@samanthamturner I used to do a lot of hypertrophy work for my calves. Then during my last cut I was doing a lot of incline treadmill work and had pretty much ceased calve training. For the first time ever my calves got veiny and were noticeably bigger.

@samanthamturner Great post man. This will definitely help others in seeing what goes into bodybuilding and what goes into doing it successfully.

@pzero39 What really matters is your weekly average calories & tracking your intake accurately by weighing and counting. That said, skipping breakfast is shown to not have an effect in recent research. However, depending on how much running you are doing, if your goal is...

@dawidservantofgod Congrats on the win!

@racheline Novice lifting/strength focused routines. Not novice bodybuilding focused routines. A Novice bodybuilding routine should have a variety of rep ranges and strength/hypertrophy focused days. I would recommend a science based routine instead of making your own. This one is very...

@racheline This is greatly needed to critique any routine. Often beginners think that they need to lift heavy and in the 5 rep range. You should be lifting somewhere around the 6-15 or 8-12 range on compound movements with a few reps away from failure. How many times a week are you doing...

@jannieb Completely agree with everything said. A+ post.

@dawn16 Most of the wiki will be kept simple but provide resources where the reader can read in-depth on the topic. However, for controversial topics like this one, this is what it'll look like. That's not to say that this topic is really all that controversial because it isn't. Really you...

@jesusloveselonmusk Congrats on the win and the pro card, man. Also, damn what a sick vacuum.

@niecey85 So often I see comments like "Avoiding failure? You're just trying to train easy!". No, because stopping 1-3 reps shy of failure on a weight I can do 12 of means that I am also doing several more sets than I would had I trained to failure. That means I am spending more time in the gym...

@brainnetenthusiast See my profile pic.

@reyes4christ I agree with the ones recommending evidence-based guidelines. Please do tell me what a fat neckbeard I must be.

@mattheuu Why do you want to dehydrate yourself?

@americandeist Spaghetti is surprisingly budget friendly. A serving of noodles is 25cent, serving of sauce, 40cent, the big expense is the hamburger. But with how cheap the rest is, I think it makes up for it. Other than that, at my most broke, I would buy a large cup of greek yogurt, mix it...

@bobwhite They also overload them with calcium.

@richardthelambheart You can always ask any question in this thread. That puts your maintenance around 2100 calories with lifting included. [.] Rates of weight gain for novice lifters [.] For you as a 140lb intermediate, this would be 2.6lbs per month. 0.65lbs per week. Requiring a...

@commando95 Psychologically, do you feel like the refeeds helped you or do you feel like they just made the cravings worse when you had to go back to grinding?

@hiatus I usually work my way up to 14 reps. Then I'll do a few workouts at 14 reps and then add weight until it's 10-11 reps. Of course though that's a more slower approach.
