easy on the tuna. I keep saying this but it seems like no one cares.

A better option is mackerel or pacific pilchard. http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~frf/sea-mehg.html

Yes they sell salmon in cans, pilchard in cans (better source than tuna), mackerel in cans, sardine in cans.

DESPITE the mercury is an understatement really. You have to limit them to about 3 cans a week. I can go through about 14 cans a week on a good week, just to put things into perspective. So that's more than 3x if I was taking tuna. I stopped taking fish though, not really a big fan.

you cant absorb ...YET??.. ahhaha.. wow.... maybe when u bodybuild for few years like ur trainer than ur intestine suddenly develops additional absorbing qualities.....

dude.. ON whey.. is a protein suplement.. basically ..its protein..with a couple of added chemicals..... u are a human being...ur entire muscular system is made mainly of proteins.....i hypothesize that u CAN use ON....

the thing your trainer should have mentioned is that ON whey is expensive... and is a meal SUPPLEMENT..... so go ahead and get your daily meals stabilized then use supplements to perfect ur protein intake...

did u sense the bull sheet scent from ur trainer's mouth?

Sorry for the rudeness but i dont like ppl giving false info. Jangan marah arh.

Protein is protein, u eat meat u get protein there is no such thing that u cant absorb protein, if u r into weightlifting, u will need Grams/pound of of ur body weight of protein intake and to gain weight ofcoz ur calories intake needs to be taken care of. (Basically ur diet)

ON protein is no magical although some of the protein may say sumthing like giving u ultimate super power muscle gain, actually eatting meat or eggs can give u the same result. Supplement just a easier way to have protein intake and as well as for its convenient.

Again i apologize for any area that i have offended u.

On a side note, some time ago recently I said my arms grew from 13" to 13.75" in half a year or something like that and I was aiming for 2" growth in 2 yrs. Well, I think now it has been around 8-9 months, measured today and my arms half pumped are 14.75". thumbup.gif

Huhu, aim for 18" brows.gif

Yep, when I grow, certain places are harder to reach, twist and turn. But it should all be fixed with stretching movements in the long run, only I'm too lazy to do them. It most prolly would be water lol, still on creatine. I'll measure again soon. hmm.gif

what's wrong with romanian deads/SLDL ? Note SLDL is not exactly stiff legged all the way, there is some give around the knee area.

Please refer instructional videos before attempting http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=112127931

Also, dynamic stretches would help.

i think what your trainer meant is that you already eat enough protein and if you take extra then it will be used for energy or stored as fat rather than building muscle.

Solid wheels...but in my opinion, your legs are so much bigger than your torso, but you get the credit for training your legs very hard...I can't train my legs that well.

Do you have problems finding a pair of jeans to wear? My thighs are not big but after started squatting I couldn't wear jeans anymore and I had to turn to khaki pants.

yes, you are right. i once train my legs 2x per week because i thought they are my weak parts. turn out i was wrong...loll
my chest and back are my weak part, hence my torso look damn slim...lol

Dude,

I can't actually interpret what you were saying but I'm assuming you are saying that its pointless to lift heavy in the gym.

Stop being an irritating physique junkie. Just because we aren't mirror monkeys, that doesn't mean we don't bust our bums real hard.

You will then come up with the corny line " It doesnt matter how much you lift, how much you look like you can lift " rubbish.

Jesus, take it easy man.......

dude, thats some massive mass you've put on..
I sure hope there's some reasonable amount of muscle beneath all that.

Its time to start cutting, You current state does not look healthy at all.

however you'd make 1 hell of a scary bouncer!

he's saying "outside" people cant really differ muscle mass than fat mass, they will think physique like angrydog also fat.

What Im trying to say is.... Its pointless if you wanna grow big without a lil of muscle definition, BIG is not an issure for most of use here.... I can just sit eat and train to be at 90kg... Do you want ppl to ask "which gym do you go" or do you have to tell ppl that "i go to the gym"

if you're big and well defined (low bf in alan's case), ppl will straightly ask him, "which gym do you go ??" ... means that ppl will and easily notice that you're hitting the gym without you say a word about it...

but, if you're just big and a bit muscular (maybe like alan's physique now), ppl will not easily notice (hard to tell) wether you're hitting the gym or just naturally/genetically big and muscular...so, you might have to tell ppl that you're actually working out in a gym...lifting those irons...

it's all about telling your passion in bodybuilding via your physiques...no need to talk and spread around the story of how you work you ass out in a gym...

Well, you guys won't believe it, but I had this very famous Malay BB champion who later did adverts for Shelltox in my apartment once when I was 19. I can't recall his name. You have heard of him. Household name.

With a T-shirt on, he simply looked fat. Like bloated.

No, not Said Fazli. I can't remember his name. This guy is long retired from BB. I'm not sure though, because I do not own a TV, avoid watching TV and avoid reading Malaysian newspapers.


