    What is your training split?

    With the 5x5 stuff mate, is that full body? Or squat, dead, bench 5x5 on separate days? Current split for me is what has worked the best and I always go back to it....Reps are always different each week mainly using prilepins table as a base for volume and intensity. Day 1: Upper ( BB Bench...

    Protein pancakes

    If it tasted like shit mate there is a reason why, I dont know how the hell I overlooked it but I use a tablespoon of honey as well, for some reason I missed that on the recipe. Without the honey it wont color up in the pan and it will taste bland as fark. Give it a go with the honey in it...

    What are healthy T-levels? (chart)

    Not accurate at all, there are so many factors to take into account... No set amount will give a set number for an individual. Besides, total test isnt what you need to be looking at, its free test that is unbound that you want as high as possible. You can have test levels in the upper range and...

    Steroids and strength gain

    Of course they are going to give you increased strength and performance. The sheer ability to recover faster and have increased work capacity alone is enough to warrant decent strength gains, even at the same BW. Although I do agree somewhat about the fact they are more muscle building than...

    The true measure of performance

    I would definitely agree with Shrek, there is no way you can "cheat" with a deadlift, your either going to lock it out or you are not.. even hitching it up still requires the lock out.

    The true measure of performance

    Clean and strict/push press? ( not clean and jerk ) Squat? Depends on the sport but I remember Markos from PTC saying a fair while back that he personally used to always consider the clean and strict/push press a true measure of strength, takes strength in every aspect to be able to clean and...

    Man Almost Snaps Neck During Bench Press!

    ^^ Same but OHP is a much different lift, there is still a risk of the bar slipping and hitting you in the head but because you arent moving enormous weight overhead ( unless your an oly lifter i spose ) you would probably bail and throw the bar forward if you started to struggle in most cases...

    Is a calorie a calorie

    400g of protein a day? fk me.... do you shit mate? Good luck with your digestive system health down the track... wheres the fibre in a 400g a day protein diet? Would need to be downing psyllium husk like no tomorrow and drinking 10L of water a day to keep your body passing that amount of...

    Can't Squat? Don't want to Squat?

    LOL at the Elliot Hulse haters, he might be a bit out spoken and act like a toss sometimes but Im yet to watch a video of his on lifting that is bullshit, he speaks truth. If you cant squat for some genetic reason then you cant squat, pretty simple BUT if you can and your just not good at it...

    Worst protein you have had - hands down?

    ON Cookies and cream, ON rocky road, and by far the worst tasting was AST VP2 choc HWPI... nothing made that stuff taste good, even in milk with milo etc. added to it, any HWPI tastes like shit. Protein powder is protein powder, as long as the purity is there its good to go, if your like me and...

    Link between fatty foods and heart disease 'a myth'; fats are actually good for you s

    ^^ exactly mate, my old man is the same and that is what surprised me because ive pretty much inherited everything from him including blood type etc. so I thought i was going to get a nasty surprise when i got my bloods done but not at all. He did eat a lot of salami and trans fats which he...

    Link between fatty foods and heart disease 'a myth'; fats are actually good for you s

    Well out of curiosity ive replaced a fair bit of my carb intake and upped my fat content substantially for the past 6 months and I feel much better, sleep better, more energy all the time, leaner while at the same or higher BW, skin feels better etc. Been eating up to 10 eggs a day at times...

    low test? sunbake your balls

    Most people should be taking a vitamin D3 supp every day IMO, even though to much sun exposure has consequences the human body needs it. Most people working in offices or in retail etc. that are covered up and indoors all the time would probably have very low levels of D3.

    Lipodrive or Hydroxycut

    OP are you competing in a comp of some sort? If not I wouldnt touch Clen, without your nutrition 100% dialled in and the right kind of cardio being done Clen wont do jack shit for you. It will make a small difference but not enough to warrant the sides unless you are prepared to train and diet...

    Diet check please...

    How many calories is it? If you really want to get your nutrition on key and want to make consistent gains you have to track your calorie intake mate. I would be aiming at around 3500 calories per day at your current size and weigh in once a week and see how you go, try to aim for around 1kg...

    idea of drug tested gyms

    OP no disrespect intended but the stuff you are saying makes it look like you have a personal vendetta against people using steroids... can I ask why? Do these people affect you directly in your life in any way? Do they cause your training experience at the gym to be less effective in some way...

    Exactly... What a load of shit, pretty discriminating!

    idea of drug tested gyms

    How is it a different issue? The only reason for the testing in the first place is because they are illegal, I cannot think of any other reason why you would want to be testing for any kind of drugs unless the people involved are competing in some kind of federation or sporting governing body...
