Don't bother; if they're actually at all serious about working out, they'll bother to look things up in more detail on their own. If you're too fat and lazy to Google something, you're too fat and lazy to walk into a gym.

perhaps we can cre8 a super noob thread with a title

I'm New, I'm Fat, But i dont want Get huge

And state some ultra simple basic of weight lossing, metabolism, carbs, fat, protein, calorie deflicit. but everything come in simple, you know. when come to too detail. newbie will get confused. like what i did last time(LOL)

So any volunteer?

super noob thread.... sound so noob... hhahahah.... dah sampai plan nak buat macam ni...

Maybe something like, I want to get huge but I don't want my testicles to shrink?

Guess what ? Malaysia ABC event photo is up at http://egonutritions.com/shopping/index.ph...id=23&chapter=0

how to do rippetoe when no barbell assess?
i only got db and pull up bar

Guys. I'm supposed to start working out today after a 3 week layoff. Thing is, I'm too lazy to. The thought of going all limp through volume deadlifts is scaring me.

Please try to compel me to.

Then train other parts la, eg chest.

It's chest and DL. It's a fixed program.

You need to be flexible man. Since you've been on a 3 week break, start slow first. Otherwise your body will crash.

Added on October 4, 2009, 2:53 pmthe idea is to shock the body after the layoff

try 10x10.
can use smaller weight.
not recommended for DL though.

dont be sturborn dude, chaging the program wont make you die.

and what is the reason to shock the body after layoff?

your strength probably will drop after your long rest, so start lower weight

don't be stone minded, scared of doing deadlift then lower the set or poundage. if your program is 5x8x100kg, do it like 5x5x100kg, or 3x8x100kg.
do a lil change wont make your ball shink

doing incline benches now. lost 3 kg off my max.

sorry guys, to disturb. my tummy is coming out. got exercise way to kill my tummy?

Bro, i dont get the lucky draw thing. How it works? Just post something on fb and i have a chance to win?

Hang yourself with mi hoon pls.

Seriously.

To 'activate' the lats (I'm not sure what to call it), I did this once:

Do a double bicep pose (or similar). Place elbow/upper arm on the dips bars. Try to lift myself up (I'd have no other way to do it but contract the lats). Hold for a few seconds.

After a few reps, then I go do my pull ups. I did feel the lats working.

I did it purely out of curiousity, and I cannot be certain that it will work for everyone.
Heck, I'm not even sure if the method works.
Maybe my lats were already a bit sore/fatigued---thus making me 'feel' as thought they are activated during the pull ups.

Amen to that. Just read it in T-nation too (reference to the El Khoury guy).
I didn't bother with the research paper. Too damn lazy to use my brain today. LOL!

Or spaghetti.

That's why when you do a pull up, make sure you chest face up and try to touch the chest with the bar and elbows out to squeeze the scapula.

Check out this video, that guy shows you the correct form for lat exercises.
