Didn't he say he was 77kg not too long ago?

If he was juicing, I'd put my money on him carrying a lot more mass.

zyzz was 90kg after 3 years of lifting, darklight has been lifting for a lot longer than that.

With that being said, I don't think any of us are in any position to judge him if he decides to get on the sauce. He's strong as hell and age might catch up to him before he manages to put on insane amounts of mass naturally.

Hi, anyone tried stonglifts 5x5 program? Would like to know more personal experience about it. Its seems very good getting strength and muscle, and the program explanation seems legit, but my goal is getting lean and ripped, and strength of course, rob riches and steve cook body physique is what i seeking for, not sure without the isolation exercise but only compound exercise is able to reach my goal? Because i do watch some stronglifts members video / picture, most of them seems bulk or oversize (powerlifter style), i am dilemma now sad.gif . Btw i am 167cm, 58kg, 10% bf.

I tried it some time ago for like 2-3 months and there was a definite increase in strength.
And you do improve your body overall but I stopped (sheer laziness).
But personally for pure muscle gain I think maybe specific daily body part exercises might be more useful (also I read about this somewhere). But then again I'm just a noob lol.

IMO, all programs are good as long as you workout. I had an injury and had to stopped carrying weights.And last 2 months, I started back with 5X5. The best thing with 5X5 is that you can get to build up strength real quick. Of course there are various methods of carrying out 5X5 it could be a few 5X5 using low,middle,heavy weight or just a 5X5 it self using low, middle, heavy weight. I myself would prefer doing just a light 5X5 for each exercise for warm up before hitting a real 5X5. And I did this for the 5 major lift during every gym session before hitting the body split.
For eg.
11/4/2012 (Wednesday)- Leg Day
Squat
5X5X30kg
5X5X80kg
Bench Press
5X5X30kg
5X5X60kg
Deadlift
5X5X30kg
5X5X80kg
Shoulder Press
5X5X30kg
5X5X80kg
Bent Over Row
5X5X30kg
5X5X80kg

Jump Squat
5X5X20kg
Front Squat
5X5X20kg
Lunges wt Barbell
5X5X20kg
Vertical Jump
5X5
Calf Raising
5X5X20kg

This is basically how I used 5X5 with minimal rest time in between exercises.

The type of body u looking for ain't "easy", they are actually big (in mass), yet ripped. But similarly the physique of powerlifter ain't just like u can get it by just eating. The dilemma is like ntg. Becos once you workout, you know it's never be easy and quick enough to get either type of body.
You need to eat right,workout and rest well.

Basically you have to do intense workout, eating a lot and rest well if you want to gain that type of steve cook physique. He shot a video of his workout regime in Bodybuilding.com. Feel free to check it out.

Guys, today had I had a really awful feeling during gym. Definitely caused by my breakfast.

Woke up at 1130pm, ate 1 bowl of cereals + 4 eggs. Rested awhile and at 1230noon, took a glass of creatine (Controlled Labs Green Magnitude). Then off to gym and started working out at 130. But had a very uncomfortable feeling on my stomach. Made me gave up on my back workout.

Anyone felt like this before?

When i do squat, i found that my Vastus Lateralis (green in the picture) respond much to that exercise and that muscle grow bigger than other.
Is'nt the squat should target the muscles in quad evenly? Or my squat form is wrong? Right now i only do squat for leg exercise. Havent try leg press.

Gaspari Myofusion Probiotic - is this normal?


I just mixed my first two scoops of Cinnabun Myofusion in 12 ounces of skim milk about four hours ago.

My initial impressions of the flavor and consistency were extremely positive. The only problem was on about my third sip, I noticed something with a completely different consistency had made its way into my mouth and subsequently into my throat.

I texted my girlfriend (since I couldn't really talk/breathe properly due to the newfound obstruction) and told her to call 911. After 10 excruciating and terrifying minutes the ambulance arrived at my apartment complex. They took a quick glance at the protrusion next to my adam's apple and knew something was seriously wrong.

On the way to the emergency room the EMT's, completely oblivious to the fact that I couldn't talk, kept asking me questions. After several minutes of spazzed out charades, they gave me a pen and a piece of paper on which I scribbled "Gaspari" and pointed to the branded shaker (received it for free with my order) I still had a death grip on.

The EMT's looked at one another confused until the driver shouted, "Google it!" The guy who gave me the pen and paper whipped out his smartphone and started typing away.

After what seemed like an eternity (he clearly wasn't used to a touch keyboard and didn't know to use Swype), he put the phone to his ear. All I could hear over my labored breathing was what sounded like a conversation with a customer service representative.

