lifting chest/tri/shoulders on one day and back/bi/legs on the next. I am trying to get into the gym 4-6 times a week and do 30 minutes of cardio just as often. My goal is to add muscle and lean out. I am keeping my protein intake at around 250 grams and watching my fat intake. Can you recommend how I should lift and how to use these products?

when i lift its always like this. day 1 back day 2 chest tricepts day 3 shoulders bicepts day 4 legs. but cardio is important BEFORE you lift i believe because your muscles need to be warm to help get blood and oxygen there. also to avoid injury.

CARDIO AFTER WEIGHTS was recently shown to be superior for body composition in repeatable studies. The same was also shown with "warming up via stretching" as well.
Believe it or not, I have found some success with lifting half body/half body as of late.
Day 1: Quads, Chest, Tri's
Day 2: Hams, Back, Biceps, Calves
Day 3: rest
Day 4: repeat Day 1 yet w/ diff. exercises EXCEPT cpd. lifts
Day 5: repeat Day 2 yet w/ diff. esercises EXCEPT cpd. lifts
Day 6 + 7: rest
Day 8: repeat Day 1, etc.....
* this has allowed a reduction of 2% BF, while putting on about 10 lbs. of muscle CONCURRENTLY over roughly 8 weeks! Btw: ALL = 4-6 rep sets!!!

most people that i know do cardio after they lift, if they do cardio at all. most dont. i had thought that you might as well warm up by using cardio. i also did it this way because i had heard that the body needs protein right away after lifting weights. but man youve got all the scientific studies, i guess ill start doing it your way.

When it comes to cardio, I find doing around 20 to 30 minutes helps in two ways. 1. I get a mild "runners high" and find I lift better. 2. I usually get to the gym after work (around 6:30pm) and it the floor is packed, around 7pm most areas start freeing up. But of course, do what makes your body feel best and gives the best results.
