BODY TYPE
My body type per 12 years of bodybuilding experience:
ENDO-ECTOIC MESOMORPH
Training Intensity: Mesomorph
>>Intense (meso)
>>Heavy (meso)
>>More than one time training per day increases results, with appropriate increase in food intake (meso)
Training Length: Mesomorph
>>Several hours at high intensity and not overtrain
Training Reps/Set: Mesomorph/Ectomorph
Combination:
>>High reps means no gain (meso)
>>Less than 6 reps increases strength but not size (meso, ecto)
>>Ideal of 6-8 reps for size (meso, ecto)
>>Numerous sets (meso)
Rest between sets: Mesomorph
>>Normal rest period (meso)
>>Not short rests like for an endo
Diet: Mesomorph/Ectomorph/Endomorph
Combination:
>>Balanced diet, feed muscles (meso)
>>Massive amount of food (ecto)
>>Minimum calories/fat/sugar, else high fat gain (endo)
>>One meal per day replaced with a high protein shake and a small amount of carbs causes decrease in bodyfat and increase in fitness results (endo)
Supplementation: Mesomorph
Combination
>>Not necessary but increases results (meso)
>>High BCAA's (all)
>>Due to naturally high testosterone, testosterone supplements provide little to no improvements in results (meso)
>>Vitamins are essential (all)
>>Lactic acid suppressive/reductive supplements provide best results - muscles never fatigue within less than 4 consecutive hours of intense training [i.e. beta alanine] (meso)
Sleep: Endomorph
>>Full 8 hours needed, even 10 hours with heavy training
Cardio: Ectomorph/Endomorph
>>As little as possible, preferrably none (ecto)
>>Regular cardio will decrease gym results but have little impact on bodyfat percentage - bodyfat can only be decreased through diet (endo)
>>do NOT focus to increase metabolism because it is not necessary (ecto, meso)

What is the most dangerous weightlifting exercise? Why?
In my opinion, it is a tie between throwing up a bar during a BB curl (horrible form), because you risk any or all of the following: herniated/dislocated/ruptured disc, nerve damage, bicep tear, shoulder tear, rotator cuff injury (i.e. tear), dislocated joints, pulled muscle(s), broken toes, neck injury (subsequent brain damage), wrist injury, paralysis, heart attack/stroke/death (followed by one of the previous injuries), smashed toes, broken kneecap(s), brain hemorrhage (followed shortly by death)... etc.
and a tie between bouncing the bar off the chest during a bench press, which could lead to any or all of the following: cracked sternum, smashed face (followed by death), heart attack, chest tear, tricep tear, dislocated shoulder, torn rotator cuff, stroke, crushed lungs, smashed esophagus, broken collar bone, dislocated vertebrate, herniated disc, paralysis, brain hemorrhage; also broken rib(s), leading to the following: ruptured lung(s), ruptured spleen, punctured liver, punctured heart, asphyxiation, and ultimately death.
I'm sure there are more risks of injury, but I think any one of the above is worth never taking the risk to bounce the bar off the chest or throw the weight again to get that bicep rep in.In my opinion, it is a tie between throwing up a bar during a BB curl (horrible form), because you risk any or all of the following: herniated/dislocated/ruptured disc, nerve damage, bicep tear, shoul...more
