    Please suggest the most hassle free way to get a cotrisone shot

    I injured my triceps tendon about 10 weeks ago and stopped training completely to let it rest. It didn't recover and gotten slightly worse, and I'm hardly doing any physical activity with my triceps. It definitely seems like a case of tendonitis and I want to get a cortisone shot. I've had one...

    Nutritional figures on food labels

    This is something which has made me wonder sometimes. If 1 gram of carbs or protein are 4 calories, and 1 gram of fat 9 calories, why is the total calories per serving or per 100g often considerably different to the sum of protein, carb and fat totals?

    Who stretches?

    Just thought of this now as I finished my workout. I remember reading if many times before, but never paid much attention to it. Personally, I've never been big into preparation before lifting, probably never will. All I do is a few warm up sets of the lifts before performing them, for all the...

    Contact details for DEXA in Sydney?

    I want to get a DEXA at the end of the year with a couple of other guys. However, seems like the latest appointments are around 4:30pm, so it makes it difficult to get into the City at that time (Sydney). I've had a few done before when Jarrod was on Oxford St, now moved to Pitt St. He always...

    Short term bulk and cut cycles

    Some say it's not possible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. ie. You are either in an excess calorie state, or calorie deficit. I don't know what is or isn't possible, but if it is not possible, or if it's too difficult to balance perfectly to be possible. How short can a bulk and...

    Muscle building at lower bodyfat levels

    Would it be harder to build muscle at a body fat level ranging from say 6% to 10% rather than something like 10% to 15% ? Personally, I want to get lean and stay lean, but want to still be able to build muscle. So, is it more difficult to build muscle when at a lower body fat %

    What's the difference between a gaining and losing diet?

    This is something I don't quite understand at the moment. Say one is on a calorie deficit diet and slowly losing fat on 2500 calories daily. eg: 300g protein, 100g carbs and 100g fat. If 3000 calories per day will make that person gain weight slowly, where do you add the calories? What...

    Protein expired by 2 years

    I ran out of protein today and found a whole 10lbs bag of ON whey in my cupboard. It was still 98% full because I didn't like the flavour, Rocky Road. Anyway, I had a scoop just now, the expiry date was Nov 2009. Smells just like new and it's been stored in a cool dark place fully sealed. I...

    So tired and fatigued from bulking diet

    Does anybody else get tired and fatigued when on a bulking diet? I'm on a 30 day bulk, on my 10th day so far. 5kg gained so far. Problem is, I'm so tired all the time now and it's got to be from the excess calories being consumed. I'm taking in about 2200 calories above maintenance daily...

    Eye Fillet

    I've only ever eaten this once or twice in a restaurant, so always expected good quality. But tonight I bought some from the supermarket to try instead of Rump steak. The difference is huge, the Eye fillet is so nice and tender. However, the negative is the price. Was $9.35 for 250g - $38/kg...
