Just saw the fish oil post.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/782200

I got mine here. Jarrows EPA-DHA Balance. Good stuff. If you're getting fish oil PLEASE DO NOT GET BULK PRODUCTS, because you don't know the purity of the stuff. You DON'T WANT MERCURY POISONING especially with all that fish oil you be poppin (like 2,000mg/day).

Mercury poisoning is real. Just look at Jeremy Piven (not a bodybuilder, but okay)

you need training weights for those.

raw eggs brah.

don't be hating

dude doesn't use a tanning booth so he tans himself during the winter by lying on his roof to get a natural sunshine tan.

truth.

google katsumi kitamura.

unfortunately the beast died of a heart condition.

That's not a Mil Press by the way, it's just an Overhead Press.

Being pedantic I know, but with the Mil Press, you stand with your feet very close together. Here, Rippetoe advises his trainee to get into a stance wider than he thinks is required. OHP =/= Mil Press.

@-Max91- : Yup, at light weights like 60lbs, probably don't need to acclimatise to the heavier weight. You can imagine if you smash your max straight away, it would feel like a lot more than gradually bracing yourself with warm ups.

When the weights get heavier, you'll start warming up with 60kg anyway and it wouldn't feel like anything.

I feel that a good way to promote hypertrophy is through slow negatives (8 seconds or more) and fast positives.

Frank Zane trained with 10 second negatives on a 315lbs bench.

No it's fine cos 60lbs is really nothing at the moment. Not saying that you're lifting really light weights, but there's nothing to warm up with, so to speak. It's basically the bar + 10lbs plates right? Even if you were to warm up, you would just miss out on one set of empty bar squats.

It's more important to acclimatise when the weights get heavier so they don't come as a shock.

Pls read, thx.

Ah yes, the common point of debate regarding slow negatives. If you're lifting light, is it worth doing slow negatives? Well, I believe that slow negatives is an emphasis of form. If you can perform slow negatives, it is almost certain (not an absolute rule, though) that your form is good.

Having said that, I'd rather lift light and controlled than heavy and quick.

Irony is, I never follow my own advice anyway. Ha!

I'm just mentioning Frank Zane because 315lbs is not a lot of weight to bench at a pro level, but he won Mr. O anyway.

Question for the wise:

Do you control your deadlift descend? Is it worth controlling your deadlift descend?

Saw a couple of dudes today at the gym DL-ing 145kg for 15 reps with a curled back, power transfer through toes and all that jazz but 15 reps is a lot to go on. Nevertheless, it was almost as if the descend was a freefall.

Would like your opinion on this. I find myself controlling my descend too much and I fatigue way quicker. A bit unnatural for me to just relax and let the weight plop onto the floor.

Cheers bro.

yo i wanna be part time pt

argh. My specialist nurse/doctor/health service is not getting back to me.

Do you know if it's safe to lift weights/squat with a perforated eardrum? I had an unfortunate accident while on holiday.

^^^ near ColdStorage (the one near UTAR) has one. Just look directly opposite.

good work! I can't rmb the name of the place, perhaps you can mention it here for everyone's benefit.

Just say you're UTAR, they don't check id.

i like nuts : almonds, pistachios, brajilian.

sounds like a sprain, I'd take a break from direct arm work cos it would just affect my form.

I think you're still good to squat and DL though

It doesn't look like it's 100% HYDROLYZED though, so probably not worth shelling out. Not gonna make a difference anyway.

if you're getting hurt, you're overdoing it

if you're not progressing, you're underdoing it.

darkie: Haven't been checking in, but probably a lot of those skinny dudes doing HIIT are going at it fasted, and without refeeding after.

It is an immensely detrimental workout if they know nothing about it. It's so popularised though, with people just spewing it out as "HIIT is the cure for everything". Almost as close to heart to forum-lifters as "squats and milk". What people miss out on is the dangers of not supplementing it right. This is probably just as bad as squatting with poor form.

If I'm not mistaken, Alan Aragon wrote something on HIIT v. LISS as well as Fed v. Fasted cardio. http://www.alanaragon.com/articles.html

My personal opinion is to just do the cardio that suits you. Keep it simple. What's more important is GETTING IT DONE. If you don't like HIIT, you're never gonna do it. Likewise, if you don't like LISS, you're never gonna bother.

kirks: That's a bad link. I would use this instead: http://www.charlespoliquin.com/ArticlesMul...cle.aspx?ID=292

darkie: I accept your points, but you can't immediately dismiss Alan Aragon's.

Get back to us on that.

On the other hand, Charlie is only really good when you're high on weed.
