Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,425 posts Joined: Mar 2007	QUOTE(jamis @ Dec 8 2009, 10:27 AM) High skill exercises include the Full Clean, Full Snatch, High Pull From the Floor, and Overhead Squat. Moderate skill exercises include the Hang Clean, Hang Snatch, High Pull From the Hang, Power Clean, Power Snatch, Push Press, Deadlift, and Front Squat. Low skill exercises include the Bent-over Row, Overhead Press, Lunge Variations, Back Squat, and Dumbbell Squat. back squat is low skill exercise, this complexes indeed sounds brutal. I think if i m going to do it,non of the high skill exercise i can perform in my gym, else i gona get kick out for throwing the weight :S Don't think you'd be able to use weight so heavy that you need to dump them in complexes. It did mention about half of a 10 or 20 RM in the example he suggested.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,425 posts Joined: Mar 2007	QUOTE(yeah_guyz @ Dec 8 2009, 02:35 PM) Technically the power clean is design to trow the weight to the floor after you finish the movement. imagine if you clean heavy how are you going to lower it gently? lol? and for the complex excercise, let's say you can squat 80kg easily, but you can only overhead press 40kg, still you have to use the weight you can handle for the overhead press. right? advise advise Probably won't be using a weight so heavy that you'll need to throw them. If you're using a weight you can OH press, then should be no problem to hold on to them for about 10 reps. Try using those complexes design by other coaches and see first. Then can start designing your own. Even stuff like Javorek's dumbbell complex #1 & #2 are tough, even without heavy weights. Half of the exercises are explosive. If you want to increase the intensity (and the puke level) of the complex, add in explosive/power movements. Swings, snatches, squat jumps (with or without weights), burpees. E.g. Ross's Magic 50. I'll never call a 10kg dumbbell 'light weight' again, after I lie on the floor panting like crazy.

Nice! but not reach the puke level yet. maybe shorten the rest time will reach that lol. I think you could easily use way heavier weights. 15kg is sap-sap-sui for you lah.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,425 posts Joined: Mar 2007	you guys have got to check out this guy doing push ups & hanging leg raises. With his body weight, this guy is crazy! http://rosstraining.com/blog/2009/12/28/in...he-heavyweights Note especially that he did L pull ups. This sh!t is tough. Because the lats loses leverage when the glutes are stretched. Combined with his body weight... FUYOH!!! This post has been edited by iamyuanwu: Jan 21 2010, 12:02 PM

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,425 posts Joined: Mar 2007	AWESOME if you can do 20 pull ups. AAAWWWWWWWESOME when you can do 1 arm pull ups. I can do neither. Therefore I'm not awesome. [/rant] Added on January 28, 2010, 11:46 am QUOTE(ken86 @ Jan 28 2010, 10:28 AM) just follow these http://www.tmuscle.com/free_online_article...nster_shoulders If you can bench with the Oly bar for 8-10 reps, I suggest adding the weight progressively. DB bench is sometimes easier on the shoulder as we vary the angle freely as opposed to the pressing the barbell (a long rigid stick) with both hands Regardless, you are still not awesome if you can't pullup at all. Speaking of YTWL, you guys really have got to check out Tumminello's guide on YTWL. He modded it and called it LYTP. http://nicktumminello.com/2009/07/a-new-and-improved-ytwl/ This post has been edited by iamyuanwu: Jan 28 2010, 11:46 AM

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,425 posts Joined: Mar 2007	Just started the Armstrong routine. It says 20 pullups in 6-8 weeks woh. See how it goes. =D I want lats so wide, I can glide in the air when I jump! X^D I guess the best way to add more pull ups is to add weights. The stronger you are, the more pull ups you can do.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,425 posts Joined: Mar 2007	The Armstrong routine is a bit funny. I did 30 set of 3 for today's training set. LOL! How's that for greasing the groove? GTG stopped working after a while. I guess I need to get stronger overall & better conditioned to increase pull up numbers. Just merely greasing the groove will only get to about 12-13 pull ups for me. This post has been edited by iamyuanwu: Jan 29 2010, 12:47 AM

