yo darklight
been so long since u last active in the threads all over
found out u've been lepakking here
just wanna ask
u said ghetto gyms are the best place to get big cuz people there all big and being around big people gets u big (supported by jones in one of yous people banters... )
im now in ghetto gym in wangsa maju
and all i see these big people eat are rubbish jugak
they smoke and if i go club with them, also minum
in workouts, they tibai aje (of course la they do the splits) but they just do whatever they can
lets say 5 workouts for chest
and 6 workouts for triceps
and within one year, they body gets big too without the necessary supplements

and i thought normal split is chest+bicep

any comments?

ahaha
i quit terry's gym long time ago before i join gold's
terry was laughing at me due to my form...but like i said last time, never blamed him

anyway, at GOLD's, i discovered the true knowledge on pure free weights routine
and at the gym in wangsa maju, S2, Iron Gym, people there all big and if they are kurus, muscles are super defined...damn
but, when i ask them on the right form for e.g. Barbell Bent Over Rows, they'll say, "kau bend over, then tonggek, and then kao tarik barbell tu" and they added "oh aku tak tao pun name die bent over watever shit"...haha
i saw them doing Around the World, they said, "i dunno whats this, but i know it's the basic routine which built my traps"...
ahahaha
but most of them i see did like 4-5 workouts for each body parts till the relevant part go red...haha
oh well...
malu la jugak with some of them 45-50 year old guys looking like hulk hogan...haha

it was funny all these big guys...but they are the reason i could stay at the gym for 1.5-2.5 hours

anyway, i like the way you arranged ur diet
if only i could get up that early
haha

guys from both iron and the other, top gym (rm6) are all old customers to alpha gym

ego as in ego from egonutrition?
haha

yeah...
and they all kept getting bigger and bigger
and the only thing they took is muscle tech's nitro tech and cell tech
i asked bout other brands like BSN, muscle juices/milk or ON, they said "i dont care..."
ahahaha...
for the love of working out

im giving myself one year to build up anyway...go gym 5 days a week
and some workouts which my gym mate (master in silat, capoeira & taekwando) did, i jadi macam PA
sumtimes, add what Darklight is doing...plagiarizing his workouts for certain bodyparts

Added on May 1, 2008, 5:15 amdarkie, wats the significance of doing more sets?

This post has been edited by gtoforce: May 1 2008, 05:15 AM

well darkie, thats superb even for someone not intending to compete
haha...
and serious stuffs ur doing there
brape tahun dah u train eh? 3yrs? 5yrs?
and gambar tu gelap la...terangkan sket lagi...

so, on my question on more sets, ur saying ur way is the same as doing many workouts per body parts but keep it at 3-4sets (ur doing the best workouts for the rsome body parts but with more sets)

and what do u think of resting?
i experienced that for some workouts, im required to rest for 1-3 minutes cuz if i take the 30-90 sec, i cant do past 4 reps. but longer rest of course allows me to do 8-10
is it me weak or?

im easily bored everytime of the day
so i go like 5-7 days a week...
usually 4 days on 1 day off
the last day of the week is the less packed training

darkie, then they say 8 hours of sleep is it necessary for it to be 10-6 or 12-8?
i mean, i sleep at 3 or 4 and wake up at 11 or 12
its the same right?
or not?

damn right it has to be genetics
in my family, no one...i repeat that no one had ever got ripped/muscular in their whole life before
so im trying and hope to god will never retire...no matter the outcome
haha

darklight, im making impressive results for my arms, shoulders, and legs...
and strengths too
but my confidence is still hampered by the stupid love handles because they keep growing no matter what i do (as u know they are leftovers anyway)

what do i do?
start cutting?
some said i need to commence fat loss...
but its not like i take unhealthy fats now. and im in the gym for 2 hours and soaked in rain...
others said i need to do those isometrics exercises for the obliques
but i doubt it'll work if there are still fats there...

any ideas on that department?

i know
i cut bad carbs and oily food to a super low now (by making excuse to eat outside cuz food at home ultra thick oil - about 2-3cm thick of gravy in the pan is oil)
now, i eat egg whites (10 eggs per day), and low fat milk to the max (to shake with whey)
adoi la...my dad said its genetics that my family is endomorphs (every single person)
shucks...

my diet's kinda off for some people cuz i sometimes skip breakfast cuz wakeup late at 12pm some times at 2pm
haha

but its the usual...only take rice and other form of carbs 2hours before workout with enough supply of protein
and other times, keep protein high and low carb...
i cant really schedule my diet cuz i dont cook
so it depends on whats on the menu

yeah, i guess i need to get back to swimming...sheez
since i went to gym, havent been swimming for quite some time

Added on June 18, 2008, 2:23 amwat is the high octane video telling?

of course i read the whole thing...even bookmarked it
but there's this related video which i guess was an ad or i dunno what

darklite, we are very familiar with UN's Real Gains, Muscletech's Nitro Tech and BSN True Mass
but what do you think of this product by Muscletech called Anator P70?

thanks for the advice
i didnt get any of those...was looking out for opinions
i still have 3 tubs of whey to finish from 3 different brands anyway (all got cheap at different period of time respectively)

today doing back and want to do medium weights
and im beginning to understand the mind-muscle connection
one thing i learned is that, if one has that connection, even doing lat pulldowns with just pulling your hands simulating the wide grip bar felt like pulling the air with weights...i cant seem to get a grip on this yet but most of my gym mates never heard of this thing before...
haha

darklight
as milos sarcev said, if u failed on free weights there's always the machine cuz machine is basics and failing on machine would mean one is not ready for free weights

what do u think?
im struggling with my balance for incline barbell bench press (left hand or right hand overpowered each other that sometimes they go senget)...
i thought its the poundages
so i reduced from 50lbs per side to 20lbs per side...still tak balance
my gym mates suggested the smith or DB
what do u think?
i like BB cuz it gives more stress at the upper chest but someone gotta put one or two fingers at the middle BB so i wont go senget

thanx
been at the smith and DB now for quite some time
thanx for the advice
now im focusing on ur other advice as well that is to hit each targeted muscle for at least 20 sets

Added on July 1, 2008, 1:03 amoh and darklight, i've been going to the gym but lost sight of my splits

i've been doing shoulders / biceps splits all these while
is it right?

yo darklight, since im really into basics nutrition for having clean mass, i have some questions...did some research tapi am not satisfied

1) is creatine really a requirement for workouts? just wanna know if it really helps and usually what do u take it with? sirap? glucoline? tangs?

2) my friend nak beli whey cuz his is finishing. he's bored with ON 100% Gold Standard but thats he's been using all these while and since he asked, i just told him the basics. whey, fish oil, creatine, good diet and hardcore workout. since u are the pro, what other brand could u suggest? i gave him a list including, Nitrotech Hardcore, Syntha 6, Champion Nutrition and GNC. any ideas?

haha
then i'll tell him exactly that

ape la...jadi je la besar
ok what

give it a few months dude
make realistic goals not idealistic
get to know your body first before making goals u dont think u cant achieve
else you'll be dejected

btw darkie, one quick question
i like to change my routines every other week
like if week 1, my back routine is lat pulldowns (front), lat pulldowns (back), hammer grip pulldowns, cable rows, bb rows and lastly t-bar rows
and week 2 i terbalikkan the routine like start with barbell rows, t-bar rows, then go the machines etc....and then week 3 start again with week 1's, will it affect growth?

so darkie, bile nak masuk test and boldenone?
hahahaha
