    L-Glutamine for muscle recovery

    I have read a few mixed reviews about L-Glutamine - some saying its fabulous stuff and others saying its a waste of money. I am looking at it for muscle recovery as often I find my body aches quite a bit at night following a decent weights workout. I take WPI (No Bull brand) but there is no...

    Inner thighs

    Ok girls, any tips on toning the inner thigh area? I have really upped the weights I use over the past 3 months and have been challenging myself a lot more than I was last year. I'm really starting to notice in these past few weeks how toned my legs are getting - in particular my quads and...

    Pulled muscle in lower back

    Thanks guys. Have to admit I've never heard of RICER and that's the reason I posted here for some advice (I'm still an 'L' plater in the gym). A Physio once previously recommended a Heat Pack which worked and this was the reason I used one together with Deep Heat cream this time round. They both...

    Pulled muscle in lower back

    Hi guys I stupidly pulled a muscle in my lower back from doing squats on Sunday morning. Bad technique as I went to stand and so my own stupid fault and the worst part is I have no idea why I stood up the way I did so am kicking myself. Anyway, I've been using deep heat, hot showers and wheat...

    Where do you go for diet info??

    Chocchillimango my protein is def too low going by your post. I have about half of that as I'd previously based my daily protein intake on 1gm per LBM. I am not a huge red meat eater, mainly because it just doesnt agree with me so I generally get my protein from chicken, fish, lean turkey...

    Where do you go for diet info??

    Thank you so much Big Mick, Bazza and Chocchillimango that is really helpful info. I have heard of HIIT but never tried on a long term basis. Will definitely look into all the links you guys have sent and re read the dietary info too. Again really appreciate the help and advice.

    Where do you go for diet info??

    Actually can I please ask 1 more question - was told I shouldn't combine cardio and weights at the same session as the cardio wipes out any gains from the weight training. If I did weights at say 8am for an hour and then did a 5km run at say midday is that still a no-no? Is it better to...

    Where do you go for diet info??

    I've lost about 5kg which I'm happy with. I suspect you're right in regards to bloating and intolerance to certain foods too. I use to do a lot more cardio but have dropped it a bit and increased weights which have made a huge difference. I've gone through a 12 week cycle of my new regime and...

    Where do you go for diet info??

    Yes I know Big Mick 3kg is not much but I've been trying to lose it for 6 months now and it won't budge. I have had 4 children and the last one is proving to be the hardest to get my figure back. I'm certainly toning up but really having difficulty getting a flat stomach - I can feel my ab...

    How do you cycle your creatine?

    I Recently started taking creatine (loving it!). Was initially using Concret which apparently requires no loading or cycling but switched to another brand about a month ago and it is much better. I loaded for one week then have taken one teaspoon/day before I go to the gym for the last three...

    Where do you go for diet info??

    My fitness schedule comprises running and weight training (alternating) with 1-2 days off a week. About 5 years ago I saw a really good Sports Nutritionist in Bondi who gave me an outline of what my diet should include, what not to eat and what supplements to take and when. He was brilliant. I...

    WPI from EBay??

    Just wanted to add that I bought the No Bull WPI and am really happy with it. Perfect flavour and fast delivery not to mention a great price. Will definitely buy from them again.

    WPI from EBay??

    Also, do you guys use 100% WPI or Hydrolyzed 100% WPI - I'm new to all of this and on a Bit of a budget so wondering whether the extra $$ will make a noticeable difference between the two powders
