    Elbow Pain when Squatting

    I agree 100% with what Kelly said, had the same problem mate and went thumbless grip and its fine now, when you wrap your thumb around i think you automatically try to use your arms to help with supporting the bar more than you should and that overloads the elbows.

    Most effective way of taking WPI/WPC, Dextrose, L-Glutamine and Creatine Post+Pre w/o

    If your a soccer player and train a fair bit you can get away with a lot more carbs than most on here would and not gain excess fat. How heavy are you? And what sort of numbers are you pushing? Will give us an idea of the sort of calories you need and the amount and type of carbs your diet...

    Taking a week off after going at it for 2 months?

    If you feel tired rest, simple, no point in overdoing it if you feel you really need a break, i have taken a week off ( sometimes more with a flu etc. ) on several occasions and always come back feeling better, stronger and having a sharper focus than before the rest. That being said though 3x...

    I'm quitting

    I would think with a lift like the deadlift NOT doing 1rm`s over the long term would almost be impossible, its just one of those lifts, like the power clean and clean and jerk etc. where you are moving big numbers for your body and 110% effort is required, injury lurks in these areas sadly, ive...

    Yea you can but ive tried the cheap natural WPC and WPI and it tastes so crap i couldnt handle it, even with milk, i dont mind paying $150 a bag for ON gold standard thats around $1 a serve and mixes in with water and milk perfectly BUT this isnt casein and thats what the discussion is about...

    Can someone explain some things about cottage cheese, casein and whey to me?

    Dont stress to much about the amount of casein you are having, the main reason behind taking it is to keep the body from going catabolic while you sleep, thats the main reason, but its also pretty pointless to have to mix 2 different types of protein powders, lot of stuffing around for no real...

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    Have seen a few things lately, not good things sadly... 1. Seen a pretty strong bloke training using cables, he was using the whole stack for most things but each time he finished the set for some reason he had to let the cable go at full extension causing the whole stack of weight to crash...

    bodyweight training to maintain lean mass while healing from an injury..

    Thanks for the awesome advice Fadi, much appreciated! I do like the strength aspect but size is also important to me and i do train with a fairly heavy volume most sessions ( 6-7 exercises ) with either the squat or the deadlift at higher weight low reps as the main lift in any session. This is...

    Possible career change. Firefighter

    To the topic starter, Have you considered the defence force? The RAAF and Army have fire fighters, the pay and benefits in the adf far out weigh the regular fire fighters wages. 18% super ( not including your own voluntary contributions ), rental subsidy ( which is substantial ), free medical...

    STFU i want guns...

    As And the Ugly said, frequency is key IMO, with biceps being such a small muscle i honestly dont believe that you need to dedicate 3-5 exercises on them alone to get them to grow. How many lifters actually throw in some bicep work at the end of EVERY session? I never used to but i have since...

    Hi guys, For the past few months i have been sticking to around 3500 calories per day while doing only the PTC beginner program 3 times a week, my lifts have gone up very well in that time and so has my body weight. I dont really care to much for the scales but i use the mirror as my judge of...
