Damn, you sound like a walking textbook


JonYeap did a single arm deadlift to boast to his friends that I believe were doubting his ability to do so. I personally have done a single arm/leg romanian deadlift with a dumb bell. It is an unusual movement to the body which requires a significant amount of stability. JonYeap did a single arm deadlift with a barbell right? Well use a dumbbell next time. To say that a deadlift is a dangerous form of exercise, well maybe it is if you don't know how to do it right, then there is an exception. A deadlift might be complex to certain trainees, therefore a dumbbell deadlift might just raise an eyebrow, thats all. Cross Sectional build of your core, that is so complex but it sounds so cool . Nevertheless, training your core will reduce your chances of sports specific injuries. Reduce, not completely eliminate.

People that train for powerlifting, barely if ever use single-arm deadlifts. They may use single limb leg work to decrease the load on their spine while increasing work load on the legs.

Single arm work, is mostly used for athletes that require a lot of unilateral movement such as speed skaters, discus throwers, javelin throwers, sprinters. They require the single arm coordination to be able to throw their power from the base (legs) to the final extension (arm)

Deadlifts to any healthy individual should usually not be dangerous, unless a form breakdown on essential portions of the body happen (eg:lumbar)

On that note, I'm thinking about bringing a TRXsuspension system since there's a lot of people out there that want to workout but don't have a gym or can't find time to go. What do you guys think about it? Think it'll sell?

TRX would be a good and worthwhile equipment. But the price is a little steep but if you look at it on a long term basis...it wouldn't hurt much. RM700-RM800. Any takers? Might get it cheaper if PB could get more of you blokes on the list.

who the hell is that sohai.. haha
jon, im gary

im zaxx. btw is there anyone here training like two times a day? cuz i got a friend who did that.

pizzaboy does, I think.

really. izzit good or not?

I think you'll sell more power racks. Those available at Fitness Concept are overfeatured and therefore too expensive.

hahaha that sohai la. =.=
who else... kaka... always come in look at the mirror...
u sendiri tau la. kaka...

WOAH! 150USD!!

How about the USA? LOL!

I assume hanging the legs off it might be a little more uncomfortable compared to the TRX.

And I wonder if you could order something similar in China. I mean, it's not exactly something that really requires a lot of technology to manufacture. As a poor Msian, I feel RM500+ for strap is a little expensive.

Or perhaps gymnastic rings too?

Yeah I train twice a day. It's good in the sense it allows me to peak my testosterone level twice in a day, instead of having one session where I have to rush. Also it allows me to stay fresher provided I have enough sleep. I've not heard of this method being used to build muscle though. I'd imagine it be counter-productive to muscle growth, as muscles require between 24-48 hours of rest to grow and have sufficient protein and calories. Training twice a day, would require you to probably move beyond 5000 calories a day for growth. Even that I'm not sure if you can recover in time because of the longer period of time required between for synthesis.
I do this because my only concern is getting stronger and faster. Moving fresh and fast, allows my muscles to be very explosive and ensures I have a good bulk of fast twitch muscle fibers. Also I give sports massages and I know how to work with my trigger points and tightness as well as increase blood flow, so in that sense, I'm able to incorporate this.

One day I think I wanna get my test levels checked. Wonder how many mmols/g I have

I'll try seeing if my friend can get it cheaper from the USA. Just met him. He goes between US and Singapore monthly. If he can get it for cheaper, I'll spread the savings to the fine fellows here. Actually, I was just thinking about TRX. Can get other stuff such as gymnastic rings and bands too.

Honestly speaking, I used to think the TRX was crap. I mean, rings are better in almost every way. There was however, one small difference. The TRX was useful for those that NEEDED the convenience and portability. One TRX+bands+chains=can workout anywhere.

Oh and I still kicked TRX'S ass. Duno lah....see maybe get something else lah from US like training DVD'S or training texts. I'm thinking about getting some books by Tudor Bompa and Paul Chek (Yeah I hate him, but I can still learn frm him)