Added on August 2, 2009, 9:42 pmHe had this very wholesome image. When I talked to him in my student apartment, I realised why. He is a nice guy, and unaffected by his celebrity status.

why not? he was a national athlete.

How many commercials have you seen with singers and actors in it? Too many ads in todays media use these celebrities to carry brands.

As usual, Malaysia does not know how to appreciate its sportsman and sportswomen.

If you see overseas ads, many feature sports figures; ranging from clothing lines, soaps brands, shampoos, to pretty much anything under the sun.

we should be proud that our fellow BBers get such acknowledgement and recognition.

QUOTE
Gynecomastia, pronounced /ˌɡaɪnɨkɵˈmæstiə/, is the development of abnormally large mammary glands in males resulting in breast enlargement. The term comes from the Greek γυνή gyne (stem gynaik-) meaning "woman" and μαστός mastos meaning "breast". The condition can occur physiologically in neonates (due to female hormones from the mother; this is called witches' milk), in adolescence, and in the elderly. In adolescent boys the condition is often a source of distress, but for the large majority of boys whose pubescent gynecomastia is not due to obesity, the breast development shrinks or disappears within a couple of years.[1] The causes of common gynecomastia remain uncertain, although it has generally been attributed to an imbalance of sex hormones or the tissue responsiveness to them; a root cause is rarely determined for individual cases. Breast prominence can result from hypertrophy of breast tissue, chest adipose tissue and skin, and is typically a combination. Breast prominence due solely to excessive adipose is often termed pseudogynecomastia[2] or sometimes lipomastia.[3]

Gynecomastia should be distinguished from work hypertrophy of the pectoralis muscles caused by exercise, e.g. swimming, bench press.

Types of Gynecomastia
There are multiple manifestations of gynecomastia. The following types have the same basic features of gynecomastia in common, namely, hypertrophy of the male breast glandular tissue, but vary in size, shape, and the extent to which they are intermixed with adipose and fibrous tissue.

Puffy Nipples [1] is among the most common forms of gynecomastia. This glandular tissue accumulation is concentrated under and typically confined to the areola, or can be slightly extended outside the areola forming a dome shaped appearance to the areola.

Pure Glandular (Bodybuilders) [2] Gynecomastia in bodybuilders may be a result of the use of anabolic steroids. Due to their low level of body fat, bodybuilders and other athletes are sometimes afflicted with gynecomastia in its purest form. Gynecomastia in lean men is usually only a breast tissue gland with little to no adipose tissue. Proper treatment of pure gynecomastia can be done only by excision of the breast tissue, which in the case of bodybuilders is by itself sufficient to achieve a flat nipple-areola complex. Liposuction is only rarely necessary.


Adolescent [3] Congenital or Hereditary Gynecomastia is typically evident by the ages of 9 to 14 in boys. Thirty percent to sixty percent of young boys suffer from large male breasts. As many as thirty percent may live with enlarged male breasts for the rest of their lives, but in other cases the gynecomastia will recede with age. However, severe forms of adolescent gynecomastia may require an intervention, in consultation with the patient, the parents, and child development professionals.

Adult [4] The most common form of gynecomastia. Gynecomastia in most adults is composed of glandular tissue but may contain varying quantities of adipose and fibrous tissue.

Pseudogynecomastia [5] is composed not of glandular tissue, but of adipose tissue. It looks much like real gynecomastia but requires different treatment. Exercise and diet may be effective in combating pseudogynecomastia. Only if this regimen is unsuccessful should surgery be considered. This is generally the only type of gynecomastia which can be improved with liposuction, but excision may be indicated in some cases.

Asymmetric/Unilateral [6] Unilateral gynecomastia occurs when only one breast is larger due to gynecomastia, the other breast is typically normal in both size and shape. Bilateral Asymmetry occurs when gynecomastia is present in both breasts, each to a different degree.

Severe Gynecomastia [7] is characterized by excess and/or saggy skin and severely enlaged breasts . This is itself determined in part by age, as older persons suffering from gynecomastia tend to have less skin elasticity and thus will have a greater abundance of excess skin related to gynecomastia. Experienced plastic surgeons will perform as much of the surgical treatment of severe gynecomastia as possible through an aereolar incision so as to avoid extensive scarring. However, some scarring may be unavoidable when treating extreme cases of gynecomastia

