hai guise. one Q. how much difference will be for a barbell squat and a smith rack squat?

Hey does anyone know where I can get cottage cheese?
I've tried searching almost EVERYWHERE for it.  Various locations of jusco, tesco, giant, carefour, cold storage...etc

But no luck..

(i did manage to find one small tub of it at the Carefour in Tropicana Mall, but it was expired.)

You guys know that milk = casein + whey... right?
You go buy whey, then buy casein... might as well just drink skimmed milk. LOL!

i am suffering from back pain as well.
lower back.
due to deadlifts.
but it aint gonna stop me
the pain hasnt gone away the slightest bit since 3 days ago.
hopefully by next week it will be gone.
i cant even sleep coz its painful when i lie flat

injuries are part n parcel of any training, sticky on this anyone?

injury- lower back injury (oh nooo my squat.... just when im progressing.. sigh)
what can you do while one wait for it to recover?

We have it but we're all the way down south. However, if you go to 1U the climbing place there or to Pushmore, you can ask them where they get their supplies. Pushmore's one is slightly more ....how should I say, it doesn't crumble that much.

95 kg?... shit... i can only manage 55kg x10 rep x 5 set ATG.... sick.....

i dont dare do heavier...coz i scared after i clean it up then when tired no energy to return it softly..

the perils of having no squat rack

I've stopped squatting for almost a month since I started to have lower back pain from doing squats and only squats.

I hope you get well soon.

kotmj I was squatting 5sets of 8reps for quite a while with regular increments. I was determined to get a specific goal before I flew back to Malaysia, and it was on track with my increments (i.e. not a big jump). I guess when the weight gets heavier, the demands for stretching increases. I do stretch it out before each workout, of course now I realise that this probably needs more attention.

I guess what broke me was that it hurt and I was training through the pain anyway because I was so determined to make my weight before I flew back to Malaysia. I did make that weight but at the cost of an injury.

I don't know how I got the pain in the first place but as far as I can recall, it was during the exam period and my head was not in the game. At the time, I was really frustrated and absent minded, so it probably hit me then and I was not fully aware of my condition. From then on, it is likely that with no proper recovery, a small injury which would've healed in 10 days was exacerbated by overenthusiasm, which leaves me to lick my wounds today.

Safe.

In studies of immunodeficient mice, treatment with MYO-029 has been shown to increase muscle mass by roughly 30% over a 3-month period.
