    Supplements don't matter

    Let me ask you a question... Do you really think supplements matter? Pre workout, intra workout, Whey protein hyrolysate, do these things really help you? Are they worth the $100's of dollars you fork out? Do you really believe that your muscles need to "drip fed" every second of every day...

    Bringing up your legs

    Would it make any difference if I were to stop/reduce training upper body and focus on legs? Would the reduced load on my body mean my legs can repair better? Or would it have no major impact?

    Constant blocked nose

    Does anyone else suffer from a constant blocked nose? Rarely I can breath through both nostrils... usually I can breath half-unobstructed through one and the other is full of concrete. The half open nostril varies. When I work out I can usualy breath through both, I guess the mucous dissolves...

    What is lactose intolerance?

    According to some light googling, lactose intolerance is indicated by bloating, flatulence, uncomfortable bowels... in extreme cases diarrhoea. I can drink a lot of milk and always have, but like just about everyone I know who drinks a lot of it I get flatulence and bloating. I don't get...

    EAA's / Leucine causes vomitting

    If I put EAA's and Leucine in my pre or post workout shake it makes me hurl. I've recently taken my training up a notch, and can really feel the lactic acid churning in my gut after a workout. The added acidity of these acids make me hurl. Anyone else have any problem with keeping EAA's or...

    Train to failure or failure at training?

    I was just wondering how you guys draw the line between keeping one or two reps in the tank, and not going hard enough? I find it hard to progress without really exerting myself, in fact since I have stopped training to failure my lifts have stalled. I guess due to the fact that I am not going...

    Stable Bodyweight

    It seems that whenever I reach a new PB for weight, my base or what I will term base weight without effort increases. By base weight I mean my weight once work and other commitments take over and I dont concentrate on diet or working out. It wasn't long ago that I was struggling to get to...

    Does juice affect raw eggs?

    I am trying to get into raw eggs but the consistency of eggs is absolutely terrible. So I tried mixing them with pineapple juice, and it tastes pretty darn good. It seems to me that the juice breaks down the eggs (acidity?) and makes it less viscous. The sourish taste of pineapple also helps to...

    Bulking - Easy... Cutting & staying big - Hard

    So I find I can put on the kilos pretty easily when I try. I'm talking 3-5 kilos a month... Yes, some of it is fat but for the most part its muscle. My problem is that when I get to my goal weight of around 82kgs, I find it incredibly hard to stick to a maintenance diet that doesn't either wear...

    Going out

    Every once in a while, we all have one of those weekends where you've got about 5 events on. All involving alcohol... So for starters - I am going out tonight. Would I be right in thinking that going light at the gym this arvo is a good idea? As not to require quite so much recovery but also...

    Wrist Pain

    Acute pain in my wrist joint right infront of ulna(?) - bone on the right hand side of this pic: I think it's due to bench technique. It flares up when I use bars (DB seem to be ok because I can slightly angle my wrist). I was doing SLDL yesterday and it flared up, so I switch to alternating...
