hi all. any recommended readings and advices for beginners? i'd like to start body-building but dont really know where to start

Got normal sit ups and hardcore type sit ups? Why not clean up ur diet first.

That's the thing. In weightlifting we have it between lifts as well. But why does a bodybuilder need that?

1 heaping teaspoon pre and 1 more post.
LOL true, maybe I was just jealous because they do look hardcore and huge.

post comp, perfectly fine.
pre comp, lookin 4 trubble.

I know that it increases T-level.

BTW, anyone uses thick bars? Where & how much?

I have been emailing with a source who harvests it in the jungle for himself and friends. He said several kilos is not a problem; the question is how much am I willing to pay for raw green tongkat ali? How much should I offer him per kilo? I'm thinking of 5 kg, or about 50 grams/day for 3 months.

Added on November 2, 2009, 7:13 pmEssentially, I have to pay him enough for him to get his ass off the couch and go forage for it in mosquito and leech infested jungle. Say it takes 2 trips to get 5 kg. Would RM 400 be sufficient compensation?

heheheheh...how to say it...chest out..and look at the mirror..
bro...make sure the form is correct before u go heavy..put a 10 kilo weight and then practice ur form first

p/s : youtube will help.a lot.....and deadlift is so good man....

That's very very subjective. I personally can lift better in front of a mirror because it allows me to analyze my technique at the start position and position myself to use my legs instead of my back. Once I get the feel right, it doesn't really matter anymore, but occasionally I still like to face the mirror to know what I'm doing right or wrong.

Some people hate squatting in front of a mirror. I don't really care (I look downwards anyway, helps my hip drive up better because I'm not too arched and thus killing my drive) However, chances are if your technique is already fine, don't bother using the mirror. The mirror's used among weightlifters because they want to analyze at real-time speed, their technique and its changes at whatever angles.

Try it.
Very likely not all. Try exhaling when deadlifting. Probably not gonna be too smart.
