I don't think they put any actual alcohol in it, i'm sure they're not dumb enough to risk the many lawsuits over drunken weightlifting injuries.

Do dumbell flyes, bent over flyes, bent over barbell rows, shoulder presses etc.

Dumbell flyes are very effective for anterior delts, bent over flyes and barbell rows for posterior delts, shoulder presses for overall shoulder.

You really need to work all 3 parts, when I started out I was having problems with my anterior delts until I started doing those specific exercises for them.

Some exercises you can do:

You cannot spot areas for fat reduction. If you want to see your abs, you need to get your overall bodyfat percentage down.
If it were possible to spot areas, then you'd see people walking around with ripped abs but flabby arms/legs.

Where did you get the idea that 'effective fat reduction' involves 80% diet 20% exercise?

Diet and exercise are two parts of a whole; both are equally important. You will still struggle to lose body fat if you exercise inconsistently even if you have a clean diet.You will also struggle to lose weight if you exercise consistently but have poor eating habits.

Eh? Sorry if I sounded hostile, didn't mean to come across like that, no hard feelings ok bro?

Jeeeezus, WHO CARES if cooked eggs 'lose protein' or not?

If you're so concerned about that (whether true or not), then EAT MORE of it!

Problem solved!

Arguing over whether cooked food loses nutrient content or not is stupid, because people have been eating cooked food for almost as long as humans have existed.
If cooked food was so horribly lacking in nutrition, we'd still be munching on raw animal carcasses, after all why go through all the trouble to cook the food?

All this concern over loss of nutrients is simply marketing tactics made up or dramatized by advertisers to sell their products.

I've lost count of how many cooking implements that claim, "our patented product keeps more vitamins and minerals sealed into the food than competitor's products, buy our product now!"

Supplement ads also lean on this to sell their products, "cooked food loses nutrients, so you need to supplement your diet with our products!"

There's a small gym near Jaya One (its behind Jaya 33, opposite Section 17) called the Heritage Sports Centre, RM10 per entry. Mostly basic equipment (yes there's a squat rack there), nothing fancy, and I haven't seen it crowded with people to date.

Yep, its in Section 13. Getting there is pretty straightforeward, its actually inside one of UTAR's campus blocks (the one directly opposite the Bosch factory, Block C) so if you know how to get to UTAR then there won't be a problem finding the place.

REYZAI also mentioned the place here.

Address:
Heritage Sports Centre
2nd Floor,
No. 3, Jalan 13/6,
Petaling Jaya, Selangor 46200


Google Map directions from Federal Highway.

No problem man, let me know if you're gonna check it out.

I did my first heavy wide-grip deadlift with a belt earlier today. Holy crap, makes alot of difference. Without a belt, not too difficult, still can stand straight after each set.

But when I wear a belt, feel like dying after each set and start to see stars. Found out that my back tended to hunch abit without the belt (probably due to back sprain I had a few months before), using the belt helped correct my form.

Yes, at least for me.

Ouch mofonyx, hope you get well soon!

Know how you feel man, I sprained my lower back several months back due to doing squats and deadlifts on one day, then the next day martial arts and mountain climbing... took many months to recover from that.

Lol.... if it was so easy or fast, everyone here who's been working out for more than a year would be huge, ripped and competing in Mr Olympia ady.

Squats might help a little with flexibility, but if you want to improve or maintain it, you still need to do your stretching. Doing squats won't impair dancing; in fact, it will help you become a better dancer since you're strengthening your core muscles.

Your body just hasn't accustomed itself to the exercise, so keep doing them and you'll eventually develop enough muscle conditioning. Then you'll be able to do it without breaking a sweat in no time.

PS what kind of dance do you do?

Cool, keep it up!

Bachata better.

An article about heaty & cooling food.

Personally, i've also noticed that taking whey or eating meat will increase my body temperature, but its only really noticeable at night.

People who're jealous will try their best to put you and your achievements down. Classic ego-protection-reflex action of someone who has self-esteem issues.

Don't let people like this get to you and make you angry or upset, if you feel the need, you can respond by smiling and directly pointing out his game by saying, "haha, you jealous is it?" in a joking manner.

If he say that, you can go on the offensive, "If so then you wouldn't feel the need to bring it up and talk trash, so do yourself a favor and keep your piehole shut if you've nothing constructive to say."

Or if you'd like to keep a relatively conflict-free relationship with him, smile and laugh as though he said something extremely dumb and absurd (and he did in fact do just that), and ask him who told him that. And then you can explain that there's a big difference between bodybuilding and powerlifting, but even bodybuilders get considerable gains in strength through training.

If it comes down to it, challenge him to prove that your muscles 'are just for show', by going to the gym right there and then, no excuses. It puts him in a catch 22 situation, where if he accepts, you'll make him eat his words, and if he declines, he'll look like a *****.


Full /= one.