Treatment

Treating the underlying cause of the gynecomastia may lead to improvement in the condition. Patients should talk with their doctor about revising any medications,such as risperdal, that are found to be causing gynecomastia; often, an alternative medication can be found that avoids gynecomastia side-effects, while still treating the primary condition for which the original medication was found not to be suitable due to causing gynecomastia side-effects (e.g., in place of taking spironolactone the alternative eplerenone can be used.) Selective estrogen receptor modulator medications, such as tamoxifen and clomiphene, or androgens (typically bio-identical testosterone) or aromatase inhibitors such as Letrozole are medical treatment options, although they are not universally approved for the treatment of gynecomastia. Endocrinological attention may help during the first 2–3 years. After that window, however, the breast tissue tends to remain and harden, leaving surgery (either liposuction, gland excision, skin sculpture, reduction mammoplasty, or a combination of these surgical techniques) the only treatment option. Many American insurance companies deny coverage for surgery for gynecomastia treatment on the grounds that it is a cosmetic procedure. Radiation therapy is sometimes used to prevent gynecomastia in patients with prostate cancer prior to estrogen therapy. Compression garments can camouflage chest deformity and stabilize bouncing tissue bringing emotional relief to some. There are also those who choose to live with the condition.

You know, I never realized that gynecomastia could only occur on one pectoral and not the other. Huh.

You sure it's gynecomastia? Coz gynecomastia will look like a real boob which hangs or puffy nipples. I think it's a congenital defect of the pectoralis major muscle since it looks solid and arising from the muscle.

Anyway, has anyone here experienced pain and the small joints on the fingers, wrist and knee? There was tenderness and reddnening of the 4th proximal interphalangeal joint of my left hand 2 days ago, which subsided 1 day ago and today there's tenderness on the left 1st interphalangeal joint of my left hand and left knee. I have been having on and off tenderness and reddening of my left and right 1st interphalangeal joint for the past 3 years which always subside after an acute episode of pain lasting for 1 to 2 days without medication. There's restriction of mobility of the joint during the episode. There's no deformity of the hand and feet joints.

Could it be gout?

because estrogen inhibitors like arimidex (rm600 per box) cannot reverse the effects
tamoxifen (nolvadex) and clomid are not inhibitors but estrogen blockers
normally, the 2 are used when gyno is detected during steroids cycles
ala, diorang nak pakai steroids, tapi tak PCT and tak buat trial and error tu yang dapat gyno
its really ugly...
and kalau takut pakai esters, pakai la testosterone and equipoise (e.g. boldenone)
these have less or no androgenic effects

Well if that is the case, then it's the first time I've seen such a pointy male breast on a ripped person.

Any pictures of him in the previous competitions? Does he have that distorted left chest in his previous pictures as well? Because common sense is telling me that I won't be going on stage if I have gynecomastia unless it's a congenital deformity which has been there since birth and can't be corrected.

apart from the tenderness and reddening, do you feel hot on the area ?? but then, gout rarely healed itself...either you take the roids injections or ibuprofen...and you have to take alupurinol for the rest of your life...and gout is a kind of arthritis...

why allopurinol?

wouldn't you take probenecid because allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibtor and only 10% of the patients are 'overproducting" uric acid. The remaining 90% would benefit from probenecid.

See a doctor to assess whether it's gout. Unlikely that you have it so young unless you're genetically predisposed to it.

Ya I always wanted to see a doctor but by the time I want to go to a doctor the swelling and redness all subsided and there's nothing to show.

Like now, the pain and redness have already subsided.

I see it now, probenecid is not without side effects, so allopurinol is preferred as first line.

Florian you have huge arms and shoulders. Nice rclxms.gif

Btw, when you put on a tight shirt, is your nipple-shape visible from the outside?

I have a pointy chest and that's what happens when I put on a shirt tighter than normal. sad.gif
Anyone here like that?

No need tight shirt, normal XL T shirt also can see. Maybe it's because I'm fat. I don't remember having that problem 4 years ago when I was like 59kg. Need to lose that fat but how??? I only know how to bulk. But beneath my nipple is just soft and when I squeeze it it's nothing inside and I can feel the chest muscle right beneath it, so I'm confused whether it's gynecomastia or not coz in gynecomastia underneath the nipple will have a round mass inside. I'm pretty upset with it.

I've only been doing side DB shrugs for the past 3+ years on shoulder and/or chest days. Now I just started to change it to back DB shrugs because my gym has only 50lbs DBs and I need a burn on my traps. Need to hold long for shrugs. A lot of people doing it wrongly by doing it fast and rotating the shoulder while shruging. For shrugs just lift your shoulders hold, then slowly go down, like when you're doing "I don't know" sign.

puffy nipples also a sign of gyno, no need steroid use also can cause gyno, from foods, from increase of BF level also.

Yeah, my neck was awkwardly long before I started training. It looked like those ladies in Chiangmai with those rings on their neck. Maybe my trapezius muscle has a higher attachment.

