I got a question,wat do u guys think of taking eggs say 4 biji everyday?is it ok?I mean haf boiled eggs.another think,is do u have any ideas to replace slow release shakes?I'm thinking bout taking solid foods.coz supoplmnts are gettin expensive nowdays.

Lets say 1L of milk costs Rm4.50, gives 34g of protein/L, so 1g of protein would cost Rm0.13.
1 egg costs Rm0.30, gives 6g of protein, so 1g would be RM0.05
ON whey costs RM180 for 2.2kg, so 1g of protein would be RM0.08

That's just some simple calculations. IMO whey isn't THAT expensive considered the convenience it provides.

just a quick question guys, can we achieve body like this just from using 2 dumbells, a bench and all the body weight exercises u can find from men's health?

they normally recommend alot of body weight exercises to achieve abs and a body like that as seen in the cover. can it actually be achieved just like that? without things like squats, deadlift
*
With a well equipped gym and PERFECT nutrition, i would say that is doable within 18 months. With dumbbells and bw exercises, virtually impossible. There are only so many things you can do with dumbbells

yeah will do bro. squat bar no side mirror, thats why quite hard to see form. dont know why the moved the squat bar to some place where you cant see the mirrors at all there, probably to prevent squat rack curlers haha.

i was doing romanian DL's, not supposed to bang the floor what..
*
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

i think thats stiff leg DL right?
noted. as for the RDL probably was wearing the loose tracksuit, but i do bend my knees, but not as much to accommodate my left knee =/
*
They are similiar, with subtle differences, i think of SLDL as a pure lower back movement, with the hips and knees remaining static throughout the movement, whereas in rdl there's more hip involved.

SLDL isolates the hamstring

How can SLDL isolate the hamstrings when there's no hip movement involved ? If you can isolate the hamstrings that means you are doing RDL. I remember seeing this argument quite some time ago.

Comments on form ?

Personally i think it's bad, first time checking my own form. Might need to reduce the weight and adjust

dont u guys fear bad knee in long term when turun 100%?
i dunno but i rarely go parallel and let the bar closely touch the rack because the last i did that even with puny weights, right knee gone bad
so now i squat heavy but 60-70% ROM je and for me it works
if it works for you for full ROM, hell punch it through
but i wudnt recommend u locking your knees on your way up though like in the vid
*
Oh i just realised about the knee locking, yeah i probably shouldn't.

Anyway, i feel that when you go till the bottom, the glutes and hams take over, compared as when you squat less than parallel, it's more on the quads , and can feel the force pressing on your knees.
I don't know if any of you watched Rippetoe's vids, but he really emphasises on driving with the hip when coming up.

theres a few articles floating around online stating doing partial ROM for squats actually stresses the knee more. form looks good to me, dont really have any bad comments about it heh but then again im also still learning to squat properly. whats the weight anyways?
*
210lbs

@Vbs
ah, that article perfectly described what i just said earlier.

Is it possible to hip drive with the high bar squat ? I can see how it would work with a low bar squat as you are leaning bit more forward. Is it kinda like the starting motion of a deadlift ?

How about this ? Tried low bar squats yesterday, took so many vids i am not sure how heavy is this, probably 185lbs. When i do low bar squats, i find that i have to use a lot of wrist to support the bar, so i cannot go as heavier. i think i maxed at 195, due to that. Plus, i don't really feel my quads as much doing low bar squats

@Shiloong

If I'm seeing it right, you're using your knees during the concentric phase instead of the hips. You'll need more hip drive. The hip drive is very important for the low bar squat as it helps to activate more lower back power, one reason why you can squat heavier with the low bar setup. Think of the hips as the prime mover here, probably that will help.

Also, again, your feet. Keep your heels planted firmly to the ground at all times. Drive up using your heels as you get the most power out of it. If you notice, your heels tend to come up a little during the concentric phase. You don't want that as you will distribute more weight to the weaker muscles - the calves. This may also add to some instability during the movement.
Your wrists shouldn't be the major support of the bar. Try lowering the weight to 40-50kg and then work on your form first. Work on 'shelving' the bar properly and securely, and hold it with a thumbless grip. If you have sweaty palms, use some chalk. I had that exact problem with the wrists when I first started out. Switched to thumbless and that helped in alleviating the stress placed on the joints. It then took me some more time to get used to gripping thumbless. Your body will take time to adapt to the low bar setup, and along the way it will 'correct' certain issues by itself as the weight increases so it is important that you start off light to better your form first.

Form > poundage - anyday, anytime.

alright, gonna try and fix that the next session. thanks for the pointers. How often do you squat in a week ?
