Yea, a litre of apple juice burns away at least 500 calories. No shit.

I use it to hit the traps and rhomboids, not much of shoulders involved when I do it. Mind muscle connection ftw.

Going "Natural" in bodybuilding means free from steroids, not free from supplementation. Whey and creatine are natural. As pointed out many many times again and again.

No.

Wth... I tried ur 40 sets total today, barely made it back alive. lol. Hard to maintain good form after so many sets too. Really working hard to bring up my lats now.

What I heard from a lot of local bodybuilders is that they skip pct and replace it with lots of coconut water. They claims it helps and they have no side effects from juicing.

Chill yo, you'll be able to after a few years of consistent training. Compared to when i started off, the weights i use now looking back i wayyyy more.

Kasey has some points although i cannot fully agree with him with everything. I binge on mcd's and burgers a lot of the time and i dont get fat. You need a calorie surplus to gain weight and 2000 calories a meal is no problem esp during bulking season. For ppl who wants to cut its a different story but binging once in a while woudnt hurt. In the end it all boils down to what works for u. Are u getting bigger or are u still the same small person u started off training? There are too many keyboard warriors here criticizing what is right or wrong, but how many dare post pics in the progress section? My 2 cents.

Anyone attending? =)

I had the same problem with you where my back is lagging, but now its much better. I don't feel much from barbell and machine rows, maybe I don't have the mind muscle connection but I do close grip V bar rows and V bar cable rows which gives me good back roms and significant results. My back routine for now is:

1 set pullups for some stretching/ warmup
Lat pulldown- 2 sets warmup, 5 worksets
V bar rows- 1 set warmup, 4-5 worksets
Cable rows- 4-5 worksets
Deadlift- 2 sets warmup, 2-3 worksets

I go pretty heavy on my lifts and I stretch my lats a lot during rest periods so the total number of sets I do isn't that much and I still have a great pump and DOMs the next day. I throw in a few sets of dumbbell rows if I still have the strength sometimes. But for back training, I emphasize a lot on stretching and establishing the mind muscle connection.

The same thing? =.=

Wth is a "buff" physique? Different people have different perceptions. I think common sense will tell you that if you only eat well on ur workout days and you eat like crap on your rest days, you will still look like crap right?

Argh, satisfying but very painful leg day.

Squats:
Warmup- 60kgx10, 80kgx10
Worksets- 110kgx10, 120kgx10, 120kgx10, 120kgx10

Leg Press:
Worksets- 210kgx10, 210kgx10, 270kgx10, 270kgx10, 320kgx10, 350kgx8, 350kgx6

Leg extensions:
170lbsx 10 x 3 sets

Cooldown-
Lunges- 20kgx8x 3 sets, bodyweight squatsx 10.

Ghetto style babeh.

Yea thats all the plates in my gym. No its some ghetto gym in Sungai Long, the same one Dan goes to. Small but sufficient lol. The only thing is the heaviest dumbbells are only 25kg (sucks I know), but its cheap.

My recent pics are in the progress pic section. Still can't get outer quad to grow.

Thats a huge ass back man... Nice.

I just went CNY clothes shopping today and I realized I can't buy any shorts that fits my waist anymore. My waist is size 34 but I had to buy a size 38- 40 to fit my thighs. Anyone has this problem? And where sells nice pants/ jeans that are plus sized? Thx!

I can't fit into jeans anymore, plus the trend now is the fitting type of cutting for both jeans and shorts... which makes it all the more tougher, gosh. I think my mom would be pissed if I told her I needed tailor made shorts.

Anyone here trains at KakiGym? I think imma join there permanently seeing how the other gym's dumbbells only go up until 25kgs. The rates there are pretty decent I think.

Just back from there, they having promotion until 25th of this month. RM650 for yearly membership including registration and a free shirt. =) Confirm joining.