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,425 posts Joined: Mar 2007	QUOTE(satsugai @ Feb 3 2010, 08:06 AM) i wanna start stronglifts 5x5 but theres just no way i can do the chin up/pull ups part of it. i could do it with the negative pull up machine (it's an assistance machine, not a negative pull up) but the stronglifts ebook says that its a huge no-no. but since i have no choice would the whole programme be pointless by going ahead and using the machine? <-- Not like this. Feet should be pointing up, head looking up. The assisted pull up machine Fitness First uses. Don't stand on the assisted pull up machine. Kneel with the knees (and the feet off the ground) on the machine. Meaning only the knee touches the support, the shins, toes and feet is pointing upwards into the sky. And look up at the ceiling above your head. (Imagine theres a piece of nice Belgian chocolate bar hanging from the ceiling, and then you to pull up and literally take a bite with your mouth). <--- seriously, it makes pull ups easier this way. Then EXPLODE up! Don't just pull, EXPLODE! Also do the 'negative pull ups' without assistance. And do a bit of heavy pull downs (lat machine) too. I know it doesn't carry over (to pull ups). But since you're doing negative pull ups at the same time, the strength gained from it can be useful. This post has been edited by iamyuanwu: Feb 3 2010, 11:39 AM

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,425 posts Joined: Mar 2007	QUOTE(satsugai @ Feb 3 2010, 12:19 PM) so ur saying that i can use the machine as long as i use the method you mentioned and supplement it with negatives? Errr, you got it backwards: negative pull ups should be the main exercise. To supplement it with a bit of pull downs. I guessing perhaps 2x5 or 3x3 of heavy pull downs to build some strength? This is just an option. Lots of people have managed to progress well with frequent negatives. Oh, I managed to read somewhere on the net that some dude did this for his negative pull ups: 3 set x 3 reps. Each rep, he jumps up & hangs on the top for as long as possible, then comes down slowly. You might wanna try it out. I'm going to get my sister to use this method out as well. See how well it works for her.

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 2,425 posts Joined: Mar 2007	Should be ok unless you're deep frying it for long periods of time. I'm assuming that you're just using small amounts when roasting or stir frying it? I wouldn't use EVO though. Probably just virgin or refined olive oil. And I believe pressed palm oil is a good oil too. Wonder why no one talks about it. Here's how 4Rings uses his EVO oil, refined olive oil, coconut oil, red palm oil. Check out this post of his: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=27647251 This post has been edited by iamyuanwu: Feb 11 2010, 12:56 PM

I don't know what's wrong but I've already prescribed the 3L of water, cut carbs to as low as 20-30GMS a day, eat a tonne of greens and meat, circuit training, get stronger. I even prescribed the fish oil trick to increase fat reduction. I've tested her bodytype and it's the protein type. So everything I prescribe, is leaning towards that bodytype. It seems like nothing is working. Her bodyweight keeps going up. I'm starting to think that she doesn't adhere to meal timings and thinks too little about the importance of the things I'm telling her. All these methods work, and it's even worked with a client of mine that owns a pub and drinks every darned night. Even that client was able to lose 4KG. David on this forum has lost about 7-8KGs. It's extremely frustrating when you can't see the results you want on your clients. URghH!!! I'm also thinking it's because she's not motivated and her movement is extremely lethargic and slow which I've tried to fix with more plyos and stretching. Nothing seems to be working. There's a reason why people sprinkle olive oil on their foods and not cook with it. It kills the enzymes and whatever nutrient qualities are in there. It's all about the.... mind..... mind... mind... mind... m..i..n..d...... m....i....n....d.......... *echoes reverberating in a cavernous space of an empty mind....

Many women in Bodypump classes are pretty well conditioned, even if they may not have the slimmest body with low bodyfat.
