While I'm here, I cant quite get to parallel on my squats anymore! I seem to have seized! What stretches do I require to resolve this issue? I just need the names, I'll research them myself :) Cheers, Ben

Hehe, ghetto weights :) They work a treat. I guess all isnt lost. A bit of sled dragging, sandbag work, and other strongman training can still be done ghetto style to add another dimension to the easy and boring lifts to come :) I could also use the spare time I have to work on energy system...

Nothing to add there. It's good to see someone else that doesnt think creatine is the only way to put on decent muscle, like 75% of people seem to think! Stick with what Alex said, and you probably cant go wrong even if you tried.

I used to be able to lift properly. By properly I mean 395X2 for squats and 400X2 for DL's, but after doing in my rotator cuff while doing a series of clean and presses, I've lost a considerable amount of muscle. The cuff is feeling better now, but I dont dare go above about 70KG for benching...

Flys arent all that great for the chest. Only the first 1/3rd of the movement actually activate the chest - the rest is predominantly triceps. If your chest development is lacking, then consider dumbell bench pressing on an incline/decline. Hell, a slight incline bench press phase could be...

I'm still not training properly at the moment because of a recovering rotator cuff. As my financial situation stands, I cant afford to save for both a sportsbike and a gym membership - and frankly, the sportsbike is more important to me these days. However I was laying in bed last night...

"So I'm 5'4 and now weigh about 50kg." He's a begginer. The basis on being a begginer was that he is light, and he probably isnt shifting much weight, so his potential CNS capablities are much higher than a lean 190lbs guy that can deadlift close on 200KG for two reps. Therefore...

Home-made shake that gets me 1200 kcals that I drink through the day. A load of nuts rationed out into bowls gets picked at through the day as well. A bowl contains 800kcals worth of nuts - and I always get through the whole bowl. That being said, I'm probably over 4000kcal atm...

Well done. In 1700 posts, you've managed to read one of the articles in the bible. Have a gold star. P.S how did rivalling amazon go? All the best, Ben

**** using a split for a begginer. Full body work-outs, three times a week. Do this for 6 weeks, keeping the following true for every excersize you do. - Use compound movements involving either your body, or a barbell. Perform 5 compound movements, and if you want to, you could get away...

I'd rather be doing a few weeks with bugger all weight on the bar, improving my form and flexibility so I can go just below parallel to the floor. Of course, I could try and throw 180KG on the bar to do 2X20 breathing squats. But hey - I value my life. All the best, Ben

Hey semag. Sup? Remember me? How you doing dude, deadlifting houses yet? ;) For breakfast the other day I had 8 wheat biscuits, two pieces of jam on toast, and a 150g can of tuna. Breakfast is the most important part the day - your body has been fasting for the last 8 or so hours. It's dying...

Wow. Havnt been here in a long time. Looks like theres a few people left with a good idea of what it's all about. The problem with 95% of the people here is that they read something and think 'YEAH! that solves all my problems'. Then they click the next thread and think the same - despite it...

"I think 3 is the best number. Fuccin trio. 3 amigos, 3 muskateers... ya know." LOL I quite like going out with 5, finding out who's in the same sort of mindset as me, and then splitting up into either a pair or a trio. I prefer a trio for when I'm having one of those 'nothing goes your...

Someone I know said to this girl thats interested in me "Bens a player" the other night.. I guess it's similar. I think it doesnt matter. They're just insecure about themselves, so they wanna drag you down and bring you down a peg or two. I've also been called shallow cause I hit on good...

Thats completely true. If you dont stretch you'll remove flexibility. Having huge arms means you lose SOME mobility, but not much thats noticable. It's not like you're a piece of rock, your muscle still pushes in and moves around. I was out-sprinted by a 220lbs person the other day. I...

That is quite possibly the funniest thing I've read this week. :D

When she said 'dont be a nice guy, tell me what you want' I'd have said: "Well, now you've completely fvcked the moment I want to go downstairs, grab a beer, make a phone call and go out with the guys. I was gonna lay you down and fvck you so hard your beef flaps would be sore for days and...

I notice you said 'So I can please HER and me'. You're emphasising the woman. It's not like she's paying you for sex. As long as you know what you're doing, if you focus on relaxing and pleasing yourself, it'll all fall into place.

It's worth noting that I no longer wish to keep close guy friends. I'm realising it's much better to get close to a woman than a bloke. Avoid deep and meaningful conversations with guys. Keep it light, like you do when you meet someone for the first few times. Unless it's a major crisis, YOU...
