I fell of a bicycle more than you can ever think off, I front flipped on a bicycle from a hill the same height as a petrol station roof and I'm still deadlifting till today. Its probably your technique that is hurting your back.

I said the height of a roof, i'm sorry i couldn't find a way to state it even clearer for you because i assume whatever i said was practically understandable. I used to ride freestyle on MTB.

no its allright. we shouldn't go out of the topic too much, there are people who dislike out of topic posts. hahahah

Lol, I've retired man.

of course you should listen to your doctor. I was just talking about the possibilities thats all

I've driven one and I never like the blind spot and the pointy edges. looks rather primitive. But some people still like the ol'school feeling of a 3 litre,SOHC V6 with a 288bhp, still pretty decent in an overall standpoint. Well it again depends on what kind of machine you'd prefer, if you'd like cars with massive turbos and something balanced in terms of drivetrain , you'd get the evos or sti, or the gtr. But if you are saying that the NSX can beat the new GTR i'll never ever drive a car on a track again.

BUT WAIT ! a new NSX is coming out !

hahaha out of topic again

Yeah, I've only been eating food rations. I should start hunting

I need more meat, there are tons of animals in the forest but most of them aren't that tasty

Yeah Buddy ! Ain't nothing but a peanut ! hahahahah ! I'm mocking

Well ya can't send the whole platoon and war isn't what we only do, people often misinterpret. We are gradually decreasing our troops in Iraq as I speak. I am currently assigned in a temporary office so I have access to the computer and internet. I'll have a gym access from next week onwards because thats when I resume my studies., probably get back to camp only in Dec

LOL, I'll have to take that as a compliment .

@bata

Yeah mate, it peaks up massively when I'm under severe stress like now. haha..

Imagine if I even consider juicing, it'll look terrible.

Probably his point of justification of a person is his physique, fine with me. Lets all move on, hopefully someday i'll return with massive guns and quads that would probably tear my jeans and tees.

I hope you are joking.

I really don't know what are you implying here, if you think that I'm juicing, than you need to re-think because people who juice usually have better physique than mine. Don't have that typical low-life malaysian body-builder mentality. You are probably joking but it just sounds silly to me.



So since when does training is all about physique? Since when training is only about having nice spongy muscles? I appreciate your compliment on me being a knowledgeable soul, however I think you need to change your mentality about the whole "Let The Physique Do The Talking" . Maybe a certain extend you could, you wouldn't want to listen to someone's advice on training if he has papaya tits would you? I was asked to post a progress photo, so I did, maybe I should consider putting on some useful muscle mass and not just be a mirror monkey.


w/r

I honor everyone's honesty, it just got me off tangent when someone said I was on roids ( regardless of the fact that it was a joke ). I just don't like to be called a cheat.

I've even said once if anyone could track my post, " Everyone wants a pat on the back and no criticisms when they post their progress pic/vids ". I just don't happen to fall in that category.

I hope I clear the air, lets move on with our specific goals, after all, regardless of being a powerlifter, bodybuilder or a regular trainee,we are all chasing the demon in ourselves to break our own boundaries of capability.

Im not an ectomorph, thats for sure. This is my POV to become stronger. I always believe that a trainee can never neglect Bodybuilding movements, the rep work etc. I have been neglecting BB work and have been focusing on low rep work which is a bad mistake and I've only recently incorporated BB work in my routine. The basic 3 is also vital, Deadlifts, Squat and Bench. I can't put myself off by saying I'm a bad bench presser, I bench not as heavy as I squat and deadlift and I think this shows that how much bb work that I lack all this while.

Workouts like Cable Rows, Lat Pulldowns, Barbell Rows , Leg Presses and other BB movements should never leave a trainee's list regardless of their goals, strength or physique etc. A strong back will significantly improve your Squats, Bench, and Deadlift. Your leg might be able to handle a 200kg backsquat, but can your back handle the weight? So is deadlift, can you maintain that strong arch when pulling a 180kg for 5 reps for instance. In terms of bench press, can you keep your back arched strong? See how much role does the back plays?

This is how I approach my routine, Low Rep demonstrates strength, High Reps improves strength. This shows that one cannot stick to low reps all the time, maybe once a month to see where you at in terms of strength. Other than that, keep the reps moderately high.

This might be a little long winded for you so I decided to stop here at the moment. Remember, this is my POV on training, and I just realized I've made a huge mistake to ditch BB work so you shouldn't do the same.
