    Left Knee Pain

    Yeah very poor, I'd agree I've been stretching more. Stupidly I didn't warm up properly before touch when I hurt myself. Should get MRI results tomorrow - the techie operating said PCL and ACL looked good. Lots of fluid on knee though, so I'm not imagining the injury. Very very happy the...

    Left Knee Pain

    Bazza maybe she was just "glass half full" - quads too strong sounds nicer than "Hammys too weak"! I'll take your comment on board though, cheers.

    Left Knee Pain

    Physio thinks issue is quads too strong for hammys, suggested no squatting for a few weeks / months... I'm not so sure but obviously no doctor, got MRI referral so will go get that done on Saturday. I'm almost positive after reading this post that a main issue was to do with squat form. Will...

    Left Knee Pain

    Diet planning help

    Separate question (sorry if hijacking like this is a no no....) If you have 2,000 calories maintenance and eat 1,500 but all protein, or really low carbs, or lots of fat - will you still see the same weight loss? Ie if you ate 1500 cal of chocolate and a multivitamin would you see similar...

    1 month cut.

    Are you doing any cardio or just weights? Cardio could help you eat a bit more(?)

    Super Human - Super Strong

    Thanks Tas, was a good watch, those 2 at the start would need the worlds strongest bed!! Coincidentally, I watched "pulling John" last week, a movie about arm wrestling and the dude in part 2 is it!

    Beginners program

    Thanks guys, I certainly haven't been gaining much in lifts but I also am certain that I haven't been eating enough, prob only eating 2,000 calories per day max. Started eating more as of last week and noticed some improvement already. Just now thinking how much I want to eat over summer...

    Beginners program

    Hey hey. Been doing this for about 10 weeks I think - just wondering..... What is the advice re staying on or changing it up? I recall old school wisdom saying body gets used to same exercises so should change up. What do experts reckon? Just stick with for 6 months (?) or a year or should I...

    100kg x100 reps

    Jeez for a beginner I'm staggered at this and also at the video you linked on YouTube, JZ your effort is amazing, well done - very motivational. I've been doing the beginner program recommended on here but maybe over the holidays ill try doing some big squat reps like you've done!!!

    Ab Exercises

    Thanks guys!! Didn't even think of an ab wheel, didn't realise they were any good - always thought they were a gimmicky late night $39.95(!!!) type deal! Oops. What do you recommend in terms of sets / reps??

    Ab Exercises

    Hi all, I've been doing PTC's beginner program for about 5 weeks now, pretty tough but having some nice progress I think! I want to train abs on my off days so was wondering what some of you guys do to exercise abs? I train at home so don't have some equipment so I guess what you think the...

    Beginners program

    Hi PTC just started your program, wondering if there is a rest period in between sets you advise? First go I went relatively light weights to ensure I could move tomorrow and rested 1minute between sets, will look to increase regularly cheers
