It's not a six pack. It's just a flat layer of soft tissue with no strength. LOL

I never buy stuff from cold storage unless I cannot find them elsewhere, things are way overpriced in there.

The best price you can get for HL Milk is at jusco. Buy their twin pack, 2 x 1L packs for RM8.59~

Oh man, my last workout is on Saturday and today my quads sore like hell.

too bad nowadays thugs. comes with knifes.. or some damaging weapon...
u kno .. how much effort,time, money is spent on your body... u'll know how to love it and avoid from those..

okay guys, what's the most effective exercise to train forearms using dumbbells?

U remind me of the MR Selangor who used to train in my gym

Hair is made from keratin, a type of protein. So when you guys go for a hair cut, do you guys feel all the protein you've eaten have gone to waste?

Is it so hard to look for it yourself? You were given a site listing exercises for nearly every single muscle in your body in your thread.

y u

he mobbed?

compared to hl.... how is dutch lady.... giant was having an offer last month... 1 pack of 1 litre milk for RM2.99.... i bought 6 hahahhaha...... and its not expiring soon also... FULL cream milk..

I've just received some 'unconventional' nutrition and exercise advice today:
(pizzaboy, can you ask your coach about these pointers whether they make sense? Because they certainly don't make any sense to me. LOL!)

1) Drinking whey in between set during workout will put the proteins to waste. It's better to take isotonic drinks. Post workout should be something with carbs (milk, bananas, eggs), then a few minutes later---whey protein.

2) Don't take protein stuff immediately after waking up. Take some carb (fruits, honey, bread, rice, porridge, etc) or chinese style soup. Then take protein (eggs, milk, whey, etc) 1/2 to 1 hour later.

3) Chin up works the triceps instead of the biceps.
Well I have lots of respect for the gym owner, but this one I can't accept.

Braindead,
HL is low lactose. Probably that's why it's more expensive. If you're not lactose intolerant, then it doesn't matter much to you.

Did the statements come with reasons as well? Especially the third one.

I think the gym owner meant that the triceps are part of the worked muscle but they are there to act as a synergist nothing more. Well I hope thats what he meant.

Another possibility would be the gym owner might recognize the chinups as a pullup vice versa. I think this is a common issue, therefore as long as he knows what he's doing I don't see a problem with that as well.

Heck he is a gym owner, i'm assuming he at least knows a fraction about training , give that soul the benefit of doubt

Oh, fair enough in that case. ._.

Errr... no reasons given.
I like the gym lady, and have lots of respect for her. And she treats me very well with discounts and freebies, so I don't feel nice arguing with her.

Like I said, it didn't make sense to me. Maybe I go do an experiment with her next time.
I'll thrash my triceps with kickbacks and what nots, and do Chin ups. Then I'll thrash the biceps with curls. And try the chin ups again. LOL! Maybe then she'll believe me. If not, perhaps I can add an inch to my arms?
-----
Anyway, that's not the main point.

How about #1 and #2?
Does it make sense to you guys?

I believe she MIGHT have a point about "no protein immediate after bed". Eating high protein can cause some mucus build-up along the esophagus (and perhaps all the way to the small intestine). [well this is purely anecdotal, because it happens when I drink milk or whey, I can feel it in my throat]

Could this be a cause for concern?

where did u get the stuff on the statements from 1-3?
they sound weird although not absolutely wrong...just weird

Dutch lady especially at that offer price is an awesome deal.

However you should get the Low Fat packs next time, they have more protein per serving and well, Less Fat(and carbs).

My take on this

1). AS we r working out, blood will generally flows to the muscle where they are needed most. Thus, this will drastically slow down ur digestive system. If u take whey doing workout, ur body might not digest it on time to put it to use. Therefore it's better to go for something that hydrates the body or something simple that require little digestion (eg BCAA). Taking carb is valid for postworkout. This one u may google urself. Plenty of info out there. About the arrangement of consumption. Read below. I suspect it's for the same reason.



2)As we wake, our body is deprive of all sorts of nutrients. Carb is easier to digest in comparison to protein. Therefore it will provide a quick boost. Moreover, it's better to consume carbs in the morning which will provide energy throughout the entire day.Plus ur insulin will not spike as easily compare to other meals coz ur system is already lack of sugar to start with. Taking it later in the day might promote fat storing.

That's right. For some unfathomable reason, the DL low fat reconstituted UHT milk has a few grams more protein.