ON & Scivation Whey was ok ... minimal to moderate heatyness..
and the results was also . ok ok only..
But for Nitrotech.. .. that 3 months brought me into another level.. and also gained 5kg+ ..
but.. the heatyness ... need not to mention... its hardcore as well.. hehe..

so i've stopped taking whey powders for a month.. and only rely to
milks.chicken breast.eggs.. diet also back to normal.. but of cos avoids pork fats/fats..
... for now. will be taking in 1 can tuna + 1/2 pack HL milk for post workout..

if you look properly.. Blue Bay Shredded Tuna has 27g protein per 100g serving. 1 can is 170g.
seems like incorrect info on d label.. sad.gif

Whether a shirt is overtight or overloose, the same problem happens. I've been hitting my upper chest a lot so as to make those nipples less visible in a tight shirt lol.

More like "6 ways to have better SEX!', and the next month "Better SEX in SIX days!", the next month "Have a 6-pack and better SEX!"

Flex is more to professional BB with lots of info about Pro BBing events, which I don't really understand.

I like the research and nutrition segment of MM and M&F, but MM's content is less compared to M&F. Where do you guys get the mags? I don't trust in subscribing coz my mom's Feng Shui mags and my dad's scuba diving mags always get missing in the mail. Popular doesn't always have MM and M&F and I missed a lot of issues earlier this month and I complained to the Popular person and still after 3 months still no mags. Then finally last month I found 1 copy of MM in the magazine section, but no M&F. Then this month there's only 1 copy of M&F but no MM.

The only mag they have in stacks on the shelves is that homo mag Exercise/Men's workout, with nothing but ripped people in tights posing for different exercises and nothing else, oh and Men's Health.

Might as well get playboy mags and jerk off. Its much more worth it. Biceps will always be biceps, manipulating an image in a playboy mag could work wonders.

Where to get playboy mag in malaysia? drool.gif drool.gif

By the way, sometime the mag may tell u something that might not be true, like... u should take 1.5g of protein to ur bodyweight in pound, u should take at least 3500cals to gain build muscle mass and etc, wat i do owas is standing there reading free mag (like a cheapskate old junk) then aft reading jus put it back tongue.gif and somehow i found out the advertisement inside is occupying at least 50% of the mag dry.gif

Magazines are the last place to look for reliable/credible informations. They are backed up by the manufacturers of a particular product itself. If over-vascularized guys turn you on, then you should get it.


I used to have a playboy mag supplier in MY. In AU, you could get them at the bookstore tongue.gif

Try shrugging using the smith at first and once you have the movement then go free-weight.

324lbs is a good figure to begin with. How much did you weigh before cutting? I think you should just give it a few more sessions, and you'll see 324lbs back kicking again or maybe even more. How do you go about deloads? What I would do if I were you is to put on some variations of dealifts. Perhaps do a platform pull next session for more hip drives. Oh by the way before I continue crapping, is 324 your 1RM or your 5RM?

Looks quite strange indeed. Not necessarily imbalance, maybe you're just used to 'pushing' up your shoulder blade on that side? I myself had similar issues until I checked in the mirror, have to learn to identify and control the muscles to get a symmetrical look. sweat.gif

My guess is you're just not flexing properly. Practice flexing a bit more and you should be able to make it look right.

haha... errr i dunno consider suitcase style or front.
coz its in between.
problem is balancing it when i let it down.
i ask 2 frens standing at the side just incase one side lopsided and going to fumble.
but didnt need their help also coz i manage to balance it.
i wish there is smaller bars coz the olympic bars too long and hard to balance. =.=
i think if there is a smaller bar, could have done much more.
is there any bar half the length of the olympic size bar?

Got. Exactly similar to oly bar with the 50mm collars, except that it's way shorter.
Seen it in FF leisure mall when I used to exercise there.

As iamyuanwu said, in FF there is a bar that is similar to the olympic bar, but it is half in length, it weighs 10kg by itself.

If you're gonna do one handed lifts you might want to start with that, it allows you use higher weights because there is less demand on your core to stabilise it.

But holy s*** 100kg+ single handed deadlift.

Not hating or anything, but did you keep your back in a proper position? Just saying, always make sure your back is in proper position and don't round your back, otherwise it could cause trouble. Again, congratulations!

hey guys , newbie here

im currently doing 25 kg dumbbell press per arm.
however i have never done a barbell bench press before.
i was wondering, if 25 kg per arm, does that translate to 50kg barbell bench press or does it work differently.

Sorry if this question has been asked before

hey guys , newbie here

im currently doing 25 kg dumbbell press per arm.
however i have never done a barbell bench press before.
i was wondering, if 25 kg per arm, does that translate to 50kg barbell bench press or does it work differently.

Sorry if this question has been asked before

You will most likely be able to do MORE than 50kg.

Dumbbell Bench Press requires equal force exerted from both hands, but if one hand is stronger than another (and usually it is), you will be able to lift more when using Barbells.

Also, dumbbells place more stress on the core in order to balance the weight, thus reducing the weight you can use.

