With a back squat of 190 for a double, Chris LeRoux (He's the guy in that vid, also the owner of weightliftingexchange.com) he definitely IS something. I think he's about 36 yrs old.

Yet, he looks....normal.

Great stuff, indeed.

dudes
i wanna know what does zero carb diet really mean
i mean, kalau zero carb and then go gym, i thought even milk + protein (or just protein shake with water is already carb)
im down to my last 2 weeks of cutting but never really tried zero carb
instead i eat rationally and cardio like hell

any ideas?

i was wondering, how much do u guys spend every month on food alone ?

Take meat and carbs source only from vege and milk not really a good choice during tat diet.

I prefer carbs cycle, at least i have my glycogen store to boost my workout.

Added on March 17, 2010, 10:00 amRm 70 for grocery each week + my whey tat can last me for 1.5 - 2 months (RM300+) + eatting out (70 each week)

so... around RM850 (with some extra expenses on weekend).

I've been on zero carbs the past 4 months. That is exactly how i lost 14 kilos total yet i kept my protein intake high which caused continuous gains in strength and muscle mass coming. It's not as hard as you think it is, but it isn't a cakewalk either. Most of my "carb" sources came from apples, cabbages, broc, cauliflowers, etc. You get the idea.

And i didn't do cardio. =)

Darkie, then hows ur breakfast, preworkout and postworkout meal like?

10 egg whites, one apple

10 egg whites, one apple

post is normal dinner with veg replacing rice.

woah that's a lot. I wonder how students can take this up

Depends thou, coz i stay outside and cook my own food. If u stay with ur family then the expenses would be alot lesser.

Darkie, got it

mmm egg whites

cut down cigrattes , clubbing, drinking, mamak, cyber cafe

Question, do you cook your eggs or d'you gulp them down raw?


On another note, on the topic of stamina and cold drinks. My take on it is that cold drinks do not affect your stamina adversely, though I've got a friend who is adamant in believing drinking cold beverages will ruin your stamina. How would I explain to him how/why cold drinks don't affect your stamina. Or if I'm mistaken and he's right, what's the explanation for cold drinks affecting stamina as he doesn't have an explanation for his claims either. Just trying to understand this particular topic.

i dont even do those things lol

even cut down all those you listed, also cannot afford

my previous college life only RM500 which include rental and food
i have to limit my expense of food no more than RM300

well, it is depends, some from rich family may get more$

bodybuilding is expensive sport if you are serious about it

and you have to maintain it

I think ur friend is wrong. I have friends who drink cold drinks, smokes, drink alcohol, and yet they're playing football for the states, and they last the whole 90 minutes. Just my opinion though


Exactly. I find it hard to consume enough protein everyday to gain weight with the money i have. Maybe i need to start working soon haha. Still on holiday mode after getting my degree few months back

Thanks for the reply. Would you happen to have the explanation for it? (IF there actually is an explanation)

unfortunately no. Maybe stamina is not related to what u drink at all

eat more egg whites like darklight. 10 eggs are only RM3.50. considered cheap I order chicken breast (only) from chicken rice shop, RM 5, quite big portion .

I makan whole egg when bulking, 6 eggs is sufficient and easy to eat.
