i was thinking more of like multiples of your own bodyweight (like 1Xbodyweight or 1.5X or 2X), not a specific number of pounds. but i understand what you guys are saying though. more relative to current strength.

Like others have said, it's not a perfect science. You don't always have to go that heavy to stimulate growth

I am rather new to this stuff, so excuse me if I am ignorant.. so are you saying 1800 calories worth of what ever (pork, beef jerky, fried chicken) is eguivilant to 1800 calories worth of bird food, when trying to lose weight?
Relative to simple weight loss yes. For optimal/desired body composition it's a different story.
Yes. And also what @The ADD said.
It's better over all to eat clean for your health though, not just to lose weight or put on muscle or whatever body type your aiming for.

Yes eating healthy works. For years I was of that same mentality of eat whatever you want as long as your work out. I always had a fast metabolism and stayed skinny but then all that stopped and I was on my way to being a diabetic because of that mentality. It may be cool for the moment but putting bad things in will catch up to you. I am now eating a healthy diet and feel the best I've ever felt in my life. The gains I've made are incredible.
bench press.....
I've read that wrist curls are pointless if you're a chronic masturbater.
Technically you can do some static stretching(but only for 5 seconds)Thought stretching was a no-no before lifting...cardio to get the blood flowing was preferred.
But it's encouraged to do active stretching as warmup before exercises. Which is what I live by....
I do a lot of static stretching on my off days....

First it's important to classify whether it's static or active stretching....
Secondly, static stretching gets thrown in the bushes, while working out, unless it's for very short intervals, (less than 5 seconds) or part of cooling down.....
Active stretching is the way to go, before lifting...
His arms are big as fukk, though.....