Most likely, you will be able to use more with a barbell.

wow...25kg per arm is great...keep it up...as for the benches, there's no math for workout like that...because you will involve different parts of bodypart for different workout...maybe you can do more or maybe less...just play safe, start with 40kg 1st...

good luck bro...

thnx for the replies,

reason why i asked was because, i got a feeling im reaching a plateau soon
so when the time comes, i hope a switch in workout might help break it.

been working out since early jan this year, newbie gains coming to an end?

I think the best thing for you would be to get on the Rippetoes program, it is perfect for beginners who want to maximise their newbie gains. Hell I used it after 1.5 years of lifting, and I got the best gains of my life, putting on 10kg in 3 months.

How's your diet like

yea, ive started about 50kg (165cm) ecto .2nd week jan ( i remember i could barely lift a 7.5kg dumbbell) . flashforward till today, about 65kg+/-1kg. aiming for 69. then thinking of cutting some body fat and switching to strength training instead.

Typical Diet

Morning (watever time i get up )
1 apple, yogurt, 2/3 eggs, protein shake(with milk)

mid morning (during classes)
uncle toby yogurt bars or chewy bars

lunch
whatever me n my mates choose to eat ( for sure extra meat )

Workout

Postworkout -
1 protein shake
whatever is in my uni cafeteria which i can afford ( or head home and open a can of tuna or 2 and some fruits)

Dinner
typically, 300g chicken breast/beef, 1 cup rice, 2 eggs

Supper,
just yogurt(cant get enuff of it) and protein shake(with milk)
sometimes 1 murtabak here and there but not too often to be considered typical diet

its been working considerably well , except for during examination and assignment periods where typical weight loss occurs due to lack of food or should i say lack of time to eat. but im alrite with it, not too hardcore. smile.gif

Diet seems fine, though you should add in protein to your mid morning snack. I'm a university student as well, I usually pack some chicken steak. It's actually pre-cooked, and you can get it from carrefour, so in the morning just heat it up in the microwave and eat later. It still tastes decent even when I eat it around 5pm.

Just curious, where do you workout at?

I must ask, why is it dangerous?
The mechanics of a single-arm deadlift is slightly different, true, but as long as the basics are kept tight, I see minimal problems with doing 1 arm deadlifts.
The imbalanced nature of a single arm deadlift, also makes it an amazingly good stability exercise and will tax the cross sectional build of your core which is great.

maybe it is not to you...normal deadlifts have a negative connotation because if not done properly it can lead to injury. However, if any exercise is done without the proper attention to technique, injury is also inevitable...let alone single arm...

am just giving advice...JonYeap wasn't training for PL...

Damn, you sound like a walking textbook icon_idea.gif icon_idea.gif icon_idea.gif


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 cool2.gif . 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.

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. cry.gif

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.

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. cry.gif

Or perhaps gymnastic rings 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. tongue.gif 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)

Did gymnastics from age 7-12, along with loads of other sports. Basketball, football, badminton, atheletics, tennis, squash, etc. xD

My foundation was definitely built from the gymnastics.

F'in bullshit crap. THIS is more than a 300kg leg press:-



zeist should know that an e-stat is not a stat unless a valid video is posted especially given the fact that his claims are outrageous.

Not all the time but coincidentally when I feel like taking a pic there's a cap on.
I went on an FST program for a few months, then switched to light weight high rep training. Still on it atm. For example, incline bench would be 95kg x 15 reps for 4 sets. The new growth surge and pump I get is amazing. I think that contributed to my extra growth. I needed to give joints and ligaments a rest since my right shoulder is giving way.

Hah, I wasn't condoning dogpiling specific posters until they stopped coming to the H&F forum, I just noticed that it seems to happen a lot. I've been all right--could be better, could be worse.

No worries about the number--given that the last time I talked to you was, what, over a year ago?--it's no surprise I've lost your number as well.

I'm surprised that so many gyms here apparently let people into the weight room without a shirt on, what with the potential problems with sweaty benches and all.

I usually just take off shirt for pic wor... Not really working out without shirt. Plus, usually do that when all the others left (my company's gym closed at 7) and the trainer usually wont mind me hanging out late. Hehe.

My normal incline is 275 pounds for 8 reps, but now it's 15 reps per set obviously i would need to reduce. =)

Guys, I feel that my arms are getting fuller. There's like more density in em but when measured, they're the same as before.

Is it just in my mind or is there an explanation for this?  smile.gif

70kg is not too bad.
how many reps?
my bench press sucks big time compared to deadlift, rows, press or squats.
i cant even bench press 90kg properly. haiz... i wish to hit 100kg end of this year
but dang... TENDONITIS screw my progress...
*
tak sampai 70kg's dude
25kg's per sides = 50kg's
the bar i think around 12kg's je cuz its not the oly bar
smile.gif

actually, i hate barbell bb's cuz for most of my exercise except for back and legs, i love dumbbells
tongue.gif

and i used to have tendonitis bro, tapi if u throw away ur ego and rest in between workouts and use lighter weights, it'll heal
and use counter pain like sloan's analgesic during workouts
it'll do wonders

You're so wrong. Bob Chick (IFBB Pro) himself said that genetics play 97% role in elite bodybuilding competitions. You can't make a pitbull out of a chihuahua no matter how much you buff up that chihuahua correct? Everything else is secondary. Elite bodybuilders are born, not made. Terry even said so, Kmaru will agree with me I'm pretty sure.

