Wowowowow, read this guys. 18inch forearms!

Guys, we have a new punching bag for the H&F gym here.

I've heard people here taking all those BSN, EAS etc, not that I'm telling that supps are the most important thing in training, just want to see what supps everyone else is having.

For me, I stick with the basics, ON whey, oatmeal, creatine, fish oil, milk powder, and my postworkout secret supp: honey (not pictured, coz I just finished it)

Just bought the whey and creatine today because I finished my whey and I need to start on creatine again since my poundage has been low for almost a year. Costed me RM557 for the 10lbs whey (RM378) and the 1kg creatine (RM179).

Yeah but I would be very happy if Ego have a branch here in Melaka, and I don't have a fixed address here.

Well, Ego would earn like fuk if they had a branch here, because a lot of hardcore people are training in Melaka, plus those rich Middle Easterns with superior genetics from MMU would spend their money on supps and juice.

So they should start a branch in Melaka and Penang, too many branches around KL already. Can compete with the only GNC store in Melaka at Mahkota Parade.

I don't understand why some people come to the gym wearing a jacket over a T-shirt/tank top/singlet, then take the jacket off, train, sweat, then wear back the jacket and leave the gym after training. It's not like we live in a 4 season country where it's cold outside, plus the clothing is soaked in sweat and he's wearing a nice jacket over it. I don't see how wearing a jacket over a wet T shirt would make it any more comfortable or would help the sweat evaporate faster.

1 heaping teaspoon pre and 1 more post.

LOL true, maybe I was just jealous because they do look hardcore and huge.

It makes you lose WATER weight, it's the fat weight you want to lose, the water keeps you alive, makes your blood flow, helps to burn the fat and builds muscle. I just don't understand why people want to go to sauna to dehydrate themselves.

Please read/research more before making such unscientific statements and mislead others here.

Many people forget to pay attention to their trapezuis aka trapz. It is the muscle that makes you look big besides your chest and back. There are also some people who train them but are doing it the wrong way ie rolling your shoulders instead of doing a proper shrug.

It's actually an easily trained muscle (all you need to do is to shrug!) with quick noticeable results provided if you shrug the trapezius with the correct form, hold and squeeze it hard, go heavy and have proper protein intake.

So here is some inspiration to properly train those traps.

Yeah, I read a study done by feeding pasteurized and unpasteurized milk to rats, the one fed with unpasteurized milk has more mass than the rat fed with pasteurized milk. The rat with pasteurized milk looked like a cancer patient, while the rat with unpasteurized milk looked normal.

IMO, pasteurization is the only way to transport milk from place to place without spoiling the milk. If the milk is unpasteurized, companies would rugi because they have to replace their milk everyday plus not everyone would buy all the unpasteurized milk in the shop in one day.

Lat pull downs, do you guys do it pull to the front of the shoulder or the the back of the shoulder?

For me I pull is to my chest with my chest arched and facing the ceiling. Pulling to the back doesn't look comfortable.

You said you're a noob, yet you want to invest your money on those supps?

My advice to you is since you've just started off for 1 month, learn the proper form for all exercises, try to make training regularly a habit and spice up your diet.

Haha..sometime for everyone to read..

A wise way is to ask someone experienced in the gym to help you correct your form.

But the main rule to get your back straight is to chest up and buttocks out.

It's been a while...Autobots, mobilize.

Yeah...but they say there are 2 new gyms in BB bazaar in Bukit Beruang near MMU.

Last yr I donated blood then went to gym 1 hour later to train arms or shoulders. No big deal.

What time are you going? They say it's nice. Might be going with JonYeap in a while.

Nah, won't be going there anymore. The gym is pretty but it's quite small la. Yesterday not that many people also I feel claustrophobic d, No Ez bar, no squat rack (the salesman don't even know what's a squat rack) and there's only 1 set of each equipement, have to wait and wait and wait...It's basically a pretty gym. From outside the place looks big because the whole gym's walls are covered with huge mirrors. No point having all the AC and sound system, studio shower etc when there's not enough equipment and so little gym space and have to cramp all the big buys and equipment in a store room.

Plus the skinny salesmen at the counter staring at you like so eager to earn your money like that...I tak suka. Very disappointing.

OHM better.
