This was when all I did for my biceps were front squats, pull-ups, chin-ups and rows. Now that I've added bench presses and overhead presses, I'm hoping they'll grow slightly bigger.
stopped short on the last rep cause my left knee buckled a bit on the last rep (though dont think you can see it from the video) so decided to play it safe. fyi my left knee is a bit damaged =/
followed by Hack squat machine 100kg x 10 150kg x 8 150kg x 8
stats height:176cm weight 78kg
and thats my leg routine. please comment, any advice, flames and suggestions are very much welcomed!
edit: someone teach me how to post youtube vids here please..
have a look at that video, and compare your knees when you are squatting down, notice your knee position relative to your foot --> highly related to the video at 1:50

hey thanks! great video..both squats and RDL are self learnt so i got a long way to go. any comments on the RDL video?
np mate, it just takes time, the main thing is to review the video once a while to ensure your form is right, look at the side mirror and squat with empty bar to slowly monitor your form and try to correct it. You'll get used to it, and when you do, you'll realize how comfortable it is
as for your deadlift form.. kindly look at some rippetoe deadlift videos, your form is not bad just some slight improvement from the current form, like banging to the floor each rep? lol
for RDL, form is decent, but i personally don't bend my knees that much, and i try to push my ass out as far as possible, and go down until back is parallel to floor, to get the pull on my hamstrings. But your form should be fine though
right, now i understand whats the R meant lol... if thats the case I have no capacity in reviewing your form on that cause I personally have not play with it before
Yo fellas. Not really a progress pic of bodybuilding but more of a progress on cutting. It's a b**** but I guess it's working. A lot of you have met me before but not really in a cutting phase. It's a b****. Started just 1.5 weeks of cardio. Lost 2 inches from waist and 4 kgs of bodyfat. Still maintaining arm size of 17.6 inches or so but I'm worried that i'm gonna start losing lean muscle soon.

that picture dont do u justice, u look bigger IRL.
Okay, finally recorded my squats, thanks to my friend. These were my 2nd and 4th sets respectively. I'd really appreciate some C&C, peeps. Watching it myself, I think I don't go low enough?

imho, the depth is good enough although you may go a lil lower but not until your back starts to round... and again, i feel that many does the same knee pushing out syndrome, not just you, but even those who squat in my gym...
to illustrate it easier, think of trying to sit on a chair kind of squat.... instead of going to the olden days pail toilet to squat and poo
I thought the knees should be pointing in line with the feet?
try not to let your knees slip too front out from your feet...i don't know if its the camera man, but he should really film in such a way the camera is exactly on your right/left right angle, that angle he recorded isnt really the best view to judge
yea i helps building tissues around the cartilage..i have the same problem last time, but after eating fish oil , the problem is gone , u may try it
alternatively, you may request your mom to cook more fish head soup....(or maybe you cook your own). The thick gel on the surface when it is cooled down is what you need, but of course you just drink like a normal soup... just at least 3 times a week?...
