i saw dumbell with 2.25kg before

got 2 types of barbell... i think one is 20 one is lighter

A standard oly bar should be 20kgs!

Not less than that!

You mean the shorter bar? (I can't remember if it's 15 or 18kg)

That's not an oly barbell, that's a retard-bar. Short and retarded... like me! X^D

mostly i a agree.. but cardio should not be done immediately after of prior weight training. Cardio would drain your energy..after all, it is called weight training.. u should be able to lift the weight with 100% effort. So for me at least cardio is on off training days.

so means go for cardio after lifting burns more fat? given i still can run after that

thanks dude

I agree with you. I do my cardio on the days I don't weight-train.

if u weight lifting for the day, go full blast on that.
if u cardio, then go full blast.

i believe the result will be better this way. but u got to rest well too.
good diet and good rest is another key to success. =.=

If you plan to do your cardio after workout, it should be slow cardio.

There is no need to perform the explosive HIIT because the glycogen supply in your muscles are already running low so any cardio thereafter would use mostly your fat storage as an energy source.

I always do my 30 mins cardio after weights.

Before weights, 10 mins cardio as warm up.

As for your workout. IMO it's better to do cardio before weight training. But you will perform poor when lifting because tired from the cardio. If can, do cardio not on lifting day or on weekends.

wat is IMO..wat does it mean

Not so. One should try not to perform cardio even as a warm up prior to weight training because it depletes ATP. IF you want to warm up, the principle of specificity applies. Let's say chest workout, the first exercise is the bench press, warm up with the bench press, light weight. Same applies to squats, back, etc.

help help
wat is atp or imo thingey

It's gonna take some time to explain but you'll probably forget about it. So let's just say ATP are like mana points to spend on your workouts. So save them for important work.

darklight missed out the more important explanation

IMO = in my opinion.

Good one la dude =)

There is always google as well.

atp - adenosine triphosphate is used by muscles to generate movement/lift things etc. basically once atp is used, it is regenerated by aerobically (breathing in oxygen) and anaerobically (not enuff o2 in your body and also can be enhanced by creatine)..

thats why when bb'ers take creatine it gives them more energy for bursts of power.. bb'ing mostly uses anaerobic energy as it is bursts of heavies rather than say marathon which needs long sustained energy.. thats why marathon runners have a HUGE lung capacity, to take up more oxygen..

but as darklight said, it is our mana pool to cast magical spells on enemies such as barbells and dumbbells

Thats some entertaining way of explaining bb-ing terms. lol

Eh, GNC has permanently reduced the prices for their products wei!
I find this a bit hilarious. After so long only they realise their products are over-priced and less & less people are buying from them.

ON Whey is 248 for non-members and 200 for members. Still not the cheapest, but at least it's not crazy.

Must be the financial crisis, and people getting sick of the insane prices. X^D

200 for member?
i guess a lot of member will get it then coz buying from lyn is also rm200 with delivery. =.=
haha... but again, lets see how it goes. =.=

its competitions that make them realize
