Protein is protein is protein. Unless you get enough protein from real food, there is no point spending more money on designer protein shakes. I am just happy with the basic Scivation whey or ON gold.. the pro complex got more protein per serving coz the serving size is bigger.

QUOTE(SeLrAhC @ Mar 4 2009, 09:29 PM) hey guys... need opinion on pricing... how muhc does usualy a dumbell cost? 1 stick withouth plates.. for 1 hand only.. not barbell Can get those in pairs.. 1 pair for RM30-40 i cant remember..get those at Tesco. The plates u can buy seperately too..there is 10kg, 5kg, 1kg, 7.5kg plates..the barbell bar cost RM75. with threaded sides... If u want 1 dumbell bar only its hard to find.. can search secondhand. 1 dumbell with 10kg plates cost around Rm40 at Econsave. |

Seen the guy's thread. I workout at home and buy my own equipment. My first choice would be Tesco. U see with dumbells and barbells there is no guarantee that the plates will fit each other..especially if u buy from different brands. I find that the Tesco weight plates can fit both its barbell and dumbell.
Believe me..You dont want to buy and return back the plates once u found it wont fit the dumbell bar/barbell. |

QUOTE(yeah_guyz @ Mar 4 2009, 10:00 PM) hard to find meh..i see alot selling at carefour price around RM20+- Can't find those at Carefour last time i check..well i am at JB maybe different stock. 15kg dumbell for that price is quite cheap actually. Why not just sell yours..let other people use lor don waste. i am sure there are people willing to buy at Garage sale.but buying individualy cost you a bomb just wait for promotion, i got mine 15kg adjustable at around RM60+ now it is collecting dust...lol |

I own a kettler and the cheapo max dumbell. Almost the same..cant tell one apart from the other. But my Kettler comes 2.5kg and 1.25kg plates..not the regular 2kg,1kg plates on the max dumbell.
on a side note, both dumbell bars cannot fit the barbell weight plates..the hole is different size. This post has been edited by myvi5949: Mar 5 2009, 07:55 AM |

QUOTE(yeah_guyz @ Mar 5 2009, 10:16 AM) 20reps squat then? XD I am quiet curious wif this routine..doing 20 reps of 80% 5RM would be tiring. Muscles would be exhausted, but muscles cannot get big from exhaustion.. it gets big from overloading. That is the basis of all those low rep heavy weight routine. I am sure that by doing 20 reps you'lll boost your testosterone and hgh levels.. but this could also be achieve by doing regular strength training program like madcow and max ot. Varying the routine is ok but i just don't get the 20 reps..other than the increase intensity.with heavy weight, 80% to 90% your 5RM your muscle will be shocked again |

QUOTE(anonymousover9000 @ Mar 6 2009, 01:13 PM) peeps, i have been doin 20 rep squats for a month now. Soreness should not be a measurement of progress. The measuring tape and the mirror is.but i feel that i am not feeling much from the squat like soreness or "that feeling u get on the next day afta u workout " . i am almost approaching carying my bw squat but i dont wanna get into that too fast coz i am still am begineer in squats. izit becoz of my weight or my form? You just started.. doing 20 reps squats with 5RM weight is not a good idea. Focus on perfecting your form, intensity will come as u progress. |

Depends really..when do u usually fail when u squat. When lowering or lifting the weights?
I dunno much either but i heard that if u have problem lifting the barbell up u need to work on the "explosiveness".. improve explosiveness using pylometric exercises. Another method is to determine which bodypart that fail u during the exercise and work on them. Is it the back? quads? Improve on the lagging bodypart and you'll be able to lift more. |

It does not matter how much weight u train with. Whats important is your level of intensity.

This is the Bodybuilding thread rite?
Unless your goal is to be a weightlifter or compete in a strongman competition, it doesnt matter how much weight u can lift. Whats important is that u are able to stimulate muscle growth. This is done by lifting the heavy to overload the muscles. Though the catalyst for growth is strength, strength alone should not be a major concern. As long as you're progressively achieving good results in body aesthetics and bodymass, you're in the right path. |

QUOTE(zorange @ Mar 9 2009, 09:48 PM) haha.. i wonder how he does it.. but if we were to do some math, lets say he had a virility of 40 years and assuming everyday he had some 'pleasure'.. thats 14600 pleasures he had.. most women are only fertile about 5 days a month.. so means 5/30 = 16.6% chance the women will get a baby.. so if every woman gave birth.. he'd get 2400 children.. back in the days, mortality rate of children was high, about 20-30% ? so in total only 1700 children survived if he shagged everyday in the middle east for 40 years and assuming that every women will conceive on her fertile day (which also there is a chance she will not).. so that makes it kinda unlikely got a huge population with genghis khans genes ? lol.. Wow that's highly informative  Anyways, anyone ever hear ringing sound at the ears when you're lifting heavy? Sometimes i get this ringing on the last rep or lifting near my max. Its dont happen all the time, just sometimes.  |

Replace the rice/capati with complex carbs.. take more healthy fats like peanut butter and virgin olive oil.

QUOTE(kurtkob78 @ Mar 11 2009, 04:45 PM) Many people say, breakfast is important meal of the day. Put in more protein and good fat in breakfast. Oat is mostly carb. mostly i a agree.. but cardio should not be done immediately after of prior weight training. Cardio would drain your energy..after all, it is called weight training.. u should be able to lift the weight with 100% effort. So for me at least cardio is on off training days.IF u just eat 3 times a day. Don't you feel hungry in between ? You don't get fat from eating 5-7 times a day. You get fat if overeating. 5 meals a day also help to increase your metabolism. As for weekend, i think you still need to take the protein. To repair the muscle. BTW chapati is made of what ? As for your workout. IMO it's better to do cardio before weight training. But you will perform poor when lifting because tired from the cardio. If can, do cardio not on lifting day or on weekends. |
