hahah
tis is funny
of course if u compare a untrained 60kg and a 85kg guy..
the 85 kg guy should be stronger....
but if u compare an athletic 60kg guy and a slob of 85kg.... needless to say..

20kgs a side is not bad... i seem to have problem doing 30reps of 50kgs...

(3x10).... maybe i should increase weight and decrease rep..thats what i will do....but use the safety barbells......ill be damned if im stupid enough to allow the 70+ kg bar to fall on my chest.1!!

This is the Bodybuilding thread rite?

Unless your goal is to be a weightlifter or compete in a strongman competition, it doesnt matter how much weight u can lift. Whats important is that u are able to stimulate muscle growth. This is done by lifting the heavy to overload the muscles.

Though the catalyst for growth is strength, strength alone should not be a major concern. As long as you're progressively achieving good results in body aesthetics and bodymass, you're in the right path.

yeah, imo weights aren't really important.. for bb'ing my take on it is just push yourself to the limit and fight pain, exhaustion and just correct my form so im targeting the right muscle groups..

if you use your mind to conquer the pain, the gains will come!

yes.
u got to carry the weight according to ur ability.
if u feel the intensity with 10kg, then by all means, do so...
if u dont feel the intensity with it anymore, then increase.

I have read from MAX OT article which says, if u wanna stimulate muscle growth, u got to push it hard too.

Thats why i am trying 4-6 reps with intense weight.
Any more than 10 reps, i believe its just more to endurance. =.=
Haha... Everyone have their opinion. =.=

Well when muscle fatigue reaches its peak, even Professor Xavier with all his mind-power wouldn't be able to move that barbell an inch higher

The bar just stays there (bench press) or drops down. It can never go higher even though in my mind, I'm psycho-ing myself to complete that half a rep.

But of course, going into the gym with confidence that you can lift a certain amount of weight would be helpful.

I'm not sure whether the one in Uni is an olympic bar or not. But I know it's damn thick and heavier than the usual straight bar. @@

Or at least that's what the dudes tell me there.. but I don't think I can trust them XD

The genetic trace goes back to Genghis Khan. If I could find my genetics lecture, they did an analysis on a star cluster of Y-chromosome, the chromosome passed down from father to son. This star-cluster was traced back to Genghis Khan

Genghis Khan rampaged through the middle east effectively raping every woman in his way. So anyone from the east-middle east could have Genghis Khan ancestry.

Interesting stuff eh?

the one in mmu melaka uni, is 18kg.
where r u studying?

Nottingham University.

Genghis Khan?
I've read bout him on my school's notice board a few years back. They were praising him for this and that.

LOL.

All along I thought he was a hero.

he is one of the great conqueror. =.=
"Ganas". Thats a word i could describe him.
He is feared by everyone that time.

haha.. i wonder how he does it..

but if we were to do some math, lets say he had a virility of 40 years and assuming everyday he had some 'pleasure'.. thats 14600 pleasures he had.. most women are only fertile about 5 days a month..

so means 5/30 = 16.6% chance the women will get a baby.. so if every woman gave birth.. he'd get 2400 children.. back in the days, mortality rate of children was high, about 20-30% ?

so in total only 1700 children survived if he shagged everyday in the middle east for 40 years and assuming that every women will conceive on her fertile day (which also there is a chance she will not).. so that makes it kinda unlikely got a huge population with genghis khans genes ? lol..

Wow that's highly informative

Anyways, anyone ever hear ringing sound at the ears when you're lifting heavy?
Sometimes i get this ringing on the last rep or lifting near my max. Its dont happen all the time, just sometimes.

no, but when i do 1RM, especially deads, i thought my veins in my head and neck will pop open, and usually my face will turn red. haha


Chow

aaahhhhhhh. this explains my 24/7 horniness! good stuff mofonyx hahahahahahah.

hmmm..guys...how do u find ur 1 rep max.......... sorry ya...noob question again...... its a bit interesting.....how do u know ur 1 rep max is not ur 2 RM or your 6RM is actually ur 7RM?...different day ur RM can change what...

WOAH!
Cool!
Can you trace the roots of Peranakan people in Malaysia!!

Btw, Genghis Khan is a hero. To the Mongolians. Not to half the other population of the world where he conquered. If I remember correctly when I read my encyclopedia, he wanted to rule the world but died before he could. In the end, he still managed the biggest areas ever in history.

Back to topic though (Sometimes, this Mod title forces me to behave.....drat)

guys i wanna ask..
i just bought dymatize elite whey.. the flavor is pina colada.
from what i search on the internet they says that pina colada = pineapple with rum.
do u think it contains alcohol?
im a muslim.
i feel guilty.
hahaha

wow, got such flavour haha, i dun think it contains alcohol as it is bad for sports as it is a diuretic (urine alot) and also its empty calories..

but just to make sure, read the product label.. they have to say if its there.. well, at least u get to taste how pina colada taste like without breaking any rules rite..

thats what i tot too.
if it contains alcohol.
then it should not be advisable for sports nutrition supplement rite.
haha
well it is safe then.
haha
