Hey Layne-
I'm in need of a good exercise to target the outer bicep? Got asked this today and didn't have a clue. If possible something besides hammer curl, close grip curl, concentration curl? Thanks!

BTW isn't it about time for another episode w/ bb.com----Or are they done?

Hey, don't knock it, my dog shit capsules helped me go from 60kg to 60.025kg in a matter of nine months. Can't argue with those results.

http://www.weightrainer.net/potential.html might be of some use.

The formula Casey Butt uses works to determine at like 8% bf with your body structure what your maximum weight would be. The calculations comes to within 1% accuracy in predicting +the size of many elite drug free bodybuilder's.

holy god...according to that calculator my legs are basically done growing lol...BUT I can gain like 6 inches on my chest measurement lol

and I can get to
214lbs @ 10% bodyfat

right now I'm 220 somewhere between 13-15%....

Layne,

Joel Marion of "The Cheat to Lose Diet" stated that leptin levels drop after about a week of caloric restriction BUT it only takes 1 day of refeeding/cheating to restore leptin levels. If this is the case, I think that people who are trying to get ready for a competition would not really have to lower their caloric intake as much because they could avoid the body plateauing and therefore....having to recover from a contest would not have to take as long. Do you agree with this?

[str8flexed]

what he doesn't tell you is that it only restores leptin for about 6-12 hours

Layne, I have been on a 50-60 carb per day diet for awhile now and have had only 2 or 3 higher carb days throughout my 18 week prep. My show is 11 days away, would you suggest a high carb day anytime before this or would it mess me up? Fat has been minimal except for one eye of round steak meal per week for the last 3 weeks. Protein is around 300-350 grams a day.

Layne huge question for you. I started the max OT training progam if you are familiar with it, it calls for cardio at 16mins at a high intensity. They say to do this cardio 3-5 times a week. I was planning on doing this first thing in the morning before eating on my treadmill. Im planning on starting at 6.0mph then working on increasing my speed each session. Do you think this is effective for fat burning?

i think fasted state cardio is a terrible idea and one of the biggest myths out there. Please read the cardio section of my article here http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/layne36.htm

[lmb9909]

okay so i will train in the morning and then do max ot cardio in the nights 3-5 times per week at 16mins. do u think that will get the job done? Or do u tink it should be 30min sessions?

[str8flexed]

if it is true high intensity intervals 16 minutes should cut it

[lmb9909]

can u give me a example of what a 16min high intensity cardio session on a treadmill would look like for yourself?
such as mph intervals, inclines, etc.
