Hi Layne, or anyone else helpful enough to chime in. Can you please post the link to your FAQ? i seem to have lost it.

Thanks

Hey, layne what is the maximum grams of fat I can take in on a refeed day?
Right now it seems I will have to take in 40 grams of fat, is this too much?

You can have 41.5 grams of fat but if you have more you will blow up like a balloon within minutes.

hey layne Im 10 weeks out from a natural show (started 21 weeks out) and I was wondering if you think that I should stick with the heavy resistance training or should I do more higher volume training to really rush the blood into the muscles. Also I have been taking an amino acid drink during my workout to saturate the blood while its being pumped into the muscle. Hve you heard of the fascial stretch training?

go heavy but safe obviously. when you say saturate the blood i assume you are talking about milos' protocol?

well without knowing anything about you or what your pro/carb intake is.. i think 40g is probably fine, but again, i know nothing about you

that is a very individual thing, I hesitate to give #s because they are different for everyone

Injury update: Yesterday I went in for another check up and this time I actually got to speak with the surgeon. He felt around on the tear area and was very pleased with the progress. He said he believed I was healing ahead of schedule. He thinks I may be back lifting heavy in around 6 months which is great news. I also got to talk to him more about the actual tear itself. He told me that the lower head of my pec completely tore away from my tendon. I had always assumed it was merely a partial tear, but in fact I had completely separated the tendon from the muscle! Additionally, when it tore, the tendon snapped back and landed up against my deltoid and had actually scarred onto my delt. He had to seperate the tendon from the delt and then suture it to the entire length of the muscle. Crazy. The doctor told me that he honestly was worried that the sutures would not hold, but now he is very encouraged because it seems to be healing well. In his words "we're holding that thing together with shoe laces and bubble gum man." He wants me to keep the brace on my arm for another 3 weeks to ensure that I do not tear my sutures away. After 3 more weeks I'll begin physical therapy and start to get some of my function back. As you can imagine, I am thrilled to death with how well everything has gone.

Great news man !

I could imagine after an injury like this one must get extremly paranoid about goin heavy on anything that involves chest.

Yeah why is it that you never hear hear about people tearing pecs on incline, but bench is like the Water loo for folks?

Really gald to hear the progress is going good Layne. Hey just think of it like this. I was out for 6 months and now training again consistant since the beginning of Feb I'm up 4.5lb from before I got injured and with lower BF%. So it ain't no thing. You got this.

I have noticed that the real problem with flat bench is that it has become more of a demonstration rather than an exercise. Just my $.02.

And quite honestly, no matter how much I concentrate on form for either, I always feel it better in my chest with at least a slight incline...
