do you guys strictly follow the interval rest period between set ie 60-90s rules? how effective is that since normally I hang out quite a while before proceed next set haha

if u r serious in changing your life, u show it in your workout. resting too long between sets makes u lose the intensity.

not really, depend on my energy level during workout day. but normally i try to strict to 60-90s. best don't too long. unless u want hang out in gym for few hours..

Normally this is the general guideline used n accepted:

Cardio routine (12-15+ reps) = 1-2 minute rest
Muscle building routine (6-12 reps) = 2-3 minute rest
Strength n power routine = 3-5 minute rest

I guess I don't have intensity when i rest 3-5 mins between sets with for eg. weighted dips of 100kg + BW.

Lol, messing with ya kaniaz. I agree rest sets shouldn't take too long but not too short till one is winded.

So if you're working out one day, and suddenly see the squat rack loading itself with 240lbs........

b**** lol

Lol thanks. Now fat back adee.

Im gonna stop when im 39.76 years old


Well for me not so strict. But I do avoid conversations with others while in a session. Generally quite long for heavy compounds and relatively short for accessory work.

LOL SEI TROLL GO BACK TO WHERE U BELONG!

Guys, should i train obliques? I'm currently in bulking phases, bodyfat i estimate 13-14%. Wondering you guys opinion

errr meaning higher bf no need to train abs?

Facebook chat. Annoying chick from my list starts pm'ing me all of a sudden when I'm not in the best of moods.

Her : I'm so pissed!
Me : Why?
Her : My colleagues called me chubby and said I'm putting on weight!
Me : Uh huh....
Her :Dunno why they so mean. Why people so bad nowadays?
Me : That's cos you're actually fat?


Hmm....... no reply till now.

should give positive confrontation words, ask her go do exercise, running, jogging...

Ouch! Is she actually fat or you just PMSing?

Feel abit bad lah reading the exchange She must have been expecting some reinforcement that she wasn't fat and not gaining weight and maybe b**** about her colleagues. Oh well... Ask a question and there is an answer~ Hope she takes it in stride.

Unfortunately for her both.

Well then perhaps your straight forwardness will make her realize she needs to shrink abit if she doesn't want such honesty. She more likely went in search of someone else to whine to about her mean colleagues and horrible fb friend tho

And you need a cookie *gives you an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie* My fav. If we ever meet in person I will give you one Although when I PMS I eat like a dozen...

I do train abs at the end of each workout. Obliques not much, just go with the flow. I see some rumors says only train obliques after getting a low bf or else your waist will look bigger? That's why i'm wondering ._.

No. If I wanted to be positive i would say she's horizontally enhanced but i was too lazy to type so many letters so i just said fat.
