Porky said you don't always have to go ATG in all your squat sets. You try going ATG on a narrow stance and you risk not squatting again ever.

who's porky?
i will try and mix it up abit do both

i read and creatine usually la...used after workout
but like what musclemass said, a matter of preference

losing overall bodyfats leads to the fact on doing cardio and more on filling up ur body with protein right?

Added on May 14, 2007, 10:12 amoh yeah
i intend to post up a workout journal
but later when i really have the time to put things down

b4 that, im looking to build up my upper body first before i do my love handles...
is that okay? cuz i think if i have leaner and stronger shoulders and chest,they cover up the look first...haha
and then the arms as well
but i also doubt such plan is a good plan...
i intend to do a whole body workout day per day

the f***ed up thing is, i only have thursday to sunday to workout
what do u guys think?
maybe u guys cud make up certain workout plan for me...and i do the math on the food intake
cuz im dead bored with the plan the instructors made for me (which later on they left me at my own devices...which is good)
haha

tu burn more than what i eat in a day la
okay
i understand

about building the upper bod,
my legs aint broomstick
they are stocky already since i used to run and swim last time

anyways, im posting up a journal tonight
with some pics...
im calling it a journal of newbie cuz i want to start fresh...
seriously, cuz with the four days consecutively to workout in a week, i dunno what to put in...
need some suggestions later on towards what i need to do to improve my body in those pics of my sad self   
hahahaha
hope ur goodselves can help me design a workout...discipline is easy for me
knowledge je kurang

oh
thanx dude
i think the max-ot is really a powerful tool
i mean i told the gay buffed up dude that i tot its better to have minimal reps with heavy weights
he said no need...just try those that cud keep u up til 10
hahaha
my karate friend had been using max-ot all this while when i told him this evening...darn
but he's short
hahaha

Hey guys btw erm can you teach me how to not get big size...if i consume protein ..i might be like a giant with my height....and haha i just want a normal guy body....but if i dont drink protein ..muscles wont grow rite....hmm so complicated..i dont wanna be the hulk..or like spartans ...just fit and look muscular

to get big, go workout...
protein is not necessarily taken in liquid solutions...
there are many people out there who got ripped/big without all the supplements...
they eat right...at the right time...
like fish as the best source of protein...or soy
even if u take protein, without the necessary moves in exercise or workouts, muscles still wont grow
and, if u tak exercise, the protein will later on turn to fats...
as for me, i wanna look ripped, but if i failed in one or 2 years, hell...i'll just get fit from the inside...aha

and according to one of the darklight's posts, its not complicated...to get big...
its all common sense

Added on May 18, 2007, 9:50 pmso much drool in here

*mops floor*

no
yes

What I mean is, why the overemphasizing bench presses for powerlifters? Yea you move alot of weight in benches, but.....they ain't "functional" ya get me?

You see deadlift related events in strongman (ramp walk), you see squat related events in strongman (keg lift), you see arm related events in strongman (almost everything) you see overhead related events in strongman (timber toss, log press)

Yet nothin on chests. Fucntional strength .....no so much there

Well my friend. That's because you're looking at things from a powerlifter's perspective. Bodybuilders do it differently. You can still build an aesthetically pleasing physique without deadlifts and even, there i say, without squats. Dorian Yates never squatted, neither did Wong Hong. It's all a matter of different goals.

NOOO~~~ arhghh..............................

i give up.....bleh!

1. u STILL can milk a lot of gains from rippetoe's i believe, if you were consistent. you can!

2. if you're in madcow, you won't squeeze the gains so fast. btw, n00b gains don't last forever. squeeze it while you can.

3. madcow's a long term programme. 6 months, no surprise. if you can't keep doin rippetoe's for even 2 months, how consistent can you promise yourself to be with a six month programme?

4. MADCOW said DON'T FCUK with the programme. Here you say you wanna supplement the main exercise with db/cable/machine. I consistently followed 5x5 like religion for 2 months, no fcukups. No switching.

Chances are i'll see u in a club more than a gym.
