Squatting again today. Not as impressive as returning to deadlifts. I could still feel a slight ache around the trochanter from the bursitis, indicating that I'm not fully okay yet. So I worked my way up to a pathetic 90kg and stopped when the ache was prominent enough.

Another week of diclofenac and we'll see how it goes.

If someone wants to compile a list of all the all-you-can-eat buffets in KL, though, that would be fantastic. Yummers.

Check out fireman steamboat at the curve.. Pretty decently priced. all you can eat at 20MYR if im not mistaken

I just had the most massive cramp in my left calve of my lifetime.

SODAP nampak sial!

The last time i went there...i had 25 plates of beef. all by myself...talk about pigs?

Btw what happened to Andrew, our 320KG leg press champion?

While we are on the topic of leg pressing, my gym leg press machine is kinda weird. Its like u have to keep one leg straight while the other leg presses. As in there's two "pressing thingies" instead of one. And the angle of the body lying down bruises my traps everytime. Cz my traps are the only thing keeping me from being pushed back. Anyone's gym's leg press machine is like that?

Its probably the safety lock thing. Also try adjusting the seat.

hehehheheheh.....all guys are playing kaki ka today??
i want to play shoulder but too full..have to play leg as a change...
and not squating also...since i started..today is the most "takda semangat"....
why la..haish....

there should be a pin in between the two bars/leg pedals that gives you the option to tie the two together or have them separate.

I have used similar machines before, it should be somewhat similar to the one you are referring too.

My coach and I have this absolute HATE when people say "Hari ni, aku main chest"
HOH my god, my coach flipped one time this athlete said "Coach, hari ni nak main apa?"

You're training for a purpose. Play or "main" does not have a direct purpose or direction.
Also it makes you sound terribly "kampung"

Pizzaboy, lie down and stop hyperventilating.

I always eat chicken breasts without the skin, I only eat drumsticks when there's no chicken breast.

About the rice, how much is enough? I usually ask the person to give me "small" rice.

I have tuna with me, in fact I just had a whole tin of tuna in water for supper just now.

Now my next supp purchase is going to be casein. I just realised I've wasted my money on BCAA capsules which only 0.9g of BCAA per capsule. not even 1g!!! A scoop of whey has 5.5g of BCAA in it. Sheeh! Not sure if I'm suppose to buy creatine, because I don't think and feel it has any effect on me, it only makes me look bloated and chubby.

Where can I get green tea/green tea extract? Is it sold in Jusco?

I've been taking my whey with honey for my preworkout meal for the past 2 months, coz I read honey is a slow digesting carb and it's easier to consume and easier to prepare. Right now I'm pretty much addicted to honey. Sometimes I'm late and too lazy to mix whey with my oatmeal and milk for preworkout.

Creatine seems to have different results on different people. Some people react within a week of creatine noticing good weight gains. I find them almost pointless. Another reason to have creatine for ADHD people, is because creatine is said to help hyperactive people focus. I don't know how true it is, but oh well...whatever. I'll take it.

pizzaboy, what is the most important supplements used by weightlifters?
u guys dont really go on high protein diet aite~

Chow

Oh man.....let's see. IT depends on a few factors. Off the hand, I can remember;

- Bodytype
- Phase
- Goals
- Workout programming
- Injuries
- Nutrient deficiency

Depending on which phase you are, for example if you're in the strength phase. Some athletes with the meso bodytype cannot take excess protein'ey foods or they will gain weight in the form of muscle. In this case, to up recovery, we drop one meal, and replace that with a protein shake. Low calories and has BCAA, glutamine, essential amino acids. The key word here, isn't how much protein. It's simply, density.

The almost basic one which every weightlifter SHOULD have (but often, don't. It's a poor man's sport)

- HCA
- Protein powder (for recovery, and cuz of density)
- Creatine (It doesn't help me, but it could be the wrong type. I'll try another)
- Fish oil (Extremely important)
- Multivitamins (Some require 2x the amount of the average "serving" size because of recovery time and training intensity)
- Test (No seriously, if I could use test, I'd gladly do it. Decrease recovery time, increase capacity, strength. What's not to love?)

For locals, some in Sarawak, Sabah, Northern states of Malaysia, even use long jack. Tongkat ali'lah. The problem with tongkat ali is that it tastes, horribly bitter. I mean, it's truly the most bitter thing I've ever tasted. Think bittergourd? Multiply that by 7 or 8 times. You can't take the silly "in a packet" types. You gotta use the pure roots.

One point though, Western and Asian methods of supplements and recovery, are extremely different. You can clearly see which is the dominating force though. Don't forget, Russia IS in Asia. Depending on how you look at it, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, are also part of Asia.

hahha..i should said i trained or develop chest muscle??

hard also to be a weight lifter ek...cannot have excess muscle just to stay on the proper weight category..
cannot eat that much and still have to lift that heavy when training...

Anybody know what is this exercise known as?

Use a weight plate, lifting it from the knee level to shoulder level.

Like using the kettleball swings. Tried that last night, not easy.
