Because I was with wife yesterday, I didn't start my new routine... Well today I start with Chest/triceps, I have to say WOW! Combining both areas make me feel like I just started working out! Love it! Thanks hrpiii!

Experts! I need a list of exercise that you believe we should not do!

[Monchy36]

1) I see so many protein shakes with different amounts, so how much protein will be best? (20g, 30g, 40g per serving) any recommendations of specific brand?
2) I'm looking at videos of people death lifting heavy and then pass out! How you know when you suppose to not go higher? What happen to this people in that moment?

When more questions come to my mind I bring them here or if you have some ask here so expert answer them!

too long of a list, IMO. It would be easier if you list your exercises and see if anything jumps out.

1. I love Monster Milk, and Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex. Both have lots of Protein, BCAA's, Vitamins and taste great. Cytosport would be my third choice. It's best to go with quality protein from good companys.

2. You go till you can't lift it. The passing out is from taxing their CNS (central nervous system) more than their body can handle (thus it shutting down). Remember, your body is smarter than you, if you are pushing it beyond what it can handle, it will shutdown to protect itself. I can push my body pretty hard till I start seeing 'stars' and I know when I am getting to that point. The harder you push yourself, the more you will get to know where that fine line is at. You are not pushing yourself to that point at every workout, but when you really want to see where your max's are at, this is when you are going 110% and pushing till you hit the wall. It feels great, scary, exciting, fearful and everywhere inbetween.

I would say two of the most common I see being done are doing squats or lunges with your knees extending over the toe....

Learn to sit back when you squat....like sitting on the toilet....

For a lifter, 1 gram per lb of BW per day is the norm and a good rule of thumb. I prefer either monster or muscle milk. There are far "better" proteins out there with less sugars and such in them but IDGAF....I've never trained to look pretty and I'd prefer my shakes to taste great.

I had a video one time of a woman I saw at a meet deadlifting 405 (I think). It was one of the greatest lifts I've ever seen. I'll see if I can find it. When she had the weight just above her knees she actually puked, and kept pulling, and eventually locked the weight out.

You will learn in time where to draw the line...

I make my own depending if it is a workout shake or to be used as a meal replacement. Both have different profiles. As stated using the 1 gr per lb body weight or perhaps as much as 1.5 g is a good place to be. To keep it simple calculate it into your daily macro's.

For example if you weigh 200lbs and are shooting for 1g per lb would be 200 g divide this by your meals (5-6) we'll use 6 so each meal would be around 33 g protein, in this case a shake being a meal.

I love optimum nutrition.

Generally when choosing a protein powder Whey Protein Isolates are said to be the best, so get one with whey protein and no other added ingredients. The whey isolates are the most useful and expensive ingredient, everything else is pretty much label decorations. BCAA's are naturally occurring in whey protein so there's no need for added doses with a protein shake. Other added ingredients are sometimes other protein sources which are not desirable, creatine monohydrate which you can buy dirt cheap and sometimes added sugars as well as who know's what. You're paying for protein so that's what you should be buying.

I have a huge 5lb jug of Optimum Nutrition Whey it is pretty good. I use it in these shakes/smoothies I make. Add a scoop of the powder, 1 cup skim milk, 1 banana, 1 cup strawberries and a tablespoon on natural peanut butter.
