Hm, maybe it's a chicken/egg thing. I reach more naturally with my left hand, even though I'm right handed, because my left shoulder is higher than my right because (presumably) of years of throwing.

right but i've done single arm db bench, standing 1 arm db bench etc, way back, many times.. never had a discrepancy this big.. and i'm left handed.. hehe.

WTF you are left handed??

yup.. broke it at age 5 so became righty for things like throwing a ball, shooting etc.. but i brush my teeth lefty/eat lefty/write lefty/all types of stuff.. so im a bit haywire.

natural lefty tho .. :d

Well yeah... too many eggs aren't toxic or something?

In terms of cardio - that will burn calories... and I can barely take too many to aid in muscle growth already. That's my issue. And I've started to eat really clean these last few days and plan on continuing with that. Hopefully some recomposition will occur.

Two things:

1) Eggs will instantly put your body in a catabolic state. I'm talking as soon as you put them in your mouth, kiss your muscles goodbye. In other words, for fuck's sake, no, too many eggs are not toxic.

2) Light cardio will not burn very many calories, and can help recovery. Don't think intervals, think nice long walks, easy biking, easy rowing, elliptical, etc.

lmao eggs are prob best things you can eat. Ive had 5 raw whole eggs in my morning milk shake everyday for the last year.

In Australia they even changed the RDA to increase the amount of eggs people should eat every day.

LBSS was being sarcastic about the eggs :)

adarq.org is very much PRO eggs.

@adarq: This is gonna sound like whining, but there was literally no space to do ME jumps until like 8:15, IOW until I was over an hour into the workout and had done my squats and everything. ME would have been, ahem, weak. I can usually get there either early or late, but yesterday the timing just sucked.

So, you might call that stupid, but it wasn't the stupid thing I was talking about.

definitely not taken as whining.. sucks when we can't get our jumps in.

adarq thats broscience, I jump and hit PR's with my left. From all the jumping my left arm is 1-2 inches long than my right and a bit weaker because of that.

not broscience, the dunking/jumps with reaching my arm up definitely have made my right arm stronger overhead than left.

Well my mom and dad always keep on throwing this "eggs cause liver problems" at me all the time it's getting really annoying.

Probably if you're eating like 20/day.

Aren't you like 25?

lol..

Yes I am but what I meant is that I grew up with that being repeated in my ear again and again. What does a virus has to do with eggs - I have no idea.

Probably what they mean is that many eggs are "hard" for the liver to "digest" if you will.

who cares what they meant, eggs are digested just fine and are very healthy for you .. heh!

a better way to look at this is, what do you like eating? what can you easily obtain, to eat? For example, if I was planning on putting on a ton of muscle, I would focus on things I enjoy eating: eggs, milk, meat (steak/hamburger), chicken , broccoli/carrots/spinach/olive oil, kidney beans, bananas, cottage cheese, and a supplement: whey protein (for shakes).. My diet would then pretty much only consist of that, with 1 cheat day per week.

That's what my diet looks like at the moment, minus the milk and bananas, and i am cutting weight just now lol

Dude, i eat 35+ eggs a week and i am fine. Eggs are good, and if you want to build shit tons of muscle eat plenty of them. You cant go wrong with eggs, meat, chicken, green vegies, nuts and fruit.

nice & I agree.

Haha that's insane man! I'm sure my right leg is muscularly stronger than my left at the moment (It's definitely larger) due to the severe sprain I had in March. But I always keep reps equal between limbs.

ya i'm for keeping the reps the same also (limited to the weaker limb), but, i don't listen to my own advice :D

9 rep difference between my left & right arm is pretty huge.. haha..

Haha yea hopefully the other arm just stops being a pussy :P I've been considering doing more volume for the smaller (yet still dominant in jumping) leg. Would you consider that with your strength discrepancy?

ya, it is something that could work.. it's just not as easy to prescribe, for example, do you do more on the non-dominant leg while already holding back the dominant leg, which then fatigues the non-dominant leg too much and have it less recovered during explosive sessions? etc.. that's where it gets funny. It's hard with unilateral legs though, more volume on say, right leg bss, will lead to more volume for the erectors/core/etc in that position, so it could end up creating imbalances posturally there while improving leg strength in the weak limb.

ya it gets tricky, if anything, only add one more set, but limiting to reps to the weak limb, especially on leg exercises, is definitely my advice.

Introduce Yourself / Re: Hello from Serbia

Thanks on welcome, yes i do , i was last time in june, since i lost my weight i wasnt going much, because while i was going to the gym i stoped with growing, donno how but while i was at the gym (6 months) havent growed not a single cm, and from june till now i got 1-1.5cm more so i concluded i shouldnt go to the gym for lil bit more.

well, to be honest, the weight training you did, at your age, shouldn't have had any effect on your growth.. as long as you aren't lifting 100% maximally, it wouldn't cause you to run that risk.. in fact, you get more of a hGH response by utilizing weight training than if you had not.. probably just a weird coincidence.

if you're not going to lift, you need to go hard on some bodyweight exercises and try to get really strong there.. lunges, glute bridges, calf raises, all kinds of stuff for the hamstrings, eventually phasing in drops/plyo stuff etc..

i need to write a bodyweight variation of the intro block so, when that's done it might help.. need to do that tomorrow if I'm not too busy.

for more in depth training info/critique check out the free coaching link in the menu bar, or the start here link, etc.. Journaling is important.

peace man
