with a spotter at least u know u r a little safer.
i always get a spotter once i hit 100kg above.
just to be safe coz i scared i screw up and ended up hurting myself from the fall.

Yeah true. Just take it with a tiny grain of salt.

Eh, I downloaded Jay Cutler's Video: New, improved and Beyond videos...i know that video is old...but cool to see him workout day....rest and eat and workout again at night


Now to download other BB videos to watch haha. Hope to find some ronnie coleman ones.

After I do the dips and pushups, I feel that the middle of my collar bones ache for like 3-5 seconds. Then the ache dissipates. It's as if something pulled on the collar bones then released it.

It's always like this since I started working out.

Does anyone feels the same?

Digressing...

During and post ~!

ops, didnt know the down side, just get a lil excited aft reading it. Thx for the correction, else i will be like a dam fool going to gym day and night .

LMAO @ soft language

I have to agree with darklight on this, training twice a day is not a good idea. If you're looking a way to shock your muscles to get out of the plateau, just change your reps, or do dropsets etc.

Noob here. I just started to workout and i want to ask do i need to consume whey on non-workout day? Thanks in advance.

hehe i m just curious .

yes u need

Yeah, but it ain't optimal bro. You'd be losing muscle.

Haha, I just met JonYeap a few hours ago.

Thanks.

Same here. It happens when I either lean too much forward or if my right side is oddly placed (the pain only happens there as I'm a righty) when doing machine dips. I suspect it's wrong and happens when in an effort to get my shoulders flared out and working out the chest. It doesn't happen as often as it did as I've corrected my form but when occasionally it does, it's a real painful sensation.

shoulders flared out? I'm sure you mean elbows flaring out to hit the chest with a wider (maybe slightly diagonal) grip.

My goodness, I'm getting my body parts messed up. Dayum. Thanks, mofonyx.

haha... chris, u r almost double of me.
u r huge! =.= and u said u lost 5kg... gosh...
hahaha...

Having just started body building a month ago, I have got a lot of questions. Especially the diet part. I hope some of you here wouldn't mind to help me a little on this.

And also, having just started working, I can't afford supplements. Not every month at least. Anyway, here's how my usual diet look like:

Morning:
4 half-boiled eggs (all egg whites + only 2 yolks)
A glass of milk
2 slices of bread + a slice of cheese

or

Milk + cereal (usually POST cereal, but definitely not Coco Crunch, etc.)


Afternoon:
Mixed rice (vegetables + chicken or beef)

or

Chicken Rice (with extra chicken meat - breast meat, minus skin)


Night:
Chicken Rice (with extra chicken meat - breast meat, minus skin)

or

Whatever I can find...but usually some rice with extra chicken.


While I am quite certain the diet is OK, i am not very sure if the nutritional value is good enough. Also, I'd definitely need more variety to my meals as I'd be getting bored of them very soon. I have stopped all types of junk food (McD's, chips, fizzy drinks, etc.) and oily & fattening food (fried stuff, curry, etc). Whenever possible, I also avoid food like Maggi Goreng and Nasi Goreng, etc.

The bigger concern for me is that, what i can take in lieu of protein supplements which I can hardly afford?

Thank you all
