Morning
-5 eggs ( 4 white, 1 whole)
-3 slices bread with peanut butter
-having POST's brand cereal with milk
-sometimes a banana if there's any

Then head to gym workout.
After gym, one scoop protein shake ON gold.

Around afternoon
-Yogurt
-banana if there's any

My late lunch
-approx 250g of chicken breast ( Or one piece of salmon)

Few hours before dinner
-1 protein shake

Dinner
-Whatever my mum cook, mostly rice and meat and veges stuff. If my mum cook porridge or noodles only, I'll probably go mamak for nasi lemak...
Before sleep
-Another protein shake.
I workout 3 days a week, badminton (2 hours) on the other 3 days. One day rest.
My meal is almost the same everyday except on the day where I do nothing which I simply eat.
Been doing this for almost a year now while varying my meal, this is the latest one.
Only minimal gain in strength and muscle.

Start 70kg, now 78kg.
Height: 176cm.
I'm those thin looking guys with a lot of weight but recently gained alot of tummy fat.

My waistline increased by almost near to 2 inches form 31 to 33.
Biceps currently at 13" from 11"
My quadriceps is at 24"
If I never ask, I'll never learn more.
Hopefully someone could help out.

Total calorie intake is? Macro?

RM 10 stretchable pants with striking color. OR any stretchable pants that can stretch. If you wear pants that don't stretch, you'll rip your pants. See what I did there? Stretch.

anyone could do a form check on me? Problems I spotted is my arms during squat, tend to go too back. Low-bar squat position.
*
SQUAATZZ:

1. Your chest is not upright. Your body is a lil bit leaning forward which will be a GREAT problem when you started to lift heavy. If you chest is not upright, you will have higher chance of falling to the front.

2. If you are doing a low bar squat, your knees shouldn't be in front of your toes. Try and have a look and the famous squat position diagram. It shows how and where you should position yourself.

3. Too fast; maybe due to low weight. Slow negative, explosive out of the hole.

DEADLIFT:

1. Pooooooor form. That's not a deadlift but a stiffed legged deadlift. Learn the difference.

anyone here including sifus using lifting straps when going heavy? might as well consider buying lifting straps though. any opinion?
*
Most people who deadlift heavy will somehow need to wear lifting straps to deadlift. Reason being is that usually the first bodypart that will giveout during a deadlift is your grip. By removing this bodypart out of equation, then you can see which area that fails after grip; either the back, quads or ham.

For me, I also use lifting strap while doing lat pulldown. By using straps, I can eliminate any use of forearm power while doing lat pulldown, leaving only my back to do the pulldown.


QUOTE(Damien?(: @ Mar 24 2014, 09:36 PM)
sorry to interrupt, may I know why straps are a must? Been dl-ing raw since i started, and the i feel that after a few heavy reps my grip weakens, are straps the solution? sad.gif
*
Straps is not a solution for grip failure. You use strap in order to overcome weakness in your grip power thus letting you to deadlift amount where your grip will not be able to support that for the time being.

So since you already knew that your grip is a weakness, you need to start training your grip. Using fat grip, static hold etc.

Ronnie coleman who deadlifts 800lbs uses straps and gloves so why bother? Unless your grip is strong then don't use straps

So just now you are asking for an opinion but suddenly you become a smart ass?

How to improve grip strength ? Any effective ways ? hmm.gif

Heavy pull from blocks did well for me. Training using fat gripz will force your forearm to hold the bar tighter as the bar becomes thicken.

guys wanna ask anyone of you experience this before

basically i have been cutting for about a month, first week lost 2kg by dropping carbs, and another 2 KG total for 2nd 3rd and 4th week

however i realized all my lifts didnt drop... but same goes to my bodyfat it didnt drop either, only body weight keeps dropping?

possible all of those 4KG are water weight ? lol thats alot... i've pretty sure i eat below my calories maintenance
*
If you lose 2kg within the first week, that means most of it won't come from your fat. Water is easiest to drop, followed by muscle then fat. If you have too much of a cal deficit, your muscle may be jeopardized.

mcm mana nk besarkan kaki( calves dan quad)? sy x ambil protein. byk mkn daging n telur je. around 50 g a day. im68 kg.

sy besarkan calves dgn skipping 20 minit. besarkan quad dgn squat bodyweight je. dh seminggu tp x nmpk hasil lg. betul ke cara sy ni?

tima kasih kawan2.

