What should I buy to start? I did google HIIT but guess what, "Problem loading page" and youtube return me "An error occured. Please try again later".

Start by reading here.

Then find a program that works for you. From there, see whether you still want to buy or not.

I was thinking of getting a Smith machine actually

HIIT is high intensity interval training.. its when you do an exercise with moderate to high intensity like 80% of your effort.. then you follow with rest or slower intensity..then you go back to 80% effort.. what type of exercise depends on what your creativity example:

sprint up hill - high intensity
slowly jog downhill - recover period
sprint back up hill - high intensity
slowly jog downhill - recover period..repeat and faster as you get better

or

prisoner squat x 30
pushup x30
shoulder press x 30
rest 2 minutes and repeat circuit..use weights and more reps as u progress

Firefox can't find the server at www.bodybuilding.com. That's why I ask. I'm not a spoon feeding type.

Up hill and downhill are quite impossible due to the weather here. Raining everyday, and I stay at log camp road which means dirt road all the way.

Anyway, can try the second option but the repeat, fuh... Thanks mate.

Maybe the server down

Not saying you need spoon feeding also.

You stay in a log camp? Man, you can train lifting logs!

Not server down but problematic satellite internet. Usually people who ask without searching for common topic are spoon feeding. So I explain before I'm marked.

Anyone take meat (chicken, beef) pre bed or late night? Is it ok for it? I'm bulking at the moment.

Been not taking whey (or any protein supp) in awhile. I'm having minor difficulty with protein source for supper / pre bed meal.

No problem.

Thanks Dan. Will keep up with the meat, and going to stock a tub of whey or two for convenient purpose.

new bb here..mind explain why dont use strap when doin deadlift? i just start my deadlift this year and always use straps.

by not using straps, you will train your grip, hence will make your forearm grows big

So does it mean that, for both forearm and back development, we would be better wif switching up deadlift between raw and using straps

I do not have a strap until now. Everything is raw.

I think I could use a strap. Click Here

The usage of straps allows you to lift slightly heavier weights on your deadlift compared to raw grip, hence forcing your body to recruit more muscle fibers from the back/hamstring and less from the forearms.

In short, I feel it's best to switch it up.

But it really depends on yourself, if you feel your forearms could use a little beefing and your grip is sub-par (your grip will affect the strength of other exercises as well, particularly those involving dumbbells), then by all means, forgo the straps.

If you feel like placing more emphasis on your back and hamstrings, go for straps.

Thanks durian, I can't neglect the small muscles while being genetically weak in them (forearm, wrist, calves)
But at beginner stage, I think I should put more focus on the bigger muscle group. So I would get a strap for next back routine
And also stick to direct forearm training I been doing all the while, with some raw DL as usual.

Hey guys, I recently being relocate to Sg. Long near UTAR campus. Is there any gym at Sg. Long UTAR campus?

Thanks!

to build muscle faster, whey or meat is better ?

Whey in addition to meat.

proper diet is better. You can drink 20 scoops of whey but if you fail to consume the required amount of calories to build them muscles, you'll stay small

What do you guys do for legs? I do about 5 sets of squats and some leg curls, my body completely gives up after that, cant go any further. Do you guys think thats enough for a leg workout? Ps my squat reps are around 8-10
