[@bobbykotick1163]

+Teqo7 this advice is worth 0 dollars if you aren't on drugs. You only need 1 gram of protein per pound if you are natural and forced negatives take the body too long to recover from if you are natural. Also training a muscle once per week when you are natural is too long, when on drugs protein synthesis occurs for a longer period

[@bobbykotick1163]

***** It has been proven that training each body part twice per week instead of once builds muscle faster, especially if you are natural. I won't explain why scientifically because you are the kind of person that ignores facts if it inconvenient to his worldview.

[@michaeledwards7967]

Injury prevention from a 57 year old middle-distance runner (I know....very different from bodybuilding but the principle remains the same). exercise the muscles through their full range of movement and have a flexibility element to every training programme. Warm up....pre-stretch....training element....post stretch. (and then if you can manage it...swim. I do not know why it is but swimming, especially after a heavy hypertrophy session, is really helpful with recovery) And most importantly, have fun people. Life is to be lived not endured.

[@SilentNinjaaa]

Absolutely. I say thrive, don't merely survive. Live life boldly!

Stretching is good after training, not before!