Besar tak besar otot bukan datang dari protein semate. Makan la protein banyak mana, kalau kuantiti makanan tu tak cukup, tak besar la otot tu. Kuantiti makanan dinilai guna calorie dlm unit kcal.

p/s: Would be best if you can stick to English. smile.gif

Guys, I wanna ask how to replace back the days I missed my workout due to food poisoning? Double the sets? unsure.gif

No need, just continue with the schedule. You are back from sickness, you should start a bit slower to get into the groove. It's a setback but putting double set with your current condition might make you have longer setback.

Try deadlift + hold for few seconds on the top. Other method would be rack pull (fav of mine).

hi guys, i was thinking of diet to lose fat by doing low carb diet. i already started today. so basically what i am doing now is i consume calories around my BMR, 3g protein per my BW, 50 to 60 g of carbs and the rest of calories from fat. I plan to do it weekdays. For weekends Im going to eat at my TDEE, 3g of protein per BW, 1g of fat per BW and the rest of calories from carbs. Question is, im going to do it for 5 days, is it too long before i reintroduce high carb diet which is on weekend?
*
1. Any reason why you varies your calorie intake on weekend and weekdays?
2. Eating around BMR during weekdays, are you resting throughout the day?
3. If you are going for KETO diet, would be better if you cycle for 2 weeks, and exercising at the same time.

Hi everyone!  biggrin.gif

I'm new to body building and trying to read more on food and nutritions. I am 165cm and 55kg, I go gym 4 days a week and drinking on complex pro gainer 2 times a day 1 scoop mix with water. I am following Jim Stoppani shortcut to size workout (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/shortcut-to-size.html)

My meals
Breakfast: nasi padang (2 curry chicken or rendang lembu)
Afternoon: Complex pro gainer + 3 half boil egg
Dinner: Pasta/Steak/Salmon
Supper: Complex pro gainer

I have been trying hard to eat more and increase my meals, can sifu please advise what I should buy on my next trip to supermarket? I know I need to buy oats, peanut butter, granola bars, milk, banana nut crunch, not sure what else and more importantly I'm not sure which brand to buy  sweat.gif

Also aside from food and ON Complex pro gainer, what supplements do you recommend for bulking?

I'm also wondering if ramly beef patty is good hehe.. I like those  drool.gif

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I saw a slight jerk when you pull the bar. If you have that, I would suggest you to fix that as I've seen a video a year ago where a deadlifter torn his bicep due to that jerk issue.

Guys I am really skinny, my body type is like those marathon runner. I used to jog alot too few years back.

Few months ago I tried to build my body, muscle dint appear much. Could it be because of my gene? my DNA?

Is it possible for a marathon runner body to build muscle? Build muscle as in like sprint runner body type, bulk and muscular.

1. Increase food intake.
2. If it fails, repeat no 1.

This not approve, what if built muscle on hands/legs but hands/legs still have fat?

If can then bagus thumbup.gif

Maybe should try to just shred the muscle in bicep without interrupting the fat at top level..

owai... what am I even talking? laugh.gif

Sounds like will work lah, but in reality might not because workout alot will burn most fats already...

Else makan till fat fat first then after that workout, then have excess skin. doh.gif

That is more easier to achieve rather than building muscle while keeping body fat low.

Most people will have 2 bodybuilding phase, bulking and cutting.

On bulking, you try to build muscle while keeping the fat low so that you wont need to have lots of fat to shred during cutting phase.
