Second?
Any1 knows any substitute for squats and lunges? (knee cap hurts atm)

What I can think of would be deadlift, machine leg presses and machine hamstring curls
But all of them utilizes the knees also...

Woah, 27.5kg is also a lot already.
What about your height and weight Firagaz? Curious...
I'm 170cm and 64kg and I've only been using 12.5kg, pretty sure I can go heavier but the next set of dumbbells are 20kg...

Yes, its 30kg per dumbbell, but 3x8 27.5kg still the sweet burn spot for me. Bro, i do see you could bench 50kg from your workout journal, it seems like you had some hard time balance the dumbbell doing DB press, i pretty sure you can lift more than 20kg with the poundage of 50kg bench, just keep practice. thumbup.gif

Yeah, maybe need someone to lift them up first lol.
How much do you barbell bench then? Should be pretty high right haha.
Cuz I see the big guys in my gym and they don't even go for the 30kg dumbbells when benching.

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.

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.
*
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.

Lol, not sure where I should post this.
Since I changed my diet to fit at least 1g protein per pound bodyweight, my pee has been quite consistently light yellow.
I've been drinking a lot of water since before I change my diet and most of the time it would be near colourless.
I'm drinking as much or more water since the diet change. (I'm pretty sure my intake is sufficient)
Would it be a good indicator of me taking enough protein? (as in there's access being converted to nitrogen and released)
Just a purely curious question.

Hmm, just my 2 cents, I think the colour also depends on how frequent you drink as well as the quantity. If you spread out the water intake more evenly, I think even you have enough protein, the colour will be clear.
*
Yeah, I think I do spread it out pretty equally.
I don't drink like a large amount in one sitting then don't drink for a few hours.

I think the vid above is the Pendley row, not the normal barbell row.
Pretty sure you don't need to return the barbell to the floor after each rep for the normal barbell row.

My gym doesn't have a weight plate that is tall enough for me to do the Pendley row so I just resort to doing the normal ones.

MelForC3, you don't take the yolk?
Firm tofu is really cheap too, but I personally find it harder to eat than eggs...
At the pasar malam u can get 4 pieces for rm1, each piece is about 100g = ~10g protein.

You skipping the yolks because you're controlling your fat intake?

Anyways, my pulled chest muscle is killing me.
Haven't worked out in > a week and i'm getting really restless.
Damn muscle still hurts when I take deep breaths. Wrong muscle to pull.

Not a pro here, but my personal problem was that my grip isn't strong enough.
I can lift the weight with my back no prob but my grip always gives way before I can slowly lower the bar.
In your case it could be a need for straps but in my case I just need to increase my grip strength.
