anyone got any tips for shoulder training?

Supersets. That's what I do. Scared to go heavy, might damage the shoulder joint, so I focus more on reps.

some example of supersets please?
*
My superset consists of 12 reps of dumbbell presses, 12 reps of front raises, followed by 12 reps of side raises.

Any pro's that can comment on this? Been sticking to this for some time now, just recently change to heavier-weights-less-reps for my dumbbell presses.

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.

Guys,

Here is a noob question on drinks.

At mamak stall, what do u usually order for drinks?
Warm barley <-Not good coz of gluten?
Warm tea
Iced tea
100 Plus
Plain water

or should we avoid eating/drinking at mamak stall?
*
You don't have to avoid it completely, if you go once a week, its fine. Just treat it as a cheat meal. That being said, I haven't had a roti canai in over a year. Anyway, for drinks, I usually order hot milo, with less sugar.

UNLESS, you really want to lose weight or have a damn-strict diet (which I don't), then its a different story. You can order hard-boil eggs for food.

For those looking for cheap protein. =)

GNC is having 30% off for its whey proteins this month.
E.g. ON 100% Whey 5lbs is about RM174. 10lbs is around RM331
*
They are? Holy crap. I was just there earlier (GNC One Utama) and the guy didn't mention anything. Luckily I didn't purchase anything though since the credit card system was offline.

Is the discount for selected outlets only?

Sure got, just ask them to check with HQ or read their emails.

All ELP items are off 30% til end of Dec. Nitrotech is about 260+... that is if anyone here still succumbs to Muscletech's marketing power.

Hey guys, I have a nagging question about calories.

And since Arekey brought it up, think its a good time to ask.

QUOTE(arekey @ Dec 28 2010, 11:01 AM)
Your high school phys-ed teacher was a bit off when he told you that a ‘calorie is a
calorie,’ and if you simply eat less than you expend (no matter what you eat) you will
lose weight. And if you eat more than you expend (eating whatever you want), you’ll
gain weight.

As you know, this formula will fail because 2000 calories from pastries, pre-packaged
macaroni and cheese, and fast food is completely different from 2000 calories of
natural fruit and vegetables, lean cuts of high quality protein and healthy fats.

*
From what I understand from that post is that,
1) 2000 calories from healthy food is different than 2000 calories from, say, potato chips.
2) That the calories from healthy food will help us gain weight better.
3) Unhealthy foods will not make us gain as much weight. (Why?)

Question is, how do I explain to some people why do we have to eat clean while trying to gain weight (not necessarily body builders), when their answers would generally be, "If I want to gain weight, why not eat chips? Its unhealthy as hell, so I should gain the weight, right?".

QUOTE(arekey @ Dec 28 2010, 03:12 PM)
I’m sorry if got you confuse. You got it wrong in No 3.
What I write is related to gain muscle weight. Unhealthy foods do make us gain weight.

To Gain Weight :
1. You must understand energy balance (Energy In vs. Energy Out).
2. You have to eat the right foods at the right times.

Here is the easiest way to understand energy balance:
Energy Balance = Energy Intake – Energy Expenditure
Energy intake encompasses whatever you put in your mouth – food or drink. Energy is
made up of several factors including resting metabolic rate (RMR), calorie cost of
activity, thermic effect of food (TEF), and adaptive thermogenesis. The balance of
intake versus outtake is a critical starting point in weight gain or loss.
If you have a SURPLUS of calories (positive energy balance) where the intake
EXCEEDS the expenditure, you gain weight. If you have a DEFICIT of calories (negative
energy balance) where the intake is LESS than expenditure, you lose weight. Simple
enough.

Remember, a surplus of calories is ONLY one component of gaining weight!
Anybody who tells you that you must simply eat a SURPLUS of calories to gain weight is RIGHT.
You will definitely gain weight – a dump load of body fat that is.
Let’s say your body needs 2000 calories to grow – don’t think that your body will grow on 2000 calories of
chips and cookies just because you are in a SURPLUS.
Three thousand calories of junk and empty calories is COMPLETELY different than 2000 calories of high quality carbs,
proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals.
Anybody who does not understand this does not Understand the theory that a calorie is not a calorie.

To summaries, Potato Chips Makes you Gain Fat Weight while healthy Food makes you Gain Muscle Weight.
So which one you'll choose? Big-Fat or Big-Muscular??

Ah, now I know where I went wrong. Haha! Thanks for the quick reply man. Really cleared things up, and I think I can finally answer those idiots' questions now.

chest hard to build and tummy also as well.
by the way, my abs exercise is just sit up for 80times per workout day.

Muscles aren't built IN the gym, its build OUT of it. When you work a body part 4 times a week, you're not giving it enough time to rest, recovery and rebuild.

That being said, try working out a body part once or twice a week, giving it plenty of time to recover.

Yes. This is why:
http://www.precisionnutrition.com/rr-whey-too-much

Whey protein moves too fast through the stomach due to it being in liquid form.
Digestive enzyme helps to increase digestion and absorption, psyllium husk help to slow down the speed of which it passes through the gut.
Have you seen how crazy psyllium husk can hold water and bulk up like mad?

That article is eye opening. Lol.

Where do you get psyllium husks?

Speaking of Ego, I bought my Harbinger lifting straps the other day.

First time using it last week, and the end of the strap stitching came out, called up the store (Subang Parade) and the guy asked me to e-mail customer service, did that, and until now no reply.

Kinda disappointed.

Looking sifu to advice me..

Message me please smile.gif Thankss

Happy New Year!! 2011!!  laugh.gif

Its been said many times before, whether to cut or not, is up to you. Its YOUR body. Look in the mirror, if you want to be slimmer, then do cardio and change your diet accordingly. If you don't want to lose fats, just build muscle. Nothing wrong there too.

I'm using the midrange Harbinger straps (from Ego), first pair I bought, the stitching came out a little after the first time using it. Went back to Ego, and got it exchange. No problem.

The straps are comfortable with the rubber padding. No complains so far.

anybody here transformed themselves from a fat guy into a fit guy?

do you guys straight away lift weights?

or you guys cardio first, lose body fat then only train weights?

Won't hurt to lift weights first. More muscle = More fats burned.

But its entirely up to you. Your body.
