QUOTE(tineagle @ Jul 4 2009, 04:42 AM) There's on at Kelana Jaya glomac. Its near the old giant, the new shoplots. This ones called Energy Fitness and its located above a corner mamak. They charge rm7 per entry, and membership would cost about Rm60 a month the last time i checked. Do the math and see which is more worth it according to your workout frequency. They dont have a power rack, but the equips there are pretty decent and you can do lots. Drop by for a visit, its where i workout when I'm back home on holiday away from my usual gym at uni. Gluck Yeah it's a great place. It's 70 a month now i think but hey much cheaper than anywhere else and the gym is pretty clean and ok. I go there at night during weekdays so might see ya around if u go. |

QUOTE(iamyuanwu @ Jul 6 2009, 01:37 AM) Sudden increase in blood pressure due to exertion. Drink more water all the time, and go do a medical check ASAP. You don't want to get a stroke halfway through squatting. i drink usual amount of water that day. It's just instincts i guess? Whenever i get a headache, tummyache, etc i take water? lol But yea see if it happens again then i do something about it. Just wanna check if it's normal |

QUOTE(kianweic @ Jul 6 2009, 09:06 AM) Did you have a headache before doing squats? Did you feel like you were going to faint? nope it didn't hit me until the last rep and it's really a stinging pain on the temples actually don't feel like fainting but i did feel dizzy because of the pain i felt like fainting and puking a few times before mostly when i do rows till failure...and it slowly build up one. This one strange...come out of nowhere. Anyways hope it doesn't happen again la..since its not normal haha |

QUOTE(JonYeap @ Jul 6 2009, 11:31 AM) oh... i am not sure coz the 1st time i did my squat also my bodyweight already. so i dont know how hard it is to get to that. after a couple of sessions i am doing almost 1.5 times my bodyweight already. so i have no clue... i seldom squat though... coz i dont really like it. haha... plus i have a weak back due to spinal injury years back. Lets just say when i first started a month ago i can only squat the bloody bar +10kg...even then the bar shaky shaky already haha now i can do 50kgs. I think for some weak ppl like me, we start really low but i think it goes up pretty fast One question from a friend. Can leg press substitute squats? It does seem like the same form especially if you are doing squats on the smith machine? If not what else needs to be added to leg press to get similar benefits to squat. |

This is stupid. My first set of incline bench during lunchtime today and here comes the pain again. Although only about 1/2 the pain of yesterdays.

QUOTE(kurtkob78 @ Jul 6 2009, 02:14 PM) bledig, do you breath properly during the lift. Exhale a bit at the end of exersion reps. I guess can reduce a bit of pressure from holding your breath all the way until the end of each set Yeah i guess i normally breathe out only after the whole rep for squats(after i fully stand up) because i was told to tighten stomach. if i were to breathe out my stomach with lax. But let me try it out. Although i am pretty sure that my breathing is correct for incline bench press. Let me squat again tomorrow and see how it goes Thanks! |

Thanks for the thread! I will retain my current squat breathing then. Damn! from the looks of the thread the best treatment is REST...and it lasts for a few weeks(and some suspect popped blood vessel....freaky)! But i'm so pumped up now and what a shame to go to waste. Have been going to gym 5-6 time a week since last month and man it felt gooood... Guess i am gonna force myself to sleep really early today and try squatting again tomorrow night.  |

no way so difficult? dangg. i was hoping to tell them that hey this stuff is sold in gnc and hope it works.
USPS requires u to hire pos laju after it's stuck. luckily bb.com uses fed-ex which serve u all the way until it's cleared. Dang i forgot that suppliments is taxable item. WTH man...
i got some whey, xtend, lipo and creatine. dammit thought get to save in the end might waste more. sheesh!
