Isn't it what some of us want? Weight gain?

So snack away at night!
(pandai-pandailah snack 'healthily' <-- is there such a word? )

Mana ada?
I've read about some guys setting the alarm clock to wake up every 3-4 hours to down a protein shake in the middle of the night.

This is a inane rant post:

That's not the stupidest thing.
What happened to me when I did HIIT on a threadmill was that I was trying to press the buttons while running at full speed for the machine to slow down, then the machine decelerated rapidly, causing me to lose my footing, and me crashing to the floor behind, making a loud kabloom bing bang in the gym.

I gave the threadmill a kick, and never use threadmills again.
And running on threadmills doesn't activate the glute when running. And since there's no need to continuously drive the body forward (there's no forward momentum on a threadmill), it's basically a screwed up exercise. Better go do cycling or crosstrainer or step machine etc...

Threadmills should only be confined to laboratories for scientists to run tests.
Best is to run barefoot on green grass. Oh the freedom!

No lah, of course you can use it. Just that I personally hate the machine. That's why I rant about it.
Traumatised by my n00b attempt at HIIT-ing on the threadmill.

Cycling also can HIIT what. 1 minute all out, 1 minute normal pace. Or the Concept2 rowing machine also can. Just use different resistance and row at different speed. Etc....
Pandai-pandailah figure it out. =)

Balut FTW! Not just from Philipines, it's available here in HZ too! Taste good, actually!

BTW, what would you guys recommend for grip strength AND endurance?

Found this myself:

And sandbag training.


Actually, I was referring to holding on to heavy weights or odd objects like rocks for loooooooooong periods.

Nice. Got it!

The last time I did it, the plates fell off because I didn't secure the plates and lifted too fast. LOL!

Yeah, highlighted for my own reference... because i figured it's a good idea and will certainly do it.

Nope. No harm. Depending on how varied do you train your abs. Obliques, twisting, resist movements, flexion, upper, lower, middle, outer, inner, chaos, yadda... yadda... yadda...

With food.

I'm squatting 4 plates of 2.5kgs.

I can haz bandz & chainz, plz?
I haz been a strong kitteh.

Some of them could be bodybuilders with no martial arts/defence training. LOL!

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.

means eat more mi hoon and spaghetti?

No, it means you go read the stickies first.

Jon, it's only half the protein since he only takes the egg whites.


YOu might as well just take 2-3 whole eggs. Half the protein is in the yolk. Not to mention other nutrients.

Yes you can. More meat, milk, fruits and eggs.

There's a thread somewhere in the forum where we discussed about saturated fat (& egg yolks) and its benefit, and busted the myth about egg cholesterol and what not.

Here it is:

If you're throwing away your egg yolks, at least watch the YouTube in the threads.

It's bad if all you eat is only meat, meat and meat.

WTH? LOL!

At the end of the day, it's still 25 reps. The difference is so marginal it makes no sense for a noob who is doing well.

Pizzaboy,

What would you do to increase tendon and ligament strength?

Errr, how to static hold for the ankles?
A sprain on the ankle was a major pain in the arse. I don't want it to happen again.

Oh, I have pretty good mobility on my ankles.
It's just that after a terrible sprain from stepping on some dude's foot, I'm a bit tulanated that my ligaments are not very strong.

But hey, that's still a pretty good site! A cup of whey it is. Belanja when our gathering takes place (if it ever happens).
