Been working out for a looong time.... I have taken every supplement know to man. Getting back to oh natural was the best thing i could have done. i no longer require something to give me the extra boost. muscle memory is great. Easier to maintain what i have. a healthy balance in meals can make or break a routine. I am not saying that supplements dont help or build muscle. just wouldnt go back to them. its amazing what a tightly outlined routine can do for someone with some thrown in cardio. best of all.... NO SIDE effects. alot of people dont realize that a strong core and leg routine will boost every muscle in the body.

I wish i could but my knee cant handle the torture. trying to focus on muscle tone and less bullk and power. for a long time i thought strength was everything. not soo much anymore. more reps and more controlled movements... finishing all the way through and not short changing my reps has helped more than anything.

Its funny now when i look and see all these younger kids trying to throw up massive amts of weigh as fast and hard as they can. slow controlled movements is where its at. only took me 10 yrs to figure that out lol.

Exactly. Slow controled movements with free weights is key. And after 9 years i'm just realizing how much I was neglecting legs and core. I was stuck at 190lbs for years and I started hitting legs hard and quickly gained 10lbs of muscle. Never too late to learn.

yes for everything but chest.... i have found the cable fly to be my chests best friend. it has shown the best results. allows me to go past the movements of the typical weight exercises.
