guys, have u been hurt ur back before by doing squat or deadlift? im having a chronic back pain now.. i dono what it is call for the bone part but i know in cantonese  " mei yong guat " =.=. anyone encounter this b4 ?

you clearly didn't read what i wrote then. and fyi i have 7 solid ASS meals a day and i'm sure my diet is much stricter than yours. i don't see your point in replying in such a 'nice' way. many thanks.

hey there. probably like if it was alright to start the program knowing that i won't hit the the 3.5 cal mark? i split my meals throughout the whole day @ every 3 hour without fail but i can hardly increase the amount of food (carbs particularly, due to bloating).

IBS isn't something you can heal. doctors themselves do not completely understand IBS as well. probiotics, psyllium husk, diet change, lactose free, pretty much tried out most available remedies found. its just something that comes on and off anytime. i can hit probably 500+ my maintenance (have been for the past months, but with the feeling of bloatness on throughout the day). tried weight gainer to up my cals but it worsens the bloating. i've been making my own homemade gainers which has helped abit. so yeah, main question is, would i manage a linear progress on rippletoe if i don't hit the cal target. cause if i can't, i'd rather stick to my own routine and progress slowly.

thanks for your reply btw, appreciate it.

guys, do creatine upset your stomach too? after i take creatine, an hour later terus sakit perut. is it normal? i'm mixing it with warm water before this, and maybe next time i'm thinking to mix it with protein shake, am i doing this right?

i thought more appropriate word would be f uck ? If we never fail it means we never push ourselves to the limit, so that's good. Try again yo

Guys, I'm new to deadlift. How do I know the back pain I experience after the workout is due to DOMS or improper posture?

The difference between DOMS soreness and pain is like the difference between the urge to cum and the urge to pee. It is DIFFERENT and you will know it!

but if girls start lifting weight, the gym machine and weight will be packed. We have to cue to the machine and weights. So its good if they dont lift weight

Patiently waiting in line while she finishes her SLDLs. 

Girls do lift weights lah... *ahem*

yeap but not as hardcore the guys
you all damn stereo..

stereophone.. not!
where do you guys work out? I've seen girls lifting weights in my gym.

TF Kenanga sometimes hartamas. Mostly those kakis who do pump classes. I usually do weights when I couldn't accommodate pump schedules. I don't think ive seen any in hartamas though. Weight machines, yes.

Not all girls who train looks like the pics u get from bb.com lah. I dont always see goodlooking guys doing weights, i never complain.

At least can get one hour of full body on lazy days. Bodypump is the class where I can gauge if my strength has increased from weights training. If i can get through the class with additional weights every time, at least i know i'm getting some where.

I do that too. but when it comes to bodypump, i don't know how to explain but the feeling is different. At least for me. Usually 1+1kg add on weekly/bi-weekly basis.

But anyway I'm still new, been only working out for about 2 months. Still a lot to learn from the seniors here. The thing is a little hard to get info here as most (if not all) who train here are guys! But I still appreciate inputs.

For me squats still ok (I don't go that heavy as compared to normal weights session). But LUNGES!

Currently on low carb, hi protein. Mainly eggs, fish (lotsa salmon, tuna sashimis and grilled saba), canned tuna, cheese, chic breasts (nandos yum!) and protein powders plus supplements. Been on it for almost a month, no weight loss yet but looks leaner.

One thing bad is I'm encountering energy loss on this diet. The endurance is not as good as last time. Maybe I should try pre-workout supplements.
