40kg..i was using the 36..if ur lifting the heavier dumbells, peak hour or not doesnt matter..nobody uses them..lol

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.

Morning peeps! I'm hitting my arms today but my tris are still sore resulting from narrow grip chest days(2 days ago). Is it okay if I just train my bi today and skip my tri?

Thanks, van_takawa

Do u feel the tension on the chest when u bench press?
Yup, but not much. Maybe it's because it's too light? i kinda feel more tension on the forearms

Do u feel uncomfortable on your knee when u hack squat?
Not really

Do u feel umcomfortable at ur back when u row?
Can feel some tension, but I think it's the muscles working, no?

I don't really understand what you meant by the 'tucking' feeling, but if there's any sensation on the elbows it's only at the beginning of the press.
And yeah, now that you mention it, i do notice that i overbent on the row. Should be flat. Maybe i need a mirror next time coz difficult to agak2 properly.

Thanks again!

Thanks mike.

About the squat i made, it's quite different from the sissy squats i saw. Those involve a kind of bent back, limbo rock movement.

While the one i perform was similar to the hack squat described at bb.com

Perhaps you were referring to another type of sissy squat? Or was the way I doing the hack squat resembled sissy? Thanks

starting June ( 1st of June ) till September i got holiday liao

trying to do body recomposition

i heard that leangains is a good method, but i don't think i can swallow lots of food in a short time

Oh yeah thinking of switching to WS4B or 5/3/1. Any good advice? I find 5/3/1 is painfully slow to do. Any good Strength + Bodybuilding that requires 4 days split routine that you can suggest?

Any BB-ers going to participate KOTR 2012?

Gave yourself a challenge by joining 16.8km 

Still got plenty of time to train and this could help me burn lots of calories. 

No offence bro.

Might be bumping you on that day. 

It feels like I'm naked and all of my friends laughing at me instead of motivate me. "Hey look ! A skinny guy try to carry a dumbbell !"

can i know what kind of workout must i do to maintain fit... i dont want to get a big muscle... what i mean the one look like athlete

Not true, you can do one-handed push ups.

You can work up to a really really good strength level with just BW exercises alone - many of which are harder than weights.

Just to clarify, I lift weights because I like it. But I also climb with several hardcore climbers and they beat me pound for pound strengthwise.

Pull ups, BTN Pull up, muscle up, one-handed pull up, flags, pistol squats - all are not easy at all.

But you probably won't get ripped from em unless you have really great genes.

Yeah I forgot - handstand pushups too are a killer......

Agree with you on hypertrophy. Weights are always gonna be more efficient and have trackable progress.

But for someone who doesn't want to pay for a gym, assuming they are disciplined enough can build a reasonable amount of muscle with no weights. Check out the "ghetto workouts" video on youtube.

Assume handstand pushup for someone at 70kgs. assuming you do one, that is more or less a 160lb military press - which is a lot of weight! While progressive overload can be done by increasing reps not just weight.

There is a limit though I agree.

just wanna share with you guys. i actually had lower back injuries when i was 16, caused by rugby training. nothing serious, as the doctor said that my lower back muscle stressed and she gave me an injection. everything was going perfect after that.

the only probs is that she already told me that i need to stay away from heavy works/weights as it might cause the problem to occur again.

idk why but suddenly i can feel that it happens again this week. but caused of my ego, i still do squats. 1 set of 6 reps, and i'm out. i can't even do lighter weight for the next set. so i stopped.

i then tried to do leg extension, and sadly, i can't even do a single rep of 20lbs (as my normal weight is 130lbs).

maybe i should take a long rest from deadlifting and squatting. this is so sad.

I can do beyond 6 sets but I'm afraid I'm overdo which cause my muscle injured and not develop.