The next thing I knew, we were pulled over on the side of the parkway and the EMT's were assuring me I'd be fine as they had a specialist on the way.

Enraged at the thought of waiting for help as opposed to going to get help, I tried desperately to convince them to continue on to the ER. By the time I was able to plead my case on paper, I heard the whir of helicopter propellers coming to a stop right outside the ambulance.

The EMT's hopped out of the ambulance to inform who I could only assume was the "specialist" of my situation. In a voice much manlier than either of the EMT's, I heard something along the lines of, "Calm down. I have dealt with this at least a dozen times in the past six months."

Before either EMT could respond the doors flew open and in came an extremely muscular middle-aged man in a black polo. He pressed gently (even though it hurt like hell) on my throat and said he would need to sedate me. As he turned to ask the EMT's where they stored the anesthetics I caught a glimpse of a name tag that read, "Hi, my name is Rich. How may I help you?"

Not only was I shocked that the owner of Gaspari Nutrition was in the back of an ambulance with me, I was even more shocked when I heard the EMT say they didn't restock their supplies before they left this morning.

Without hesitation, Rich reached into a Gaspari gym bag and pulled out a tub of SuperPump Max and hooked it to my IV. He told me it would do nothing for the pain but the active ingredients had been clinically proven to aide in athletic performance. He yanked the tube from my IV and took a couple shots himself and then said, "Let's get to work!" I passed out at that point.

When I came to approximately 45 minutes later, my throat was completely unobstructed but sore. There was no sign of Rich Gaspari or any of the Gaspari-related products in the ambulance. The only thing I was greeted with was the EMT's asking me to sign some waivers. I obliged and, while doing so, noticed my forearms were quite vascular thanks to the SuperPump Max.

I asked what happened while I was unconscious and the EMT's told me that I had swallowed a live kitten and that Rich was able to remove it without damaging my esophagus AND keep it alive AND found the little girl who had lost the kitten several months ago and returned it to her!

Thanking the EMT's for their help as they dropped me back off at my apartment, I reached for my keys and felt a piece of paper in my pocket. I pulled it out and it had Gaspari customer service's phone number on it. After my girlfriend got home, I decided to give them a call to see about getting a replacement tub of protein and a new shaker since mine was missing when I woke up.

I spoke with what seemed to be a very nice lady named Tammy. I explained the situation and what had transpired earlier today. Upon finishing my story, Tammy began laughing hysterically. Offended by her insensitivity, I requested her supervisor. After being on hold for seven minutes, Jeff came on the line and I could tell he was already laughing too! I hung up the phone.

Needless to say, I won't be purchasing any more Gaspari products in the future.

Squats is not the same for everyone. Hits more for different areas for different people. In any case if your leg is growing shouldn't be any complaints right?

It's the same for me.
So I kinda balance it out with machine leg curls which seem to affect my vastus medialis (blue) more.
When I do both, my whole thigh gets really sore evenly.

Sweet, nice range of weights!
Okay, forget all that. Lifting weights is not going to stunt your growth. Stunted growth is due to damage to growth plates. There's no impact involved in lifting weights. If you lift properly with good form, it may even help you grow that little bit more because it can stimulate the release of growth hormones. You're 15, your hormone levels are gonna get even higher in the coming years, so might as well make use of that and get stronger and fitter.

http://stronglifts.com/does-weight-lifting-stunt-growth/

http://skinnybulkup.com/does-weight-lifting-stunt-growth/

If you're worried about your height, there are other things you should be thinking about, instead of the type of exercise you do. Are you eating right? Are you sleeping enough? These things are more likely to have an effect on your overall growth that whether you play football or lift weights.
*
Sorry for the late reply again. Actually I dun intend to do heavy weight lifting, just want some muscles on my arm happy.gif . So I guess pumping will be enough for me.

Regarding other factors, I eat
-Oats for breakfast
-Mixed rice (got vege and meat la) for recess about 2 or 3 out of 5 days, the other 2 or 3 can be anything. wink.gif
-Lunch if got other school activities then mixed rice again. If eat at home then bread / maggi mee / leftover food from last night's dinner which consists of meat + vege + rice at least.
-Dinner then also same lor meat + vege + rice + others(egg/tofu...)

So is it balanced enough?

Regarding the amount of sleep, how many hours is enough? I think I have lack of sleep, on weekdays 6 hrs on average. Weekends can be 6-12 hrs. Ok or not? unsure.gif
