im gonna bulk for 20 days or so... since im on holidays.. starting on the 1st of may...
soo now trying to force feed myself with food every two hours... and will buy a mass gainer...just to get those extra calories when i cant get proper food or anytime...
anyone willing to train me for a week or so? and anything that i need to add to this??? any tips from the regulars?
hahaha dont shoot me wei.. i've been here long enough to know what happen to zeist okay...
just dont post soo much...
It's ok to ask newbie questions. Seriously. All of us were weak and scrawny at one point.
zeist is a different story. He posted a lot of stupid crap, dissing newbies and making ridiculous claims. I wasn't around when the other regs chased him off but i sure would've loved to see the whole fracas.
now this is a statement u dont get to see from a pro seriously nowadays people forget about their roots and proud that many of us here ingat how we started back then
I'm not a pro. But i love you man. No homo.

haha its up to u.. if u haven tried a rippetoe kinda programme u ought to haha, not too bad. rippetoe or madcow's not bad. i may continue my stronglifts 5x5.. or try madcow haha.
If you want to look like a bodybuilder, those 2 programs won't make you look like one.
It's called Rippetoe's Starting Strength for a reason. Foe beginners who want to grasp the basic concepts of basic lifts, general fitness, etc. Somewhere along the line, Rippetoe fanatics started spouting cum out of their mouths saying it is the best program for any beginner bodybuilder. I don't blame Rippetoe, I blame the idiots who propagated all that shit in the Western forums. Ask yourself this, have you seen what Rippetoe looks like? I'm not dissin him but he doesn't look like a bodybuilder at all.
That being said, I need to rewrite my sticky. Sigh... which is a pretty daunting task but since i'm on a break, well.....
Cramp?? your quads? or?? i used to have the same problems with legs except it was my calves not quads. sometimes even doing light cardio will make my calves cramp! shitty.. and it hurts like ^@%&@!*!$@*%& maybe no proper warmup or stretching la. but since i take animal pak hardly have any cramps except if I go swimming (sudden leg movement under the water). sigh.
ohhhh, never experience cramp on my quads... give it a good stretch la every now and then after u do ur quads. maybe it'll helps, it feels good too to let the blood all flows in.
i hate going up and down the staircase after leg day... sigh. I have to climb 3 storey to go to my gym

LOL bro im not. chill.
I knew someone will ask me this question.
No I'm just asking. At least you don't make it obvious like wildcat.
Hey guys , I just started to active in body building last two weeks . My goal is to have a nice chest and big arm . But I can't seem to do deadlift and squat . Any tips ? Thanks
So you just want a big chest and nice biceps? Nothing else? Back, legs, tris, delts don't matter?
dinner tadi was ultra ultra heavy which is ultra rare for me to binge boss' treat for us tonite she had her cholesterol level down after serious running then blanje chillis had loads of fat, protein, carbs, cholesterol, sodium, MSG, etc etc u name it, i barged down everything huhuhu good fuel for tomorrow's arm day
LOL! I'm doing arms tomorrow. Your routine sounds suspiciously like mine. Oh yeah.... my journal. Lol... how's it working?
I shrug 30kg dumbells and true enough, my grip goes first. But when i asked the big guys at the gym, they all said not to go for straps if the weight is still that light as it will impede my progress. They advise straps for >40kgs dumbell or >80kgs barbell
but then again, theyre westerners. what do you guys think. Caucasian genetics play a role? should I go for straps?
ps. I dont have any targetted forearm exercise in my routine so I'm thinking they may be right.
I shrug with over 130 pound dumbbells, or 315 pounds for barbell shrugs and if anyone tells me not to use straps I'll show them the finger. Why let a weak link limit you? Here we go. Baby weight to me:-
You're bodybuilding, not powerlifting. Grip strength is a secondary concern, not a top priority. Why waste time training your grip when that time could be used to build overall more important muscles?
