de.crystal:
here's a question:
when you say you did x number of reps, hows the last rep, did you struggle to get it up or was it easy?

dont depend too much on bodypump, its not weightlifting. I know, i've been to the classes. you carry a quarter of your max weights, sometimes not even that, and perform what, 20-30 reps? you wanna shape up, then bite down and LIFT WEIGHTS LIKE THE REST OF US. stickies have some great routines you can follow. Me, i go to bodypump as my cardio, and thats only once a week. TBH, i don't even feel the slightest DOMS effect the day after bodypump classes.

orh, and compounds during bodypump? thats like 25kg squats and deadlifts, its too light. I do squat routines once a week at 70-90kgs x 20 reps in addition to bodypump classes. do more squats/deadlifts and you'll really feel the difference

guys, need advise on where to get creatine mono that is the best bang for your buck? checked the online sellers like most not selling..

lol. i shuddered a bit when i read this >.<

CGBP?

DL when you say train with lots of volume, how much volume are we talking about? 4-5 working sets of 12? or as much as you can take?

gonna answer line by line;
imo, if there wasnt inner pecs why would people do flys?

yes, flys are for inner pecs

wont hurt to include flys in your exercise routine wouldn't it?

upper and lower pecs make out the whole chest area, would look inbalanced if one part is underdeveloped

yes

erm, well...not trying to be nitpicky here but

isnt 63 + 20 = 83?

you're wrong though, i never tried above 100kg squats, not until i get a belt.

eh? i do both, overgrowth of hips?

leg presses. one guy in my gym swears by them. though i dont do them cos it hurts my knees somehow

p/s: my girl did tell me my ass looks better now, zz

T Nation

whoosh, t nation really has some high standards. pretty close to the BW Bench press though lol. No where close at the DL area though. I wonder if this means 1 reppers?

well, i agree with what you say ken, regarding the foundation and building up strength. what struck me most about the quote i posted was the last line. from what i see, probably only 2-3% of the guys in my gym can achieve that, and beyond. shows how far we have to go in order to at least stay on par with the guys writing the articles. if the guys i look up to is considered weak, then what am i?

thats what i meant by their lofty standards.

....

/facepalm

potentially, yes. do it carefully and dont take too much weight until you're confident with the ROM. preferably have a spotter. i wont do this exercise unless i have a spotter (which is rare, lol)

still a lot of stock bro? planning to go there tomorrow if possible to get off work heh

another one: dont initiate a conversation to anyone who is doing/about to do a set. save the chit chat for later!

Heh, i'm pretty quiet in the gym. I dont talk to anyone unless i ask for a spot. Result, hardly anyone disturbs me. Once im done i'll start disturbing others for kicks lulz. (they dont mind, of course)

Also helps i dont go during peak hours

edit: surfing the net when i saw this Lipotropic Whey. Anyone tried this would like to comment anything on it? Cheaper than ON Whey and still has 25g protein per scoop. Only thing bad i can see is it tastes bad according to reviews..

that bad? its okay bro, i'll buy a new tub once i finish the 10lbs on whey i just ordered thanks for the reply though..

jesus, no contest. he wins hands down! his back is well developed too, but his legs are definitely his best feature..

i'm downing the very same liquid, lol. guess i'll give it a try then..

or not enough sleep? i get that sometimes if i wasnt able to sleep well the night before

ouch, sorry to hear that LV. sucks not being able to train
