Hey guys, where can I find a 2lb tub of whey protein? I searched musclemaniaclub and they only have the 5lb ones. I'm kind of on a budget so I need a smaller one for now. Any recommendations would be appreciated

Damn it, Im getting too fat off my bulk. Losing stamina and running out of breathe much faster than usual. Is it a good idea incorporating cardio into my routine...? Something like 20 minute cycling?

Hi guys, a question regarding squats, is it normal if I cant go below parallel when doing squats?

Doing 5x5 with low bar squats and shoulder width stance but check the form and I noticed knees passing toes and could not go below parallel, should I do high bar squats instead? with narrower stance. confused about the whole low bar/wide stance & high bar/narrow stance squats.

Exact same issue here, I try to go as low as I can but I just cant go below parallel.

Had I known that was you, I'd have come for an autograph. biggrin.gif

Anyway, I tried protein powder + creatine + coffee as a preworkout. Man, that was one hell of a pump it gave me through my workout. Going to make this a temporary home-made preworkout. biggrin.gif

I understand that form > weight. However, if I can actually perform the exercise with 8-10 strict reps at 18kg. I up 2kgs to 20kg, I think that's slow enough sad.gif

I prolly need to change my mindset a lil. I'm always thinking about reps. (GOTTA HIT 12 GOTTA HIT 12 GOTTA HIT 12). I should of just go with how many times I can.

Thanks man.
In this regard, I'm actually unclear of this. Is BB BOR the same as one arm DB rows? (same as in the same muscle group worked)

This is my program. I usually do back first before moving to arms, I tried switching it up yesterday as I felt that I haven't progressed much on my arms. What do you think of the volume? Are some of them redundant? Thanks man..

Chin up 3x8reps
DB curls 2x12reps
Hammer curls 1x12reps
BB BOR 3x8reps
One arm DB row 2x12reps
CG lat pull down 2x12reps
BO rear delt fly 3x8reps

Any particular reason you do your curls first? I often feel I cant perform as well on my compounds if I do isolation exercises before. Btw, I found that using straps helps a lot with DB rows, keeps a tight grip and prevents you to stop due to forearm exhaustion. Also, are you sure you're not just experincing Lat soreness after your set?

Hi guys, I've been using nutritiondata.self.com all these while to track in depth on various micro-nutrient composition of meals. However lately it's been abit glitchy and slow. Tried going through other sites like myfitnesspal and fitday but they're just for macros and calories, not in-depth at all.

What do you guys use? Any recommendations?

A look into how detailed it goes, as below. Can even set your personal %DV for each micronutrient.

You can try MyFitnesspal. Its a pretty popular website/app for this purpose.
