		<description>Hi Rusty!

Really love your website, this past summer I purchased the Visual Impact muscle building programme and it has been the best purchase of this year for me! I had a question though... You mention that I shouldnt do cardio on the same day or the same workout in order to gain some muscle, however in Phases 1 and 2 there is HIIT after the workout done. This might make sense as I have noticed that after my workout if I do HIIT I lose a bit of the pump :(

Any advice?</description>

		<description>Hey rusty!
You mention to work for function rather than mass. I was thinking of going into parkour to help be lean and lose fat as well as being athletic. Is this covered in your book.
Thanks man</description>

		<description>Hey Rusty,

Just joined this site tonight, but have been reading through the articles you have up for a while. My question is that i&#039;m 20 years old, and i&#039;m planning on starting to working out, and putting on some muscle. I&#039;m 5&#039;5 and 137 lbs and i wanted to know what your thoughts about vince delmonte&#039;s no nonsense muscle building package are? It&#039;s a program meant to help you build &quot;lean&quot; muscle. My second question is do you think 10 lbs is enough mass for me(147 lbs) or could i go to 150 lbs ripped i want to?

thanks,</description>

		<description>Hey Rusty,

This is extremely late, but I just read your top post of Fitness Black Book and came across this. I am trying to gain a bit of mass before I start going for the lean look because my arms are skinny so I want to put some size on them before I start to lean and tone out. I saw the mass building routine you put up in another comment up there but I would like to incorporate leg work. How would you suggest doing this? Give it its own day? Or incorporate with the other lifts?

The routine was this one:
Day 1:

Chest:
Incline Barbell Press: 3-4 sets
Incline Dumbbell Press: 3-4 sets
Flat Bench Dumbbell Flyes: 2-3 sets

Back:
Chinups: 3-4 sets
Lat Pulldowns: 3-4 sets
Cable Rows: 2-3 sets

Day 2:

Biceps:
Straight Bar Curl (using an olympic bar if available): 3-4 sets
Hammer Strength Preacher Curl: 3-4 sets
Incline Dumbbell Curls: 2-3 sets

Shoulders:
Seated Dumbbell Presses: 3-4 sets
Dumbell or Cable Laterals: 3-4 sets
Hammer Strength Military Press: 2-3 sets

Triceps:
Lying Triceps Extensions with Barbell: 3-4 sets
Close Grip Bench Press: 3-4 sets
Cable Triceps Extension: 2-3 sets

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!</description>

		<description>Hi Rusty,

I really like this post and it was how I originally found your website.

Having read some of your most recent posts I&#039;m wondering if you still agree on 2 things.

1. That you need ~18 calories per pound to gain weight?
2. The post workout 1 hour window is when you need to eat 1 of your biggest meals? With eat stop eat it is advised you wait for some time after your workout to take advantage of the HGH response.

Thanks and keep up the interesting posts!</description>

I was worried to be honest because my friend is 218 pounds? we use 15 and a half stone lol erm...and i was worried i would become like him because we trained the same except i obviously did lower weights because hes been trained for 4 years now. He has a really good body Rusty, but for me its not how i want 2 look, hes a beast lol but his arms are like trees and his chest is huge whereas i want 2 have more of a shaped/toned chest than big and i want my biceps 2 look impressive muscle not just big, Thanks</description>

		<description>Hey Rusty, can i just say that i&#039;ve just found this site and i think its amazing how u give your advice and general information to people and thankyou in advance for the wisdom i will recieve.
i was jus wondering Rusty, if you could give me some pointers on how many days i should go 2 the gym, how many sets/how many reps and what body parts 2 train together please because it would be hugely appreciated. I have trained before but it was with my friend who is the typical beef cake u reffer 2 lol. my goal is 2 obviously gave muscle but i dont want huge arms and and a big chest etc i want natural muscle/abs and just general tone and definition without being skinny or big. if you could give me some tips on what to eat, maximum protein per meal etc also i would be extremely appreciative also because like i said i&#039;m about to start to workout solo and all help wud be great to help me get started. p.s i think your idea on how much muscle/what we should look like is spot on, and i don&#039;t want 2 be huge etc i&#039;m 168 pounds and my goal is 2 gain muscle, tone, impressive abs and keep my body fat percentage down without going bulky/ or looking skinny with muslce. thanks Rusty, take care pal</description>

		<description>Howdy,
     First, let me just say that I adore this site. It&#039;s gotten to the point that I don&#039;t even bother to read anything else anymore. 
     Just curious: when deliberately gaining weight as you describe in this post, how much of the weight gain should I expect to be fat and how much should I expect to be muscle? 

