i wish i can lose weight even without going gym. haha...
i think i will gain weight if i dont go gym for weeks.
coz of the fats i am going to accumulate.

u even said u lost 5kg.... gosh... i dont get it. hahaha....
i thought u would be gaining 5kg instead.
well, wats ur arms stat? 17 or 18 inch?

No offence to anyone. But I find this statement funny.

Hope i can match that in 2 months,current max for 5 reps is only 80kgs.

Thanx for the encouragement bro.

I think i am built for bench press,lol,first time trying to go heavy after 3 months today;
Warmup=40kgs
worksets:
1x20x50kgs
1x18x60kgs
1x16x70kgs
1x8x100kgs

That was without spotter,i definitely can go heavier with one.

Darkie, you don't deadlift often but you squat often right? I rarely barbell bench too.

I use barbell bench presses for warming up on chest days. Only dumbbells for worksets though.

I do barbell bench presses at times to give myself a little motivation by lifting slightly heavier than before. Even though it isn't much. 

Tried benching 70kg today. Managed 5 reps, but failed the 6th rep. I had to roll the bar on my stomach onto my legs cause there was nobody in the gym then. >_> Good thing I had just enough strength left in me to do that. I don't think I'll be repeating that. 

You are strong... So far my 1RM is 80kg. Tried the other day after my back workout and a few sets of barbell bench presses. Gonna try afresh next day.

How much do you dumbbell press darkie? I think I saw ur vid before and there was a heck load of plates. Like Ronnie Coleman. XD.

What is the difference between rotating the dumbells while going down and not doing it?

hmm..actually i dont to ATG... somhow in between ATG and half squats i think.... my but is on the same plane as my quads which are parrelel...  ..even 50 kgs this way...dem man...not easy....

if i do it on the safety bar then i would dare do more.......... yea.... need lots of work on my damn calves...aargh..

As long as you're going below parallel, iz all gud

Will the body give you signal when your training is going to be unproductive/counterproductive ? When you are training that is ...

I've been pushing myself too far to continue lifting even if my body doesn't allow me ... When body runs out of energy, should we stop lifting completely or just reduce the poundage so that you can continue lifting ?

Guise,

Just wondering, what is the best muscle workout combination?

I always do chest and tricep, and I think it is effective because whenever I do chest, my tricep also koyak. But some guise commented that, I should do chest and bicep. What do you guise think? Does it matter? My workout program I took from bb.com and I think it is effective. But I already breakdown, the back, bicep and forearm. Back today, then bicep and forearm next day.

I think this is also important, whether you can grow bigger or not.

haha... zeist... ego doesnt pays off most of the time.
u will suffer instead. =.=
body building is all bout feel, not bout how much u lift.
u want to lift heavy, then powerlifting suits u more. =.=
hehe...

sometimes me myself want to do some heavy load after seeing some arrogant idiot doing stupid form with heavy weights. but i kept telling myself, no point being ego... later injured, sendiri susah... =.=
haha...
got to learn to leave my ego at home when i get to the gym... =.=
hehe...

Wouldn't it be better if shoulders day on Wednesday ? When I did shoulders I feel the soreness in my arm too ... afraid that it will affect my arm day ... I'll feel the pain in my forearm no matter how hard I try to maintain the form when I do lateral raise. The next day when I'm doing hammer curls they kill my arms 

Today I tried 50lbs dumb bell bench press fun, after 5rep, my left hand terus fall, damn dangerous. Got spotter, else I can't even lift the dumb bells up. Guess I'll just play until max 50lbs for now. 60lbs not so soon.

40lbs, 45lbs and 50lbs.

Nais.

Some exercises 10kg also koyak.

Like side lateral raise, if I use 15lbs, I also struggle a bit. Better to pick the exercises that best suit you. Don't main follow only (monkey see, monkey do). Follow according to your level.

Ok guise(s). Actually I tarak show my ego in the gym. For the past 6 weeks, I'm doing 25lbs and 30lbs dumb bell bench press, so I think it is time for me to increase some weight. From 30lbs to 50lbs in just 2 weeks may be too much, but I think is just nice for me. Don't worry guise(s), I won't go more than 50lbs for the next 2 - 3 months. Because when I do 40lbs to 50lbs, I can feel the pain around my wrist area. So I don't want to take the risk if I do more than 50lbs when I can't.

Leg press I just started doing 280kg last week and this week I do 250kg max, can't feel the koyak orgasm much. So I will be doing max 300kg for now. I know my legs can take it, nothing to do with me ego. Also will not go more than 300kg for the next 2 - 3 months.

Arabian guy very friendly and willing to teach. He iz a nais guy, really. Unlike those posers. If you guise wanna meet him, let me know. I still haz 3 FREE GUEST PASS. He might be leaving back to UK anytime, I don't know. He workout alone here, no gym buddy. But nobody dare to fcuk around with him.

I will post my full workouts with weight effort soon, to let you guise to look see look see me effort. Please comment.

I need to change to FF Passport Membership soon. Working in KL nao, probably will be at Menara Maxis or Menara MBF. Menara Axis maybe too.

Nite guise(s) and don't rape each other, will post it when I'm free. Tomorrow onwards I will be posting lesser.

If you feel pain at your wrist area between 40-50lbs, why are you still continuing? Cuz obviously thats not the objective of presses.  You can't make such a drastic change in weight, its the same example as your deadlift, if your lower back can take 150kg, doesn't mean your quads, or grip can. If your pecs can take the weight of 50lbs, doesn't mean your wrists or triceps can.
I started out pressing 22lbs about a year ago when I first started, now I'm only pressing 45lbs. 10 x 3sets incline, 10 x 3 sets flat.

Btw you can do 280kg leg presses but not 70kg squats? Very weird indeed. Maybe you could do more squats?

Not trying to shoot you down bro, just giving friendly advice, same goes from all the other forumers.

Take it slow.Er.

I'm...improving slowly =P.

Finally going back into the TPM gym =P

Intensity should be prioritized, not the weight of the bar you're lifting. I would rather be a dude with 15" arms curling 15lbs than a dude with 10" arms curling 30lbs.

Nice traps you got there man.

Lost some weight and am now down to 93kgs,i actually thought i would look better but my i lost some fat on the chest and now it kinda sticks out,really need to start doing decline presses.

Been wondering, what're you guys' opinions on barbell rows and DB rows?

Thats the best part bro,they look great relaxed and wicked when flexed.

I've been a lot of incline presses using smith and dumbells,the bottom part looks kind of shapeless,decline will concentrate on that part right?

Don't the fibers all run in the same direction?

"Let's say they can do 40lbs x 10 for 4 sets. They try a 45 pounder next week for a set and get in 8 reps but they can't do 2-3 more sets with the 45's, that's not progression, that's deluding themselves."

<--- Ouch! Ter-rasa T.T ... but i guess i learn something new here. Thanks for sharing.

But that being said... how long should we stay in the 40lbs then? WHEN can we go to 45lbs?

So, uhh, which d'you side more to? DBs or barbells?

I'd go for once a week, with super high intesity. Good example being legs. 

my porn just arrived