I know a guy here, natural, eats just twice a day and has donuts for breakfast and he benches 100kgs for warm ups for 20 reps and benches 4 big plates a side for work sets of 6-8. That is almost what i deadlift. Genetics mate.

I'm just so jealous when I see him bench. Lol. I train with him sometimes and no way i can keep up with that guy. His bench press workout consists of 20 sets. This was exactly what the psycho did:-

225lbs x 15
225lbs x 15
225lbs x 20
315lbs x 10
405lbs x 6
405lbs x 6
405lbs x 6
315lbs x 18

And the rest of the sets are cool downs of 225lbs. I mean.... wtf?! JonYeap has seen this guy in person.

Not really. We who are of average genetics and natural can still achieve an impressive level of physical development. I don't have to wear sleeveless anymore for people to know I bodybuild. Don't get disheartened by all that. It's no excuse to stop training. =) BB for life!

His 2 meals are huge. Really huge. Basically he fulfills his caloric requirements with those 2 meals. The donuts are taken in the morning for energy. Lol.

So yes, genetics largely explain the extreme differences between individual bodybuilders. What they DON'T explain is: What's up with Jay Cutler's fruity little haircut?

Genetics' is a bit!ch!
No matter wat we do, there is always a limit for us.
Be it juicing or wat, there is no way we can beat genetics.
for example, i give u all the juice u wanna take, and also give u the best workout exercise and just do wat u need to... u can never be like ronnie coleman. haha... thats how life is... genetics sucks... we asian are considered one of the smaller one's. no doubt bout that... haha...
but we can get the best out of ourself through working hard and doing wats right... BB for life... haha...

There're quite a few ectos in competitive BB'ing I think. But the top elite, most likely not.

Not a big fan of supplements but I'm currently using Scivation Whey and UN Creatine. I try my best to keep my meals clean but it doesn't happen all the time haha. Will keep on lifting!

@jonyeap
10x10 = 10 sets of 10 reps with only 30 secs rest in between each set. Use weights which you can normally lift for about 20 times before reaching failure and use those weights for the 10x10. Superb intensity. Great pump too haha rclxms.gif

There are wayyyy too many variables in play to draw that conclusion.

Also: Go by the mirror, rather than the measuring tape.

What I heard is hit the traps with more volume (heavy weights goes without saying).
More sets and/or more reps.

lol, deadlift do trained trap, but i think row is very minimal

for better trap, try doing upright row or power clean

http://stronglifts.com/the-ultimate-beginn...o-power-cleans/

if you have a strap, you can go with very heavy shrug with barbell or dumbell lo.

but the above i listed i have'nt done before lol, i mainly focus on 5big compound

I've tried doing power cleans. And my wrist gets real hurt. and I'm afraid to slam the barbell on my upper chest bone. furthermore, my gym dont have padded floor.

so, I will do shrug with heavy weight. and more than 10 reps. 10 to 12 reps. Hope my traps will grow biggrin.gif

Heavy shrugging is the way to go to build traps.

You should mix it up between using dumbbells and barbells.

With dumbbells - the range of motion for your traps is larger, you can even do one side at a time. But you will be using less weight.

With barbells, this is when it's time to go heavy. The best exercise would be shrugging while holding the barbell behind your back.

All the best.

yeah...physically that's correct...but for the upper part of trapezius, if you can commit to shrugs and cable upright only, you still can achieve those monstrous kinda traps...

Plain Smith machine or dumbell shrugs, 15-20 reps for 3-4 sets. Heavy as possible, but with good form, don't turn it into a mini clean.

Like seriously I was chatting with a female LYN member on msn and she says that he's so annoying. I can't believe he posted a squat video at Kopitiam showing atrocious form. The amount of bashing he got, he took it down in such a hurry. Lol. Guess he didn't get the responses he'd hoped for.

LoL. Perhaps he was under the impression that Kopitiam has credible trainees to critic his Squat. Fresh trainees have the mentality of posting their videos to receive a pat on the back but not open to any form of critics at all and if they do receive, they start becoming defensive.

No one here is probably good enough for him since he is probably leg pressing 290kg easy breezy cool2.gif .

Bro, the gym's smith machine, you stand facing the mirror or away the mirror? Because of the angle of that smith machine, doing anything with it feels weird, especially SM shrugs. Need to ramp up the weight, 50lbs DB shrugs for 20 reps isn't making my traps pop anymore.

