slight pet peeve, but SLDL is a misnomer. They are different in that Romanian does not end up being a dead weight and SLDL has deads in between reps. Slight bend on the knee towards the end to save your back. All a matter of flexibility really. Doesn't matter what you call it, do what you're comfortable with. Difference between regular DL and SLDL is just the angle of the knees, but SLDL is not truly locked knees.

If you can't touch your forehead to your knee with your leg straight, I think it's one of the exercises to avoid.

12 year old kid probably stronger than you.

guys need to ask, whenever i jog outside, i feel pain around the shin, tat kinda limits me to cardio twice a week. n i also feel my cardio isn't intense enough due to the pain. even if i rest for a week, the pain is still there. any remedy?

Get it checked up. If it's a real injury, you don't want to keep aggravating it.

You do realize that if you've got decent muscular development, high impact activities like jogging will wreck havoc on your joints right? And if you persist in continuing you'll need customized running shoes. Which is why the bicycle and the threadmill is the tool of choice in cardio for most bodybuilders.

Im 15 years old , 174cm tall , 52 kg ( yes i noe im underweight ) . What exercises should i do ?

Kindly do some research first. (Even if you don't want, at least state your goals etc etc, how should someone advice you when they don't know what your goals are) Take the initiative to Google, and find out more about exercises/workout plans/diet/tips yourself.

Folks around here don't appreciate someone waiting to be spoon fed.

If you really don't know where to start, try reading some of the stuff here http://www.scoobysworkshop.com/ or http://bodybuilding.com/ or the stickies in the Bodybuilding and Strength Training page. A lot of helpful information there.

Exercise no.1 - Eat more
Exercise no.2 - Weight lifting
Exercise no.3 - Eat more
Exercise no.4 - Eat more
Exercise no.5 - Rest
Exercise no.6 - Repeat

Hehe.. of course it is not that simple. But i think that is the basic.

I watch the scooby's video , the thing i dont understand is do i do it everyday , or maybe like monday , wednesday , friday . And wad do i do with my underweight issue ?

When you lift weight, you are working with your muscles and as time goes, muscle grows, however for muscle to grow, you need to eat a lot of nutritious food especially protein.

As your muscle grows, your weight increase isn't it?

There are so many many workout that you can do, of course you need to ask yourself how much time are you going to spend per week for training. Then plan your workout according to the day you are willing to fork out.

Things you need to know: (i'm quoting what i replied earlier in other thread - feel free to correct me if i am wrong)

Avoid noodles ? Eat more rice ? More protein stuff ?

Wats ur current daily diet like?

Avoid Carbs = Rice

Eat more veggie + protien , healthy chickens / fish.

Cut out sugar.

Here, let's have a lil bio lesson.

1. Gluten is bad. What is gluten? Wheat, rye, barley, a stupid load of processed food such as McDonalds turd.

2. Why's gluten bad? Well besides destroying your gut health, producing a huge load of bad bacteria in your tummy, it's been linked to autism among children and one which I really DON'T like at all, it kills the brains. How?

3. There are people who are sensitive to gluten, there are those who aren't. Asians, generally a little more tolerant to gluten but still not a good idea. There is smtg called "excitotoxins" in gluten. In our bodies, it produces that as well, but because it goes up and down within miliseconds, it's not harmful to our brains. However, thanks to excitotoxins in gluten, it continues to rise and doesn't fall, thus killing our brain cells.

Here's a simplified version on the dangers.

Yes, we may be more tolerant to gluten, but no I rather not take the risk. Mind you, gluten is present in almost every single bloody processed food out there, including your coke, your candy bar, your CEREAL (By far the biggest health lie ever), your "dai zhao", your "siu yok", your MSG laden soup, your cookies. That's why I'm a huge proponent of natural foods such as meats, veggies, fruits and on-top of those foods, take more vitamins and minerals from HIGH quality supplements.

Tat-tara-ta-ta-raaaa~!!! Still wanna eat roti canai?

N don't listen to Scooby on youtube. That guy's as smart as a doorknob.

pizzaboy , what do u suggest to replace rice ?

i mean , to avoid hunger(nasi can eat full full, plain meat/vege will cause hunger sooner )... is spaghetti good enough ?

cuz i normally eat eggs , veges n meat in the goreng/cooked with oil in wok for lunch/dinner... but yet still contains proteins/sodium/etc etc nutrient.. rite..?

i replace rice with oats, fruits or veges.

I didn't say rice has gluten.

My friend said this a couple days back. "I cook to eat, not cook to be a culinary master". What this means is, if you're going to cook, just cook it with the simplest ingredients possible if you don't wanna step on the toxins that a ton of sauces have. I'm not gonna help you here, but a quick google will reveal what foods have gluten. Go wikipedia and search gluten to have a better understanding on what the devil's gluten.

Another lifestyle eating that's the rave right now, is the whole natural food diet thing. It's as simple as this, if the cavemen ate it, you can eat it. If the cavemen didn't eat it, you can't eat it. Did the cavemen eat chocolates, meggi goreng, nasi lemak (possible.....) or cereals and those retarded powerbars? Nope. Those fellows weren't available. It's pretty easy. If you see, food conditioner, emulsifier, thickener, shorteners, weird stuff that if Uncle Cavemen Ungah Ungah Dance Around Fire At Night, would look and ask himself "Erh...this not from mai jungle no?" don't eat it.

NOW, this comes with a few "clauses" I suppose. Because the quality of food we have right now, is much lower than what the cavemen had, we either need to choose to eat 100% organic, grass fed, nature raised animals, or we supplement the lack of quality in the common meats and veggies we have today, with supplements. Either way, it ain't cheap. Nope, not cheap at all.

Good advice here,thanks

Btw,you said not to listen to Scooby?I am following his Teen Workouts,I wonder if that's ok? Teen WorkoutHe just tells u to do some pushups,dumbbell flys,press,pullups,dumbbells rows,all that stuff..all good thing I should be doing if I want to build muscle?

And yes,I am eating properly,so I think no problem on that,just wanna know if what I'm doing with my dumbbells is enough..

Some questions here, suddenly this question just strike my head,

Why is nasi lemak unhealthy beside it is white rice ?

think the sambal does more damage than the rice...
