For me to do squats is a bit tricky, i dont have a squat rack so i utilize my benchpress-bench instead. What i do is to stand behind the bench with the barbell and weights already in place, then i squat down to position the barbell onto my shoulders > lift > step back > begin squatting.

Btw how heavy do ppl around my stats squat? Or rather how heavy do you all squat? Just wana use the information as a benchmark to see how i am stacking up..

Please don't take any offense Jon, and this definitely isn't targeted at you specifically, it's just that I don't understand why do people slack off the lifestyle sometimes for no reason unless it's a personal crisis, serious injury or an extremely time consuming commitment. I know some guys I train with who have worse work hours than me (and when this statement comes from someone of my profession, that's means nasty work hours) but are still insanely dedicated to the lifestyle.

Maybe I'm looking at it from a skewed POV, I've been guilty of slacking a few times in my life ever since I've taken up the sport but never on extended periods. I might never compete but it's something that'll stay with me through life.

I dont have a leg day, chest/shoulders days , arms day, and the third day is when i do all compound exercises. Guess i have to find time to squeeze in the deadlift.

Deadlift + squats back to back = my death 

Anabol thread went from Flame to Closed in just under 2 hours. Pretty quick. Is it our culture to think there is a shortcut for everything?

I think what he meant is probably the starting position which doesnt count as a rep. I thinks its okay to have a spotter to help your way in the starting position when it is quite heavy so that you can continue the following reps on your own.

For those looking for cheap protein. =)

Well, the discount is obviously for members only lah. I think you can't find ON whey anywhere cheaper in these 3 weeks. LOL!

How did you figure that out?

i have been feeling numb on my hand,chest and face, when i do bench press or squats if i push hard.

like the 1st few reps ok, then after tat i feel numb on those parts but after 5-10 sec its gone.

its like alot of dots flowing thru the upper part body above chest line

anyone experiencing the same thing?

greetings guys, count me in the club. i just got myself signed up at celebrity fitness and i am going to work hard to loose weight and buil up my muscles. is it ok for a 17 year old to consume whey protein ?

guys, wanna ask .

which type/ brand ( dosage ) of coffee is advisable to consume to aid in my BB diet ?

If you really drinking coffee just for caffeine, I'd suggest just get caffeine pills.

Some say that coffee is packed with anti-oxidants etc etc etc. Coffee is a staple thing in my diet, heck the first thing i do when i get up in the morning is grind my coffee beans. But I'm a caffeine junkie so I consume more caffeine just to keep myself on the ball.

really?
i see many of the points in your gym etiquette resemble FF ioi Mall.