What I disliked is how he kept spewing venom at random people minding their own business at the gym. My beef had nothing to do with the fact that he wasn't very big/lifting very little; I would've called him a douche even if he'd been some gigantic Ronnie Coleman clone.

Those people are stupid. Every pro and amateur bb'er will tell you that machines and free weights both are tools as a means to an end. Not the end itself.

i never never allow the muscle to get used with either free weights or machines
every 2-3 weeks i will sure alternate although certain things like legs i still do much of the same thing except i either up the poundages or sets cuz legs are my greatest assets

hey darkie just wanna know, whats ur normal routine for back?
im bored with my current routine la which includes the following although not all at the same time i.e.

wide grip lat pulldowns / close grip pulldowns
barbell rows - will never miss this although im still using puny weights (15-25 kg's per side depends on mood) but kept at 15-20 reps (registryeditor thought me the right way)
t-bar / seated rows (pulley / handles)
lying back raises - for the back delts
chin ups

it gives a different range of motion.
i still cant get use to it.
by some of my frens dont do freeweights, they do more on smith squats.
heck... even darkie uses smith machine, so i guess its ok...

Haha LOL I've seen that in my gym. I dun quite understand why they do that when the freaking leg press machine is just like 3m away.

The leg press machine may not be of Hammer Strength quality but at least it's meant for leg press. They lie on the floor and push the Smith bar upwards. I think that's kinda dangerous. tongue.gif

smith machine, is it ok to use it for squat? i heard it will not trigger the additional stabilizer muscle but for me, i feel smith machine safer.

good start with a smith machine for squat to get ur 'tonggek' (arch) right, and ur elbows position, ur knees etc

but i believe both will promote growth but perhaps smith is a lot slower

If you're just starting out, I think pretty much anything you do in the gym will get results.

One of the odd exercises i saw was doing dumbbell bench press using a Swiss ball and the guy was using 100Lbs per side (Max weight for dumbbell),i tried it the following and found that its quite hard as i was only able to use 30Lbs and maintain correct form,if i went for higher poundage its really hard to control the movemnt.

I think once while i was benching my max weight, i suddenly feel weak. Can't carry up anymore!! No matter how much i try. Have to roll it down my chest, stomach, legs and to the floor.

I was kinda bruised for awhile later:P

I did that before. Had to tense up my whole body in fear of breaking a rib or something. unsure.gif

The kind of annoying thing was, there were 2 other guys in the gym at that time who're somewhat regulars. And all they did was watch as I was trying to get the bar off me and onto the floor. doh.gif I mean, I don't expect people to go over and help a complete stranger, but wouldn't it be the better thing to do to get a bunch of weights off a person? xP

Does anybody want to experiment with the swiss ball? It sounds like if you can overload those stabilizers, you may be able to get some way in strength.

Anybody?

Since the ball requires you to keep your balance, a number of supportive muscle groups are called into play, thus creating a more "well-rounded" athlete, not only in muscular terms, but in functional terms, too. But I think it's not worth to try, at my level I means... tongue.gif

I'm wondering, if the Swiss ball can overload your stabilizers, perhaps you can get stronger by switching a part of your bench workout, to dumbbell benches on a Swiss ball. I've seen Joe DeFranco do it and put his athletes to it. They also like to use chains to act as overloading agents, though I'm not sure anybody on this forum needs this yet.

Basically, they will choose one bench exercise (pin benches for example) Work to a max according to the Prilepin's table. Then they move to exercises that require the stabilizers to fry, and the Swiss ball bench is one of them. Sometimes they change to kettlebells and chains as well. Kettlebells shake like crazy when put on a barbell. If you don't watch it properly, you may be benching just 40KG but the bar can fall and turn your teeth out.

It's worth a try, if you can keep the ego out and progress gradually from lighter to heavier dumbbells on the swiss ball.

The guy who did that is the previous manager/owner of Celebrity fitness,Jamie is his name.

Serious bodybuilder with an awesome body,now no longer in Malaysia tho,he is American.

Used to pump the 100 pounders as if it was nothing,i spotted him for barbell bench until 250kgs.

I might give the Swiss ball bench a serious effort if i see some progress in 3 more weeks.

I didn't even know you posted anything. I was looking for the video for the kettlebell bench when you posted your reply, so I didn't even see your reply. Rest assured, I was more concerned about other more important things.

Its easy to balance actually,the trick is balancing both weights at the end of your arms and also to control the rebound.

Me benching 45lbs DB.

I have no idea why the video is so laggy...it was fine on the phone. Must have been youtube's fault for compressing it.

Darklight is going to bash me for not going down all the way, but I swear it's the lowest I could go and it was my 4th set for DB bench press and before that I did 5 4 sets of flat BB bench press and 5 sets of SM incline bench press.

Yeah, i love this quote by scott abel from t-nation

Strength doesn't increase forever and ever. There's a ceiling effect.

