stretch marks on my shoulder?

why would i be getting stretch marks on my shoulder? looks like stretch marks, unless its from the padded thing when doing calf exercises

means your muscles are getting bigger, thus your skin is stretching...thus get marks.....stretch marks...or your getting fatter

Are you bulking or cutting? Stretch marks around one's shoulders/under arms are pretty common.

S10XtremeNLow why would i be getting stretch marks on my shoulder? looks like stretch marks, unless its from the padded thing when doing calf exercises i get them too. mostly on the front of my shoulder and running from my pecks to armpits. i also get them on my lower back.

tize i get them on my nuts you get them on your labia, bitch.

if its right on the top of your shoulders and theyre pretty long, I'd guess they're from the calf raise machine, I get them every time I use a similar device.

velamint if its right on the top of your shoulders and theyre pretty long, I'd guess they're from the calf raise machine, I get them every time I use a similar device. word, i got them from the hack squat machine, and also from bar when doing squats.

ryazbeck you get them on your labia, bitch.

If you're getting them on the tops of your shoulder, it's most likely the padded thing from the calve machine. I say that because I noticed the same thing. When I get into the shower after going to the gym when I do my calves, I'll notice red stripes on my shoulders from the pad pushing down on my shirt's seam. Mine go away after a while though.

I got that too after about a month of lifting... both biceps but only on my right shoulder though, is there any way to make those bishes go away or is it there for life?

he's scarred for life holmes@!

Question about cycling carbs...

Is there any reason you couldn't lower your total caloric intake on the days you carb up? Say...carbing up every 3 days.. day 1: 2200 cal/ 50g carbs day 2: 2200 cal/ 50g carbs day 3: 1600 cal/ 200g carbs

timberwolf Is there any reason you couldn't lower your total caloric intake on the days you carb up? Say...carbing up every 3 days.. day 1: 2200 cal/ 50g carbs day 2: 2200 cal/ 50g carbs day 3: 1600 cal/ 200g carbs if your trying to stay lean as well then up the fats on the low day and drop the fat on the high one

PurEvl if your trying to stay lean as well then up the fats on the low day and drop the fat on the high one Yep that was my intent as well. Is this what you do now... lowering your total calories on your carb up days?

timberwolf Yep that was my intent as well. Is this what you do now... lowering your total calories on your carb up days? ya by removing added fats...olive oil, almonds etc. im defcient no matter what day though, I just try and keep it balanced.

Thanks again.

ACURA TL-S I am guessing the other 800 calories on the low carb day will be mostly proteins? You mean low calorie day? I probably won't be able to totally have 0g of fats... so 600-700 calories will be from protein which is 150-175g of protein.

timberwolf You mean low calorie day? I probably won't be able to totally have 0g of fats... so 600-700 calories will be from protein which is 150-175g of protein. No, not completely, just mostly.

tize Purevl: what does cardio do for you when bulking? does it at all cancel some of the bad cals while allowing you to maintain/gain muscle? Presumably clean bulking. I ask because im at a body fat percent that im happy with from cutting and im going to clean bulk but I don't want my stomach growing faster than my arms for the summer. cardio is a good way to keep you in check tize. You will have to figure out the amount thast right for your goals though. I would guess 3 times a week at 30 minutes at a good clip would do it.

listen to pur

tize wtf does that mean big guy do cardio

tize pm me your aim s/n or email or something I will be on tomorrow tize, whats your aim

cardio would i imagine also help with appetite.

i'm never doing cardio

christophers i always cycle carbs someway when i diet i like this setup the most tho training = mon, wed, fri, sat mon=100g carbs tue=50g carbs from veggies wed=300-400g carbs thur=50g carbs from veggies fri=100g carbs sat=300-400g carbs sun=50g carbs bench is my weakest, so i stack carbs there. this does not much physiologically except for glycogen replenishment/management, but its easy to stick to and i still make str gains i think the reason why a lot of people make no str gains when dieting is because they dont do anything cyclical. they just diet on one constant macronutrient ratio. look at my log. ive been dieting for 3-4 weeks now and still making great strength gains. size? no. but strength yes. and i ALWAYS make strength gains when dieting. That's what I've always done in the past. Is your fat and protein intake consistent in all those days?

christophers and from what ive seen purevl uses a NHE/Beverly type of setup which is pretty popular amongst bb circles its really simple.. i may be wrong but just what ive gathered undereat/low carb for 4-5 days and "carbup" but only for a meal or on 2 days. the goal would just be to replenish glycogen to allow for better training. a beverly/NHE setup would look like: mon-low carb throughout day + 250-300g carb meal at night tue-50g carbs wed-50g carbs thur-50g carbs fri-low carb throughout day + extra meal added w/ 200-250g carbs sat-50g carbs sun-50g carbs the competitive bb'tr in my gym consults wth beverly int. and this is the basic setup they gave him for pre contest. I use two days and carb throught the day, not just one meal. But very similiar. Didnt know my method had a name now? This is how its been done for 20 years at least as far as I knew? Im also sensative to carbs so I do it this way, there are better ways believe me

christophers ya, its the bev way of dieting. its also in the NHE book basically. ideal dieting is taking enough gh and t3 so you can eat wendys right until the show

christophers mon=100g carbs tue=50g carbs from veggies wed=300-400g carbs thur=50g carbs from veggies fri=100g carbs sat=300-400g carbs sun=50g carbs I've been thinking a lot lately about doing almost the same thing. Basically on training days, keeping normal carb levels. On off days, cut carbs down veggies only (around 30g probably). Not sure whether I want to leave fat at 25-30%, or drop it to PSMF levels. Any thoughts on this?

UNDER THE ACTIVITIES SECTION where do they get the total calories used info from? There is a section where you can put in stupid things like brushing teeth...putting on make up, etc. All I am doing is putting in my workout..like weight lifting and cycling. Calories Burned Today source cals % total Total:3234 Basal:1665 51%Lifestyle:1015 31% Activities:555 17% that's what i have so far. 3234 cals burned! that's alot. basal as 1665...I burn 1665 calories in my sleep?

No you body performs a whole lot of mechanical processes to keep you alive. This takes energy, a lot of energy in fact. I wouldnt bother inputing the piddly crap. Stick to workouts and basal.

wtf v. arnolds encylcopedia

wtf v. arnolds encylcopedia

so i borrow the encyclopedia from a friend and read this in the 'chest' section "this is the proper way to do narrow-grip bench presses: keeping the elbows out and away from the body at the bottom of the movement...allows a full contraction of the pectorals at the top, which helps to develop the inner part of the chest"

just reading about all this elbow-out bs is making my shoulders hurt

If you read Arnold's Bible for real advice..don't expect to get much :P I have it because it's a classic but it's a little outdated in some of its stuff.

inner chest



hes saying that to develop inner chest not triceps

its a general focus at the top of the rep to contract the chest...which will focus more conentration in the middle/inner part of your chest.

narrow grip is different from close grip

bodybuilders: volume training?

bodybuilders: volume training?

im considering switching over to something a bit different after another cycle or two of CP. may go back to bb training for something different. anyone familiar with volume training? it seems to be low work, decent speed, focused on supersets. im guessing itll work well for fuller looking muscles. link for reference:http://www.musclemedia.com/training/gvt.asp#phase

What does CP stand for?

tize conjugate periodization it all makes sense, thanks.
