2 litre? you might be kidding me.

me at least drink a gallon of water, otherwise i will thristy like hell

It's better today. Had just a single occurrence today in the lats while go-karting. It's interesting, but doesn't the body get electrolytes out of food? Do you find electrolyte supplementation helpful as a BB'er? I do drink about 2 liters of bottled mineral water a day. (Less yesterday) Nobody visits the loo more often than me in the office.

yeah, bro me too. 1 big mineral water bottle 1.5 litre only. one time drink also like can finish the 1.5litre bottle. 2 litre the whole day ROFLMAO where got enough man. you cutting water for contest izzit?

No, no, I'm not a competitive BB'er. Just someone wanting to gain strength and put on lean mass.

Drinking lots of water at once would lead to a beer belly, no? I had this German intern once who looked great except his stomach was jutting out from under his ribcage. No gut, but overextended stomach.

dude, a beer belly is caused from excessive fat around the midriff. fat meaning visceral(fat that are around your organs) and subcutaneous(under you skin) or the other way round im not too sure. dont really have to drink one shot 1.5litre la. thats just me bcos i am always so dehydrated and my daily routine needs me to walk around campus alot. just drink up to a gallon of water but keep sipping and sipping, not on one go.

After watching Bigger, Stronger, Faster over the weekends...

Does it mean JAy CutleR, Ronnie..etc etc all take steriods? That seems to be the implication(Effects of being an american)..

Interesting video indeed

EDIT: I spelt Cutler as Cutlet =.=

registery editior ...

beer belly is actually one of the expressions of ascites...its is the accumulation of fluid in the peritonial cavity..

one of the pathologies is when liver cirrhosis happens(due to alchohols consumption), the flow of blood into the liver in the hepatic portal artery is obstructed, this creates a backflow pressure that increases the hydrostatic pressure in the artery. in turn this forces out blood which form tissue fluid (minus the erythrocytes and whatever).... this tissue fluid is forced into the peritoneal cavity and WHOOSSH....your beer belly...

it can be temporarily cured by drainage..but..it will reoccur because the underlying cause is not resolved.....

today is see someone benching 100kg alone...damn...

that damn heavy...pergh..first time seeing it here....

lets say if someone is benching on the machine...how much is the different in weight and force to push if compare to free weight??

or if he can bench 100kg on machine,he still can do it on free weight...??

You should kow tow him. That is sure heavy.

usually one can lift more on machine lifts because there's no need to spend extra energy balancing the bar as needed when training with free weights.

at one point of time,before I started doing free weight bench presses, I could bench 95lbs on the machine and only manage 50lbs using free weights.. lol

should be around 85kg +-

doing machine is MUCH more easier than free weight lo

and i ask the heaviest he can bench..he said 115 kg..

but he is not ripped and can be consider fat....im very amazed...i ve seen them push it with his dad..but can be consider 2 people pushing...but t his time alone....100kg..8 rep...damn....

im gonna try 60kg tomorow..been stuck at 55kg around 2 weeks

it's normal la bro stucked for 2 weeks...go slow...how do you count those 55kg btw ?? 20kg plates x 2 + oly bar ?? same with me lor...been stuck more than a month edi...haha

How heavy is the smith machine barbell ? and wat about the ezbar ? sorry still newbie =(...hope u guy won't call me ballbangers for not googleing...i tried my best to google but only found out that oly barbell weighs around 20kg...