What happens is after the bodybuilders learn that it's the amount of stress the muscle is under and not the load, they actually start to progress more by using less and less weight.

the thing about KFC is that the oil is reused. And some say they use trans fat.

There's enough oil and fat i consume at mamak / cafe / restaurant. All the food at mamak and cafe is oily. Cannot escape that. I just supplement with some olive and fish oil. btw I seldom cook my food. not much time.

KFC oil is definitely reused. See the colour of the oil also know already. Its like dark brownish. Most fried chicken vendors also like that. Cuz there's a large amount of oil being used and its expensive if they keep changing it.

That ain't the half of it. Other unhealthy things I love (and eat frequently) in addition to KFC:
- steak
- Ramly burgers
- mashed potatoes with lots of butter
- chili crab
- fatty pork
- billionaire's bacon
- curry laksa
- kaya (okay, pretty much anything with tons of coconut milk in it)
- Yorkshire pudding
- etc.

That ain't the half of it.  Other unhealthy things I love (and eat frequently) in addition to KFC:
- steak
- Ramly burgers
- mashed potatoes with lots of butter
- chili crab
- fatty pork
- billionaire's bacon
- curry laksa
- kaya (okay, pretty much anything with tons of coconut milk in it)
- Yorkshire pudding
- etc.
Reading that description literally made me go

Full disclosure: A lot of it IS fat, and my blood pressure is only a unit or two from the prehypertension range.

(On the other hand, I passed my last stress test the other month with flying colors.)

All the other numbers are good, actually. Pretty strange, considering my diet.

I think Malaysians have a Pavlovian response whenever they see the words "Ramly burger" written anywhere.

I read a study, but as usual lah...I never bother to bookmark it. There was a doctor that believed that HDL/LDL/saturated fat is all good stuff. He says that cholesterol is just running in your body and when there's a problem, cholesterol will fix it.

AH! FOUND IT!
http://westonaprice.org/moderndiseases/benefits_cholest.html

And then, there's another study (which I can't access because I don't have the acc password/username) about cholesterol, fat and protein. It has very solid proof (Test subject of 150 ppl. 86 ppl managed to finish the test) that may ruin the agriculture industry. It seems, we humans really do not need...... rice! We can basically live very well off simple meat and fruits. That bodes great for me, because I can't stand rice. It leaves me bloated.

If you are able to access the site, please let me have a full copy of the journal article for reading purposes . 150 samples and 86 of them made through isn't that convincing but then again, running through the report might prove me wrong.

86 samples. I think that's good enough for me. The dropout rate is quite high, but I think it's because the study was run in US, where it's rather hard for them to stick to a proper diet for a long time. I'd like to see the study done in Europe though. That ought to have solid consistent entries.

Errr... it's not that surprising actually. Rice (and wheat) simply happens to be a great source of energy, and thus cultivated.

I attended a 7th Day Adventist church seminar a looooonng time ago (some friend trying to convert me. LOL!). One points they kept hammering to their members is good nutrition through primitive diet.

Primitive as in: Fruits & only fruits. Even vegetables are not considered the main source of food for humans.
Of course, that's not possible for most. So it is only an ideal diet.
They then suggested this: Fruits, vege and Jesus bread.
(OK, OK! I made this name up because they were referring to the type of bread made during Jesus's time. Not the white bread we have now, but the raw, hard, brown bread 2000 years ago.) =)

Think about fruit fasting, if some dude can live with just eating fruits for a week and become healthier... I'm sure we could eat fruits only for all our lives with no problem.
Well, perhaps protein might be a bit of a problem in the long term.

When evaluating a study, there are lots of things that you need to look into. Its not a matter of who can stick to a diet or so. We don't know what they really eat. Studies can be very misleading. You are saying that a success rate of 57% could justify things for you? Not very convincing to me. Whats more without running through the journal, you wouldn't even know who are the samples ; athletes ? some jock ? old people ? To also say that humans don't need rice to survive is just too much . A lot of things should be put into consideration. Credibility of a study is so important because we got heaps of journal articles these days proving things that would only cause a huge mislead.


I'm just trying to make a point here because I don't want everyone to go home and start eating meat and fruits and nothing else. Things like this just can't be preached.

KFC oil is definitely reused. See the colour of the oil also know already. Its like dark brownish. Most fried chicken vendors also like that. Cuz there's a large amount of oil being used and its expensive if they keep changing it.
*
I did some part time work at McDonalds for around a month before, and here's how they handle cooking oil.

They completely change the oil about once or twice a week, the rest of the time the oil is topped up when necessary. So naturally, by the time a change is due, the oil has turned rather dark.

Can't say I know how KFC's kitchen procedures are exactly, but i'd say its similar.

Only one exercise is not enough.

BB row, lat pull down, one arm DB row, deadlift and seated cable row, shrugs.
