Also, I across the board like to cook my eggs/whites, chicken, sauteed veggies or whatever in olive oil rather than some BS non-stick spray. Even half a tbsp is that much less you gotta take straight! Hey now, some of us are 180lb weaklings and just discovered that, with proper form, we actually can deadlift a lot more than 220lbs.

“If Ferruggia would stop being so English he’d know this.”

That’s hilarious.

To get massive amounts of calories in, following that rule on an every day basis is very difficult for all but the top 1% of the most dedicated guys. If you have trouble staying lean, however, I would recommend you do your best to keep most meals either high carb or high fat and don't combine the two. At least not too frequently. Matt,

This is something you can do as a beginner but gets harder to do as you get more advanced. I would try losing bodyfat first if you are above 15%, and then packing on some size. If you are lean now, then I would start bulking up and then lose some excess bodyfat afterwards. Juanita,

I have seen a bit of material however saying that for brachiomorphs (people with super long monkey arms like me) that direct arm or leg work is sometimes necessary to REALLY develop the limbs. Do you alter your training programs much to deal with somewhat unusual body part dimensions/lengths? Hey Jason,
