QUOTE(mikehuan @ Oct 25 2011, 11:52 AM) hmm, after a moment to reflect, i would agree to this. the new guys in the gym have this mentality where they have to fit in. hell, when i first started i was doing random things on machines, not even daring to step on the freeweights area. +1to actually enter a free weights area where everyone else is doing more weights than you and still be confident enough to hold up on your own is pretty courageous imo. especially if you are a female. i got lucky. i was literally dragged into the free weights by my gym buddies when they saw me fooling around with the machines. if it werent for them, progress for me would be much slower than it is atm. and to those trying to be macho by doing heavy ass weights without proper form, dont. there are people who will lift heavier than you, with better form, and with more reps. always. its how you look that matters, not the weight you lift. of course this doesnt apply to powerlifters, lol. It's pretty intimidating for the newbie to be benching 55 lbs when everyone around him is doing well over 100. Same thing for me. Took a while to shelve the ego and the need to conform. |

Heavy load!
But on the setup, would it be better if you used your legs to bring it off the floor into position rather than walking those few steps? |

Lifting it off the floor, the bar travels in one vertical direction. Up or down.
Walking it out, there is a lot more movement to the weight and 400 lbs is quite a load to balance when shifting your weight from one foot to the other. But I've seen a fair share of people doing the walkout. Just that the scariest part of the vid was the walkout portion, hence our concern. If you're comfortable enough with it, it's ok. |

QUOTE(jeff78 @ Oct 28 2011, 05:16 PM) I just feel that one should train using the whole natural ROM. My logic is this, that for example squat. If one trains with a belt, tightening the core, lower back area, the muscles around that area will get "protected" and wont be under the full weight that person is training with. So injury prevention comes from the whole ROM being in correct form, stabilizing muscles working together to hold your body in position, joints moving and major muscles driving the weight through the movement. Anyway this is just my opinion and the way I reckon training should go. No offence ROM is wrongly used in this context.I think what Jeff is trying to say is that with a belt, it takes some of the load off the core and lower back area in protecting it? It's like the bench press. Without the belt it'll be like the flat bench and a barbell, with the belt it'll be like the Smith Machine which restricts unwanted movement. The stabilizer muscles are left untrained and the body adapts to that condition. So benching 200 lbs on the Smith isn't the same pushing 200 lbs in a bench press position 'raw'.

I take an extended breather, maybe like 5-10 minutes. Then it's back to squeezing out what I can before calling it a day. If my body isn't up to it, no point forcing the issue.

QUOTE(hexion @ Oct 30 2011, 06:12 PM) quickie noob question. hey, is it necessary to do different style of workout that target are the same part of body? Not to mention different usages of isolation/compound exercises.looking through someone workout logs yeah makes me wondering. for example are the train log above, the target are specified toward each body-part but why must have variety of style?? why not stick with the same style and just increase the reps and sets?? huu, sry if it annoyed but reading the sticky and comments surely does pop some random question in my head. |

QUOTE(razorboy @ Nov 9 2011, 05:58 PM) If he eats the amount of tofu equivalent to your big cheat meals, 7 times a day, every month. He' gonna start growing boobs. That being said, reminds me of someone talking about cortisol levels spending more than an hour in the gym, wonder where he went after I posted a statement on it It's a symptom if you start to have an emotional breakdown and start bawling during your lifts in the gym. |

QUOTE(nasrulbond @ Nov 15 2011, 08:01 AM) guys, i've been reading a lot about creatine, and thinking to buy it coz the articles promotes creatine as the best supplements for muscle gaining. any advice? right now im just taking whey protein as my main supplement. and usually i go to the gym for like 3-4 times a week. thanks I don't know about the muscle gaining part, but I use it to alleviate fatigue. It's pretty effective in that sense, and I get nice strength retention.Added on November 15, 2011, 10:11 am QUOTE(skylee18 @ Nov 15 2011, 10:10 AM) But that's only our normal routine, we didn't over consume it. Don't tell me you eat 1kg of pork daily? =.= Have you met darklight lately?The case is normally we take 1 or 2 eggs daily, but people who build up body take even 10, already 5x more than normal. Thats logic to you? This post has been edited by statikinetic: Nov 15 2011, 10:11 AM |

QUOTE(andyfriends @ Nov 16 2011, 10:34 AM) just to check on the following: 1. Eat, train, rest. There's no point to train a bodypart everyday, and if you do you're probably not training it hard enough.1. given that chest is a bigger muscle group, can we train the same everyday (+ other part)? 2. can we train bicep and tricep in a same day or must do seperately? 3. a day for back or mix with others? 2. No problem, up to you to group. 3. Again, muscle grouping is up to you. But if you choose to group big parts like legs and back on the same day, you're definitely going to be very exhausted. |
