I suggest you ...

Include an ASK THE TRAINER section where users can ask the trainer specific questions

This section would be good for people who have difficulties understanding the process or who have questions about their training, nutrition, and so forth. If you're going to make it good, you might as well make it great.

        I am trying to build muscle and be strong what is the optimum number of times each week to work out a particular muscle group? I see a lot of info saying 1 day is best and a lot saying 2 days is best and some that say 3 days. I see on the Hardcore program for men muscle groups are worked out 3 times a week. Can you give me some insight on this? Thank you

        hi peeps. kinda new to serious training and lookin at some of the work outs on here they dont state a good starting weight to do the sets / reps with? im not sure wether to start with max weight (100%) so i can only do the required reps (e.g. 6) or start lower and do the increasing reps stated (e.g. 6-10-12) ?

        I don't know the percentage of body fat that I have, so for the meal planner it asks this. How do I figure that out? Or is there a calculator that you can plug in to the website to figure this out? I think is pretty important.

        Jeff,
        If your looking for Hard gaining keep the reps low and the weight high. Deadlifts, Squats, Bench are a must as these exercises are the foundation of strength movements. The goal is to EAT and additionally you should consider taking supplements as well if you are gonna give your training a facelift. Protein is a MUST before and after workouts. 20-30 grams is needed. If you want to kick up your pre -workout snack, also include some BCAA'a and Beta Alanine.

        hi i just had a quick question. iv just kinda noticed that in alot of fitness pics, some men have a flatter chest and some have a more round bulging chest. do these people do certain exercises to get this way or is it just genes and u gotta hope that u get the way u want.

        I'm having trouble with sticking at certain wieghts on the bench press. I'm able to get to a new max wieght then I start to get stuck within 30 pounds for the next week or so. How can I break through this?

        Hello, I'm about to embark on the intermediate muscle gain program that your website offers. Although I'm happy about the instructions you provide for each exercise, I'm not sure about how much weight to use? Can you assist me with this or direct me to the section that explains this? Thank you!

        Great idea Desmond.
        Got a question for you Mike. What should the timing on the pre-workout meal be, right before, 20 minutes, longer? I'm assuming the post-workout is for right after you're done.

        In the beginner muscle gain workout, month 1, on the Front to Back lunge exercise, does each lunge in the front and back direction count as one rep each for a total of two reps, or does doing both constitute one rep?
