    bulk cooking healthy meals

    The big advantage of pressure cookers are that they cook faster. I cooked a bunch of lentils, not soaked in 7min. Of course, it takes a while to come up to pressure. The bigger the pressure cooker the longer it takes. That's why I have two sizes. Because of the higher pressure the temperature...

    Almonds vs Cashews

    Give me a 1kg bag of pistachios and I will finish it in one seating. Otherwise it's a mix of nuts, but I don't like brazilian and pecans.

    I have 2 pressure cookers, 8l and 4l. On sunday I always cook up enough food for the coming weekdays. Last sunday I cooked this: Dhal Bhat Tarkari Recipe - Taste.com.au I substituted lamb for beef. Also so I don't eat the same thing all week, I broiled some chicken cuts marinated in my special...

    what are some top rated suppliments

    I take: WPI, Creaitine mono, fish oil, Blackmores bio zinc (sometimes), which is like mini ZMA, I find that if I take too much zinc I wake up in the middle of the night all horny and I can't get back to sleep. Vital Greens, same as zinc, every now and then when I get very busy at work and I...

    any vegetarian/vegans on ausbb

    Not really vegeterian, but after travelling in Nepal/India last year I added a lot more lentils to my diet. They are cheap and have more protein than other carb sources. It is incomplete, but if eaten with grains like wheat/rice/pasta/bread etc... it becomes complete. Also not very vego, but...

    Butter or margarine

    Butter, unsalted European style. Usually Lurpak, it tastes better. Also avocado goes well on bread too. I wouldn't touch margarin...

    Ow My Knees

    To me it sounds like your trainer doesn't know how to do squats, so find one who does. If you have knee pain he should be able to sort you out. I've seen too many clueless PTs who say their trainees form is good enough and it was painfully atrocious... So find someone who has a clue...

    Arthritis - treatment

    the question is how much of fish oil and glucosamine you were taking? if it's 1g a day etc... it will not do a thing. Lots of people say glucosamine doesn't work. But it works for me (I have half of my knee cut out). I take 8g+ of fish oil per day and eat a fair bit of oily fish. Also I take 6g...

    Gaining weight

    I've to say, the 7/11 in japan is quiet different to the 7/11 in australia. For starters they are one of the biggest banks and convenience stores, much bigger than what you see in australia.

    Gaining weight

    Like jzpowahz said, you are in Japan. The land of limitless calories everywhere. Have you been at train stations with the millions of awesome smelling bakeries? Buy your girl a cake. etc... It's so easy to get fat in Japan. Cheap food, everywhere. Ask my woman, she's Japanese and she's...

    You have to move from this country. Which country do you move to?

    Well, looks like end of April and start of May I will be heading to Nepal and after that Phi Phi/Krabi. Doing exactly what you did, snorkelling and floating. Have you got any info on the bungalow? Sounds exactly what I'm after.

    You have to move from this country. Which country do you move to?

    Well, I just got back from Japan and with current exchange rates it's a steal. Both have different atmosphere about them too. Since I'm getting old I prefer more laid back atmosphere, good service and hospitality. I recon both are worth checking out. I'm thinking about going to Phi Phi again...

    Wingman vs Oni Bench Challenge

    I would jump in too, if I wasn't going on a holiday in a few days. My bench at the moment is around 75kg for 5 reps and 1 rep too. It used to be 140kg, but thanks to shattered wrist and 2 busted elbows, my progress is slow and painful...

    You have to move from this country. Which country do you move to?

    It's american bases, you can't go there :) It's going to be more expensive then lets say bali, vietnam or thailand. But cheaper than Australia. Although Australia is kind of a third world country compared to Japan in a lot of ways. If you book early and lets say you book at the start or end of...

    You have to move from this country. Which country do you move to?

    A lot of Japanese go there. It is one of THE destinations to travel in Japan and all Japanese people want to go there. The worst time to go there is during Bon Festival Week. It's around 15th of August, it's the time when I went there. It can be very hard to book accommodation at that time...

    Spicy Chocolate tofu fries

    Most of the tofu sold is australia is rubbish. So it's no wonder there's lots of tofu hate. I hated it as well until I've travelled overseas and stayed in a temple run by monks. They made their own tofu and were very famous for it. It tasted like cream cheese, it was absolutely awesome. Since...

    Both of them advertise on this site: Advertisers / Sponsors Corner - Ausbb - Australian BodyBuilding I get it from no-bull or bulk nutrients, depends what's cheaper on the day.

    Help me with my carbs

    It might help also like I said previously, because your lifts are so low, especially deadlift is lower than squat. Do one of the beginner workouts.