Best wishes,
Paul</description>

		<description>Rusty,

Excellent article. I know I&#039;m late to the discussion, but I have to say that your insights have provided some new perspectives for me as well as confirming some of my own thoughts about how to go about my fitness goals. 

I&#039;m currently in a bulking phase, with an ectomorphic build at 6-1 and 165.  As you mention, i went against the bulk-then-cut formula and incorporated some progressively intense running into my workout. So long as I&#039;m getting enough calories to offset the expenditure of the cardio, its been working --with the added benefit that the mass i&#039;m putting on in my lifting/eating regime is nearly all lean. I started out at 155 five weeks ago, after recovering from an injury which kept me inactive and depressed for a few months. The running helped to ramp up my fitness and energy levels to a point where I feel great with heavy lifting now, something I couldn&#039;t do right off the bat.

In that five weeks 10 lbs of the lean mass i&#039;d lost due to doing nothing in previous months came back, and I started running well again, so the muscle was packed on in all the right places. My medium term goals are to now bulk up to ~180 and clock my best 1 mile and 3 mile times at around 6 min and 22 min, respectively. 

These goals at first seemed contradictory and conflicting, but I&#039;m certain that if i keep my diet sufficient and consistent and my workout smart, it can happen. 

Thanks for your valuable and unique insights.</description>

		<description>BurritoKid,

Heck yeah I know who Cami was played by! The Sexiest pop star ever...Kylie Minogue! I&#039;m feeling a video, because she is smoking hot!
Justin Timberlake claims Kylie has the nicest butt he has ever seen. Here is &quot;Can&#039;t Get You Out of My Head&quot; remixed with New Order&#039;s &quot;Blue Monday&quot;.
&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/haoCgGzS0wY&amp;hl=en&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/haoCgGzS0wY&amp;hl=en&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;
[Rumor has it that you can see a nice butt shot about 1/2 way through the video]

Also Kylie has a beautiful younger sister named Danni Minogue. This is a &quot;gifted&quot; family for sure!
&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/dshceNaymts&amp;hl=en&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/dshceNaymts&amp;hl=en&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;

I&#039;m a full service blogger. How many other fitness guys know the answers to the really tough questions like these :)

Love it!

Here is a post I did which addresses that. I know exactly what you are talking about. Read the comments as well.
&lt;a href=&quot;http://fitnessblackbook.com/workout-routines/best-chest-exercises-to-build-masculine-square-pecs/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;
Upper Chest Workout&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Eric,&lt;/strong&gt;

I am going to check out my stats to see how many visitors I have had from Cologne, Germany. I have a decent amount of German readers and I love it. I&#039;m love beer (especially Belgian witbier and German WeiÃŸbier) and I&#039;m learning to enjoy Football (soccer)...I would LOVE Germany!

Okay 66 visits from Cologne, Germany so far. Over 53% are unique visitors, so around 35 different visitors from Cologne so far. For Germany in general I have had 2,766 visits and 57% are unique, so a total of around 1500 people from Germany have visited my site. I love the Internet. It is fun to communicate with people from around the globe. We all have a lot in common!

Oh yeah...your question (I get side tracked so easily)...If you are trying to gain muscle stick to just HIIT twice a week. Thanks for reading and commenting!

&lt;strong&gt;Moti,&lt;/strong&gt;

You will be fine, because your HGH levels increase a bit more if you keep an empty stomach for an hour after working out. If you are a hard gainer, you may want to think about a shake right after.

		<description>Rusty,

What happends if you dont drink a protein shake or eat anything right after lifting? Does your workout go to waste or are you still able to build muscle? 

Thanks</description>

		<description>hey,
you recommend doing cardio during the mass building phase (3-4 months) two days a week. which one do you mean? moderate or intense (h.i.i.t  e.g.)? and how long? 
greetings from cologne, germany!</description>

		<description>Rusty,
I have this problem. Im a guy and I have a very fast metabolism which isnt such a bad thing but I have a hard time filling in this area around my upper chest shoulder area where my collar bones show. I found a picture of Jackie Warner which has a similiar build as me. Not very ideal for a guy but awesome body for a woman. I was wondering if you had any ideas on what I could do to fill this area in?

		<description>Nishant,

Are you lifting for a high volume of lifts? Are you eating enough? If you are then you just have to be patient. Typically strength comes first and then size. For size training, get strong in the 6-12 rep range for a lot of sets, eat a lot and rest. You will begin to put on mass soon.

		<description>Hey Stud,

Good advice,  on the cardio front I would think a little bit would be better to keep your heart in shape. Maybe 3 times a week of at least 30 minutes.  Just to keep the cardiovascular system in shape, which hence would give your morore strength to lift.</description>
